‘One-colour’ eye make-up

DSC_8422DSC_8414

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Lately, I’ve been a huge fan of ‘one-colour’ eye make-up looks, partly because it’s quick and easy, but also because it’s an easy way of using colour. I had a hard time blending this green eyeshadow, but then I just decided that this slightly less blended look was kind of fun too.

5 favourites – August

It’s the last official day of summer today (at least calendar wise), and I have to admit that I’m really looking forward to more autumnal weather. I just find it a lot easier and more fun to get dressed for autumn, because you can layer up and work with different textures. However, when that’s said I’ve enjoyed the summer, and we’ve had incredible weather in Denmark this past week. So let’s wrap up this summer with some August favourites.

Lyseblå jeans m. vidde og Garfield print - H&M

Garfield print cropped jeans: I’ve been obsessed with these jeans ever since I bought them; they’re just the perfect pair of summer jeans. I love the fit and the cute Garfield print.

Sorte mules m. blok hæl - VRS

Black mule sandals: I bought these sandals last summer, and I did wear them then, but I’ve gotten even more use out of them this summer; especially in August. They’re really comfortable and they go with everything.

L.A. Girl Shockwave Neon eyeliners: I love wearing a bright eyeliner in my waterline, and these ones are super affordable and so good! They’re pigmented and they last all day.

e.l.f. Brow Pencil (shade: Neutral Brown): I finally decided to try to spend a bit more time on my brows, so I thought I would give a brow pencil a go, and since I love the e.l.f. clear brow gel so much, I decided to try out this e.l.f. brow pencil. As it turns out, I really like this. It’s really easy to use, and I think my brows have looked really good lately.

djangounchained

Django Unchained (film): I’ve been wanting to watch Django Unchained for years, but I have to be in the mood to watch a Tarantino film. It was exactly what I was a few weeks back, and I was surprised by how much I liked this film. But then again with great performances by Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, and Leonardo DiCaprio, what’s not to like.

Not pink enough

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. As if my outfit wasn’t pink enough, I also decided to wear pink on both eyes and lips (and cheeks).

Feelunique haul

I’ve made one or two orders from Feelunique before, but I needed a back-up of my Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray, so I thought I would pick up a few other things as well.

Besides the UD setting spray, I also purchased another setting spray; the Maybelline Lasting Fix setting spray. I haven’t tried it before, and I’m planning on doing a first impressions post on it. From L’Oréal I bought two back-ups of the Infaillible More Than Concealer concealer. It’s definitely become one of my favourite concealers. I also decided to give the Infaillible Shaping Stick foundation a try. I’ll definitely do a first impressions post on that. Lastly, I purchased my first ever product from Lime Crime. I fell in love with the pumpkin orange colour of this lipstick, and it’s called October which is a very fitting name.

Rare bronze
