Red haute

DSC_8590DSC_8584

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m wearing one of the H&M lipsticks and I really like it. It’s pigmented, long lasting and comfortable to wear. The vanilla scent does hang around for a while, but it’s not too bad. I’ve worn the other shade (the purple one) as well, and that one was a bit patchy which this red shade wasn’t at all, so it looks like there might be a bit of inconsistency in the line. But when that’s said I think they’re really nice lipsticks.

5 favourites – February

From tomorrow on it’ll officially be spring, even though the weather in Denmark states otherwise. I really wish that the weather would become warmer very soon. Not that I would have much time to enjoy it, since March is going to be all about exams. I can’t believe that I already have exams again. Anyways, my favourites from the past month consists of the two M’s; Make-up and Movies.

Zoeva En Taupe eye shadow palette: I’m so glad I purchased this palette. It’s been my most used palette since I received it in the end of January. If you want to see what the shades inside the palette look like, you can check out this post.

Makeup Geek blusher in Spell Bound: I was really excited about trying out Makeup Geek’s blushers, and I was not disappointed. The shade I’ve been especially loving is Spell Bound which is my go-to kind of blush shade.

MAC lipstick in Von Teese: This has probably been my most worn lipstick this past month. It’s the perfect shade of red in my opinion and I love the matte finish. I’m wearing it here.

harry and sally

When Harry Met Sally (film): I’ve been wanting to watch this classic romcom for I don’t know how many years, and I finally caught it on TV a few weeks back. I really enjoyed it, and I see why it’s a classic.

Snow White & The Huntsman (film): This is another film that pleasantly suprised me this month. I love that it has a twist on the original story about Snow White plus I won’t complain about a film which have both Chris Hemsworth and Sam Claflin in it:)

Perfect in-between

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I think the lip combo is really pretty; it’s the perfect in-between pink and purple.

Blue party lips

Here’s the make-up I wore with this party outfit. I wore a neutral eye make-up to keep the focus on the blue lips. I know blue lips are not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you love bold colours (like I do), they’re perfect for a night out.

Those dark red lips

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. A dark red lip always looks fabulous with a black and white outfit in my opinion.

Not completely satisfied

Here’s the make-up I wore Thursday January 28. I wanted to wear the NYX Prismatic eye shadow in Fireball. I think the eye make-up looked better in real life, but I’m not completely satisfied with it. I want to play around some more with this eye shadow a day where I have more time to do my make-up.

Beautybay haul

I placed an order on Beautybay.com about a month ago and received the parcel about two weeks later. Here’s what I purchased:

When I saw this Zoeva En Taupe eye shadow palette I knew that it was just the palette for me. I love taupes and cool-toned shadows, and this palette is so beautiful. The shadows have great pigmentation and they blend very well. I would love to own more Zoeva palettes.

I’ve been wanting to try the Makeup Geek blushers (and eye shadows) for a long time, so I decided to order two shades + a Z-palette to keep them in. The shades I’ve got are Spell Bound and Bliss, and I love them. They’re so pigmented, and I’ve been wearing them a ton since I received them.

The last item I ordered was this Morphe eye shadow brush. It’s number M511 and I really like it. I would love to try out more brushes and products from Morphe.

Coral orange

Here’s the make-up I wore this outfit. As I wrote in the outfit post, I really like this make-up look. The lipstick is one of my favourite orange lipsticks, and I think it looks great with the eye make-up.

H&M lipsticks

DSC_8352DSC_8355

I purchased these lipsticks from H&M’s new(ish) make-up line in the beginning of January. They were on sale and I think the colours are gorgeous. I haven’t tried them on yet, but when I have, I’ll show you what they like look on the lips and let you know what I think about them. They are supposed to have a matte finish which is great, and I really like the black and gold packaging. Have you tried any of the H&M make-up?
