Here’s the make-up I wore with this wedding guest outfit. You know how much I love pink and red together, and since most of my look was pink, I had to wear a pop of red on the lips (and nails).
(Base: primer – e.l.f Cosmetics Power Grip primer, foundation – L’Oréal Paris True Match Nude plumping tinted serum (shade: 0,5-2 Very Light), concealers – Smashbox x Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector in Fair/Light + Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer (shade: 1.3G Marshmellow), powders – Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Tone Up in Rose + e.l.f.

I can’t believe that it’ll be autumn by tomorrow – calender wise that is. We are having very nice summery weather in Denmark these days, so it doesn’t fell like autumn yet. However, I’m slowy beginning to get into a spooky season and Christmas season mood. August was another month of ups and downs on a personal level, but doing my make-up and getting ready in the morning in general is therapeutic to me, so all of my favourites this month are make-up or beauty related.
Makeup By Mario SoftSculpt serum bronzer (shade: Fair): I featured the Makeup By Mario SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer in my September 5 favourites post last year, and almost a year later I’m going to feature another Makeup By Mario SoftSculpt procuct. This is the liquid serum version, and it’s so so nice. The shade Fair is really fair, but it blends so easily and seamlessly, and it’s buildable. I’m just really enjoying this product.
NYX Buttermelt bronzers and blushes: I’m cheating a bit by grouping two products together here, but they’re the same line/formula, so I guess it works out. I’d heard such good things about the NYX Buttermelt bronzers and blushes, and they really are incredible. I want more shades of the blushes so bad.
Rimmel Kind & Free mascara (shade: 002 Brown Black): My biggest problem with mascaras is that most mascaras transfer and smudge on me, but this one from the Kind & Free line from Rimmel doesn’t. It’s not the most volumising mascara in the world, but it looks really nice on my lashes, and I love the brown black colour of it.
Huda Beauty Yo Glow Gingerbread Latte Enzyme Scrub: Here’s a skincare product I’ve been using for a while now that I’ve really enjoyed, so I thought it was time to feature it in a 5 favourites post. I try to use it a couple of times a week, and my skin always feels great after using this scrub. The scent was limited edition, but I love everything Christmassy.
KAYALI Eden Sparkling Lychee I 39 Eau De Parfum: I’d been wanting this scent ever since it launched, but it sold out quite quickly on Sephora’s website, so when it recently came back in stock, I purchased it right away. The KAYALI Eden Juicy Apple is one of my absolute favourite scents, so I had a feeling that I would love the Eden Sparkling Lychee as well, and I was so right; it smells delicious.
I have a collective haul to share with you today. It includes beauty, accessories, one piece of clothing, and one pair of shoes. Let’s begin with the beauty stuff.
I’m a huge Kayali fan, so I’m always excited when they launch a new scent. This is the Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar I 42 Eau de Parfum, and I always get the 10 ml bottle, because I wear my perfumes lightly. I love the Vanilla I 28 scent from Kayali, so I was excited about this one, but I have to say that I was a little disappointed, when I smelled it. It smells more floral than I thought and less sweet and candy like.
I featured the Sol de Janeiro Carioca Crush perfume mist in my July favourites post, and it’s a lovely, fruity scent.
And speaking of Sol de Janeiro, I really wanted the Cheriosa ’62 Eau de Parfum (50 ml), because I love the 62 perfume mist/body spray, and I got it in a set with the Brazilian Bum Bum cream (25 ml) for a really good prize. At the same website I also picked up the Buxom Serial Kisser plumping lip stain in Beso, which is a red shade.
Moving on to some more make-up. I featured the L’Oréal Glotion natural glow enhancer in 901 Fair Glow in my June favourites post, and I still love this product.
I love a glowy blush and the Maybelline Sunkisser blushes are really nice, so I picked up some more shades: 02 Uptown Glow, 08 Shades On, and 12 Summer In The City.
Another Maybelline product I really enjoy are the Superstay Vinyl Ink liquid lipsticks, and just look at these beautiful shades; 150 Striking, 155 Upbeat, and 170 Unafraid.
The Dior Forever Glow Maximizers are so beautiful, so I got another shade called 014 Rosy, which is a stunning blush on my skin tone.
I remember the Collection brand from when I briefly lived in England 10 years ago, and the Danish drugstore now carries the line, so I decided to try out the brand again.
This is the Collection cream bronzer in Shade 1 Bronze (the only shade). It’s a bit orangy.
This is the Collection Diamond Shine highlighter in Shine Bright 1, which looks like a dupe for the Fenty Beauty Diamond Bomb All Over Diamond Veil, but this one is dryer.
Some more products inspired by Fenty Beauty; it’s the Collection Gorgeous Glow sticks in Blush 1 and Highlight 2.
Collection is also inspired by Charlotte Tilbury. This is the Collection Filter Finish liquid blush light wand in 2 Peach Pleasure, and it’s actually quite pretty.
The Collection mini eyeshadow palette in Explorer Solar Voyage 3 and the Collection hydrating lipstick in Sweet Rose 28 are nothing special.
And now jewellery. This is a pair of beautiful earrings from Maanesten. They’re called Notus, and I’ve worn them quite a bit.
Here’s a bunch of cute jewellery pieces I got 15% off from H&M.
Did I buy another bow hair clip? Yes I did.
Is this my first straw hat? No, it’s not, but I didn’t have one with a tie. It’s also from H&M.
I already have this style of dress from H&M in blue, but it’s just such a good dress for hot summer days, so I got one in pink as well.
And lastly, a pair of Nike Cortex sneakers with my name written all over them. How could I not buy a pair of pink and red Nike Cortez!
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s always difficult to find a flattering light pink lipstick, but I don’t hate the colour of this one from Maybelline, and I love the formula.
(Base: primers – Rare Beauty Always An Optimist pore diffusing primer + L’Oréal Glotion natural glow enhancer (shade: 901 Fair Glow), foundation – Rare Beauty Positive Light tinted moisturizer (shade: 14W), concealers – Smashbox x Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector in Fair/Light + Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer (shade: 1.3G Marshmellow), powders – Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Tone Up in Rose + e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow setting powder in Light, freckles – KimChi Chic Candy Girl Fake Freckles in Afternoon in The Flower Field. Face make-up: bronzer – MAC Skinfinish Sunstruck Radiant bronzer (shade: Radiant Light Rosy), blusher – bareMinerals Gen Nude highlighting blush in Pink Glow, highlighter – Lunar Beauty Moonshroom highlighter palette (shades: Sugar + Blossom). Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Essence eyeshadow in 20 Cream + Lethal Cosmetics Mellow Grove palette (shades: Serenity + Sylvan + Elysian + Adrift + Lagoon +Bliss), mascaras – MAC Extended Play Gigablack Lash mascara + Pat McGrath Labs Dark Star mascara, eyeliner – MAC Powerpoint eye pencil in Mistletoe Mint. Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze + Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown. Lips: Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencil in 806 Go Ahead Pink + Maybelline Superstay Vinyl Ink in 155 Upbeat)
I know I recently posted a two part Asos sale haul, but I actually have another such haul today though not as big.
There’s only one piece of clothing in this haul and it’s this pair of denim shorts from Asos Design. I’ve really enjoyed styling and wearing these this summer.
The majority of this haul consists of accessories. These are the jewellery I picked up. The rhine stone necklace, the strawberry earrings, and the mixed metal bracelet are from Asos Design, and the golden bracelet is from Topshop.
You have probably noticed my love for hair accessories, and I’ve been loving a bow hair clip. This cute, denim one is from the brand Sister Jane.
I have these big hair clips in a lot of different colours, and I’m happy to have added this clear one from DesignB London to my collection, because it goes with everything.
Lastly, I bought some beauty products. The e.l.f. Skin Holy Hydration! face cream in the fragrance free version is a repurchase. So is the e.l.f. Cosmetics Power Grip primer, which is one of my favourite primers. I also got another shade of the e.l.f. Cosmetics Camo liquid blushes; it’s in the shade Dusty Rose. And then I picked up the Made By Mitchell Blursh Glaze liquid highlighter in Biscuit Bish. The liquid highlighters are probably my favourite Made By Mitchell products.
I have a Colourpop haul to share with you today. This haul includes the Beauty and The Beast collection, some sale items and more.
I’m pretty sure this is the entire Beauty and The Beast collection, which includes an eyeshadow palette, a Super Shock highlighter, two pressed powder blushes, two lip kits, and a lip mask.
This is what the eyeshadow palette looks like. I think this is a very pretty palette that captures the film and the characters of Belle and the Beast very well. I wore it here together with some of the other products from the collection.
The two pressed powder blushes come in the shades Ms. Potts and Chip, and both shades are lovely.
The Super Shock highlighter is in the shade Special Guest. I don’t particularly like this huge packaging, but I love the Super Shock highlighter formula.
These are the two Lux lipstick kits in Great Adventure (Belle’s kit) and Break the Spell (Beast’s kit). The Great Adventure kit comes with the Not So Odd Lux lipstick and the Bookworm Ultra Glossy lip, and the Break the Spell kit comes with the Last Petal Lux lipstick and the Kind & Gentle Ultra Glossy lip. I really like both of these lip kits.
And of course the collection had to include a cute, on theme lip mask, and this one is called the Enchanted Rose lip mask.
And sticking with the Disney Princess theme I picked up the Disney Designer collection It’s A Princess Thing palette on sale.
The only other palette I got (which wasn’t on sale) is the So Elemental palette, which is a beautiful cool-toned blue palette.
I don’t know anything about Naruto, but I love the Super Shock shadows, and I thought this Ninja Academy Super Shock shadow set looked really cute. It comes with the three shades (from left to right) Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha.
I also picked up a couple more Super Shock shadows. These are in the shades Flower Child and For Real.
Speaking of Super Shock, I also love the Super Shock blushes, so I picked up these three shades called (from left to right) Growth Flirt, Drop of a Hat, and Bardot.
I hadn’t tried this more glowy version of the pressed powder blushes, so I purchased these two shades called Morning Vibes and Dancing Queen.
Lastly, I wanted to try the So Juicy plumping gloss balms and picked up the She’s So Juicy set, which includes the shades (from left to right) Guava Glaze, Dolled Up, and Berry Spritz. So far I like these.
I have a beauty haul to share with you today. I purchased these products from the German site Purish.
The Lunar Beauty Moonshroom collection is one of the main reasons I made this order. I think this palette is so stunning. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.
I also got the Moonshroom highlighter palette, which is such a stunner as well.
This is the Lethal Cosmetics Mellow Grove palette, which is another palette I had my eye on. I really enjoyed the Lethal Cosmetics Midnight Serenade palette, so I was hoping that this palette would have the same great quality.
From Lethal Cosmetics I also picked up the Magnetic face powder in Pansy and two of the Haze plush lip creams in the shades Leeward and Hydra. I really like the glowy blushes from Lethal Cosmetics, and this Pansy shade is so fun. I haven’t tried the Haze plush lip creams yet.
Lastly, I got the Danessa Myricks Beauty Blurring Buddies holiday kit, which includes a mini of the Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder in Universal and the Blurring Balm Powder Flushed in the shade It Girl. I already own a full size of the Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder in Universal, which I love, and I’ve got another shade of the Blurring Balm Powder Flushed blushes, so I knew that they were good. They’re some of the most long lasting cream blushes I’ve tried.
I’d not been second hand shopping for a really long time (I’m not quite sure why), but earlier this year I started to get back into it, and it’s been a lot of fun. The first two pieces are from an indoors flea market, where the clothes are sold by private sellers, and the rest is from charity shops.
I’d been wanting a thermal one piece for a while to wear outdoors in the winter, and when I saw this colourful, floral one from one of my favourite brands Crás, I just had to have it. It looked like it had never been used.
I also found these acid lime green slacks from Crás with the tags still on, and I have the matching blazer in my closet already.
And now on to the stuff I purchased from charity shops. I’ve been looking for more trousers that fit after I lost the “baby weight”, and I picked up these brown jeans, but they’re actually a little too big on me.
I don’t remember if I’ve ever had a denim vest before, but this oversized one is a fun layering piece.
I want to add more fun blouses to my wardrobe, and I thought this floral one was very pretty.
This is one of my favourite pieces I picked up. It’s such a fun vintage find; it even has a bow on the back.
Leopard print is everywhere, so I loved finding this sheer leopard print shirt second hand.
I’ve already worn this white short sleeve shirt several times. It’s just such a versatile piece.
I don’t wear a lot of cropped tops, but I just loved this pink blouse/shirt.
I also picked up a couple of hats; a soft black-ish baker boy hat and a fun, furry leopard print one.
Lastly, I got this purple, green, and blue patterned tie. I love finding fun, printed second hand ties.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. The Ensley Reign Cosmetics Harvest Moon palette is a very dark, autumnal looking palette, but I thought the colour story matched this outfit so well.
(Base: primer – e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Poreless Putty primer, foundation – Rare Beauty Positive Light tinted moisturizer (shade: 14W), concealers – Rare Beauty Positive Light under eye brightener (shade: Light) + Fenty Beauty We’re Even hydrating longwear concealer (shade: 120N), powders – Essence Brighten Up! Banana powder in 10 Bababanana + Kiko Milano Radiant Fusion baked powder in 01. Face make-up: bronzer – Revlon SkinLights Prismatic bronzer in 110 Sunlit Glow, blusher – Colourpop pressed powder blush in Dancing Queen, highlighter – Essence Got A Crush On Apricots baked highlighter in 01 Feel The Apricôt D’Azur Sun. Eye make-up: base – Sigma Beauty Eyeshadow Base Primer in Ignite, eyeshadows – Essence eyeshadow in 20 Cream + Ensley Reign Cosmetics Harvest Moon palette (shades: Hayride + Cozy + Harvest Moon + Tombstone + Corn Maze + Foliage), mascara – Rimmel Kind & Free mascara (shade: 02 Brown Black), eyeliner – Oden’s Eye Solmåne gel liner in 002 Orange. Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze + Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown. Lips: Colourpop Lippie pencil in Absolute Zero + 3ina The Lipstick in 172 + Catrice Plump It Up lip booster in 070 Fake It Till You Make It)
