Nice and chill birthday

Here’s what I wore on my birthday Thursday August 8. I had a very nice and chill day, and I was alone most of the day, but my parents had invited me and my little family over for dinner. I invited my parents and sisters etc. over for a birthday celebration a couple of days later.

Magasin haul – mainly sale (August 2024)

I have a beauty and accessories haul to share with you today. Everything was on sale apart from the first lip liner and lipstick.

When I saw that Rare Beauty had launched a red shade in the Kind Words matte lip liner and lipstick, I had to pick them up. The shade is called Devoted, and it’s super pretty.

I’d been wanting to try the Sephora Collection About That Shine lacquer shine and sheer shine lipsticks, so I got the lacquer shine lipstick in the shade 09 Volcanic Lava and two of the sheer shine lipsticks in the shades 10 Radiant Flame and 16 Electric Glitter. Both formulas are very lovely.

The last make-up product, which I also really wanted to try, is the Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Melting Bronzing & Contour Stick in Chocolate Mousse. It’s a very creamy, blendable bronzer that looks beautiful on the skin, and it smells divine, like orange flavoured chocolate.

Let’s move on to the accessories. I got this floral tote bag from Pieces that can hold a lot of stuff.

From Pieces I also got these big, asymmetrical earrings.

And speaking of earrings, I also picked up these three pairs from Mango.

I also got this pearl necklace from Pieces. You know I love me some pearls.

I also love brooches, and I was so excited to find these pretty, beaded butterfly ones from Becksöndergaard. I actually wore the pink one yesterday, and I’m wearing both the blue one and the green one today.

Last up, we have hair accessories. I bought this headband and these two hair clips from Pieces.

I also bought a navy blue flower hair clip, a pink flower hair tie, and a big pink scrunchie from Becksöndergaard. I’ve really enjoyed wearing all of these accessories.
