5 favourites – October

Happy Halloween! I can’t believe that Spooktober is over by tomorrow. I’ve never been one to celebrate Halloween and spooky season, but I’ve been really into this year. I’ve bought a lot of decorations, and I’ve been wearing Halloween inspired outfits this whole week, and it’s been so fun. But lots of other things happended this month. I had a week long holiday and I celebrated my daughter’s birthday with my family. I can’t believe that I have a two-year-old! Time really flies, and expecially when you have children. Anyways, I’m looking forward to me and my boyfriend’s annual Halloween date tonight (we watch The Nightmare Before Christmas and eat Halloween sweets), and I’m also really looking forward to moving into the Christmas season. But first, here are my 5 favourites from the month of October.

Short pearl necklace (Asos Design): I actually just posted a haul featuring this short pearl necklace yesterday. As I wrote I love me some pearls, and this has been one of my go-to necklaces this past month.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Power Grip primer + 4% Niacinamide: You know how much I love the original Power Grip primer from e.l.f. Cosmetics, so I was excited to try the 4% Niacinamide version, and I think I like it just as much as the original one. I’ve used it a lot this past month that’s for sure.

MAC Shape + Shade brow tint (shade: Taupe): I think I got this brow product as a gift with purchase from the MAC website at some point, and I started using it, when I’d used up my Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil. As it turns out, I really like it. At least the felt tip end (I haven’t used the “powder” end yet).

Nobody Wants This (TV series): For once I’ve had time to watch some TV series in October, so I watched the first season of “Nobody Wants This” in a few days during my holiday. I love a good rom-com, and this was really good. I’m excited for season 2.

And Just Like That… (TV series): I’ve been hesitant to watch “And Just Like That…”, because I love Sex and the City so much, but I decided to finally watch it, and I was very pleasantly surprised. It’s always difficult to do a follow up to an iconic series or film, but in this case I think it was done right.

Asos + NA-KD sale haul (June 2024)

I have a collective Asos and NA-KD sale haul to share with you today. It’s my first time purchasing from NA-KD, and I really like the items that I picked up. But before we get into those, let’s begin with the Asos stuff.

I picked up two cute summer dresses from Asos. The orange floral one is from a brand called Influence, and it fits me perfectly. The checkered dress is from Glamorous, and it’s lovely as well.

I want more waistcoats in my wardrobe, and I think this black and white one is a nice addition. It’s from Asos Design.

Leopard print has been one of the big trends this year, and it’s a neutral coloured print that I can get behind. I really like this pair of wide leg jeans from Asos Design.

And speaking of leopard print, isn’t this sheer asymmetrical skirt from Asos Design fun?

These are the last three items I got from Asos, and they’re all from Asos Design. I love me some pearls, and I’ve been getting more and more into golden accessories, so I’ve used these three pieces a lot.

Now let’s move on to the stuff I purchased from NA-KD. Just look at this pretty red dress! I don’t know where or when to wear it, but I just had to have it.

I just love this blouse. I actually wore it two days ago, and I had so much fun styling it.

Capri trousers were everywhere this past summer, and I thought I would give the trend a try, so I got this black pair.

Lastly, these are the accessories I picked up from NA-KD. My obsession with flower pins/brooches and brooches in generel is going strong.

Here’s what I wore Friday July 5. I sadly found an unfixable hole in the tulip shirt, so I had to get rid of it, which was a shame. However, I had it for a long time, and I bought it second hand, so it’s been used and loved.

Collective haul – beauty (June 2024)

This is my collective beauty haul from June. This haul includes a lot of good stuff.

First I’m going to show you the items I picked up from the Danish drugstore Matas. I got most of the stuff on sale. I added another Sol de Janeiro scent to my collection. This is the Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 40 perfume mist.

These two products are from the Essence It’s Bubble Gum Fun collection. I’ve already decluttered the liquid highlighter in 01 Bubble Gum’tastic, but the bouncy blush in 01 Make My Heart Bubble is decent as far as I remember.

The NYX Butter Gloss Bling lipglosses are really nice glittery glosses. I picked up the shades 05 She Got Money and 07 Big Spender.

I was really excited to try the Fenty Beauty Hot Cheeks Velour blushlighter in Fresh Peach, but after trying it I don’t think it’s going to be one of my go-to glowy blushes due to the very golden sheen. The Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Oil Luminizing Lip Oil ‘N Gloss in $uperfine $uga looks really pretty.

I also purchased a selection of products from Clarins. I got the Bronzing Compact sunkissed healthy glow powder, two of the Instant Comfort lip oils in 24 White and 25 Black, and two of the Lip Oil balms in 2 Pitaya and 5 Cherry. I really enjoy these products.

Let’s move on to the things I bought from Sephora. I picked up these three cheek products; the Haus Labs Power Sculpt velvet bronzer in Soleil Sand, the Haus Labs Color Fuse Longwear Glassy Lip + Blushstick in Glassy Lilac, and the Milk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly Tint blush and lip stain in Burst. I really like the two products from Haus Labs, but I don’t really get the hype around the Milk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly Tints.

The other three make-up products I picked up from Sephora are the Rare Beauty Always An Optimist Soft Radiance setting powder in Light, the Natasha Denona Hy-Glam concealer in P1, and the Natasha Denona Hy-Gen Skincare Infused Glow Beautifier in Light. I really like the Rare Beauty powder, and the Natasha Denona Hy-Gen Skincare Infused Glow Beautifier is really pretty, but I just can’t seem to find the right shade of the Natasha Denona Hy-Glam concealer. Maybe it’s time to give up.

Kayali is probably my favourite perfume brand, and I was so excited to get my hands on the Vacay in a Bottle miniature set. The set comes with the following four scents; Marrakesh in a Bottle Orange Blossom I 24, Capri in a Bottle Lemon Sugar I 14, Maui in a Bottle Sweet Banana I 37, and Maldives in a Bottle Ylang Coco I 20. It’s hard to pick a favourite, but I think it’s either Capri in a Bottle Lemon Sugar I 14 or Maui in a Bottle Sweet Banana I 37.

Lastly, I had to buy these two stunning palettes from Cosmic Brushes. They’re called the Nudetrals palette and the Cooltrals palette, and I’m so impressed by both. Cosmic Brushes makes some of the best quality eyeshadows in my opinion.

Tons of pink

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. As you might be able to tell, my eyeshadow had already started fading and creasing when I took these pictures right after I’d done my make-up. Once again, I’m disappointed in Ace Beauté eyeshadows.
