5 favourites – May

Tomorrow, it’ll officially be summer, but weather-wise the summer started four weeks ago. I don’t think we’ve ever had weather this beautiful for four weeks in a row in Denmark; at least not in my lifetime. And it appears to continue for a while. Anyways, enough about the weather for now. Let’s talk about my 5 favourites from the month of May.

Hvidt sløjfespænde

White bow: When the weather is hot, I wan’t my hair out of my face, and this bow (which used to be my mum’s) has been one of my go-to hair accessories.

Hvide smalle cat-eye solbriller

White cat-eye sunglasses: I featured these sunglasses in my most recent haul, and they’ve pretty much been the only sunglasses I’ve worn since a bought them. I love the cat-eye shape and the white frame, and they look great with any outfit.

Jeffree Star Velour lip scrub (Mojito): When you wear lipstick everyday like I do, exfoliating your lips is essential. This Mojito-flavoured lip scrub from one of my favourite make-up brands does the job, and it smells and taste incredible.

Maybelline nude neglelak

Maybelline Super Stay 7 Days gel nail colour (shade: Second Skin): My nails have been in a really bad condition lately, so I’ve had to cut them very short. When I have short, broken nails, I don’t like to wear bright nail colours, and instead I opt for a nude, and this is the perfect nude nail colour for my skin tone.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (film): I’m featuring another super hero film this month, but man, this is a great one. I really like the first Guardians of the Galaxy, but Vol. 2 is even better! I can’t get over how cute Baby Groot is.

More brown please

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I don’t know why I haven’t worn this brown lipstick more, because I think it’s beautiful, and it looks great with matching brown eye make-up.

Dress over jeans

Here’s what I wore Tuesday May 1. I’ve been wanting to try the ‘dress over trousers/jeans’ look for a while, and I really like how this loose-fitting dress looks over blue, skinny jeans. I might try other ‘dress over trousers/jeans’ looks in the future.

(Jeans – Monki, dress – VRS, roll neck top – H&M, shoes – Shoe Biz Copenhagen)

Huge H&M haul – accessories

This is the second part of my huge H&M haul; the accessories.

Hvide smalle cat-eye solbrillerSorte ovale solbriller

I bought two pairs of sunglasses. The white cat-eye ones are very trendy right now, and I see why. I love the retro look to them, and they’re such a statement. The rounded black ones also have a retro feel to them, and I love the shape.

Pink sock boots m. kitten heel - H&M

I’ve always wanted a pair of hot pink shoes, and these sock boots give me total ’80s vibes. I wanted to wear them with this outfit, but it was raining that night, and I don’t think these boots are great in rainy weather.

Fishnet strømper m. hjerter

I’m still loving fishnet socks, and how cute are these ones with little love hearts on them.

Pink hue

Finally, I got this hot pink hat (which would look great paired with the hot pink sock boots), and even though it’s way to hot to wear a hat like this one right now, I’m looking forward to wear it next winter.

Glittery eyelids and a bright lip

Dinner and drinks

Here’s what I wore Saturday April 28. I went out fot dinner and drinks with a friend, and I felt like wearing a super colourful outfit.

Purple pop

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love this make-up! On a daily basis I tend to wear very neutral eye make-up, but adding a bit of colour to the lower lash line is super quick and easy, and it looks great.

(Base: primers – Benefit the POREfessional face primer + L’Oréal Lumi Magique Pure Light primer, foundation – Maybelline Fit Me Luminous + Smooth foundation (shade: 110 Porcelain), concealers – MAC Pro Longwear concealer (shade: NC20) + Maybelline Fit Me concealer (shade: 05), powders – Wet n Wild MegaGlo contouring palette in Dulce De Leche (highlight shade) + Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless pressed powder (shade: 90 Translucent). Face make-up: contour/bronzer – Benefit Hoola bronzer, blusher – MAC Nutcracker Sweet Peach Face Compact Extra Dimension blush in At Dusk, highlighter – MAC Nutcracker Sweet Peach Face Compact Extra Dimension skinfinish in Tutu.

The way to go

DSC_5260DSC_5262redi

Here’s what I wore Thursday April 26. It took me a long time to figure how to style this beautiful shirt I bought in Helsinki last October, but as it turned out, tugging it in to high waist flared jeans was the way to go.

(Jeans – H&M, shirt + belt – second hand, sneakers – Missguided)

First impressions: Stila Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow liquid eye shadow

DSC_5385

A ton of beauty youtubers have raved about the Stila Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow liquid eye shadows, and as a glitter lover, I had to try one out. I chose the shade Smoldering Satin, which is a brown/taupe with silver glitter.

First impressions

The eye shadow is really easy to apply. It has a pretty standard liquid eye shadow/lipstick wand/applicator. I used a finger to blend out the edges which worked very well. It dries rather quickly, and it’s really long lasting. It also looks stunning, so if you love an intense glittery look, I would definitely recommend these. I recently bought a second shade, and I would love to add more colours to my (small) collection.

Red, black, and white

Here’s what I wore Wednesday April 25. Red, black, and white are three colours that always look great together, and when I bought the red, cropped sweatshirt, I instantly thought that it would pair perfectly with my black and white gingham trousers.
