5 favourites – May

May has been another month of ups and down, but I’m beginning to experience more good days than bad. They weather has been very nice the past couple of weeks, and that has definitely been a mood booster. I’m hoping for more sunny weather in the months to come. Let’s talk about some favourites from the last month of spring, before we head into June.

Long pearl necklace: I’ve had this long pearl necklace for about 15 years or so. It used to belong to my late grandmother (I got it before she past away though), so it means a lot to me, and I’ve worn it throughout all of those years. However, it’s been one of my stable pieces of jewellery in May, especially in the beginning of the month.

Colourpop BFF crème gel liners: I love these eyeliners from Colourpop. I’ve got so many of them; the ones in the picture are just the ones I’ve worn this past month. They’re really pigmented and they stay for long time in the waterline.

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 62 perfume mist: I only just recently jumped on the Sol de Janeiro perfume mist band wagon, but now that I’m on the wagon I’m not planning on getting off any time soon. I love a lot of the scents, but my favourite this month has to be number 62. I just got a sample size of this one, but I might repurchase a bigger size in the future.

MAC Gentle Off eye and lip makeup remover: I received this makeup remover as a free gift with purchase with a MAC order once, but I just started using it this past month. I really like it, it is gentle as the name suggests, and I’ve almost used it up.

Rosendahl Mother’s Day Heart 2024 ornament: We have never really celebrated Mother’s Day or Father’s Day in my family, but my daughter gave me this Mother’s Day heart ornament this year (she got some help purchasing it from her grandmother), which was very unexpected and therefore even more special.

Collective haul – mainly beauty (January 2024)

I have a collective haul from January to share with you today. Everything is beauty products apart from one pair of earrings.

This is the Danessa Myricks Beauty Lightwork V I Am palette. It’s the first of the Danessa Myricks Beauty Lightwork palettes that I’ve purchased, because they’re really expensive, but this one just looks so beautiful, and I got it on sale. I actually haven’t used it yet, but I’m planning on doing so on Saturday, when I’m attending a wedding.

Here’s the rest of the products I purchased at the same time as the Danessa Myricks Beauty palette. I picked up the e.l.f. Cosmetics Glow Reviver lip oil in Rose Envy, the e.l.f. Cosmetics Camo liquid blush in Comin’ In Hot Pink, and the Nimya by NikkieTutorials Cheeky Flush cream blush in Hey Carl!. Both blushes are super pigmented.

These are the first Buxom products I’ve ever bought. I found them on sale and thought I would give the brand a try.

This is the Xtrovert eye palette. I has a pretty unique colour story, and the quality was actually quite good.

This is the White Russian collection Wanderlust Glow highlighter. I’ve worn it once so far, and to be honest, I don’t remember how I felt about.

And lastly from Buxom, I got two of the Full Force Plumping lipsticks. They’re in the shades Badass and Dreamboat. I haven’t worn these yet, so I don’t know how plumping they are.

I picked up this Clarins Joli Rouge lip lacquer in 761 Spicy Chili at the same time as the Buxom products. The colour looks so pretty, and I like the packaging too.

I usually purchase a lot of the limited edition collections from Essence, but I’m trying to get better at not buying pretty much the whole collection, and instead only picking up the products I’m really interested in. So from the Love, Luck & Dragons collection I got the two lipsticks in 01 Energy Level: Dragon-like and 02 Dragons Dream in Red, and I also got the lip & cheek tint in 01 Wild, But Cute, But Wild. I only bought one product from the Chilly Vanilly collection and it’s the face & body highlighter stick in 01 Glow With The Flow!.

These are the last beauty products in the haul. I bought a back-up of the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze and a Burt’s Bees mini Orange Blossom & Pistachio hand cream. I’ve been using the hand cream lately, and it feels nice on the hands, but I think the scent is maybe a little too strong.

I love Maanesten jewellery, and I picked up the Nubia color earrings on sale. They’re just the prettiest little hoops.

Collective clothing + accessories haul (December 2023)

I have a collective clothing and accessories haul to share with you today. I either bought or received these items as presents back in December.

You have already seen me wear this denim maxi dress from Monki. I’ve had my eye on it for a while, and when Monki had a sale, I decided to finally get it.

I also got this dress in the Monki sale. I’ll be posting a look with this dress soon-ish.

I’ve already worn this jumper several times, and it’s just so comfy. I’m wearing it here.

I love a fitted roll neck top, and purple and red are two of my favourite colours, so I had to have this top from Monki. I wore it underneath the denim maxi dress.

The last item(s) I bought in the Monki sale was a 5 pack of Christmas socks for next Christmas season.

This denim skirt from H&M has quickly become a favourite. I’m wearing it here and here.

I featured this Stine Goya Lotta bag in my January 5 favourites post, and it’s the perfect everyday bag. It was a Christmas present from my parents.

This lilac Silfen Ulrikke bag was also a Christmas present, and I really like Silfen bags.

Lastly, I got some jewellery for Christmas. The hoops are from Pandora, and I’ve been wearing them with some Disney pendants. The Nightmare Before Christmas Pandora charm was a Christmas present from my boyfriend; we love The Nightmare Before Christmas and watch it every year on Halloween. Then I also got two Trollbeads glass beads and a ring from Maanesten called Brook. I’ve worn the ring every day since I got it.

Collective haul (October 2023)

I have a large collective haul to share with you today. It consists of shoes, clothes, accessories, and make-up.

I featured these Crocs Classic Crush boots in my December favourites post, and I’ve continued to wear them a lot. I bought them on sale on the H&M app.

I love a boot with a chunky heel and a platform, and these pink suede ones from Asos Design are really nice.

This red checkered suit from Asos Design came in very handy during the holiday season. I wore it here and here.

This red bow hair clip from H&M was a stable Christmas accessory for me, and I still love it and will continue to wear it.

This silver ring is called the Drippy V-Ring from Danish jewellery designer Jane Kønig. I wear it pretty much every day.

In my last haul, I featured the other shade of the Catrice METAFACE nail lacquers, but I wanted this lighter shade as well called C02 Cyber Beauty.

I was curious to try the new Clarins Joli Rouge lipsticks, so I picked up the satin lipstick in 742 Joli Rouge and the velvet matte lipstick in 754V Deep Red. Both are very pretty red shades, and the packaging is stunning.

I also got some stuff from Fenty Beauty. I purchased another shade of the Cheeks Out Freestyle cream blushes (shade: Pinky Promise 13), the limited edition Gloss Bomb Crystal Holographic lip luminizer in Holla’Gram, and the Eaze Drop Blur + Smooth skin tint stick in shade 02.

I picked up one more product from Fenty Beauty from another website, and it’s the Fenty Icon Semi Matte refillable lipstick set which was a limited edition holiday release. The lipstick shade is called Sorta Single. I also purchased two products from Rare Beauty; another Kind Words matte lip liner (shade: Strong) and another Soft Pinch tinted lip oil (shade: Affection).

From MAC I got one of the new at the time Locked Kiss 24hr lipsticks, and I picked a beautiful warm tomato red called Gutsy. I received the Made To Wow Brow Kit Auburn as a free gift with purchase. The kit includes a Brow Set Clear and a Brows Styler in Penny, which is not my shade.

You know I love Natasha Denona eyeshadows, and I was very excited to see a blue palette from the brand. This is the Mini Triochrome, and I think it’s very pretty. I’m wearing it here.

I’ve got two more palettes to share with you, and I’m really excited about both. First, I had to have the Blend Bunny Cosmetics Sickly Sweet palette, and I have to say that it’s pretty much the perfect pastel palette. I used it to create this eye look.

The other indie palette that I also had to have was the Cosmic Brushes/Beauty Gothic palette. I wore this on New Year’s Eve, and it was beautiful.

The very last thing in this haul is the Sigma Dry’n Shape Tower Face & Eyes, which is described as a stackable brush care station, so a tower to hold your brushes after you’ve cleaned them. I’ve used it once, and it worked pretty well.

5 favourites – February

February was another tough month for me, so once again I won’t write a whole ton in this 5 favourites post. However, as always, I did find 5 favourites this past month that I’ll share with you, so here goes.

NYX Pro Fix Stick correcting concealers: I don’t remember the last time I tried a stick concealer, but I’m very impressed with these ones from NYX. I got two correctors (pink and green) and a concealer shade that matches my skin, and I like all three of them. They’re creamy and easy to blend, and they have nice coverage.

Sigma Beauty Eyeshadow Base Primer (shade: Ignite): I’m pretty sure, I haven’t featured this particular shade of Sigma Beauty Eyeshadow Base Primer in a 5 favourites post before, so I thought it was about time, since it’s one of my favourite eyeshadow primers.

Essence I Love Extreme crazy volume mascara: It took me a long time to try this mascara, because for some reason I didn’t think I would like it, but it turns out that I do. It gives you lashes a lot of volume, so the name of it makes sense.

Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara (shade: Pink Air): I don’t think I’ve ever featured two mascaras the same month, but this one is very different from the Essence one. And I have featured this mascara formula in a 5 favourites before, but not this shade. Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara is one of my top favourite mascaras, and I love that it now comes in more shades, such as this beautiful pink.

Pandora hoop earrings (w. Disney pendants): I love my Pandora x Disney jewellery, and I got these hoop earrings for Christmas to wear with Disney pendants. For now I’ve been wearing them with these Mickey and Minnie pendants, but who knows, I might change it up in the future.

Collective haul (September 2023)

I have a collective haul to share with you today. It mostly consists of make-up, but there’s also one clothing item and one piece of jewellery in the mix.

I love a good roll neck top and this one from Monki is just so cute and a perfect layering piece.

This “bolo tie” necklace is from Reclaimed Vintage. I got it 20% off from Asos, and I thought it was cute.

Let’s move on to make-up, and let’s begin with this little mix of products. I picked up a lighter shade in the Nars Light Reflecting foundation. It’s in the shade Oslo, and it might actually be a little light on me, so when I wear this foundation I mix it with the other shade I own, Mont Blanc. The other foundation I purchased is the KVD Beauty Good Apple Skin-Perfecting foundation balm in Light 006. I’ve been wanting to try this foundation ever since it launched, and this shade Light 006 is a great match. I really enjoy this foundation. I think I might have had the Catrice True Skin High Cover concealer in my collection before, but decided to try it out again. I got the shade 002 Neutral Ivory, and I think I like it. I mainly picked up the Lottie London Bubble Tea primer for the gimic. And I know I like the Huda Beauty Cheeky Tint blush sticks, so I got another shade. It’s called Rebel Red, and it looks very pretty.

I don’t wear a lot of neutral eyeshadows, but I love the Natasha Denona eyeshadow formulas, so I caved and bought the I Need A Nude palette. For a neutral palette this is very pretty. I’m wearing it here.

Last, but most certainly not least, I obviously had to have the Oden’s Eye x Angelica Helaween collab palettes. I love Oden’s Eye eyeshadows and Angelica Nyqvist is one of my favourite content creators, and she’s all about colourful eyeshadow, so these palettes are right up my street. The first palette is called Little Ghost and the second one is called Trick Or Treat. I’m wearing Little Ghost on it’s own here and both palettes in combination with each other here.

Collective haul (August 2023)

I have my collective haul from August to share with you today. This haul mainly consists of make-up products.

Let’s begin with the two items that are not make-up. First off, I picked up these dark green cargo trousers from H&M in a sale. I’ve worn them a lot; especially throughout December.

I got this beautiful Guess watch for my 30th birthday in August. I’ve worn it most days since.

Here’s a little mix of products I picked up from the Danish drugstore, Matas. I got a 20% discount as a birthday present, so I decided to buy the bareMinerals Gen Nude Blonzer in Kiss of Mauve, the bareMinerals Gen Nude highlighting blush in Rose Glow, and the Fenty Beauty Match Stix contour skinstick in Soft Amber. These are all very nice products.

I purchased the Clinique Even Better All Over concealer + eraser in WN 01 Flax and the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze applicator in a sale.

The last products in this haul are indie products purchased from Monolith. I’ve been wanting to try the Ace Beauté Paletteopoly palette and game ever since it launched, so I was so excited to get my hands on it. I actually played the game and did my make-up based on it just last week. It’s a really fun concept. The palette is stunning whether you play the game or not though.

I also picked up the Unearthly Cosmetics Summer 23 larger mystery box. It includes an eyeshadow palette, a highlighter duo, a satin liquid lipstick, and two lipglosses. The packaging is so cute.

This is the Get Groovy palette, and what a fun colour story. I love a colourful eyeshadow palette, and the Unearthly Cosmetics eyeshadow formulas are great. I’m wearing the eyeshadow palette, the highlighter duo, and one of the lipglosses here.

The Get Groovy highlighter duo is more of a highlighter/blush duo on my fair skin. These shades are super sparkly and fun.

The liquid lipstick is called Gnarly, and it’s a beautiful burnt orange shade. I’m wearing it here. The orange lipgloss is called Psych and the purple lipgloss is called Spaz. Both shades are super pretty and shimmery.

Collective haul (July 2023)

I have a collective haul to share with you today. I purchased these items back in July (I know I’m way behind on hauls), and most of the items are make-up products, but there are also a few clothing pieces and some jewellery.

I really enjoy the Lethal Cosmetics eyeshadows, so when they launched their Pure Metals and Multichromes I purchased all 12 in a bundle which also included an empty 12-pan palette. I haven’t tried them all yet, but the ones I have tried are absolutely stunning. I’m wearing a couple of the Pure Metals shades here.

GlossGods Cosmetics has an incredible shimmer shadow formula and their multichromes are breathtakingly beautiful, so I had to pick up the Lavender Skies remixed palette and the The Color of Rain palette.

This is what the Lavender Skies remixed palette looks like, and I think the colour story is so pretty. I’m wearing the palette on my eyes here.

Here’s the inside of the The Color of Rain palette. I wore three shades from this palette on my eyes today, and they were gorgeous!

I picked up this little selection of products from Asos. I got the e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Poreless Putty primer, the e.l.f. Cosmetics Luminous Putty bronzer in the shade Vacay Mood, the e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow Beauty Wand blush in Rosé You Slay, the Revolution Pro Goddess Glow cream highlighter in Alight, and the Benefit Treasure Island butter balm in Island Poppy. The stand out product here is definitely the e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Poreless Putty primer, but I also love the e.l.f. Cosmetics Luminous Putty bronzer. I’ve already decluttered the Revolution Pro Goddess Glow cream highlighter, mainly because the shade wasn’t great on me, and I’ll probably declutter the Benefit Treasure Island butter balm soon as well; it feels really gritty in the lips.

These are the two pieces of clothing I picked up. I found the lime green blazer from the brand Crás on sale, and I think it’s a stunning blazer, and the quality seems really good. I also bought a simple pair of light blue jeans from H&M, because they’re nice to have in your wardrobe.

Lastly, I purchased two pairs of earrings and two rings. The purple hoops are from Pieces and the silver “croissant” earrings are from a brand called By Jolima. The silver ring is from Maanesten, and the gold and pink ring is from a brand called Design Letters. I got all of these pieces on sale.

5 favourites – September

I pretty much started September with being ill, and I’m ending it with being ill. And I’m almost never ill. I’m hoping for a healthier October. I’m generally really excited for October. It’s my daughter’s birthday month (I can’t believe that she’s almost one year old), and we have an autumn break/holiday coming up as well. So let’s put this September behind us, and talk about some favourites from the month.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Power Grip primer: If you want your make-up to last all day, this is the primer for you. I’ve had this primer for quite a while, but I’ve been using is more lately. It’s perfect for long work days.

Makeup By Mario SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer (shade: Light): I’d been wanting to try this product for so long, so when Makeup By Mario launched at Sephora Scandinavia I ordered it right away. It blends like a dream and looks beautiful on the skin.

Ole Henriksen Strengh Trainer Peptide Boost moisturizer: I’d heard great things about this moisturiser, so I was really excited to try it, and so far I love it. The texture of the product is quite unique, but I really like how it blends into the skin.

Maanesten Apsara bracelet: I got this bracelet as a present from my mum on Christmas Eve last year. I loved it right away, and I’ve worn it a lot, but especially recently it’s been one of my go-to bracelets. It’s just so pretty and versatile.

Elemental (film): I didn’t expect much from the newest Pixar film, but I was very pleasantly surprised by how sweet and emotional it was. The story and characters were cute, and I teared up several times.

Asos haul – mainly sale (April 2023)

I have an Asos haul to share with you today. I bought most of the things on sale, and there’s a bit of everything; clothes, shoes, accessories and make-up/beauty.

How fun are these jeans! They’re from a brand called Bailey Rose, and I just love the print and colours.

I’ve already posted a look with this dress from COLLUSION. It’s very cute.

These are some pretty high platform heels, and I don’t wear heels this high very often anymore, but these were just too pretty to pass on. They’re from Topshop btw.

This is the kind of heel I wear most often these days. These summery mules are from Monki.

When I saw these Crocs, I just knew I had to have them. I love the retro floral print, and the cute Jibbitz that came with the shoes.

From Crocs I also picked up these colourful flower Jibbitz which are decorating my pink Mega Crush sandals.

I love dinosaurs and thought these rings were cute. They’re a bit small though.

I wear headbands all the time, and both of these have been favourites ever since I got them. The purple one is from Y.A.S, and the white one is from True Decadence.

These hair clips are from DesignB, and I bought them to use, when I’m doing my make-up, but they’re not that great. I’ll just stick to my Minnie Mouse headband.

Let’s move on to make-up. I picked up two foundations from MAC; the Strobe Dewy Skin Tint in Light 1, and the Studio Fix Every-Wear All-Over face pen in NC13. None of these are my perfect foundation, but I haven’t used them that much, so maybe I’ll change my mind?

These three Charlotte Tilbury products I love. The Airbrush Brightening Flawless Finish powder in Fair/Medium is a great undereye powder, and the Hollywood Contour Wand in Fair/Medium and the Matte Beauty Blush Wand Pillow Talk in Dream Pop are just great cream cheek products.

I purchased quite a few things from Revolution. I got the Conceal & Define full coverage foundation in F0 to mixed in with other foundations, the IRL Filter Finish soft matte concealer in C2, the Healthy Glow Sculptor cream blush and bronzer in Forgive and Forget Pink from the XXRevolution line, two Lustre Wand shadow sticks in Euphoric Lilac and Sinful Green, and the Ceramide Lip Swirl lip gloss in Cherry Mauve.

From e.l.f. Cosmetics I picked up two more of the No Budge matte shadow sticks, which are some of my favourite shadow sticks. These are in the shades Groovy and Stellar. I also bought another shade of the Luminous Putty blushes. The shade is called St. Barts. And from Rimmel I wanted to try out the Wonder’ Cloud all-day wear soft shadow, and I picked the shade 01 Honey Drop.

Lastly, I got a back-up of my favourite moisturiser from Wishful, which is the Honey Whip Peptide one. I’ve also been wanting to try the Huda Beauty Cheeky Tint blush sticks for quite a while, so I bought the shade Proud Pink, which is super pretty.
