5 favourites – June

Posted on by

Can you believe that we’re already half way through 2024?! I can’t. Once again, this past month has been a month of ups and downs, but luckily I’ve got all of July off, and I’m definitely in need of a holiday. I’m hoping for nice, sunny weather, but you never know when you live in Denmark. July is not always the best summer month weather wise. Anyways, I actually had a lot of favourites this month, but I did manage to narrow it down to five, so let’s talk about those.

Tank tops: A few years back I wasn’t really into wearing tank tops, but recently my collection of tank tops have grown, and I’ve worn them so often this past month, often underneath another layer, but also on their own when the weather was nice.

Big flower brooches: I’ve been wanting some Carrie Bradshaw like big flower brooches for so long, and I finally came across these two (and a couple more actually). Carrie Bradshaw is one of my biggest style icons, and she’s one of my main outfit inspirations this summer, so these flower brooches are must haves.

L’Oréal Glotion natural glow enhancer (shade: 901 Fair Glow): There are a lot of products like this on the market, and I own a couple of different ones, but this one sets itself apart from the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter and its dupes in both the packaging and application, but also when it comes to the shade. This L’Oréal one is more of a cool toned pinky shade, whereas the others I’ve tried are more champagne or golden champagne, so I like to have different options, and I do think that the L’Oréal Glotion is stunning.

Bobbi Brown Sheer Finish pressed powder (shade: Soft Porcelain): I have to admit that I purchased this powder mainly for the beautiful packaging, however, I’ve found out that it’s a beautiful powder. It’s very lightweight and it just makes you skin look good.

Bridgerton – season 1 (TV series): I know, I know. How did it take me so long to watch the first season of Bridgerton. I don’t really know, but I do know that I’m so glad that I finally started watching this series, because I was hooked right away. I’ve already started watching season 2, and I’m excited to continue to follow the Bridgerton family.

Zalando sale haul (March 2024)

I have a Zalando sale haul to share with you today. It includes one piece of clothing, two pairs of shoes, and some make-up bits.

The only clothing item in this haul is this shiny pink shirt from Monki, which I thought would be a nice layering piece.

These lime green mules are also from Monki. I already own them in dark grey denim, but I just love this kind of green colour so much, so I had to have this version as well.

You have no idea how much I wanted a pair of Jeffrey Campbell Litas back in the early 2010’s, but I was a teenager, and they were a little too expensive for me to buy back then. When I came across this multicoloured glitter pair at Zalando and saw that they were on sale, I purchased them immediately, and my teenage dream of owning a pair of Litas finally came true. I wore them in my latest outfit post.

Earlier this year MAC launched a collection based on their famous Teddy lipstick. I picked up the Lustreglass lipstick in Ready Teddy and the Deeply Teddy lip pencil. I’m wearing both on my lips here.

3ina makes really nice lip products. I had already tried the The Color Lip Glow formula and really liked it, so I picked up two more shades; 114 (Terracotta Brown) and 170 (Coral Red). I’d also been wanting to try the lipsticks just called The Lipstick, and I picked up the two shades 172 (Orange) and 430 (Cold Purple). These are very nice lipsticks too.

Lastly, I got the L’Oréal Infaillible 3-Second setting mist. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m definitely intrigued by it.

Smokey and muted

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I actually like this look more than I originally thought I would, since it’s a bit more smokey and muted in the colours than what I typically tend to wear.

Here’s what I wore Tuesday April 16. Another suit inspired look that I love. I really like the neutral colours paired with the pop of aqua blue. And the shoes! Jeffrey Campbell Litas have been on my wishlist since they were first introduced back in 2010, but more about that in my next haul.

Don’t be jelly

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’d been wanting to create an eye look with the Unearthly Cosmetics Don’t Be Jelly palette for a while, but I wasn’t sure how to go about it. Suddenly, I thought about pairing the greens with the plummy purples together, and I love how the look turned out.

Here’s what I wore Monday April 15. I wore suit inspired looks that entire week, and I love this first look. Sadly, my pearl necklace that I wore fell apart minutes after I took these pictures, but I managed to (sort of) put it back together.

Collective haul – make-up (March 2024)

I have a collective make-up haul to share with you today. I purchased these products back in March.

The e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Poreless Putty primer is one of my favourite primers, and I don’t want to run out of it without having a back-up ready.

The Pixi + Hello Kitty collection is by no means new, but I’d been intrigued by the Chrome Glow palette in Charming Glow, which is an all shimmer highligher and blush palette, and I have to say that I’ve been really enjoying it so far.

These next three products I purchased in a Sephora sale. I wasn’t sure I wanted to get the Natasha Denona Hy-Per Natural face palette, but as it was on sale, I picked it up. It’s a nice travel palette. On the other hand, I definitely wanted to pick up the Natasha Denona My Mini Dream glow blush. Isn’t is cute? I also got the Sephora Collection Soft Matte & Easy smooth matte lip colour in Yes And? 9, which is a pretty coral red shade.

From Essence I bought two of the Baby Got Blush liquid blushes, and they’re in the shades 10 Pinkalicious and 30 Dusty Rose. I also got The Slim Stick lipstick in 103 Brickroad, the Call Me Queen mascara, and the Brow Lifting gel set.

This is the Iconic London Multi-Use Cheek Glow Blush in Play Time, and it’s such a pretty, glowy blush. I’ve been really into glowy blushes lately.

Lastly, I just had to buy the Clarins Lip Comfort Oil Neon collection including three shades in 21 Joyful Yellow, 22 Daring Orange, and 23 Passionate Pink. The Clarins Lip Comfort Oil is one of my favourite lip oil formulas. And they smell incredible!

Here’s what I wore Saturday April 13. My boyfriend and I went on a dinner date, and I just had to wear one of my new Crás dresses. I chose the green and pink one and paired it with more green and pink pieces. I also threw on this great denim trenchcoat, and I love how the entire look came together.
