First impressions: Stila Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow liquid eye shadow

DSC_5385

A ton of beauty youtubers have raved about the Stila Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow liquid eye shadows, and as a glitter lover, I had to try one out. I chose the shade Smoldering Satin, which is a brown/taupe with silver glitter.

First impressions

The eye shadow is really easy to apply. It has a pretty standard liquid eye shadow/lipstick wand/applicator. I used a finger to blend out the edges which worked very well. It dries rather quickly, and it’s really long lasting. It also looks stunning, so if you love an intense glittery look, I would definitely recommend these. I recently bought a second shade, and I would love to add more colours to my (small) collection.

Small collective make-up haul

DSC_5111DSC_5114DSC_5123

I haven’t bought much new make-up lately, but when Beautybay.com had a sale a little while back, I finally bought the Jeffree Star Velour liquid lipstick in the shade Prom Night, which has been on my wishlist for absolute ages. I also decided to try out one of his lip scrubs and chose the Mojito scent/flavour. I will make a first impressions post on it at some point. And then I recently saw some new eye shadow palettes at the Essence display at my local supermarket, and I thought I would try one out. I will also be posting my first impressions on this palette another time.

Huge second hand haul pt. 2

Here’s the second part of my huge second hand haul. You can find pt. 1 here.

Mørk fuchsia og grøn ternet lang blazer - second handMørk fuchsia og grøn ternet nederdel - second hand

It’s always awesome finding a matching set, even though I don’t think I’ll ever wear the two pieces together. I love the print and colours, and the quality is very nice.

Grøn, blå og orange ternet lang kilt - second hand

I found some more tartan, and this is actually a Scottish kilt. I thought it was such a fun piece, and I think it will be very interesting to style.

Støvet khakigrønne fløjlsbukser m. vide - second hand

These corduroy trousers are one of my favourite items from this two part second hand haul. I found them in the men’s section, but they fit me perfectly. I’ve already worn them a ton.

Blommefarvet pelset beret

I’m expanding my beret collection, and this fluffy plum-coloured one is quite unique. It’s been my go-to hat ever since I bought it.

Sorte lange støvler m. hæl - second hand

I’d been looking for a pair of long square toe boots with a ’90s/early 2000’s vibe, and these are perfect. I think they’ll look good with so many different outfits.

Jeffree Star Love Sick Velour liquid lipsticks

DSC_4888DSC_4881

I’m always excited about new Jeffree Star Cosmetics collections, but the Love Sick collection has one of my favourite Velour liquid lipstick colour selections ever. I loved the colours so much that I had to buy all four shades. The shades are (from left to right): Romeo, Restraints, Problematic, and Self Control. My favourite one of bunch is Self Control; a beautiful lilac. I’ll be posting make-up looks featuring these lipsticks eventually.

Coats

H&M has a great sale right now, and I took the opportunity to purchase some winter coats. All three of these coats have such good prices, and I know I’ll get a lot of use out of them. I’ve already gotten a lot of use out of the black puffer jacket. I haven’t worn the red puffer jacket yet, but it was so inexpensive, and I just love the colour. I’ve been looking at the gorgeous oversized shearling corduroy coat before, but it was too expensive, but now that it’s on sale, I had to get it. I love it!

Christmas presents and more

Here’s some of my Christmas presents and a couple of advent calendar presents as well. I got the black leather belt bag on my gift advent calendar from my mum, and I’ve been wanting one for a while. I wear it crossbody, and it’s my new everyday bag. The ring is by the Danish jewellery designer Jane Kønig. It was on my wishlist for Christmas, and I love it. The dinosaur earrings are from a website called Lisa Angel, and they are adorable. The eye shadow is MAC Ricepaper, which was another advent calendar gift. It has already become a part of my everyday eye make-up routine. The blusher is MAC Peaches, which is the perfect peachy blusher. Lastly, I got another Urban Decay Heavy Metal glitter eyeliner. It’s in the shade Distortion, and it’s so pretty.

BeautyBay 30% off sale + more

DSC_4217DSC_4330

In November, BeautyBay had a 30% off sale, so I bought the items in the first picture. I decided it was time to try out the RCMA No-Color Powder that I’ve heard so much about. I also really wanted to try out a Stila Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow liquid eye shadow, and because they’re so expensive I waited for a sale. I purchased the shade Smoldering Satin. Lastly, I bought a couple of eyeliners; a bright reddish orange from Morphe called High Maintenance and a metallic taupy champagne from Zoeva called Nude Reflection. When the Jeffree Star Holiday Glitter collection finally hit BeautyBay I purchased the Velour liquid lipstick in the shade Mermaid Blood which is a gorgeous teal colour. I also bought a Morphe eye shadow brush in number M518. I’ll be featuring these products in future make-up posts.

H&M haul

I have another clothing haul to show you, and I’m pretty sure this will be the last one of the year. When I went shopping and bought these things, I also tried on the red Mickey Mouse Christmas T-shirt at H&M, but they didn’t have it in my size, so when I found it on sale on the website, it was meant to be. I also found the Donald Duck T-shirt on the website which I’m very excited about. I can’t wait to style it. I also bought a little, Black cami top with sequins which is great for parties and nights out. I’ve been wanting the plaid trousers for a while, so when I found them on sale, I had to order them. They’re so festive, but I’m going to wear them all year round. I’ve also been wanting a black, A-line mini skirt for a long time, and even though this one is a bit shorter than I hoped, I’ll make it work. The belt was a gift from my advent calendar from my mum, and it’s a really nice plaited one.

I have another clothing haul to show you. These are all pieces I bought last weekend. I went to buy a last Christmas present and a couple of these items, but I found a couple more things I liked. As you can see, I’ve added another Christmas jumper to my collection. I couldn’t resist the cropped Mickey Mouse Christmas jumper at H&M. It is so cute and so comfortable. I went in to H&M to find the Bambi jumper which is again so cute and so comfortable. When I saw the burgundy velvet jumper at Monki, I had to try it on, and it’s the most comfortable and cosy jumper I’ve ever worn! The black velvet top with gold shimmer is what I went in to Monki for, and it’s perfect for the Christmas season. Monki had a 3 for 2 deal on socks, and I love cute socks, so I got two stripy pairs and a Christmas pair. Lastly, I found the red beret which I wore with this outfit in a second hand store, and it’s a really great quality beret. I used to wear hats more often, and I really want to start doing that again.

Collective clothing haul

Sort rullekravetrøje - BoohooLyserød og hvid stribet trøje m. kirsebær print - H&MVinrød strop top m. v-udskæring - H&MVinrøde fløjlsbukser m. vide - H&M

I have a few clothing items to show you that I’ve collected over the past month or so. I didn’t own a simple, black roll neck top, so I ordered one from Boohoo on Asos. I’ll wear it on its own or underneath a cami top. I found the pink and white, stripy long sleeve top on sale on H&M’s website, and I had to have it. I love stripy tops and the colours and the little embroidered cherries are so cute. I bought the burgundy, shiny cami top at the same time as the stripy top, and I thought it would be perfect for a Christmas party. Especially layered on top of the black roll neck top. And last but not least, one of my favourite purchases in a long time; high-waisted, flared, deep burgundy, corduroy  trousers. In the beginning of October I started my hunt for a pair of corduroy trousers, and I actually saw these at H&M, but they only had one pair left and they were not in my size and no other H&M store had any left. So I went on the website, and I didn’t buy them until about a month ago when they were in stock in my size. They are exactly what I was looking for; super ’70s inspired and so gorgeous! My next post will be an outfit featuring these amazing trousers.
