New clothes

I’ve been shopping quite a bit lately and apart from the second hand clothes I bought recently, I’ve also bought some new clothes (as in not used). The item I’m most excited about is the black bomber jacket from WEEKDAY. I’ve been wanting a black bomber for a really long time, and this one is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. The blue/white jacket/cardigan (I don’t know what to call it) is from H&M and it was on sale. I thought it was cute and different to anything else I own. The denim shirt I actually bought about a month ago. I’ve been looking for a new denim shirt, and this one from Only seems to be the perfect length and it’s really comfortable as well. I usually don’t buy a lot of basics, but I had to get the grey WEEKDAY T-shirt. The material is so soft and I really like the fit. Lastly, I was on the hunt for a dress to wear at my mum’s birthday party in the end of August, and this one from H&M is so pretty. I love the colours and pattern and the simple style of the dress. I’m really looking forward to style and wear all these items.

Good Luck Trolls

DSC_0121DSC_0129DSC_0127

You might have noticed by now that I’m obsessed with limited edition MAC products. I’m especially obsessed with limited edition lipsticks and I consider them collectables, but as you might also have noticed I actually use them and don’t just keep them on display. When I found out about the Good Luck Trolls collection I was really excited, because the packaging looked so colourful and pretty, and I’m so glad I managed to get my hands on these products. Initially I only ordered one lipstick and a beauty powder, but then I swatched the other lipstick colours in store yesterday and bought one more.

The lipstick I ordered online was this fun blue one. It’s called Midnight Troll and has a matte finish. It’s similar to Matte Royal from MAC’s permanent lipstick line, but Matte Royal is a bit darker and has a slight purple undertone. Midnight Troll is just straight up blue. And how cute is the name! All the names in this collection are spot on.

The lipstick I couldn’t resist at the physical store yesterday was this beautiful shimmery hot pink. It’s called Dance Off, Pants Off (how amazing is that name) and it has a frost finish. This is my first frost finish lipstick from MAC, and I can’t wait to try it on. It’s funny how frosty and metallic lipsticks have become popular again.

DSC_0042DSC_0047

The product I knew I wanted as soon as I saw it was this gorgeous beauty powder. It’s called Glow Rida (another amazing name) and is a light shimmery beige powder. I wore it yesterday as my highlighter, and it was so beautiful. It’s quite a subtle highlighter, but you can definitely build it up which was what I did, and it just looks so gorgeous on the skin. This has to be my favourite packaging from the collection; that shimmery bright pink packaging is every make-up lovers dream.

Another beautybay haul

DSC_9741

I placed an order on Beautybay.com a little while ago and I thought I would show you what I purchased.

DSC_9762DSC_9765

The products I was most excited to try were the liquid lipsticks from L.A. Splash. I ordered three different kinds to test the formulas out, and I’ll make an updating post about these when I’ve tried all of them out. I got a Lip Couture in Ghoulish, a Studio Shine Lip Lustre in Catrina, and a Velvetmatte in Flix n Chill.

DSC_9751DSC_9754

In my last Beautybay order I purchased two Makeup Geek blushers which I love, so I thought I would finally try out Makeup Geek eye shadows. I chose Cupcake (dusty pink) and Chickadee (warm yellow) which are both matte shadows. I haven’t worn Cupcake yet, but I’ve used Chickadee to warm up my crease a couple of times and it looked very pretty.

DSC_9749

I also purchased two more Morphe brushes; M411 and M510. M411 is a more precise crease brush and M510 I use for highlighting. Morphe brushes are really good quality brushes for affordable prices.

DSC_9747

Lastly, I purchased some Ardell Demi Wispies false lashes and some Duo lash adhesive. I would like to wear false lashes more often on special occasions.

And then I also got a free gift. I chose a sample size Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear brow gel which I’m excited to try out as soon as I’ve used up the brow gel I’m using at the moment.

Latest MAC lippies

DSC_9693

I want to quickly show you my latest MAC purchases, because I’m really excited about them.

DSC_9688DSC_9696

First off is this gorgeous lipstick from the MAC x Chris Chang collection. I think this is one of the most beautiful packagings from a limited edition collection I’ve ever seen. The collection has five lipsticks and there was a couple of other shades I wanted as well, but they were sold out. I’m really happy I got my hands on this shade though, because it’s such a gorgeous yellow-based red which is my go-to kind of lip colour. It’s called Vermillion Vee and it has a matte finish.

DSC_9699

I also decided to finally pick up the lipstick in Faux which I’ve been swatching so many times at my local MAC store over the past many months. It’s a beautiful a mauvy pink nude and it has a satin finish.

DSC_9702

Lastly, I purchased the lip pencil in Soar which I’ve been wanting for a really long time as well, but it had been out of stock on the Danish MAC web page for ages. It was back for a short while and now it’s out of stock again, so I’m really glad I managed to get it, because it’s so beautiful.

Even more NYX lippies

DSC_9603

After trying the NYX soft matte lip creams and the NYX Liquid Suedes, I knew that I wanted more colours because both liquid lipstick lines are really good. I recently bought three more soft matte lip creams and two more Liquid Suedes.

DSC_9596

The soft matte lip cream shades I picked up are Stockholm (nude), Prague (deep magenta), and Copenhagen (deep red plum). The only shade I haven’t worn yet is Copenhagen, but I’m sure I’m going to love it just as much as I love Stockholm and Prague (and the other shades I own).

DSC_9599

The two shades of the Liquid Suedes I picked up are Soft-Spoken (rosy-brown nude) and Vintage (brown plum). These shades are quite unique in my collection, and they are so beautiful. If you have any recommendations for other shades of both lip products, I would love to know.

MAC Vibe Tribe

DSC_9444DSC_9448

I finally got my hands on a couple of products from the MAC Vibe Tribe collection which is this years main summer collection. As you can see the packaging is super pretty, and so are the actual products.

DSC_9456

Of course I had to get one of the lipsticks. I chose the brightest one (no surprise there) and it’s this beautiful orange-red shade called Painted Sunset. It’s an amplified finish, so it’s really creamy and pigmented. I wore it yesterday and it’s the perfect red lip for summer.

DSC_9469

I also couldn’t resist the Gleamtones powder which is a new type of powder from MAC. It’s called Dunes At Dusk and it’s a gorgeous highlighter. I guess you could also use the four shades individually as eye shadows, but I’ve been wearing all four colours swirled together as a highlighter and I’m so happy that it’s light enough for my pale skin. You could obviously also wear the different shades individually as highlighters or mix two or three of them together. So many options. I love it!

MAC Brooke Candy

DSC_9267DSC_9271DSC_9277

There are so many awesome MAC collections launching this spring/summer, and here’s what I purchased from the Brooke Candy collection. I don’t really know anything about Brooke Candy, but that doesn’t matter to me as long as the products are nice. First of all the packaging is stunning. That mirrored silver with black and grey paint splatters is gorgeous. Obviously I went for lip products and as you can see I purchased two lipsticks and a lip pencil; all three in limited edition shades. Both lipsticks are matte. The Barbie pink lipstick is called Doo-Wop. I’m wearing it today, and it’s such a fun, bright pop of pink on the lips; perfect for spring and summer. The dark purple lipstick is called Witching Hour. It looked like such a cool colour, and I’m drawn to everything purple so I had to have it. I also got the dark purple lip pencil to go with it, and it’s called Night Crawler. I can’t wait to wear those two products together. They probably won’t be considered that spring/summer appropriate, but I’ll most likely wear them soon anyways.

Urban Decay Naked 2

DSC_8771DSC_8763DSC_8770

I finally purchased the Urban Decay Naked 2 eye shadow palette which I’d been craving for years. It’s my first Urban Decay palette, and I’m not disappointed. The quality is great and the colours are beautiful. If you’re not familiar with the Naked palettes the one just called Naked (the original one) has warm-toned neutrals, this one (Naked 2) has cool-toned neutrals, and Naked 3 has rosy neutrals. There is also a Naked Smoky palette which is full off darker, smoky shades. The only one of the palettes I’m not that keen on is the original Naked palette, but I would love to own the Naked 3 and Naked Smoky palettes.

Two from MAC

DSC_8990DSC_9003

On the very last day of March I purchased these two MAC products. I’d been checking the MAC webside several times that day, because I knew that the Halsey lipstick was going to be released. I also decided to buy a limited edition Mineralize Skinfinish.

DSC_9007

The Halsey lipstick is a grey lipstick with a blue undertone, and it looks a bit more blue on the lips than in the bullet. I really wanted this lipstick because it’s a very different and unique shade. It has a matte finish which is my favourite finish from MAC.

DSC_8999DSC_8997

The Mineralize Skinfinish is in the shade Warm Rose. It’s described as a pastel pink with a pink reflex which I think is a pretty good description. I would say it’s definitely more of a finishing powder than an actual highlighter, unless you like a very subtle shimmery highlighter. Either way it looks really pretty on the skin.

Crazy about NYX

DSC_8965

I’ve been going a bit NYX crazy lately (I’ve also bought a few more NYX lippies since I took these pictures), but I think NYX is such a nice affordable brand and it recently made it’s way to a couple of Danish drugstores around the country, so I had to take advantage of that. Here’s what I’ve purchased:

DSC_8929DSC_8930

First off I purchased the Hightlight & Contour Pro Palette which I had been wanting to try for a while. I think I’ve worn at least one of the shades everyday since I bought it, and I have to say that I really like this palette. My favourite of the highlight shades is Cream which is the yellow shade, and my favourite of the contour shades is Sculpt which is the one right below Cream. If you’re looking for an affordable highlight/contour palette I would definitely recommend this one.

DSC_8907

Mascara is one of the few products where I rarely ever experiment and try out new products, but I’ve always liked the idea of a coloured mascara and NYX has some really pretty colours to choose from. I picked the blue one, because it was the least out there colour, and I’m really impressed by this product. I didn’t expect for it to be as pigmented as it is, and is doesn’t flake and holds the curl all day long. I would love to try out some of the other colours as well.

DSC_8957

I purchased one of the butter glosses. I had one of these already before I purchased this one, so I knew I liked the formula. This one is in the shade Tiramisu and it’s a very nice neutral colour that works on top of a lot of different neutral lip colours.

DSC_8960

The soft matte lip cream is a product I’ve been wanting to try for a really long time as well. I purchased three shades (from the left); Antwerp, Cannes, and Transylvania. I like the mousse-like formula and the completely matte finish, and they don’t feel too drying on the lips. The two lighter shades are really opaque and even on the lips, whereas the dark shade is a bit more patchy and needed to be built up with a couple of layers. All shades are gorgeous though, and I would love to get my hands on more of these.

DSC_8951

When I saw that the Liquid Suede cream lipsticks came in some fun and different colours, I had to try out a couple of them. I chose the shades Amethyst and Stone Fox. I haven’t worn Amethyst (the purple one) yet, but I really like the Stone Fox shade which is a dark blueish grey. It’s really pigmented and such a cool colour. I would love to get some more colours from this lipstick line as well. The next two pictures shows swatches of the lip products in the order I’ve mentioned them. The first pictures is without flash; the second is with flash.
