Here’s what I wore Thursday October 13. I love this outfit. I’ve said it before but that black bomber is one of my absolute favourite pieces of clothing; it just goes with everything.

My beloved Maybelline The Falsies mascara has sadly been discontinued, so I’m on the hunt for a new favourite mascara. When I received this MAC sample with an online purchase, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to try it out and see if I liked it.
Right off the bat I have to say I really like this mascara. I think it looks great on my lashes and it layers well (I’m wearing two coats on my top lashes). It has a bristle brush which I like and it is very black as you can see in the pictures. It was somewhat easy to remove from my eyelids without ruining my eye shadow and there was minimal transfer. All in all a very good mascara in my opinion and I might consider buying the full size some time.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. A simple cool-toned neutral look. As much as I love bright colourful lipsticks I find a grey-toned lipstick like the one I’m wearing in these pictures very beautiful as well.

Here’s what I wore Monday October 10. I hadn’t had a denim shirt in a while, so when I found this one during my summer holiday I thought it was about time I got myself a new one. It’s such an easy piece to style; it goes with almost everything.

I’m always excited about MAC’s Holiday collections, and this year I was not disappointed. The packaging is absolutely gorgeous, and the products are beautiful, so I thought I would show you what I decided to pick up from this year’s collection.
Obviously I had to have one of the lipsticks, and I chose this beautiful deep purple shade called Leap of Delight. It has a matte finish, and I love how it matches the packaging.
I also decided to get one of the Magic Dust powders. I chose the shade Yum Yum Yum which is a pretty pink with gold shimmer. It looks beautiful on the skin, and look at the stars in the actual powder! So gorgeous.
Lastly, I had to get my hands on one of the face compacts. Even though the Copper one was the most hyped one (do to the fact that the highlighter in it is the popular Whisper of Gilt) I decided to get the Peach one because it contains the lighter shades. I wouldn’t say that there’s anything peach about it, but I love it none the less. The Extra Dimension Skinfinish (highlighter) is called Tutu and the Extra Dimension Blush is called At Dusk and both powders are stunning.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’ve been wearing a lot of dark lips lately, and this one actually looks even darker in real life. That’s one of the things I love about autumn; wearing beautiful dark lipsticks.

Here’s what I wore Thursday October 6. Sometimes I just fell like wearing something super simple and comfortable.

As I mentioned here, I’m going to share my first impressions on the Maybelline Master Strobing Stick with you, so here goes. As far as I know this product comes in two shades; I have the lighter one which is 100 Light Iridescent. As I wrote in the haul, I’m not that used to wearing cream highlighters, but this seemed like a very easy and quick product to use which it is. I’ve only worn on bare skin so far (not on top of foundation) and it applied very easily. I applied it straight from the stick and blended it out with my fingers which worked very well. All in all it’s very easy to use and it looks beautiful on the skin. It gives a more natural highlighted look compared to many powder highlighters, but for days where you want to wear natural and minimal make-up this product is great. I’m sure you are able to use it as a base for your powder highlighters as well to make you highlighter pop even more.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I decided to go with all grey for my make-up to match the grey (and blue) outfit.

Here’s what I wore Wednesday October 5. I thought it would be interesting to put together a look only of different shades of blue and grey and I like it.
