A little hard to work with

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I really like the idea of this eye look, but the shadows were a little hard to work with, which I wasn’t expecting from a Lethal Cosmetics palette.

Last Christmassy look of 2025

Here’s what I wore Monday December 29. This was the last Christmassy outfit I wore in 2025, and even though I’ve loved wearing all of these festive looks, I’m excited to style my growing bump in other non-Christmassy clothes from now on.

Mostly merry

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I thought a cool-toned neutral/silver eye look paired with a red lip was fitting for the outfit.

Another family get-together

Here’s what I wore Sunday December 28. I went to another family get-together, and once again I ate a lot of good food and had a lovely time in the company of family.

5 favourites – December

Happy New Year! 2025 flew by so fast, yet a lot of great things happened in my personal life this past year. The event I’m looking forward to the most in 2026 is, of course, meeting my second child and becoming a family of four. I hope everyone has a great start to the new year, and let’s say goodbye to the old one with some December favourites.

Oden’s Eye Solmåne Moonlight Feel highlighter (shade: H101 Moon Talk): I’ve loved the Oden’s Eye Solmåne Moonlight Feel highlighters since they launched year’s ago, and the green shade called H101 Moon Talk has always been my most worn one, and since I’ve worn it a lot in December (it goes well with a green eyes and red lips make-up look), I thought it was about time that I featured it in a favourites post.

Rare Beauty Kind Words matte lip liner (shade: Devoted): Another product that I’ve enjoyed since it launched is the Rare Beauty Kind Words matte lip liner. I like a lot of the original shades, but my most worn lip liner this past month has been the later released red shade called Devoted. It’s just such a good red that goes with a lot of different shades of red lipstick.

MAC Regal Red lipstick: This MAC lipstick was a part of the 2024 holiday collection, and I’ve loved wearing it again this holiday season. It’s a frost finish, and the shade of red is so versatile depending on the shade of lip liner you pair it with. I wore it with two different lip liners here and here, so you can see the difference the lip liner pairing makes.

Trollbeads Cookie Joy ring: I got this ring for Christmas last year, so I didn’t get to wear it much until this Christmas season, and I’ve worn it every time I’ve worn silver jewellery since late November. It’s just so cute.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone In Concert: Two year’s ago my sister and I went to see Love Actually In Concert, and it was such a great experience, so back in April my boyfriend and I bought tickets to go watch Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone In Concert in the beginning of December, and once again it was so good! I hadn’t watched any of the Harry Potter films before (I know, I’m a millennial, how is that even possible), and the live orchestra playing the entire soundtrack made it even more special.

Collective haul – the rest (October 2025)

I have my other collective haul from October to share with you today. This one includes clothes, shoes, and accessories.

Let’s begin with the two Christmas clothing pieces I purchased this year. The sweater vest is from VRS (a supermarket brand), and I bought it in a bigger size, so I could fit my growing bump in there. The grey jumper is actually a second hand find, and I think it’s really cute.

Moving on to some more second hand pieces. I got these three jackets; a patterned cropped denim jacket, a slightly slouchy checkered jacket, and a fun and colourful blazer. My mum actually got me the colourful blazer.

These are the other four tops that I found second hand. The oversized red cardigan is so nice, and I’ve also worn it this holiday season. And I have a weakness for second hand/vintage patterned shirts, and I think both the grey one and the yellow one are so fun, and I’m excited to style them up. I have an orange top in the same style and from the same brand as the dark purple one, and I think they really fun pieces. I love the texture, the shine, and the beading.

You have seen me wear the red floral skirt a couple of times during this past month, and when I bought it, I knew that it would be great for Christmas parties/get-togethers. The red dress was given to me by an acquaintance, and I’m excited to wear it once I’m not pregnant anymore.

I’ve got two pairs of shoes to share with you. How could I pass on the Mickey and Friends Crocs? They were quite expensive on some websites, but I did manage to find them on sale. And I like a bit of a western-inspired shoe, and I just really liked these denim mules from Raid.

Lastly, I picked up these four pieces of jewellery. The flower brooch is a charity brooch for cancer that is released in a slightly different variation each year in Denmark. I think mine is broken though, which is sad, because I only got to wear it once. The blue pearl necklace, the pearl bracelet, and the Christmas tree brooch are all second hand pieces.

More shiny and glam

Here’s the make-up I wore with my Christmas Eve outfit. Obviously, I had to wear a green eyes and red lips look on Christmas Eve, and I love this more shiny and glam version.
