These are the none-make-up items I bought in Copenhagen last month. The sandals are from Zara and I think they’re really cute. The were on sale, and I don’t have anything like them, so I bought them:) I found the necklaces really cheap on sale at H&M, and I’ve already worn them several times. I’m actually wearing them in my next outfit post, and I really like them.
I can’t believe that we are about to enter the last month of spring. April was a great month; I had a lot of great times in great company, but I was also quite busy with my studies. I’m sure I’ll continue to be busy, but also continue to have fun in the month to come, but before saying hello to May, I’m going to say goodbye to April by talking a bit about some of my favourite things from the month.
Slip-ons by Topshop: I bought these slip-ons when I was on exchange in England. I loved them then, and I love them just as much now. I’ve been wearing them a lot this month, because the weather has been quite nice.
Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet liquid lipsticks: Usually when I feature a make-up product in one of these posts, I pick a specific shade, but I have an incredible hard time choosing between these two gorgeous shades, and I’ve been wearing both equally as many times, so I had to feature both. These are amazing, and I’m so sad that you can’t buy them in Denmark, because I would love to own every single shade.
Barry M Flawless Chisel Cheeks Contour Kit (highlight shade): Like the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvets my sister bought this contour kit for me in London. I haven’t used the bronzing and contour shades that much yet (they’re a bit dark), but I’m loving the highlight shade. I use it to set and brighten my under eye area, and I also like to lightly apply it down the bridge of my nose and on my chin.
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water: I’d heard a lot of good things about this cleansing water, so when I found it on sale I thought I would give it a go, and I love it. It easily removes any make-up and cleanses the skin. Best cleasing water I’ve tried so far.
Rita (Danish TV series): I usually don’t watch a lot of TV; I watch films and TV series on DVD, but that’s pretty much it. I’m not a big fan of Danish films, but I do enjoy a lot of Danish TV series. The past month or so the third season of Rita has been on TV. It’s a comedy/drama series about a very outspoken school teacher who deals with everyone else’s problems but her own. She’s single and now that all of her children have left home, she’s having a hard time living alone. It’s a series that deals with a lot of serious and real issues, but is funny at the same time and overall enjoyable in my opinion.
Here’s what I wore Thursday April 9. I’ve had the shoes lying around for about 1,5 years, but I somehow didn’t get around to wear them until the day I was wearing this outfit. I’ve worn them several times since then though:)
(Jeans – Cheap Monday, sweatshirt – Gina Tricot, shirt – H&M, sneakers – Converse)
Here’s what I wore Tuesday December 9. I’d just got the shoes two days earlier, and I really wanted to wear them, so I came up with this outfit to go with them, and not the other way around.
(Jeans – Cheap Monday, cardigan – Gina Tricot, blouse – Very by Vero Moda, hat – Accessorize, wedges – Kayla Shoes)
First of all: Happy Halloween to everyone who celebrates that (I personally don’t due to the fact that it’s not that big of a thing in Denmark). It’s time to say goodbye to October and hello to November. I’ve been quite busy the past few weeks, and I’m sure I’ll continue to be busy the next couple of months, but I’ll still try to blog every day, because I need a break from studying every now and again. This month I’ve once again discovered (or rediscovered) some items that I’ve come to love, and here’s 5 of them.
Black platform boots by B&CO: These boots are one of my all-time favourite pairs of shoes. I wore them A LOT last autumn and winter, and so far I’m doing the same this year. They’re so comfortable and go with so many different looks. Love them!
L’oréal Skin Perfection Awakening Eye Cream: I know I just mentioned the L’oréal Skin Perfection products yesterday, but I really like them, and so far I’m especially impressed by the eye cream. When I’m busy I get really tired, and as I mentioned yesterday I truly think this eye cream makes me look more awake.
Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter (colour: 040 Red Velvet): I bought this Revlon Lip Butter shortly before I left England, but I didn’t start wearing it until this month, because I find it to be a more autumn/winter appropriate colour. I was pleasantly suprised when I first tried it on, because it’s even more gorgeous than I expected it to be. I haven’t posted any pictures of me wearing it yet (I know I’m really behind with outfit/make-up posts), but I’ll do so in the nearest future.
Make-up sponge: I purchased this make-up sponge last week, and I can’t believe I haven’t used a sponge to apply my foundation (and concealer) before, because it’s amazing. It blends out your foundation so well and makes it look really natural. This is just a cheap make-up sponge, and it’s probably not very good compared to the Beautyblender, but I like it.
Air Guitar – McBusted: YES! McBusted’s debut album is coming out on December 1, but their first single came out earlier this month and I love it! The sound of the song is exactly how I would have imagined an original McBusted sound to be like. I have to say though that I’ve been waiting years now for the next McFly album to be released, but even though it looks like that’s not going to happen for a while, I’m still very exited about the McBusted album.
There’s only a few hours left of September which has been a great, but busy month for me. Studying has been taking up most of my time, but I’ve had time to party and hang out with awesome people (friends as well as family) as well. Before we jump into October I want to share a few of my favourite things from September with you.
Creepers by The Fabulous Creepers: As I wrote when I first bought these creepers, I had been on the hunt for the perfect pair, and I’m pretty sure these might be it. I’ve worn them quite a lot this month compared to how many shoes I’ve got, and I’ve already posted one outfit wearing them, and I have a couple of more to show you.
Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum foundation: My skin has been in a bad condition lately, so I’ve been needing a bit more coverage than usual. I’ve been wearing this foundation almost every day for the past 1,5 month. It’s a light coverage foundation, so you can still see the skin through the product which I love and it still covers up blemishes (to some extent). I use it together with my Collection Lasting Perfection concealer for even more coverage.
Pocket Garden (iPad game): I love playing all sorts of games and pretty much all I’ve been playing the past month (when I’ve had the time) is Pocket Garden on my iPad. I’m obsessed with this game! You basically have you own garden where you grow all sorts of veggies, fruits, flowers, and so on, and then you take orders from restaurants etc. that you have to complete. Love it!
Ally McBeal – season 1 + 2: I love watching TV-series and this past month I’ve been watching the first two seasons of Ally McBeal (I’m currently watching the 3rd season). I didn’t think I would enjoy this series as much as I am, but it’s actually very entertaining. I’ve borrowed all three seasons from my mum and I would usually take a picture of the DVD covers but I already gave her back the first two seasons. She doesn’t own the last two seasons, so it might be a while before I get to watch them.
Call Me Irresponsible (album) – Michael Bublé: I don’t remember if I’ve mentioned it before but I’m a huge fan of Michael Bublé’s music. I bought this album about a year ago I think and I’ve loved it all along, but this month in particular I’ve been listening to it a lot. This music just gets me in such a great mood. I love all the songs on the album, but thought you should start by listening to the title song (if you want to of course).
So I thought: new year – new feature on the blog. I know that showing your favourite items/things of the month isn’t exactly a new phenomenon, but it is kind of new to me (I made this post about a year ago though). These favourites doesn’t necessarily all have to be fashion or beauty related; it can be pretty much anything that I’ve been loving the given month. I’m going to make these posts on the last day of every month, so without further ado, here are my January favourites:
Nike Air Max sneakers: I know, you’ve seen quite a lot of these the past month, but being limited to only two pairs of shoes, the other pair being winter boots, I didn’t really have any other choice but to wear these. I have to say though that they are really comfortable and that I in general really like them, so you are going to see a lot more of them in the future.
e.l.f. Eye Manual eyeshadow palette: I’ve been using this eyeshadow palette pretty much everyday since I got it in December. The colours are absolutely beautiful and they match so well together. Love it.
The Vampire Diaries – season 2: I got the second season of The Vampire Diaries as the first gift on my Christmas gift calendar last month (I got the first season on my gift calendar in 2012), and I decided to bring it to England so I’d had bit of entertainment, at least for a little while. I finished it last Monday I think, and it was great entertainment. I’ve watched season 1 and 2 on TV before, but it was years ago, so I didn’t mind watching it again. I have only watched the first two seasons though, so I’m looking forward to watch the other seasons.
Chocolate Chip Digestive Biscuits: I probably have the world’s biggest sweet tooth (actually I have a mouth full of sweet teeth), especially when it comes to candy, but this month I’ve been really fond of these chocolate chip Digestive biscuits. I’ve always liked Digestive biscuits, and these chocolate chip ones are the best I’ve tasted so far.
Something Like You – ‘N Sync: I love boybands and I’m not ashamed of it;) I got two ‘N Sync CD’s for Christmas (‘N Sync is my favourite boyband by the way), and I’ve been listening to this cheasy love pop ballad countless times this past month. What I love about ‘N Sync, besides their catchy pop songs (which is pretty much all about love) and lovely boyband dance moves, is their beautiful harmonies. When they all sing together it sounds quite amazing, I think.
