That glow

DSC_9360rediDSC_9364redi

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love how fresh and glowy this make-up look is. I’d been wanting to wear this bright orange peach lip for a while, and I thought it was perfect with this light summery outfit.

In between pink and red

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I think this lipstick is the perfect match for the T-shirt which has pink going into red, and this lipstick shade is kind of in between a pink and a red.

First impressions: MAC Prep + Prime Fix +

DSC_9499

About a month ago I did a first impressions post on the L’Oréal Nude Magique Cushion foundation and I thought I would make another one. This is not a new product, but it’s new to me. I’ve been wanting to try out MAC Prep + Prime Fix + (also known as just Fix +) for a really long time. I purchased it a little while ago, but I wrote down my initial thoughts. It’s a finishing spray and not a setting spray, so you shouldn’t expect it to make your make-up last longer. It does finishes off your make-up very nicely and makes your make-up look less powdery or cakey. It brings some moisture back to your skin and it feels and smells really good as well. So as a finishing spray it works very well. It’s also an amazing product if you want to intensify your shimmery eye shadows. Just spray a bit of the product onto your eye shadow brush, dip it in the eye shadow and apply it to you eyelids. I’ve been especially loving to use it to intensify my inner corner highlight. All in all, I love this product, and I think it’s a common opinion among beauty lovers.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love the ColorSensational lipsticks by Maybelline and this deep red one is so beautiful.

Even more NYX lippies

DSC_9603

After trying the NYX soft matte lip creams and the NYX Liquid Suedes, I knew that I wanted more colours because both liquid lipstick lines are really good. I recently bought three more soft matte lip creams and two more Liquid Suedes.

DSC_9596

The soft matte lip cream shades I picked up are Stockholm (nude), Prague (deep magenta), and Copenhagen (deep red plum). The only shade I haven’t worn yet is Copenhagen, but I’m sure I’m going to love it just as much as I love Stockholm and Prague (and the other shades I own).

DSC_9599

The two shades of the Liquid Suedes I picked up are Soft-Spoken (rosy-brown nude) and Vintage (brown plum). These shades are quite unique in my collection, and they are so beautiful. If you have any recommendations for other shades of both lip products, I would love to know.

Doo-Wop

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love a bright pink lip, and I think the shimmery, slight bronze eye make-up really makes the lip pop.

Walk on the wild side

DSC_9393DSC_9395DSC_9398

A couple of weeks ago I found this NARS Andy Warhol Walk On The Wild Side set at a local drugstore and I had to get it. I did a little research and apparently it was a part of the NARS x Andy Warhol Holiday Collection from 2012. It contains an illuminator in Silver Factory, a Larger Than Life lipgloss in Orgasm and nail polish in It. The liquid illuminator is actually silver, but it’s not too silver in my opinion and I quite like it. I’ve worn the lipgloss once on top of a nude lipstick, and it looked really pretty. I haven’t worn the nail polish yet, because my nails are crap at the moment, but I’ll post a picture when I once try it on.

Burnt rust

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I went with a warm neutral eye and a rust red/burnt red lip, I think it matched the outfit very well.

5 favourites – May

The last month of spring has come to an end and by tomorrow it’ll be officially summer. Luckily, the Danish weather is amazing and very summery at the moment; too bad I have to be indoors most of the time to study for my exams. Anyways, I had quite a few favourites this month, but I managed to pick out five to share with you.

L’Oréal Nude Magique Cushion Dewy Glow foundation (shade: 01 Porcelain): I did a first impressions post on this foundation, and I still enjoy it. It’s actually the only foundation I’ve worn since I purchased it. It’s very easy to work with and it’s nice and glowy.

MAC Dunes At Dusk Gleamtones powder: This limited edition highlighting powder from MAC’s Vibe Tribe collection is so gorgeous. I’ve been wearing it a ton, and it’s quite different from any other highlighter I own, but so beautiful. Very summer appropriate in a way.

The Revenant (film): I had been wanting to watch The Revenant ever since it premiered, and I finally got to watch a few days before it stopped playing at the cinemas, and I’m so glad I did. It was a great film though very harsh, and it was beautifully shot. If I one day get the opportunity to watch again I definitely will.

Can’t Stop The Feeling – Justin Timberlake: I think a lot of you will agree with me when I say that Justin Timberlake is awesome. I’ve mentioned before that ‘N Sync is my all time favourite boyband, but JT has an incredible solo career as well. This song from the Trolls amimation film is so damn catchy, and I love it!

las-vegas-tattoo-photographer001

My first tattoo: My absolute favourite this month is my very first tattoo (no, it is not me being tattooed in the picture – it’s just a picture from Google Images). I’ve been wanting to get a tattoo since I was 15, and I’ve been wanting the specific tattoo that I got, since I was 16, and I’m so happy that I finally had it done. It turned out exactly how I wanted it, and I love it so much. I got the tattoo for me, and it’s one of a kind (unless someone else out there had the same strange idea), so I’m not going to show it to you (at least for now). I think it looks great, and I’m looking forward to having it on my body for the rest of my life.

All grey
