I’d been wanting these sneakers since last summer, but I didn’t want to pay the full price for them, so I was waiting for them to go on sale somewhere. I was lucky to find half off online on Black Friday, and I’m so happy that they’re finally mine. Now I’m just waiting for warmer weather so I can actually wear them.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I remember having a hard time deciding on a lip colour, because every colour goes with black, but when I’m in doubt I usually go with red.

Here’s what I wore Saturday November 12. There was a party at my dorm that night and I just felt like wearing jeans. It quickly became an all black outfit, because that just works every time.

I decided to write down my first impressions of the Benefit Roller Lash mascara the first time I wore it, so here goes.
It has a plastic brush which I didn’t know how I felt about initially, but I actually quite like the brush and find it easy to use. As you can see it gives your lashes both volume and length and it holds the curl well. It is fairly easy to remove from my eyelids without ruining my eye shadow, but I do find that it transfers a bit to the top part of my eyelid during the day which I obviously wish wasn’t the case. All in all I like this mascara, but I have to say I was a bit disappointed after all the hype. I guess I just expected something extraordinary. I’ll continue to use it, and maybe it will become better with time:)
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I took these pictures in the morning before I went to Uni, but the make-up lasted all day.

Here’s what I wore Friday November 11. I went to a Christmas party with a group of friends and I wanted to dress up a little bit, but not too much. I think this dress is perfect for those occasions, because it has a casual fit, but it’s still really pretty with the colourful rose print.
(Dress + clutch – H&M, ballerina flats – Vagabond)
I have another clothing haul for you and this time it’s an H&M one. I’d been looking at the red bomber before, but I wasn’t happy with the price, but when I found it on sale I had to have it. The sweatshirt wasn’t on sale, but as the huge Disney fan that I am I couldn’t resist it. The T-shirt is a bit tighter and shorter than I normally go for, but I had several outfit ideas in mind when I saw it, so I decided to give it a try. I love slacks (or dress trousers) and I thought these silver glitter ones would be perfect for festive occasions. I actually wore them at a family Christmas get-together, but I wasn’t able to take any outfit pictures.
Happy New Year! I hope you are all having a good start on 2017. Here’s what I wore last night. I had really been looking forward to wear this outfit and I loved it.

Another year has come to an end and I really can’t believe it. I had a lovely and relaxing Christmas, and I’m looking forward to see what 2017 will bring me. I hope you all have a wonderful night tonight; be safe and take care of each other. Let’s say proper goodbye to 2016 with some December favourites.
Christmas jumpers: My favourite clothing items this December has been my Christmas jumpers. I’ve been wearing them 3-4 times a week (and everyday the week leading up to Christmas) and I’ve been feeling very festive.
MAC powder blush in Desert Rose: During winter I love wearing deeper blushers, because it looks very pretty and fresh on pale skin, and this MAC one has been my go-to.
Rimmel 60 seconds Super Shine nail polish (shade: 514 When I Grow Up): This past year I’ve worn mainly neutral shades on my nails, and this taupe bronze colour is stunning. I wore it for two weeks straight in the beginning of December.
The Christmasaurus – Tom Fletcher: I had this book on my wishlist for Christmas, but I already got it on my gift advent calendar in the beginning of December. I finished reading it a few days ago and I loved it. Even though it’s a children’s novel it’s such a lovely Christmas story.
The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot – Nat King Cole: My favourite Christmas song this year is a new discovery (though it’s an old song). It’s one of the saddest Christmas songs I’ve ever heard, but also one of the most beautiful ones.
Like many other MAC enthusiasts I was really excited about the MAC Mariah Carey collection, and I decided to get two lipsticks and a blusher. As you can see the packaging is absolutely gorgeous; the silver glitter with the pale gold is just beautiful.
The blusher I picked up is You’ve Got Me Feeling which is a light candy pink. I chose this one because I don’t really have any bright pink blushers.
I picked up two of the lipsticks because look at that packaging! All the shades in this collection are very neutral which is normally not something I go for, but that’s exactly why I thought it would be fun to try out a couple of shades.
The first shade I got is Dahhlinggg which is a light peachy pink shade. I decided to get this shade because I have nothing like it in my collection. It’s my first Cremesheen finish lipstick from MAC, and I haven’t worn it yet, so I’m excited to see how pigmented or sheer it is on the lips.
The second lipstick I got is All I Want which is a champagne shimmer. I got this partly because of the name, but also because I’ve been loving frosty/metallic lips lately. I have worn this lipstick once so far and I actually really liked it. It’s a bit sheer so I wore a lipliner underneath. I think it would be a beautiful lip topper as well.
