5 favourites – July

Today is the last day of July, which is also the last day of my summer holiday. I had such a nice, relaxing and long summer holiday this year, which was perfect considered my current state:) And I only have to work for a month before my maternity leave begins. This month I have a mixed bag of favourites, so let’s talk about them.

Maternity denim shorts: At some point I’ll be posting a H&M MAMA haul, but I had to feature these denim shorts in this 5 favourites post. These are really comfy, and they’re the perfect length. I’ve worn these a lot on hot summer days.

Violet classic Crocs: I never thought that I would actually purchase and wear a pair of classic Crocs, but I love the sandal version, and now that I’m pregnant, they’re just so easy to slip in to when taking down the garbage or when going grocery shipping. And I love that you can customise them with all different kinds of Jibbitz. This pair is decked out with all different kinds of fun and colourful ones of course, and I think it looks so cute!

Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara: This is not a new product in the beauty world, and I remember people talking about it years ago, but I hadn’t tried it until early this month, and I really like it. It’s not the most volumising mascara, but it doesn’t transfer or smudge, which is such a big plus for me. I also think it looks really nice on the lashes.

Thor: Love and Thunder (film): My boyfriend and I are big MCU fans, so we went to watch the newest Thor film last week, and we both really enjoyed it. I think Christian Bale’s Gorr is one of the creepiest Marvel villains so far.

Floor fan: This last favourite might be a bit strange, but this floor fan has been a life saver on the hot summer days, we’ve had in Denmark in July. I’m not a huge fan of super warm weather anyways, but now that I’ve tried being pregnant in super warm weather, a floor fan is a necessity!

Can’t not

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I can’t not wear a blue eye look with that blue floral matching set. I think it’s impossible.

Room to grow

Here’s what I wore Friday June 3. This matching set was a go-to during this time of my pregnancy, and I deliberately purchased the trousers in a size bigger than I normally would, so they would have room for my growing bump.

More midnight

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’ve already posted quite a few make-up looks where I’ve used the By BEAUTY BAY Midnight 42 Colour Palette on my eyes, but here’s another one, and they’re many more to come, because I just love that palette.

Juvia’s Place haul – palettes and lips

I have a Juvia’s Place haul to share with you today. I haven’t purchased much from Juvia’s Place these past couple of years, but I was intrigued by their smaller palettes and lipsticks, so I picked up a few. Let’s begin with the palettes.

These are the four eyeshadow palettes I picked up; Olori I & II, The Sweet Pinks, and The Rebel Mints.

As far as I remember there is a third Olori palette as well, but I preferred the colour stories of I and II.

I’ve previously purchased The Violets and The Berries from the line of monochromatic palettes, and I really liked The Sweet Pinks as well. These pinks are so pretty.

The Rebel Mints is one of their smallest four pan palettes, and it consists of mints of course. I’m actually wearing all four shades from this palette today, and I think my eye look turned out really nice.

For lips I picked up one of the Luxe Lip liners in the shade So Rare, which is a warm brown, and I also got three The Nude Velvety matte lipsticks in the shades In Vogue, Muted, and Lady. I like the finish and formula of the lipsticks, but I really dislike the scent.

Flattering neutrals

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m very impressed by the quality of this newer Catrice eyeshadow palette, I was wearing on my eyes that day. I think it’s such a flattering neutral eye look on my eyes, if I do say so myself.

(Base: primers – Essence Catching Clouds Cloud-touch Mousse Primer in 01 Up On Cloud + I Heart Revolution x Elf collection primer, foundation – Maybelline Dream Urban Cover foundation (shade: 100 Warm Ivory), concealers – Rimmel The Multi-Tasker concealer (shade: 020 Fair) + NYX Born To Glow radiant concealer (shade: Pale), powders – Essence Brighten Up! Banana powder in 10 Bababanana + Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish powder (shade: 1 Fair). Face make-up: bronzer – Ofra Cosmetics x Samantha March River bronzer duo, blusher – Clinique Cheek Pop Pearl blush in 04 Rose Quartz Pop, highlighter – Essence Disney Classics Maxi Blush Highlighter in Bambi 01 Nature. Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Catrice Disney Classics Multi-Effect Eyeshadow Palette in Miss Bunny 030 Flirtatious (shades: Hello + Tail + Thumper + Make Up + Passion + Fashionable + Eyelashes), mascara – MAC M·A·CStack mascara, eyeliner – MAC Studio Chromagraphic pencil in NC15/NW20. Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze + Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown. Lips: NYX Suede Matte lip liner in Cannes + MAC Sweet-N-Vicious lipstick)

I’ve got some news…

I’ve got some news. Maybe someone have already guessed it, but in case you haven’t, I’m…

PREGNANT! I’m beyond happy and excited! My biggest dream in life has always been to have children, and now that dream is coming true.

These outfit pictures are from Monday May 30, so my belly is obviously bigger now. Be prepared to see many more bump pictures included in my outfit posts:)
