I have quite a large second hand haul to share with you. I’ve accumulated these items over the past month, and I’m really excited to style them (I’ve already worn a few pieces).

I’ve purchased four blazers from the same second hand store on the same day. The red checked one is slightly oversized, and I love the print and colours of it. The black and white blazer is oversized as well, and I love the black collar, bottons, and pockets. The navy and white one is quite unique. It’s a shorter more fitted blazer, and I think it’ll be fun to style. The last blazer is a greenish beige colour I think, and it’s a more ladylike style of blazer.

Just about a week ago I found this tulip print short sleeve shirt. I love to wear this kind of shirt in the spring and summer.

Sorry about the bad quality of the picture, but this is a very cute floral summer dress. I love that it has bottons all the way down, and I love the colour scheme. I think it’ll be a perfect easy throw on summer piece.

I don’t recall ever seeing a matching skirt and scarf set before, so I had to get it. I’m excited about styling these both together and separately.

I also bought another scarf. I love the colours and pattern of this one.

I always look at belts when I’m second hand shopping, and this is my latest belt find. I love the beige colour and the big square buckle.

I found two bags on the day I found the four blazers. The first one is a beautiful burgundy leather ladylike bag. I’ve been looking for this kind of bag for a while, and this one is so nice. I also found a corduroy bucket bag (which is originally from H&M), which I thought would come in handy.

Last but not least, I’ve purchased two pairs of shoes. I don’t find second hand shoes that I like very often, but I love these two pairs. Western boots have been trendy for a while know, and I got really excited when I found these brown ones. I love the length of the boots and the elongated toe. I also love the little black sandals. I think they’re very grandma chic, and how cute are the colour details around the cut-outs.

More blue please

Collective drugstore haul: Essence, Maybelline, e.l.f. and more

It’s time for another collective drugstore haul. I recently did a ‘first impressions’ post on the Essence G’Day Sydney eyeshadow palette, and I liked it so much that I bought the other two palettes in the series; Hello New York and Salut Paris. The Hello New York palette contains purple, blue, and grey shades, and the Salut Paris palette contains grey, pink, and mauve shades. I also bought the other shade of the Essence Matte Touch blushers (20 Berry Me Up!). A couple of products I had heard about and wanted to try out are the Maybelline City Bronzer (shade: 100 Light Cold) and the L’Oréal Infaillible More Than Concealer (322 Ivory). I haven’t tried the concealer yet, but so far I really like the bronzer. The lipliner is from NYX, and it’s in the shade Prune. I’m always looking for new purple lipliners. Lastly, I purchased a few back-ups of some of my go-to products; the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless foundation and the e.l.f. HD Undereye setting powder. I also purchased a new e.l.f. Complexion brush which is my favourite bronzer brush. My old one was falling apart, so I really needed a new one.

Here’s what I wore Friday March 29. How fun are these zebra print jeans! They make an otherwise really simple and casual outfit way more interesting.

First impressions: Essence G’Day Sydney eyeshadow palette

It’s time for another ‘first impressions’ post, and this time I’ve tested the Essence G’Day Sydney eyeshadow palette. The eyeshadows swatch very well, and the colours are beautiful, so I had high hopes for this palette.

Lige efter applikation

These first pictures were taken right after application of the eyeshadows. I don’t expect the most incredible quality from an affordable palette, but I was pleasantly suprised by the pigmentation of the eyeshadows. They blended out nicely, though some shades better than others (the matte dark brown shade required a bit more work). There was minimal fall out; only a little from the shimmer shades.

Efter ca. 10,5 timer

These pictures were taken after about 10,5 hours of wear (excuse my shiny skin), and apart from the fact the eyeshadows seem to have faded a tiny bit, they still look pretty good in my opinion. They eyeshadows were very easy to remove with regular eye make-up remover. All in all, I really like this palette, and I’ve used it quite a few times by now.

 

Bold eyes, bold lips

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Why wear either a bold eye or a bold lip when you can wear both at the same time.
