Jeffree Star Velour lip liners

DSC_6126

It’s been about a month since Jeffree Star launched his Velour lip liners, so you probably know all about them, but I wanted to do a quick post on them anyways. Jeffree Star Cosmetics is one of my absolute favourite make-up brands, and the Velour liquid lipsticks are my favourite lipsticks, so I was quite excited about this launch. Jeffree Star made 17 shades corresponding to shades from his Velour liquid lipstick range, and I decided to get 5 of my favourite shades. The shades I’ve purchased are (from the top) Anna Nicole, Redrum, Calabasas, Celebrity Skin, and Leo. The lip liners claim to be creamy, long-lasting, and to have extreme payoff, and all three things are true. They are creamy, but not too soft, and they are long-lasting and really pigmented. I’m excited to see if Jeffree Star releases more shades in the future.

5 favourites – October

We are approaching the last official month of autumn, and the Danish weather has definitely been autumnal lately. Even wintery as it snowed last weekend. We sure are getting closer to December and Christmas, and Christmassy things have started to show up at most stores. You can probably imagine how excited I am! I have already started to collect some bits for my upcoming Christmas clothing haul. But we still have one month to go, and before November begins, let’s talk about some October favourites.

Beige og brun ternede støvler m. chunky hæl - Monki

Checked boots: I’m so happy that I bought these checked boots from Monki. They are so comfortable, and they’re are in the perfect autumn colours. I’ve already worn them quite a bit, but I know that I’ll get a lot more use out of them.

L’Oréal Paradise Extatic mascara: When I did my first impressions post on this mascara, I mentioned how this is the best mascara I’ve tried other than my favourite one, Maybelline The Falsies. I’ve worn this mascara all month, and I still really enjoy using it.

Laura Geller highlighter duo 1

Laura Geller baked highlighter in French Vanilla (the shade on the left): I’ve heard lots of Youtubers talk about this highlighter. I usually go for a more intense highlighter, but French Vanilla is such a gorgeous more natural highlighter that still gives your skin the most beautiful glow.

elf

Elf (film): I’ve watched so many films this past month, and a lot of them I hadn’t watched before. I loved most of the films I watched, but I couldn’t feature all them in this post, so I narrowed them down to my two favourites. The first one is a classic Christmas film; Elf. Considered how much I love Christmas, it’s strange that I hadn’t watched this one until earlier this month. I guess I hadn’t watched it because I don’t particularly like Will Ferrell, but there’s a reason why Elf is a classic. I loved it, and I’ll definitely rewatch it.

diehard

Die Hard (film): My other favourite film I’ve watched this past month is another (Christmas) classic. And again, I see why this is a classic. It’s simply a great action film. I also watched the second one, and I’m really looking forward to watch the rest of this film series.

Small autumn clothing haul

About a month ago, my sisters and two of my cousins were visiting me. Obviously, we went shopping, and these are the items I purchased.

Sort, beige, brun, lyserød m.m. mønstret skjorte - second hand

We went to a bunch of second hand stores, but I only found one item, which is this shirt. I love colorful, patterned vintage shirts like this one, so I couldn’t leave it behind. This colour combination is quite unusual, and the buttons are very pretty.

Regnbuefarvet stribet sweater - Monki

I love super colourful things, and I instantly fell in love with this rainbow striped jumper from Monki. I can’t wait to style it in a bunch of different ways.

Bordeaux, lyserød, orange, brun og mørkeblå stribet højhalset trøje - Monki

I also found this stripy number in the Monki store. I love a roll neck top, and I love the autumnal colours of this one. It will pair perfectly with most of my corduroy trousers.

Mørkebrune fløjlsoveralls - Monki

I’d been eyeing up these corduroy overalls for a while, and I finally decided to purchase them. I love the chocolate brown colour, and I’ve already worn them with the autumnal roll neck top above.

Sort velour hårbøjle

Lastly, I bought this black, velvet headband. I found it at my local supermarket, and I thought it would be perfect for the upcoming holiday season.

First impressions: L’Oréal Paradise Extatic mascara

DSC_6024

I’ve been wanting to try out the L’Oréal Paradise Extatic mascara for a while, so I decided to write down my first impressions.

First impressions

It has a rather large bristle brush/wand, but it’s quite easy to use. The mascara claims to give your lashes both volume and length, and I think it does. It holds the curl too. It’s easy to remove from the skin with a dry cotton bud without ruining the eye shadow, and it’s easy to remove completely with regular make-up remover, which are both huge plusses in my book. It only transferred a little unto my eyelids throughout the day, but it really wasn’t too bad. All in all, I really enjoy this mascara, and it’s probably the best mascara I’ve tried other than my favourite Maybelline The Falsies mascara.

Two pairs of shoes

I’ve bought some more shoes. I know, I’ve gone a bit shoe-crazy lately, but it’s a new season, and I’m so inspired when it comes to putting together outfits.

Lilla, sort og hvide Lampin m. fløjl - Vans

I’ve purchased my first ever pair of Vans. When I saw these online, I fell in love instantly. I’m obsessed with corduroy and my favourite colour is purple, so it’s a match made in shoe heaven.

Røde lak støvler m. trekantet chunky hæl - Even&Odd

I’ve also bought a new pair of red boots. I had to get rid of my old pair, because I had worn them to death, but red boots has become an essential in my wardrobe, so I got myself a new pair. These are from Even&Odd, and I love the round toe and the shape of the heel.

5 favourites – September

Another month has flown by, and we’re now another month closer to December:) The weather has become more autumnal, and I really don’t mind it. I love dressing in autumn, because you can start to layer. There’s also a lot of great textures and colours in autumn fashion, so I’m feeling very inspired when it comes to putting together outfits these days. I do also have a couple of fashion related favourites this month though the might not be particularly autumnal.

Hvide chunky sneakers m. lyserøde, grå og karrygule detaljer - Topshop

Chunky sneakers: Sneakers are my go-to kind of shoes, and these chunky ones from Topshop has been my favourite pair this past month. They’re super comfortable, and I love the slightly odd colour combination.

Trollbeads forandringsring

Trollbeads ring of change: I bought this ring with some money I got as a graduation present (when I got my master’s degree), and I’ve been wearing it a ton. I love that you can costumise it to match your outfit by changing the bead.

Half updo with big hair clip: I featured big hair clips in my July favourites, and I still love them and wear them all the time. This past month, I’ve mainly worn them in this half updo fashion. It’s just such an easy and quick way to do your hair, and it looks cute.

null

Coco (film): I finally got to watch Disney’s Coco, and I absolutely loved it! I loved the story, the music, and the scenery and colours of the film are gorgeous. I don’t know how Disney does it, but they sure make the best animated films.

DSC_5949

Record player: I’d been wanting a record player for a while, and I was very lucky to get one for my birthday last month. I’ve been buying old records at second hand stores, and I’ve been listening to them almost every day, since I got the recond player.

Another H&M haul

It’s been about a month since my last H&M haul, and it’s time for another one.

Hvid T-shirt m. Friends logo - H&M

This T-shirt was actually a birthday present. I love Friends and I love graphic tees, so this is right up my street.

Rød off-shoulder top m. blomster - H&M

Even though summer is over, I thought this red, floral, off-shoulder top was really pretty. I probably won’t get much use out of it right now, but I’ll just save for next year.

Mørkeblå sweater m. rød, hvid og lysegrå julemønster - H&M

This, on the other hand, will be very appropriate in a few month’s time. If you didn’t now, I’m obsessed with Christmas jumpers, and I thought about getting this one last year, but some reason I didn’t. Until now. I found it on sale on H&M’s webpage, and I can’t wait to wear it in December.

Brune fløjlsbukser m. vide - H&M

Remember the pink corduroy trousers, I featured in my last H&M haul? Well, I had to have the brown ones too. They are so ’70s, and I can’t wait to style these.

Sorte højtaljede bukser m. vide - H&M

I’ve also bought a pair of black wide-led trousers. They have a old-fashioned look to them, and they’ll be interesting to style.

Sort beret - H&M

Lastly, I bought a black beret. I had a black beret years ago, but I lost it and never found it again, so now a have a new one.

Collective haul: clothes

It’s time for the second part of my collective haul; these are some clothes I’ve bought recently.

Beige baggy bukser m. lynlåse - second hand

As you might have noticed, I love second hand shopping. I love the fact that you never know what you’re going to find, and due to the inexpensive prices, you can try out a lot of different styles without breaking the bank. One of my most recent second hand purchases is this pair of trousers. They are very different from anything I own, but I thought they would be fun to style. I’ll be posting an outfit featuring them soon.

Mørkegrå lang blazer m. beige striber - second hand

When I’m second hand shopping, I’m always looking for blazers. In the store where I also found the trousers, I found this long pinstriped blazer. I love the dark grey colour with the camel pinstripes, and it has shoulder pads which is always a plus.

Bordeaux, sort og hvid stribet T-shirt m. glimmer - MonkiBrun og lyseblå stribet T-shirt m. glimmer - Monki

I’m obsessed with stripy T-shirts, and I couldn’t resist these two from Monki. They both have glitter (how great is that!), and I love the colour schemes. The second T-shirt with the brown and blue stripes will be a perfect match for a pair of trousers that I’ll feature in my next haul.

Monki strømper (regnbue, grøn, bordeaux)

Lastly, I bought some fun socks. I love colourful, fun socks, and Monki has some of the best ones. I couldn’t leave behind the rainbow glitter ones, and I love the plain coloured ones as well.

Collective haul: shoes and accessories

I have a collective haul to share with you. These are all things I’ve accumulated over the past month or so. I’ve split up the haul into two parts; this part will be about the shoes and accessories, and the second part will be the clothes.

Hvide Cortez m. rød og blå detaljer - Nike

You might have noticed that I’m very much inspired by ’70s fashion, and when I think of of ’70s sneakers I think of a pair of Nike Classic Cortez. I’ve been wanting a pair of these for quite a while, and not long ago they were on sale on Asos. I wanted the classic colourway made famous by Farrah Fawcett and Forrest Gump, and I can’t wait to style them in a bunch of different ways.

Beige og brun ternede støvler m. chunky hæl - Monki

Now that it’s officially autumn, it’s time to wear boots again. It was love at first sight with these checked Monki boots. I wore them for the first time today, and they were really comfortable.

Rød baker boy cap - H&MLyserød fløjl baker boy cap - H&M

Since I love hats, I’ve been wanting to try out the baker boy hat trend for a long time, and I finally bought not one, but two. I bought a red one and pink one, because they are two of my favourite colours. The pink one is made of corduroy too, which is a bonus. They’re both from H&M.

Pink hårspænde med stenRødt hårspænde m. blomster

My obsession with hair clips continues. The pretty pink one was a birthday present from one of my sisters, and the red one with the flowers is from Monki.

First online Zara haul

I’ve never purchased anything from Zara’s website before, but I found some awesome shoes on sale that I just couldn’t resist.

Blå spidse støvler m. læbeprint og stilethæle - Zara

How incredible are these boots! These are the boots that made me place this order. I’m obsessed with the print and the colours, and I can’t wait to style these.

Lilla paillet spidse støvler m. kitten heel - Zara

I also bought another pair of fun boots. These boots has serious ’80s vibes, and I love it!

Auberginefarvede brogues m. lyserøde såler - Zara

The last pair of shoes I bought are these platform brogues. I love the aubergine colour of them, and how amazing are the pink ombré soles!

Orange, blå og beige stribet T-shirt - ZaraOrange, navy og hvid stribet T-shirt - Zara

I also bought a couple of stripy T-shirts, because a stripy T-shirt is my go-to kind of top. Both of these T-shirts reminded me of the ’70s, and I think both would look great with flared jeans.
