Hey lovelies!
I've been accumulating a whole bunch of new makeup over the last few months and I finally got a chance to try it all. I honestly don't think that there's anything better than just playing around with makeup, taking your time to apply it, and fully slowing down to enjoy the moment; it's like a reward!
I've got to say, I'm really happy with the way that this look turned out. I feel like it would be perfect to wear during the warmer seasons or whenever you want a little soft glam in your day to day life. It definitely channels that glowy vibe that a lot of us love and I think that the pink and pearly champagne colours really make it feel fresh and girly.
Funnily enough, this was the first time in a long time that I had actually made an effort to stray from my usual products and try new ones for practically every step of my routine. I made sure to film the whole process which you can watch here!
It's amazing just how good trying a new routine makes you feel and I thoroughly enjoyed exploring different ways of applying my makeup, especially my blusher. I've never been someone with blush blindness but on this day, I felt like applying a lot more than I usually would and I also extended it further up my cheekbones and ended up loving how it looked!
I hope you try out this makeup routine too and if you need any of the product details, just scroll down to the bottom of this post!

Hey lovelies!
In all honesty, I'm not sure if anyone even remembers this mini series I did over on my Instagram and TikTok back in 2023, but for me, it was a time where I could really show off my style and the types of pieces that I gravitated towards.
Granted my style has changed so much over the years, as it does with everyone, and I found that by posting daily outfits for 31 days I was able to somewhat develop my style further.
Little did I know, it would do a whole lot more than that. Let's delve a little deeper:
1. It forced me to be creative with what I had: Often, we get into a rut when putting together an outfit and we resort to buying new clothes just because we're constantly telling ourselves, "I have nothing to wear", which is a total lie. I realised that if I just stopped and looked at my wardrobe, I could definitely find pieces that worked well together.
2. I realised that my style was quite inconsistent: Factors like where I was going, what I was doing, and who I was seeing heavily determined what kind of pieces I ended up wearing. I don't think that I've ever been able to pin down what my style is because when you combine the factors I mentioned before with my mood on the day, I could be anything from girly to tomboy to tomboy femme to business casual, to name but a few! I guess there's beauty in that though.
3. It pushed me to be consistent in posting: I was so proud of this one! I tend to struggle to post if I am not in a great place mentally or when I'm just too busy enjoying life. I distinctly remember being so excited to start this mini challenge because I could finally provide good content after months of feeling 'meh'. Daily content for 31 days straight was a challenge but I loved every second!
4. I created a whole bunch of new outfits: I think this part was the most fun! When I actually took the time to think about the looks that I wanted to create, I ended up wanting to make more of an effort rather than mindlessly shoving clothes on and thinking "that will do". Convenience overrides a lot of things for me and as a consequence my style suffers. With this challenge, I could carefully curate some new looks and use my socials as a lookbook once I had posted my outfit videos.
5. I might have too much of a good thing: It's not hard to take a look at your wardrobe and see what types of pieces you have too much of and for me that is t-shirts. I love graphic t-shirts with a passion, so much so that the lower half of my wardrobe is packed with them! The quantity is high and the quality of them are great but I don't feel like they offer me much variety when it comes to creating an outfit. There are only so many times that you can put t-shirts with jeans, cargo trousers or other types of bottoms before it gets boring. I found that they ended up becoming a roadblock for me and one that I still struggle with on a day to day basis. I am definitely working on finding other tops that I can pair with my staple jeans or trousers to diversify my looks!
Until next time...
Love always, Stephanie
