5 favourites – April

Another great month has come to an end. I went to London with two friends in the beginning of the month and afterwards I went home to spend my Easter holiday with my family. I’ve had a great time in England so far, and I’m really looking forward to May where I have several exciting events coming up. But first things first; here’s 5 favourites from the month of April.

Rimmel London Fix & Perfect Pro primer: I have to mention this primer that I talked about for the first time in this post. I wrote back then that I loved it, and I still do. It’s the perfect base for any make-up look, because it simply makes your skin look and feel good. This is a product that I would definitely repurchase.

Revlon Colorburst Balm Stain (colour: 001 Honey): I only mentioned this particular balm stain a few days ago, but I bought it in the very beginning of April and I’ve been wearing it a lot. It’s just such an easy colour to wear, because it goes with pretty much any make-up look. I love the Revlon balm stains and I wouldn’t mind having all of them in my make-up collection:)

Real Techniques base shadow brush: Last month one of my 5 favourites was the Real Techniques deluxe creash brush which I still love, but this month I’ve opened my eyes to how versitile this base shadow brush is. Obviously it’s perfect for a applying your eye shadow base, but it’s also really great for blending, so some days I’ve been doing my eye make-up with pretty much only this brush.

AmazingSpiderMan2Banner

The Amazing Spiderman 2: I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this, but Spiderman is my absolute favourite superhero (I actuallly don’t care about any other superheroes). I love the Spiderman trilogy with Tobey Maguire, so I was a bit sceptical when The Amazing Spiderman with Andrew Garfield as Spidey was out in 2012. I didn’t watch that one in the cinema, but bought the DVD later on, and I loved it, so of course I had to go to the cinema and watch the second one. I went last Saturday with two friends and guess what… I loved it:)

Pretty Little Liars season 1

Pretty Little Liars – season 1: I would usually end this post with I song that I’ve been listening to a lot the past month, but I’ve been listening to a lot of different music this month and found it difficult to pick out just one song, so I thought I would mention a TV series instead. When my mum visited me in February she didn’t only give me season 1 of Girls, she also gave me season 1 of Pretty Little Liars. I started watching it a few days ago and I’m hooked. At first I didn’t thought I would be as hooked as I am, but it’s really thrilling. All the time you’re wondering what’s gonna happen next, and there’s a lot of cliff hangers which make you wanna watch more. And of course there’s A LOT of love drama as well which I like:)

5 favourites – March

I can’t believe that today is the last day of March! March has been a really busy month for me with a lot of uni work, but I also went on two amazing day trips (Cardiff of March 1 and Brighton on March 29), my dad paid me a visit, I hung out with great people and did A LOT of shopping (I still have a bunch of stuff to show you guys). Of course I also had some favourite items this month that I’m going to show you right now:)

Sort nederdel m. leopardmønster - H&M

Black skirt with velvety leopard print from H&M: As I told you in this post I’ve developed a growing love for this skirt which is not a type of skirt that I normally buy. As it turns out, this skirt has so many styling opportunities and I’ve been wearing it quite a lot the past month (e.g. here and here).

Real Techniques deluxe crease brush: If you are looking for affordable good quality make-up brushes I would definitely recommend Real Techniques. I’ve been loving this particular brush this month. It’s soft and fluffy and great for blending, especially in the crease which the name suggests. It does collect a lot of pigment from the eye shadow, so you might have to layer eye shadow if you want a darker look. I’m not a brush expert so this might be common for this type of brush, but this particular one sure is great for blending and I love it:)

Girls season 1

Girls – season 1: My mum gave me this when she was visiting me in February, but I didn’t watch it until the beginning of March. I’d heard about ‘Girls’ before, but didn’t really know what it was about, but I got hooked. It’s kind of a mix of Sex and the City and Bridget Jones’ Diary, but for twenty-something girls. At least I find it very entertaining, and I would love to watch the following seasons as well.

Comforting liquorice 3

Twinings Comforting Liquorice tea: I LOVE tea. Especially fruit tea and liquorice tea. Back in Denmark I always have a couple of boxes of Pickwick’s liquorice tea, so I was really happy to find this liquorice tea from Twinings. It tastes pretty much the same as the Pickwick one, but this one is supposedly comforting as well. I don’t know if that’s a fact, but I sure enjoy drinking this delicious liquorice tea.

Winter Hymns – Charlie Simpson: Over a year ago I linked you to a couple lovely songs by my favourite singer and songwriter Charlie Simpson, and oh my god he has done it again. You know that feeling you get when you listen to a song for the first time and just instantly love it; that’s the feeling I had the first time I listened to ‘Winter Hymns’. It doesn’t happen to me that often (and I listen to a lot of music), but Charlie has given me that feeling a couple of times before which just shows how amazingly talented he is. I can’t wait for him to release his next album.

5 favourites – February

February has come to an end which means that it’s time for my second ‘5 favourites’-post. Time just flies by, don’t you think?

Falsies

Maybelline New York The Falsies Volum’ Express mascara: After watching a ton of Tanya Burr’s videos on YouTube (if you are interested in make-up and don’t already know about her YouTube channel you should definitely go check it out) where she recommends this mascara I’ve been wanting to try it, and it’s amazing! It has become my new favourite mascara, and if you wanna see how it looks on the lashes, I’m wearing it in all my make-up posts from the past month.

Smokey Noir 2

Rimmel London Glam’eyes quad eye shadow (colour: 001 Smokey Noir): Another beauty favourite this month has been this lovely eye shadow palette of grey shades. The thing I love about an eye shadow palette like this one is that you only need this one palette to create a pretty eye make-up look. I’m wearing it here, here, and here.

skattejægerne

Skattejægerne: And now to something completely different, namely a TV show. I obviously didn’t bring a TV with me to England, but I’ve been watching a lot of Danish TV online (at DR1’s – a Danish TV channel – webpage). I’ve been especially fond of a TV show called Skattejægerne (an English translation would be something like Treasure Hunters) which is about some Danish people working with second hand furniture, decorative items, jewellery and so on. We often see them go shopping for items for their stores at flea markets and such, and I find it quite entertaining. I watched a lot of this type of TV shows last Summer as well, where my family and I went to flea markets ourselves.

Skittles: As I mentioned in my January favourites post I love sweets, and Skittles are just great. We don’t have Skittles in Denmark, so I’ll probably miss them when I go back home. My favourites are the Crazy Sours in the green bag.

All We Ever Do Is Say Goodbye – John Mayer: A song I’ve been listening a lot to this month is this lovely song by the amazing John Mayer from his Battle Studies album. I love pretty much everything about John Mayer’s music; his voice, melodies and lyrics. Especially the melody in the chorus of this song I find absolutely beautiful.

5 favourites – January

So I thought: new year – new feature on the blog. I know that showing your favourite items/things of the month isn’t exactly a new phenomenon, but it is kind of new to me (I made this post about a year ago though). These favourites doesn’t necessarily all have to be fashion or beauty related; it can be pretty much anything that I’ve been loving the given month. I’m going to make these posts on the last day of every month, so without further ado, here are my January favourites:

Grå Air Max Command - Nike

Nike Air Max sneakers: I know, you’ve seen quite a lot of these the past month, but being limited to only two pairs of shoes, the other pair being winter boots, I didn’t really have any other choice but to wear these. I have to say though that they are really comfortable and that I in general really like them, so you are going to see a lot more of them in the future.

e.l.f. Eye Manual eyeshadow palette: I’ve been using this eyeshadow palette pretty much everyday since I got it in December. The colours are absolutely beautiful and they match so well together. Love it.

The Vampire Diaries season 2

The Vampire Diaries – season 2: I got the second season of The Vampire Diaries as the first gift on my Christmas gift calendar last month (I got the first season on my gift calendar in 2012), and I decided to bring it to England so I’d had bit of entertainment, at least for a little while. I finished it last Monday I think, and it was great entertainment. I’ve watched season 1 and 2 on TV before, but it was years ago, so I didn’t mind watching it again. I have only watched the first two seasons though, so I’m looking forward to watch the other seasons.

DSC_0887

Chocolate Chip Digestive Biscuits: I probably have the world’s biggest sweet tooth (actually I have a mouth full of sweet teeth), especially when it comes to candy, but this month I’ve been really fond of these chocolate chip Digestive biscuits. I’ve always liked Digestive biscuits, and these chocolate chip ones are the best I’ve tasted so far.

Something Like You – ‘N Sync: I love boybands and I’m not ashamed of it;) I got two ‘N Sync CD’s for Christmas (‘N Sync is my favourite boyband by the way), and I’ve been listening to this cheasy love pop ballad countless times this past month. What I love about ‘N Sync, besides their catchy pop songs (which is pretty much all about love) and lovely boyband dance moves, is their beautiful harmonies. When they all sing together it sounds quite amazing, I think.
