I wore my hair like this about five weeks ago, and I thought it was quite cute, so I wanted to share it with you. The outfit and make-up I wore with this hair will be up on the blog next.

Pearls and a stegosaurus
Here’s the hair and make-up I wore with this outfit. I was really happy with this look. I’m wearing the beautiful earrings my sister made for me for Christmas last year, and of course my beloved stegosaurus necklace.
(Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eye shadows – Stila In the Light eye shadow palette (shades: Bare + Bliss + Ebony + Kitten) + MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Lightscapade on browbone, mascara – Maybelline The Falsies Volum’ Express, eyeliner – MUA Intense Colour eyeliner in Snow White. Lips: Maybelline Colorsensational lipstick in 162 Feel Pink + MAC Oxblood lipglass)
5 favourites – May
May has come to an end, and the first month of summer starts tomorrow, also known as the month of exams (at least in my case) or simply June. Even though I’m not looking forward to my exams, I’m at least going to study in some nice and improved surroundings. I didn’t move, but it feels a bit like it; I got a new kitchen this week, moved some stuff around and I’m getting rid of some stuff that made my place look and feel crouded. I even got myself a little vanity type space. Anyhow, before we jump into June, here’s some of my favourite things from the month of May.
MAC lipstick in Steam Heat: I almost didn’t buy this lipstick, because I’m trying to save some money for my summer holiday, but I couldn’t resist the pretty packaging. Luckily, not only the packaging is pretty, so is the actual lipstick. It’s such a gorgeous red shade, and I’ve been wearing it a lot this past month.
Tangle Teezer: My hair brush broke a while back, so my mum told me to get a Tangle Teezer. I’d obviously heard about them before and that they’re supposed to be really good, so I tried my mum’s, and I’ve never brushed out my hair so easily before. If you have difficulties brushing out your hair, and you don’t already own one of these, go get one!
Stegosaurus necklace: This is actual not only a monthly favourite; this is my absolute favourite necklace. My mum bought the pendant for me at the American Museum of Natural History in New York in October 2013, and then I went and bought a necklace for it. This has been one of my most worn necklaces ever since I got it, and this past month I haven’t worn many other necklaces.
Pride and Prejudice (TV mini-series): When I was ill earlier this month I watched the whole Pride and Prejudice BBC mini-series in one day. It wasn’t my first time watching it, and even though I find some of the scenes a bit lengthy, I still enjoyed it a lot. I just think it’s a lovely story. Btw, I definitely prefer this mini-series over the film with Keira Knightly as Elizabeth Bennet.
Heroes – Måns Zelmerlöw: First of all, I have to mention that I’m a huge Eurovision Song Contest fan, and even though Denmark didn’t make it through to the finals this year, I still enjoyed watching both semi-finals and of course the big final. Second of all, I know people are saying that the Scandinavian countries are always voting for each other, but this year Sweden just had the best song, so I had to vote for them:) Måns Zelmerlöw performed this amazing song to perfection, and if you haven’t watched his performance already, you can watch right here.
Braided instead of twisted
I tried out this new braided hairstyle about a month ago and I love it. It’s very similar to this hairstyle that I love to do, it’s just braided instead of twisted. It’s a really easy hairstyle to do, and if you don’t know how to French braid, you can always go with the twisted version.
Double French
I’ve been wanting to try out this hairstyle for quite a long time, and I finally did it a couple of weeks back. It could obviously have been neater, but hey, it was my first try, and definitely not my last.
5 favourites – January
I can’t believe that the first month of 2015 is over by tomorrow. It was a tough month with exams, and this week uni started again, but it was a good month as well. I just occured to me that I’ve been doing these 5 favourites posts for a whole year now, and I’m definitely going to continue doing them. So without further ado, here’s my first favourites of 2015.
Maybelline Color Tattoo Gel-Cream Eyeshadow (colour: 35-On and on Bronze): I’m so glad that this Color Tattoo finally came to Denmark, because it’s gorgeous. It looks beautiful on its own, but it’s also a perfect base for bronze/gold/brown eye shadow looks.
The Body Shop Honey Bronzer (colour: 02 Fair Matte): This bronzer is the perfect matte bronzer for fair skin. Especially for everyday use where you might not want a too heavily bronzed face. I would definitely recommend this stunning product.
Pernille Corydon gold leaf earrings: I’ve been wearing a lot of gold jewellery this month (to match my go-to eye make-up) and these earrings that I got for Christmas has been my favourites. I love how simple and pretty they are, and I’ve worn them so much.
Turbie Twist: I didn’t learn about the existence of the Turbie Twist until last Autumn, but I was definitely intrigued. Luckily, I got a two-pack on my gift advent calendar, and I think they’re genius. If any of you haven’t heard of the Turbie Twist, it’s a super-absorbent hair towel. I find it very lightweight and perfect if you don’t have a lot of time to wait for your hair to dry.
Kongens Have – TopGunn: I have a very different favourite song this month. I don’t listen to a lot of Danish music and especially not hip hop and dancehall. The reason I got to listen to this particular song was because the Danish rapper and producer Topgunn was to be one of the judges on Denmark’s Got Talent. I knew him by name, but I wasn’t very familiar with his music, so I went on to Youtube and listened to a bunch of his songs, and the only one that caught my attention (and which I did recognise) was Kongens Have. I find it quite different from his other songs which I’m not very fond of, but there’s something about this one that made me listen to it over and over again this past month. I think it’s the melody and I like the use of e.g. brass instruments.
5 favourites – July
July has now come to an end, and it’s been a month of ups and downs. Even though it’s been a sad month in some way, I’ve had some good times as well. Here’s 5 favourites from the month of July.
MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly: I’m so glad I bought this paint pot. It’s the perfect base for any eye make-up look, but especially neutral ones. I’ve been wearing it non stop the past month.
e.l.f. Wet Gloss Lash & Brow Clear Mascara: As I mentioned here, I’d been looking for a clear brow gel and finally decided to get this one from e.l.f; and I’m glad I did. It keeps my eyebrows in place all day long and it’s so affordable.
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain (colour: 020 Lovesick): It’s not the first one of these bad boys you’ve seen in a favourites post (actually it’s the third), but I just love them. This hot pink one is my most worn lip product this month, so I had to feature it in this post.
Braided ponytail (hairstyle): This is the first hairstyle I’ve featured in a favourites post, but due to the warm weather this has been my go-to hairstyle. A braided ponytail is such a nice way of keeping your hair away from your face.
What Would Audrey Do? – Pamela Keogh: I usually don’t read much (I usually only read for my studies), but in the beginning of July I read this lovely book about one of my favourite actresses. If you’re a big fan of Miss Hepburn (like I am) I’m sure you’ll enjoy this book about every aspect of her life. I’m sure she can teach you a thing or two:)
5 favourites – May
Where did May go? I really can’t believe that May is already gone and that the first month of summer starts tomorrow. May was such a great month. Probably the best month of 2014 so far. I got to see Scouting for Girls live at a big party with two lovely ladies, I handed in my last assignment for this semester, I went home to Denmark to be a part of my youngest sister’s confirmation which was such a lovely day (outfit will be on the blog soon), I went to the McBusted concert in Nottingham and went on several other day trips around England, so I would say that May did me good. My stay here in England is soon coming to an end, and I’ll make a post about my stay here when I’m back in Denmark, but for now I’ll share with you 5 favourites from the month of May:)
Batiste Dry Shampoo Fresh Cool & Crisp: I usually don’t get very excited about hair products, but I do love dry shampoo and I’d been wanting to try out one of the Batiste ones for a while. As I wrote here, I wanted one with a fresh scent. I can’t describe what this one smells like, but it sure is a fresh scent and I think it works incredibly well too, so I’m a fan:)
Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear concealer (shade: Fair 1): This is actually not particularly a May favourite; it’s been an absolute favourite since I bought the first one (the bottom one in the picture) in March, but I thought I would mention it now since I bought a stock of this concealer. I love that it comes in a very fair shade, because it can be difficult to find a good concealer colour wise when you have rather fair skin. Other than that it just does the job of covering spots/blemishes and under eye darkness as well. As you can see the text wears off really quickly, but if that doesn’t bother you I would definitely recommend this concealer.
Revlon Colorburst Balm Stain (colour: 045 Romantic): I’ve been really into wearing red lips the past month or so, and this balm stain from Revlon has been my favourite shade (I’m wearing it here and here). And then let me just mention again how much I love these balm stains. If you’re a girl who loves lip products and you haven’t tried these, you’re missing out on something great. Just saying:)
Good Mythical Morning (Youtube channel): I watch a lot (emphasis on lot) of Youtube videos daily, and Good Mythical Morning has become a part of my daily routine:) I’d heard about Rhett and Link before and their main channel on Youtube, but it wasn’t until a stumbled upon GMM that I found out how hilarious these guys are. I’m still not convinced by their main channel, but I’m loving GMM and it definitely makes a great start to my day:)
McBusted concert: This probably doesn’t come as a surprise, but the McBusted concert I went to on May 20 was the highlight of my month! It was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me and it fulfilled all of my expectations and even more than that. It was a night that I’ll remember for the rest of my life:)
