5 favourites – February

The last month of winter has (finally) come to an end. I’m tired of the cold, so I really can’t wait for spring weather to arrive. In February I was quite busy with uni stuff, but I managed to find time to see family and friends. March is going to be a busy month as well, but I kind of like be occupied. Anyways, let’s say goodbye to February by talking about some of my favourite things from the past month.

Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless foundation (shade: 110 Porcelain): I did a first impressions post on this foundation back in october. Back then I wrote that I neither loved nor hated this foundation, but it has definitely grown on me. If you have dry skin, this is probably not the foundation for you, but is you have normal or oily skin, I would definitely recommend you try it out.

Jeffree Star Skin Frost in Ice Cold: Last month my favourite highlighter was the Jeffree Star Skin Frost in Peach Goddess, this month it’s Ice Cold. The Jeffree Star Skin Frost highlighters are amazing, and in contrast to Peach Goddess which is a bit softer but still glowy, Ice Cold is very intense and I love it.

Jeffree Star Velour liquid lipstick in Redrum: I rarely feature lip products in my favourites post, because I wear so many different shades throughout a month. But when I wear a certain lip product once a week for a month (or longer) I have to mention it. You might have noticed by now that I’m obsessed with the Jeffree Star Velour liquid lipsticks and my favourite shade is Redrum which is the perfect classic red.

Casio watch: I had been wearing the same silver watch since I was 12 years old, so I thought it was about time to wish for a new one. I got this Casio watch for Christmas, and it has been a favourite since I got it, but I’ve worn it almost everyday in February, and I just love the nice and simple design.

The Shawshank Redemption (film): Just like in January I’ve watched so many great films this past month, but the one that takes the cake is this 1994 classic. This film has been on my ‘must watch’ list for years, and it was just as great as I’d hoped.

Asos accessories haul pt. 1

dsc_1825dsc_1827dsc_1828

Last month I purchased a bunch of accessories on Asos and these are the jewelleries. I’ll show you the other accessories I purchased which are not jewellery in a separate post. All of these pieces were on sale and I really like the pieces I’ve worn so far. As you can see I bought three very different chokers and I thought they would be perfect for layering with other necklaces. Then I bought two pairs of sterling silver earrings with little knot designs (they came as a set) and I’ve worn both pairs a lot already. If you have several piercings in each ear (I don’t) I’m sure these two pairs of earrings would look really cute together.

Casio watch

I had worn the same watch almost every day for the past 11 years so I thought it was about time to get a new one. I really like a lot of the Casio watches, and I was lucky enough to get one for Christmas. I love this style (LA680WEA-7EF) which is very simple and a great size; not too big and not too small.

Party look

It’s the party season and thought I needed some new party clothes. The top, skirt, and heels are all from H&M and the velvet chokers are from a brand called Krystal London (I got them from Asos). I thought the silver top was very festive and it’s affordable too which is always nice when it’s something you won’t wear that often. I’ve been wanting a long, pleated skirt for a long time, and when I found this one on sale on H&M webshop I just had to get it. When I ordered the top and the skirt I had also put the beautiful silver glitter heels in my basket, but they were sold out when I was going to check out, but luckily the were back in stock about a week or so later. I’ve been wanting to try out the choker trend for a while and when I found these two velvet ones on sale on Asos I thought it was time to give a try. I’ve worn both of them once each so far, and I quite like them. My plan is actually to wear all of these items (though only one of the chokers) on New Year’s Eve, but we’ll see.

5 favourites – October

October has come to an end and it was quite a crazy month for me, but in a good way. I went to Munich for a choir competition which was amazing, had two exam, and then I just started my new courses at uni yesterday. I’m looking forward to November, but really I just can’t wait for it to become December:) Anyways, here’s some things I loved in October.

DSC_7650

Max Factor Facefinity All Day primer: I did a comparison of this primer to the Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro primer, and I had a hard time picking a favourite between the two, but I’ve been using this one the most this month, and I think it’s a great primer.

DSC_7825

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Cottage Cheese: I bought this product to use as an inner corner highlighter and I love it! It’s so easy to use and really brightening.

Sorte ørestikker fra Berlin

Silver earrings with black stones: I rediscovered another pair of earrings this month. I bought these in Berlin in 2008, and I wore them all the time when I just bought them, but then one of the locks came loose, and I didn’t wanted to risk losing the earring. Finally I decided to just change the lock, and I’ve worn them a ton this month.

Spicy Chai te

Pickwick Spicy Chai tea: I love tea and I love a lot of different flavours, and in the beginning of the month I decided to try this Spicy Chai one. It has ginger in it which is great if you have a cold and I have a cold pretty much all the time. It also has cinnamon and black pepper in it and I really like it.

Let the Peoples Sing (choir competition): One of my absolute favourite things of the month was the choir competition I went to in Munich (and my Munich trip in general). It was just an amazing experience. You can read a bit more about it here.

5 favourites – September

September will be gone by tomorrow, and I can’t believe that the first month of autumn is already gone. I’ve been busy with uni the past month and it’ll continue in October; I have exams in a couple of weeks. I’m also going on an exciting trip in about a week and a half, but more about that later. And now let’s talk about some of my favourite things from September.

DSC_7552

Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit (light to medium): I wrote here that I loved the three shades I’d tried at that point, and since then I’ve tried the other shades as well, and they’re just as good. This contour kit is really nice, and I’ve used it every day since I received it.

DSC_7351

MAC eye shadow in Satin Taupe: I’d been craving this eye shadow for over a year I think, when I got it for my birthday in August, and I’ve worn it countless times since. It’s so beautiful, and I love how it can be worn both in a very subtle way and in a more intense way.

Sølvøreringe m. hjerter

Silver earrings with hearts: I love rediscovering clothes, or make-up, or in this case jewellery. I got these earrings for my 12th birthday, right after I got my ears pierced, but I’ve never worn them much until this month. I’ve probably worn them 3-4 times a week the past month, and I love how simple and cute they are.

Inside-Out

Inside Out (film): As I’ve mentioned before, I absolutely love Disney films, and I’d heard so many good things about this new Pixar one. I went to see it with a friend of mine in the beginning of September, and it was so good! One of the best Pixar films in my opinion.

Black Magic – Little Mix: I’ve never listened to any other Little Mix songs, and I don’t really listen to new pop music in general, but this song is just so damn catchy. Maybe it’s because it has kind of an 80’s vibe to it?:)

Sandals and necklaces

These are the none-make-up items I bought in Copenhagen last month. The sandals are from Zara and I think they’re really cute. The were on sale, and I don’t have anything like them, so I bought them:) I found the necklaces really cheap on sale at H&M, and I’ve already worn them several times. I’m actually wearing them in my next outfit post, and I really like them.

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.
