Blue pop

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m loving this blue mascara from NYX; it’s such an easy way to add some colour to your eyes if you don’t wanna bother spending to much time on eye shadow. I’ve worn the mascara with a nude lip a couple of times, but I think it looks beautiful paired with a red lip as well.

Plaid dress

Here’s what I wore Tuesday April 12. I think this plaid dress is really cute, and I love how it’s very casual, but still feminine.

Bluish-grey lips

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Like with my outfit I went with a black and grey make-up look. It’s not very often that I do winged liner, because I’m not very good at it, but I thought it suited the bluish-grey lips.

Graphic top, blazer and jeans

DSC_9061rediDSC_9060redi

Here’s what I wore Monday April 11. In my opinion you can never go wrong with a graphic top paired with a blazer and jeans. Especially so if you go with colours like black, white and grey.

More NYX lippies

DSC_9049DSC_9052

A little while after I recieved these NYX products, a bought a few more lip products in store. The NYX Matte lipsticks are some of the best matte lipsticks I’ve tried. They’re really pigmented and creamy and they’re really comfortable on the lips: not drying at all. I picked up the shades Euro Trash which is a brown nude and Aria which is a purple berry shade. I also picked up the only Slide On, Glide On, Stay On & Definitely A Turn On Waterproof, Extreme Color lip liner (yes, the name is that long) there was left in store and it’s in the shade Dark Soul. It thought it would be a good match for this NYX soft matte lip cream.

Transylvania

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love a dark lip with a black/white outfit. I’m wearing the NYX soft matte lip cream in Transylvania, and I love the colour, but I needed to apply a couple of layers to build up the colour.

(Eye make-up: Maybelline Color Tattoo in Créme De Rose 91, eye shadows – the Balm Nude’tude eye shadow palette (shades: Sultry + Stubborn + Sexy + Sleek) + MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Warm Rose on browbone, mascara – Maybelline The Falsies Volum’ Express, eyeliner – Sephora Long lasting kohl pencil in 07 Infinite beige. Lips: Rimmel Universal Transparent Lipliner in 001 Universal + NYX soft matte lip cream in Transylvania)

A lot of white

DSC_9031DSC_9032DSC_9033

Here’s what I wore Friday April 8. I don’t think I’ve ever worn this much white in one outfit, but pretty much ever since I bought the Jurassic World top I’ve been wanting to pair it with these white jeans, and I love how the outfit turned out.

5 favourites – April

Yet another month has come to an end and we’re moving into the last official month of spring (I’m still waiting for the spring weather though). I want to enjoy May, because June will once again be all about exams. But let’s not talk about that right now. Instead, let’s talk about some things I’ve really enjoyed in the month of April.

DSC_9226

Maybelline Color Tattoo 24HR Creamy Mattes gel-cream eyeshadow (shade: Crème De Rose 91): Back in November I compared this Color Tattoo to my beloved MAC Paint Pot in Painterly and found out that they were very similar, but I continued to use Painterly almost every day. This past month I would say I rediscovered this Color Tattoo and I’ve been really enjoying it. I still grab my Painterly Paint Pot more often, but I do really like this cheaper alternative.

Urban Decay Naked 2 eyeshadow palette: I’ve only been using this palette the second half of the month, but it has still been my favourite eye shadow palette this month. As I mentioned here I’d been craving this palette for years, and it really is an amazing product.

NYX Highlight & Contour Pro Palette: Another palette I’ve been loving all throughout the month is this highlight and contour palette. I’ve especially been using the four middle shades (Soft Light, Cream, Toffee and Sculpt) a ton.

Gosh Groovy Grey neglelak

Gosh Special Edition nail polish (shade: 003 Groovy Grey): As much as I love colour (in any aspect of my life) there’s something about neutral nail polishes that I can’t resist. This shade is a mix between a nude and a grey, and I love it. I love it so much that I wore it two weeks in a row in the beginning of April.

25 – Adele (album): I’ve always thought Adele was a great singer, but her music never really caught my attention. That’s until she released her 25 album. This album is full of beautiful songs, and if I had to choose a favourite, it would be All I Ask. So amazing!

Medium deep red

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s not that often that I wear a medium deep red lip, but I think this colour is really beautiful.

(Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eye shadows – the Balm Nude’tude eye shadow palette (shades: Sultry + Selfish) + MAC All That Glitters eye shadow + MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Lightscapade on browbone, mascara – Maybelline The Falsies Volum’ Express, eyeliner – Sephora Long lasting kohl pencil in 07 Infinite beige. Lips: Urban Decay Gwen Stefani 24/7 Glide On lip pencil in 714 + Maybelline Colorsensational Matte lipstick in 970 Daring Ruby)

Still sweater weather

Here’s what I wore Thursday April 7. As you can see even though we’re in April it’s still sweater weather. I wish it would get a lot warmer very soon.
