Here’s what I wore Friday August 11. I love the contrast between the black and the pastel colours, and I’m obsessed with the matching shoes and socks.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’ve worn looks like this many times before, but I feel that you can never go wrong with a brown/bronze/golden eye and a red lip.

Here’s what I wore Thursday August 10. This is one of my favourite outfits I wore in August. I think the red blazer and the blue and white striped trousers look great together. I feel like there’s a nautical vibe to the look, which I really like.

I got two more MAC eye shadows for my birthday, and my 15 pan palette is starting to look very nice. The shade in the top corner is Sable and it’s described as a gold-plum with bronze pearl and it’s a frost finish. I would say that it’s more of a brown shade than a gold-plum, but it’s beautiful either way. The shade in the bottom corner is Sumptious Olive and it’s described as a khaki with pearl and it’s a veluxe pearl finish. Most of my MAC eye shadows are either frost or veluxe pearl shadows, and I love these two finishes. I love these two colours too, and I’m looking forward to play around with them some more.
Here’s what I wore on my birthday Tuesday August 8. I celebrated the day with my nearest family, and it was a very lovely and relaxed day.

I can’t believe that the last summer month will be over by tomorrow. We have had varied weather in Denmark this past month, but with a nice summer day here and there. I don’t mind that autumn is approaching though; that just means that we are getting closer to December and Christmas! But we still have a couple of autumn months to go through, and also a couple more favourites posts, so let’s start with some August favourites.
Denim jacket: I’ve been loving this denim jacket since I started wearing it in the end of July. It goes with pretty much any outfit, and it’s been the perfect jacket for the warmer days we’ve had this past month.
Gosh nail varnish (shade: 589 Sweet Rose): In the beginning of the month I wore this pink nail varnish two weeks in a row, and I absolutely loved it. I also wore pink nails another week this month, so I guess I’ve just been really into pink nails.
Bodum travel mug: My birthday was in August and one of the things I got for my birthday was this travel mug. I had done some research on travel mugs (I knew I was going to spend a lot of time at uni writing my thesis), and this one was supposed to be one of the best ones, and it really is. It’s not leaking the slightest and it keeps the coffee warm for ages.
New Girl (TV series): I had thought about watching New Girl for a while, and I finally decided to give it a go in the beginning of the month, and I got hooked instantly. I finished the fifth season yesterday, and I’m really sad that there are no more seasons on Netflix at the moment. I don’t even know how to begin describing this show, but it’s so sweet and funny, and I absolutely love the characters. Every single one of them. So if you haven’t watched New Girl and you love sit coms, you should definitely give it shot.
It’s Time – Michael Bublé (album): Another birthday present I’ve been loving this month is this Michael Bublé album. I’ve been listening to it countless times, and it just makes me happy. I love all the songs on the album, and here’s just one of my favourites.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wore black liner for once which I rarely do, because it can easily make my eyes appear smaller than they already do, but I managed to make a thin line, so I think it looked okay.
(Base: primers – e.l.f. Blemish Control Face Primer + Wet n Wild CoverAll primer, foundation – Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless foundation (shade: 110 Porcelain), concealers – MAC Pro Longwear concealer (shade: NC20) + Maybelline Fit Me concealer (shade: 15), powders – Wet n Wild MegaGlo contouring palette in Dulce De Leche (highlight shade) + Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless pressed powder (shade: 90 Translucent). Face make-up: contour/bronzer – Benefit Hoola bronzer, blusher – MAC Nutcracker Sweet Peach Face Compact Extra Dimension blush in At Dusk, highlighter – MAC Nutcracker Sweet Peach Face Compact Extra Dimension skinfinish in Tutu. Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eye shadows – Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eye Shadow Collection (shades: White Chocolate + Milk Chocolate) + Sleek Storm eye shadow palette (shade: Snow Storm) + MAC Nylon eye shadow, mascara – Maybelline The Falsies Volum’ Express, eyeliners – Eyeko Eye Do liquid eyeliner in Carbon Black + Sephora Long lasting kohl pencil in 07 Infinite beige. Eyebrows – e.l.f. Clear Brow & Lash Mascara. Lips: NYX Slim lip pencil in Plush Red + MAC A Killing Smile lipstick)
Here’s what I wore Saturday August 5. A very simple T-shirt and jeans combo, but it’s my favourite T-shirt of all time and my favourite jeans at the moment, so I like it.
(Jeans – H&M, T-shirt – McBusted Tour 2014 T-shirt, sneakers – Adidas)
I’ve been loving pink nails lately, and this is what my nails looked like last week. I love an accent nail, and this glitter is so pretty, though very difficult to remove.
(Nail varnishes: Nail Paint by Barry M in 309 Strawberry I/C + By K glitter nail varnish (I can’t read the name))
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I had almost forgotten how amazing the NARS Audacious lipstick formula is. My lips sure stayed pink all day.
(Base: primers – e.l.f. Blemish Control Face Primer + Wet n Wild CoverAll primer, foundation – Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless foundation (shade: 110 Porcelain), concealers – MAC Pro Longwear concealer (shade: NC20) + Maybelline Fit Me concealer (shade: 15) + L’Oréal True Match concealer (shade: 1 Ivory), powders – Wet n Wild MegaGlo contouring palette in Dulce De Leche (highlight shade) + Rimmel Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed powder (shade: 001 Transparent).
