First (and last) red and gold

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I think this was my first (and last) red and gold make-up look this Christmas. As much as I’ve enjoyed wearing Christmassy make-up looks, I’m also very excited to play with other colour combos and wear other kinds of make-up looks again.

Last of the year

Here’s what I wore Sunday December 26. This is going to be the last Christmas outfit I’ll post this year, and I wore it at a family Christmas party/get-together. As always I’ve loved wearing all of these Christmas looks, but now I’m also ready to wear my “regular” clothes again.

Essence 24 sparkling moments of joy

I decided to buy the Essence advent calender again this year, because it’s cute and fun and affordable. Last year’s calender included quite a few non beauty/make-up related items, which I’m not the biggest fan of, so I liked this year’s calender a lot better. Here are the items it included.

The first six items in the calendar were a luminous blush, a lip scrub, an eyeshadow base, nail jewellery stickers, a lipstick, and a mirror. I think the packaging on the items this year is super cute, and I’m especially excited to try the luminous blush.

The next six items were a brow spoolie, a mini nail primer, an I Love Extreme volume mascara, precise concealer sponges, a moisturizing hand mask, and a kajal pencil eyeliner. We got the mascara and eyeliner in last year’s calender as well, so I wish we would’ve gotten something different this year.

The second to last six items were the following: Face jewellery, eyeshadow blender (brush), mini nude nail polish, sparkle nail file, Juicy Bomb shiny lipgloss in 01 Proud Pitaya, and hair ties duo. I’m most interested in trying the lipgloss.

And the last six items in the calender were an eyeshadow shader (brush), caring lip balm, lash curler, mini fix & gloss top coat, brush cleansing tool, and a highlighter.

Overall, I think this was a very nice calender, and I think I’ll get use out of most of the items. I purchased a second beauty calender this year as well, which I’ll do a post on in the very beginning of the new year.

Christmas in an outfit

Merry Christmas! In Denmark we celebrate Christmas on the 24th (Christmas Eve), and I’m so excited about tonight. I just love Christmas so much! This is not the outfit I’m wearing tonight (I’ll post that in a few days), but this is what I wore Tuesday December 21, my last day at work before my Christmas holiday started. So I decided to go all out and wear this super cute and festive outfit.

Christmas Eve nails

I don’t think I’ve done a nail post like this in years, but I think my Christmas Eve nails turned out pretty cute. I’ve been doing festive nails all throughout December using nail stickers and glitter, and I think it adds something extra fun and Christmassy to an outfit.
