Here’s what I wore Thursday September 15. This was the last real ‘summer’ day we had in Denmark, and it’s funny to think about that only a month ago the weather was still warm, especially because it has become really cold outside.

It’s time for another ‘first impressions’ post, and this time it’s on the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless foundation. First a few words on the packaging. As you can see it’s in a tube so you squeeze out the product. I always find this kind of packaging a bit messy, but if the product is good I can live with it. Now, about the actual product; it’s a liquid formula and I applied it with a make-up sponge. The coverage is good and it has a matte finish as it claims. It says it’s for normal to oily skin which I agree with. I have pretty normal skin, and it’s still a bit dry (due to the matte finish). I’m wearing the lightest shade in the range which is 110 Porcelain, and I think it’s a quite good colour match. I wore the foundation for about 13 hours when I first tried it out, and it looked pretty decent at the end of the day (I don’t expect my foundation to look incredible after 13 hours). So far I’m neither loving nor hating this product, but these are only my first impressions, so I’m looking forward to see how I feel about it after I’ve worn it a few more times.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I was afraid that the Jeffree Star Velour liquid lipstick in Blow Pony would be too light on me, but I absolutely love it! It’s such a cool colour. I also love how my highlighter is popping in these photos.

Here’s what I wore Wednesday September 14. As you can tell by the outfit the weather was amazing that day, and I really like this summery black and white look.

Here’s the make-up I wore Tuesday September 13. Even though I love bright colourful make-up, and I also love to wear something really soft and pretty.

Here’s a few clothing items I purchased a couple of weeks ago from H&M that I thought I would show you. I’ve been obsessed with bomber jackets lately, and I’ve been trying on this pink satin one before, and I’m so glad I finally decided to buy it. The khaki green shoulderless top was on sale, and I thought it was really cute and appropriate for this season because of the colour (not so much the shoulderless part). Lastly, I bought a scarf. I only ever wear scarfs outdoors when it’s cold, and I needed a scarf that was not too thick or warm to wear now before it gets too cold outside. I found this black and white one that I thought would go with all my different jackets and coats, and I have already used it quite a bit.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I finally got around to wear the LA Splash Studioshine lip lustre in Catrina, and even though it crumbled on my lips when I tried to touch up, I still think the colour is incredible.

Here’s what I wore Monday September 12. Are you tired of seeing this blue bomber yet? I actually haven’t worn it the past couple of weeks, but maybe I should wear it again soon:) Btw, the weather was great that week and the next two outfits I’m going to post are even more summery than this one.

I’m finally the happy owner of a YSL lipstick. I’ve been wanting a YSL Rouge Volupté Shine lipstick for years now, and finally this beauty is mine. This lipstick formula is sheer and creamy, and I chose the shade 29 which is a neutral red shade that makes your lips look pretty and plump.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Of course I had to wear a red lip to match the blazer and for the rest of my face the keyword was glow.
