Here’s what I wore Monday April 27. I wanted to wear these three different black and white houndstooth pieces together and paired them with fuchsia tights to add a pop of colour to the look.

I don’t always buy fun, new make-up products that I haven’t tried before; sometimes I buy back-ups of my go-to products, and I buy make-up tools as well. I recently purchased the following back-ups; one of my new favourite foundations is the Maybelline Dream Urban Cover foundation, and I’ve almost used up my first one. The Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder in 001 Transparent is not actually a back-up, but I used to love this powder years ago, so I thought I would try it out again. I love EOS lip balms so I purchased a Whipped Vanilla Frosting scented one (I haven’t tried this particular scent before). The Real Techniques brush cleansing gel is another stable. And the L’Oréal Paradise Extactic mascara is my go-to mascara, and this one is in limited edition packaging, which I thought was cute. The L’Oréal Infaillable More Than Concealer concealer in the shade 322 Ivory is my favourite concealer, so I needed a back-up of that. And lastly, I bought a back-up of my favourite nail polish top coat from Rimmel. It’s the Nail Nurse Base & Top Coat.
In addition to the back-ups, I also came across the It’s Brush Hour brush holder from Essence and thought I would give it a try. I also purchased an eyeshadow brush from Essence.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This is definitely the most toned down/neutral look I wore that week, and even though I love bright colours, I also enjoy wearing something more neutral.

Here’s what I wore Friday April 24. I definitely felt like I was wearing PJs in this look; fancy PJs though.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wanted to play with my new yellow blush, and I have to say that I quite like the way it looks. Yellow blush is not as scary as you might think.

Here’s what I wore Thursday April 23. It was a really warm day and it almost felt like summer, so I was barefoot (I mean, I wasn’t wearing socks) for the first time this year. The summery weather didn’t last long though, but I really hope that I would come back very soon.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Since most of the outfit was black and white, I felt like I needed some colourful make-up, so I went with blue and pink to match the pops of colour on my T-shirt.

Here’s what I wore Wednesday April 22. The first time I wore this skirt, I dressed it up for date night. The second time I wore it I decided to dress it down, and I love it both ways.

I recently purchased a few different products in a sale (Danish department store), and I thought I would share them with you in this little haul. I purchased three products from MAC; the new Fix+ Magic Radiance, the Studio Chromagraphic pencil in NC15/NW20, and an eyeshadow in the shade L.E.S. Artiste. I’ve only used the new Fix+ once or twice so far, but I’m excited to use it more and see if it lives up to its claims of ultra-hydration and a boost of radiance. I purchased the Studio Chromagraphic pencil in the search for an alternative to my favourite nude eyeliner from Sephora which has sadly been discontinued. I haven’t tried out this pencil yet though. And adding the eyeshadow to my custom 15 pan eyeshadow palette from MAC completed my palette, which is very satisfying. Besides the three MAC products, I also bought the NYX Sweet Cheeks matte creamy powder blush in the shade Silence is Golden, which, as you can see, is a yellow blush. I thought it would be fun to experiment with yellow blush. And lastly, I decided to try one of the Sephora #lipstories lipsticks; this one is from the Barbie collaboration and it’s in the shade 26 Kick It!
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Another crazy, colourful make-up look, and I love it. I’m having so much fun doing my make-up these days.
