Little details

Here’s what I wore Thursday April 11. I love the little details in this look from the scarf to the chain belts.

Unexpected, but beautiful

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love how this make-up look turned out! I think the dark green with the coral-red with the lime/fiery peach multichrome look beautiful together. It’s such a fun and unexpected colour combo, and I’m so into it.

Mickey Mouse jeans

Here’s what I wore Wednesday April 10. I hadn’t worn the Mickey Mouse jeans since before I was pregnant, so it was fun pulling those out of my closet again.

Sephora haul (February 2024)

I have a Sephora haul to share with you today. The haul includes new at the time products from R.E.M. Beauty and Natasha Denona.

I picked up three of the R.E.M. Beauty Hypernova satin matte blushes and one of the Hypernova satin matte bronzers.

These are the three blush shades I purchased (from left to right): Pinking of U, Skinny Dipped, and Peach Planet. Pinking of U wasn’t available at first, but when it came back in stock there was a 20% off deal on the Sephora app, so I obviously had to get it then. These are very nice blushes and I love the shades.

I picked up the lightest bronzer shade, which is called Send 2 Voicemail. I’m not quite sure how I feel about this shade and undertone yet.

I love most products from Natasha Denona, and I was definitely interested in this Berry Pop collection, but I’m glad I waited to pick it up until that 20% off deal.

This is the Berry Pop Cheek Trio – blush & highlighter palette. Isn’t it pretty?!

The small collection also included the Berry Pop lipstick and the Berry Pop lip crayon. I really enjoy both the lipsticks and lip crayons from Natasha Denona, and this berry colour looks really pretty.

Not great quality

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. My favourite part of this make-up look is definitely the brown, glossy lip. I don’t like the eye make-up; the quality of the eyeshadows I used wasn’t great.

90’s vest

Here’s what I wore Tuesday April 9. The vest was my mum’s in the 90’s, and I hadn’t worn it in ages, so it was fun styling it up again.

Blue for spring

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I used the Adept Cosmetics Element 115 palette on my eyes for the first time, and I think the look turned out so pretty. It’s a perfect blue eye look for spring.

Collective beauty haul (February 2024)

I have a collective beauty haul to share with you today. I purchased these products back in February.

This is the Laura Mercier Dawn Of Discovery illuminating set which includes a full size Blush Color Infusion in All That Sparkles and a mini Caviar Stick eye color in Strike A Pose. I’d been wanting to try the Laura Mercier blushes for a while, and this one is very pretty. The Caviar Stick is fine, but not my favourite.

Another product I’d been wanting to try ever since I first saw it is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Seeker highlighter in Pearl. It’s a limited edition release for the Lunar New Year, and it’s very pretty. I’m also excited to try the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze gel. I got a deluxe mini size.

The rest of the products in this haul are from Oden’s Eye. I made an order when the brand released the Legendary Diversa II collection. I picked up the three collab palettes from the collection; the Oden’s Eye x Fancy Face Earth Wood palette, the Oden’s Eye x Annette Obrestad Mighty Monster palette, and the Oden’s Eye x JUDY Spring Dragon palette. I’ve created beautiful looks with all three palettes.

With the three palettes I received a key ring, a refrigerator magnet, and a scarf.

I didn’t pick up any of the lip products from the Legendary Diversa II collection, but I did pick up three of the lip products from the Helaween + Angelica collection from last Halloween. I got two of the matte liquid lipsticks in the shades Shadow Creature and Swamp Fog and one of the shine lipglosses in the shade Quicksand.

The last product I picked up was the Norn’s Mesmerizer highlighter in Web Of Destiny, and it’s super pretty.

Pretty decent

Here’s the make-up I wore Saturday April 6. I went second hand shopping by myself that day, so I wanted to do a quick make-up look, and I think it turned out pretty decent.
