I got this Lancôme Pink Pocket Look on my gift advent calendar from my mum two days ago. It contains a Mini Crayon Khôl Noir (eyeliner), a Hypnôse Drama 01 Excessive Black (mascara), a Lip Lover 337 (lipgloss), and a Vernis In Love Rose Bonheur 345B (nail polish). These are my first ever Lancôme products so I’m excited to try them out.
Here’s my latest order of Jeffree Star products. As I mentioned in my first impressions post on the Velour liquid lipsticks they are my absolute favourite liquid lipsticks, and I love that Beautybay.com keeps adding more shades. They now also have some of the Skin Frost highlighters, so I got one of those as well.
The liquid lipstick shades I decided to get were (from top to bottom) Leo, Masochist, Abused, and Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and they are gorgeous.
The Skin Frost I got is Peach Goddess and it’s such a beautiful peachy pink shade. I really want the Skin Frost in Ice Cold as well, but I haven’t been able to get my hands on that one yet.
It’s the party season and thought I needed some new party clothes. The top, skirt, and heels are all from H&M and the velvet chokers are from a brand called Krystal London (I got them from Asos). I thought the silver top was very festive and it’s affordable too which is always nice when it’s something you won’t wear that often. I’ve been wanting a long, pleated skirt for a long time, and when I found this one on sale on H&M webshop I just had to get it. When I ordered the top and the skirt I had also put the beautiful silver glitter heels in my basket, but they were sold out when I was going to check out, but luckily the were back in stock about a week or so later. I’ve been wanting to try out the choker trend for a while and when I found these two velvet ones on sale on Asos I thought it was time to give a try. I’ve worn both of them once each so far, and I quite like them. My plan is actually to wear all of these items (though only one of the chokers) on New Year’s Eve, but we’ll see.
As you might have noticed I love the Danish online beauty shop, Cocopanda, and I thought I would show you what I got in my latest order.
I decided to get my first ever beautyblender. I haven’t tried it yet, because I’m using a Real Techniques Miracle Complexion sponge at the moment. I’ve been using the Real Techniques sponges for ages now, and I’ve read that it’s one of the best dupes for the beautyblender, but I thought I would try out the real deal as well.
When I saw these NYX Cosmic Metals lip creams I had to buy a few colours. I decided to get (from the top) Extraterrestrial, Celestial Star, and Electromagnetic. They are really creamy, but still pigmented, and they’re easy to touch up during the day. I also decided to get the NYX Liquid Suede cream lipstick in Run the World, because it looked like the most beautiful purple, and it really is.
I also decided to try out one of the NYX Slide On, Glide On, Stay On & Definitely A Turn On Waterproof Extreme Shine eye liner in Golden Olive. I love the NYX lip liners of the same name, and I thought the eye liners would probably be a similar formula. I haven’t worn it on my eyes yet, but it swatches beautifully.
Lastly, I got a NYX Ombre Blush in the shade Mauve Me. I goes from a light nude to a dark mauve and it’s really beautiful. It has a really nice sheen to it, and it’s a great autumn/winter shade.
Finally I’m getting around to showing you the drugstore products I bought in the Netherlands. I didn’t go super crazy (I don’t think) and I mainly bought products from brands you can’t get in Denmark.
First off I bought some lip liners. I got really into lip liners this year, and when I saw the Essence display I decided to grap the shades that I didn’t have already (I bought four Essence lip liners in Munich last year); Wish Me A Rose, Soft Berry, and Femme Fatale. I recently used up the transparent lip liner I had from Rimmel, so I decided to try out the Essence Invisible Kiss Transparent lipliner. A transparent lip liner is great to have if you wear a lot of bold lip colours and you don’t have a matching lip liner. The last lip liner I bought was the Rimmel Exaggerate Full Colour lip liner in Eastend Snob. I’d heard and read a lot of good things about these lip liners (and this particular shade), and it is really good; super soft and pigmented.
I saw a lot of highlighters at the drugstores, and I decided to get two: the MUA Undress Your Skin shimmer highlighter in Pink Shimmer and the Catrice High Glow Mineral highlighting powder in 010 Light Infusion. I’m very impressed by both these highlighters. They’re both very pigmented, and the MUA one is actually pink on the skin and it almost has a duochrome look to it. I also bought the Essence Satin Touch blush in 20 Satin Love which is a very pretty nude blusher.
Lastly I bought this MUA eye shadow palette in Poptastic. I don’t have a lot of bright eye shadows, and I really like the MUA eye shadows so I thought I would give this palette a go. I’ve only worn the green shade in the bottom left corner so far, but it was really pigmented and stayed on my eyelids for a really long time, so so far so good. I’m looking forward to be playing around some more with this palette.
I’ve gone a bit Christmas jumper crazy this year. I’ve been looking in stores and online for Christmas jumpers for months now, and when they finally arrived I decided to take advantage of it. I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m obsessed with Christmas. December is my favourite month and I love everything there has anything to do with Christmas, and I can’t wait to wear these throughout December (I did wear one the other day; there’s a picture of it on my instagram @muchaluchas). The first one is from the brand VRS which is a brand some of the Danish chain supermarkets carry. I love Christmas trees and I thought the pompons were a fun touch. The second one is from New Look which I ordered off Asos. I thought it was super cute and I love the classic Christmas colours of red, green, and white. The last two are both from H&M. The grey one with the santa was a modern twist on the Christmas jumper with the pop culture reference which I think is awesome, and the red one is the same style of sweatshirt I have in so many other colours and prints, and I just thought this one was super festive. Are you going to wear any Christmas jumpers this year?
When I was in the Netherlands last month I obviously did a bit of shopping. Besides the products I’m going to talk about now I also bought some great products at the drugstore, but I’ll tell you more about those in a separate post. Today is all about Benefit. I’ve been wanting to try out Benefit’s products for so long, and when I saw this set I had to go for it. It contains the POREfessional primer, Hoola bronzer, Roller Lash mascara and a sample of Gimme Brow brow gel. I’ve heard/read lots of good things about all of these products, so I was/am excited to try them out. I haven’t used the POREfessional primer that many times yet, but it feels nice on the skin and so far I like it. I’m loving the Hoola bronzer which was one of the items I wanted to try out the most. It’s really pigmented and the colour is perfect. I haven’t tried the Roller Lash mascara yet, because I want to finish up the mascaras I’m using at the moment, but this was the other product I wanted to try out the most, so I’m really excited to see if it is as good as people say. The Gimme Brow is a tinted brow gel in the shade 3 medium which is a great shade for me. I’ve used it when going out to add a little extra something to my brows and I really like the way it looks. If you haven’t tried out any Benefit products I think this set is the way to go.
I’m always excited about MAC’s Holiday collections, and this year I was not disappointed. The packaging is absolutely gorgeous, and the products are beautiful, so I thought I would show you what I decided to pick up from this year’s collection.
Obviously I had to have one of the lipsticks, and I chose this beautiful deep purple shade called Leap of Delight. It has a matte finish, and I love how it matches the packaging.
I also decided to get one of the Magic Dust powders. I chose the shade Yum Yum Yum which is a pretty pink with gold shimmer. It looks beautiful on the skin, and look at the stars in the actual powder! So gorgeous.
Lastly, I had to get my hands on one of the face compacts. Even though the Copper one was the most hyped one (do to the fact that the highlighter in it is the popular Whisper of Gilt) I decided to get the Peach one because it contains the lighter shades. I wouldn’t say that there’s anything peach about it, but I love it none the less. The Extra Dimension Skinfinish (highlighter) is called Tutu and the Extra Dimension Blush is called At Dusk and both powders are stunning.
It’s been over year since I purchased my first MAC Pro Longwear concealer, I’ve used it almost every day since, and there’s still some product left. Not much product though, so I needed to buy a back-up, so I wouldn’t run out of it. I ordered it online, and I thought I would purchase my first MAC powder blush as well. I’ve heard so many good things about the powder blushers and I’m not disappointed in the shade I got. I decided to get Desert Rose which was on top of my MAC blusher wishlist. It’s described as soft reddish-burgundy and it has a matte finish. I thought it would be the perfect autumn/winter blusher and it really is. During the month of October you would get a free mascara sample with every online order, and it’s a sample of the Zoom Fast Black Lash. I’ve been using it quite a bit and I really like it. I’ll do a first impressions post on it within the next few weeks.
I thought I would show you a few products I bought at the drugstore a little while ago. I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that I loved the Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro primer, but sadly it has been discontinued, so I thought I would give the Rimmel Fix & Protect makeup primer a go. I like it, but I still think I prefer the Fix & Perfect one. The second product I bought was the Maybelline Master Strobing Stick in the shade 100 Light-Iridescent. I usually go for powder highlighters, but this cream stick version looked so pretty and convenient. I’m making a first impressions post on this product some time next week, so keep an eye on that if you want to know my thoughts about it. Lastly, I bought another Gosh Velvet Touch lipliner. I’m always on the hunt for good red lip liners, and this one looked very pretty. It’s in the shade 004 Simply Red.
