Here’s what I wore Wednesday August 5. A simple outfit which I dressed up with some long necklaces, red lips, and braided hair.

Black Nike’s
I bought another pair of shoes last month. I’ve used my beloved grey Nike Air Max sneakers so much that I thought it was time to get a new pair. I was lucky enough to find these black ones on sale and in my size. I love the metallic accent which kind of changes colour in different lights and angles.
Pastel purples
Here’s the make-up I wore Tuesday July 28. I wanted to try out the purple shades from my Sephora eye shadow palette, but they were not as pigmented as I had hoped for. I do like how the look turned out though; the pastel purples are really pretty too.

Lips: Revlon Colourburst Balm Stain in 001 Honey)
Exfoliate, prime and plump
I think these are the last two items I bought in Copenhagen last month. I’ve been wanting to try the e.l.f. Lip Exfoliator for a long time, and I really like it. I’m using it a couple of times a week, and it leaves your lips soft and exfoliated. I also bought the e.l.f. Lip Primer & Plumper which I’d never heard of before. There’s a nude primer at one end that primes and somewhat conceals your lips, and a clear plumper at the other end. The plumper smells a bit strange (a bit like cinnamon and something else) and you get that tingeling sensation on your lips. I’ve only used this product once, but I think it kind of worked. I have to try it a few more times to figure out how I really feel about it.
Flower power
Here’s the full outfit from my girl’s night out Saturday July 11. I didn’t have much time to get ready, because my friend and I had just come back from Copenhagen, but I love how this outfit turned out. I think the floral kimono and long necklaces dresses up the otherwise simple outfit.

Night out details
Here’s a couple of detail pictures from an outfit I wore on a night out with two lovely girls. I’ll post the full outfit tomorrow.
Sandals and necklaces
These are the none-make-up items I bought in Copenhagen last month. The sandals are from Zara and I think they’re really cute. The were on sale, and I don’t have anything like them, so I bought them:) I found the necklaces really cheap on sale at H&M, and I’ve already worn them several times. I’m actually wearing them in my next outfit post, and I really like them.
Minnie and Mickey
Here’s what I wore Saturday July 4. Another summer outfit from another hot summer day. I think this outfit is really cute, and it was so comfortable to wear.

Sephora goodies
When I went to Copenhagen in the beginning of July, I stopped by Sephora and got a few things. I got four products from the Sephora brand. I got a Long Lasting Kohl Pencil in a nude shade which I’ve been wanting for so long, and this one is the perfect nude for my skin tone. It’s called 07 Infinite Beige. The little round eye shadow palette was on sale, and I liked the colours. The pigmentation is not amazing though; especially not the purples, but I’ll try to make them work. I also got the Sephora Straight liner brush (it’s number 91), because I thought it looked interesting. I haven’t tried it yet though. The last Sephora brand product I bought was one I knew I wanted before I went to Copenhagen. I’d heard really good things about the Creme Lip Stains and I chose the colour 03 Strawberry Kissed. This is an amazing liquid lipstick that dries completely matte, but stays comfortable on the lips. I love it! But the product I’m most excited about is the NARS Audacious lipstick. This lipstick is quality, people! It’s a creamy formula, but it stays on the lips all day. I got the hot pink shade (no wonder) and it’s called Michiyo. Oh, and the sleek black packaging and the lid with the magnetic closure; incredible! I would love to add more NARS Audacious lipsticks to my lipstick collection.
Braid in the heat
Here’s the hair and make-up I wore with this outfit. I think my diagonal Dutch braid turned out quite nice; at least it was very nice to have my hair out of the way in the hot summer weather.

Lips: Moisture Renew Universal Transparent Lipliner in 001 Universal + MAC Oxblood lipstick & lipglass)
