5 favourites – June

The first summer month has come to an end, and what a month it was. I’ve been working so much in June like most teachers do due to exams. And because I’ve been working so much this whole year actually I have an extra long summer holiday, which is so needed. Weatherwise it’s become summer in Denmark as well, which is lovely, however, some days (like today) are almost too hot. Anyways, we’re here to talk about favourites, and my June favourites are a mixed bag of things, so let’s talk about them.

Blue retro floral pleated trousers: It’ll still be quite a while before I get around to posting the haul including these trousers from Monki, but I’ve been loving them for the past couple of months (so not just in June), so I thought I would give them a shout out. They’re so comfortable, and I love their retro vibe.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Flawless Brightening concealer (shade: Fair 10 C): Here’s another product I haven’t hauled yet, but that I’ve been loving and using so much this past month. I remember not being sure about it in the beginning, but I’m like that with most products; the more I use them and get to know them, the more I usually love them. I typically don’t use this concealer alone, because it has a lighter coverage, but it’s a great brightening base.

MAC Boldly Bare lip pencil: I’ve had this lip pencil for a couple of years now, and it’s my go-to pinky nude lip pencil, but I’ve never featured it in a 5 favourites before, so I thought it was about time. I really like MAC lip pencil in generel though.

Jurassic World: Dominion (film): I’ve featured the previous two Jurassic World films in past 5 favourites posts, so now we come full circle. Was this the best film in the Jurassic World series, probably not, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I especially loved the references to previous Jurassic films, since the original Jurassic Park is my favourite film of all time.

Sun Lolly – Raspberry-Liquorice: My last favourite this month is an edible one. Warmer weather is ice cream and popsicles weather. Sun Lolly popsicles are very common in Denmark, and this month I discovered a new flavour, Raspberry-Liquorice, and both my boyfriend and I are obsessed. You might find that liquorice in a popsicle sounds strange, but it’s so good!

Three main colours

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wanted to include all three main colours of my outfit in to my make-up look, and more specifically my eye look, and I think the look turned out quite fun. I actually really like pink and green together.

Monochromatic fuchsia

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s not often that I get to do a monochromatic fuchsia look, but I thought it would be perfect with this particular outfit.

Collective Sephora haul (January 2022)

I have a rather large collective Sephora haul to share with you today. This haul is a mix of Valentine’s Day releases, my first Rare Beauty products, and sale items.

Let’s begin with the Valentine’s Day products. This is the Pat McGrath Love & Lust: Gloss Duo. To be honest, I think I purchased this gloss duo exclusively for the cute packaging, because I haven’t worn any of them yet.

I also purchased the Valentine’s exclusive set from Natasha Denona which was the limited edition Mini Crush palette and eyeshadow brush. I’ve expressed my love for Natasha Denona eyeshadow palettes many times before, so of course I had to add this mini to my collection. I wore this palette here.

I also purchased two more products from Natasha Denona. I got the Mini Biba palette and the I Need A Nude lipstick in Charlotte 15% off. Both of these products are so nice.

Here’s a random group of products which I got on sale. I picked up a full size of the Wishful Honey Whip peptide face moisturizer, which I love and use every day. I also picked up another Pat McGrath Skin Fetish: Divine blush, a Milk Makeup matte bronzer travel size stick bronzer, and a Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle Plush matte lipstick.

This is the Pat McGrath blush, and it’s in the shade Cherish. It’s so beautiful!

I’ve heard a lot about this Milk Makeup stick bronzer, so I decided to get the travel size in the shade Baked. It’s super pigmented, so a little goes a loooong way.

The Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle Plush matte lipstick is in the shade Pumpkin Rose, and I’d thought about getting this shade a long time ago, so I decided to finally get it now that it was on sale. It’s such a pretty yellow based orange.

These are my Rare Beauty purchases. I decided to pick up a Soft Pinch Matte liquid blush in the shade Grace and a Soft Pinch Dewy liquid blush in Grateful. They’re super pigmented and I haven’t quite figured out the best way to apply them yet. I also picked up the Positive Light liquid highlighter in Enchant, which is a pretty pink shade.

I’d been wanted to try the Rms Beauty Living Luminizer for quite some time, but it’s really expensive, so when I found it as a part of the Sephora Favourites GOOD FOR Selection, which was on sale and cheaper than the one cream highlighter, I was very excited. I’ve already featured the Living Luminizer in a 5 favourites, and I’m still obsessed with it. The set also included a mini Milk Makeup Hydro Grip primer, which I’d also been wanted to try, the Ren Clean Skincare Mattifying mineral face sunscreen, the Pai Skincare The Impossible Glow bronzing drops, the Sephora Collection Beautiful Lash mascara, and the Sephora Collection Waterproof eye pencil in 01 Fresh Licorice.

Lastly, I got free gift as well. It includes a Sephora shimmery seethrough make-up bag and two mini mascaras; a Sephora Big By Definition mascara and a Pat McGrath Dark Star mascara in Xtreme Black.

Blue floral goodness

Here’s what I wore Friday April 22. I haven’t hauled this blue floral matching set yet, but I’ve been obsessed with it! It’s so comfy and so easy to throw on, and it’s just such an effortless outfit that just looks so good if you ask me.
