5 favourites – July

Another month has gone by, which means that it’s time for 5 favourites once again. I’ve been enjoying some time off in July spending time with family, but I’m actually really excited about starting work again now that I can actually go back in to work and don’t have to work from home every day; I’m a teacher, so it’s a lot easier to do my job if I’m in the same room as my students:) Anyways, I actually had a lot of favourites this month, but as always I’ve narrowed it down to just five.

Beige stråtaske formet som muslingeskal - Topshop

Shell-shaped straw bag: This Topshop bag has been the perfect summer bag. I brought it with me on holiday, and it just goes with every summer outfit.

T-Rex hoops

T-Rex hoop earrings: These earrings were an anniversary present from my boyfriend, and I’ve been wearing them nonstop. I love everything dinosaur related, especially things I can wear on my body.

Huda Beauty Nude (Light) Obsessions eyeshadow palette: I love the Huda Beauty Obsessions palettes; they’re compact and travel-friendly and the quality of the shadows is great! I’ve been travelling with this nude version all of July, and I’ve loved using it. You can create the prettiest looks with this palette.

Jeffree Star x Shane Dawson Velour liquid lipstick (shade: Are You Filming?): I haven’t gotten around to hauling this yet, but it was love at first sight with this shade, and it’s been my most worn lip colour in July. It’s the perfect yellow-based red, and I love the Jeffree Star Velour liquid lipstick formula, so this is a winner in my book.

Dumbo 2019

Dumbo (film): I’ve been wanting to watch the live-action version of Dumbo since it released last year, and I finally had a chance to do so last week. My mum and sister had been raving about it and for good reasons. I was so good; much more interesting than the original animated one, and I would love to rewatch this some day.

Green tones

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I really like the tones of this green eye look, and MAC Velvet Teddy (which I actually wore for the first time that day) seemed like the perfect lip colour to match.

Here’s what I wore Tuesday June 16. How great is this pink suit! It’s so good, especially paired with orange; pink and orange has definitely been added to my list of favourite colour combos this year.

Pretty and purple

Summery weather

Here’s what I wore Monday June 15. The weather was very summery in June, especially in the second half of the month, so I’ll be posting a bunch of summery looks for a while.

Big collective MAC haul

I’ve collected a bunch of MAC products over the last couple of months I think, and I’ve decided to put them all together in this one haul.

DSC_1231

I thought about getting this Patrick Starrr Floral Realness full face kit in Me So Fleek for so long, and I finally decided to get it when I found it 50% off. It comes with a powder blush duo in Take Me Home, an eyeshadow quad in Play With Me, a lipglass in Queen P, and a retromatte lipstick in Hey, Boy, Hey!.

DSC_1239DSC_1249DSC_1257DSC_1259

I also got two powder blushes and two lipsticks on sale. The blushers are both matte and very intense shades, as you can see. The red shade is called Apple Red, and the purple shade is called Undercover Heroine. The lipsticks, I purchased, are the Viva Glam I lipstick in the 25 year anniversary packaging and the classic Heroine shade.

At a different time I puchased a few more MAC products (these were also all on sale). I bought a back-up of one of my all-time favourite eyeshadows, Nylon. I also purchased the lip pencil in the shade Boldly Bare, which is the perfect pinky nude lip liner. Lastly, I bought two more lipsticks and got one for free. The one I got for free is the frosty orange one called CB96. The lipsticks, I actually bought, are called Feeling Myself (amplified creme) and Derriére (matte).

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wore the Essence Bloom Baby, Bloom! eyeshadow palette for the first time, and as I wrote in the haul, I wasn’t impressed. I had to add one of the Stila Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow liquid eyeshadows to make the eye-look work.

Summer layering

DSC_1355DSC_1356

Here’s what I wore Friday June 12. It was slightly colder than the previous day, but still warm, so I decided to layer my dinosaur shirt on top of my yellow tank top that I’ve been loving lately and paired them with my favourite jeans.
