These are the make-up related presents I got for my birthday. The eye shadow is Satin Taupe by MAC. It was the MAC eye shadow I wanted the most, and it’s beautiful. The lipstick is the Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate lipstick in 109, and it’s a gorgeous matte muted orange.
Here’s what I wore on my birthday Saturday August 8. I had a very nice chill birthday, so I wore a very chill outfit:)
(Jeans – Topshop, T-shirt – McBusted Tour 2014 T-shirt, sneakers – Nike)
These are the last three items I bought in July (the month where I probably shopped a bit too much). I obviously couldn’t resist the Jurassic World top. It’s from H&M, and I love the simple print and colours. I also found a pair of sunglasses on sale at H&M that day, and I really like the black with the silver detail. The last item I bought that day was the Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara. I’d heard good things about it, and it does look really good on my lashes, but it transfers onto my eyelids and I find it a bit difficult to remove as well. It’s definitely not a bad mascara, but it doesn’t compare to the Maybelline The Falsies mascara (my favourite) in my opinion.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m horrible at doing winged liner, but I think it looks amazing, so I really want to get better. I usually make the liner to thick, but then I try to make it work anyways. I’m actually wearing black winged liner today, and I think it turned out better than in these pictures, but I also started over several times. I used tape as my guide line the day I wore this make-up look, but if you have any other tips for winged liner, I would love to know:)

Here’s what I wore Wednesday August 5. A simple outfit which I dressed up with some long necklaces, red lips, and braided hair.

I bought another pair of shoes last month. I’ve used my beloved grey Nike Air Max sneakers so much that I thought it was time to get a new pair. I was lucky enough to find these black ones on sale and in my size. I love the metallic accent which kind of changes colour in different lights and angles.
Here’s the make-up I wore Tuesday July 28. I wanted to try out the purple shades from my Sephora eye shadow palette, but they were not as pigmented as I had hoped for. I do like how the look turned out though; the pastel purples are really pretty too.

I think these are the last two items I bought in Copenhagen last month. I’ve been wanting to try the e.l.f. Lip Exfoliator for a long time, and I really like it. I’m using it a couple of times a week, and it leaves your lips soft and exfoliated. I also bought the e.l.f. Lip Primer & Plumper which I’d never heard of before. There’s a nude primer at one end that primes and somewhat conceals your lips, and a clear plumper at the other end. The plumper smells a bit strange (a bit like cinnamon and something else) and you get that tingeling sensation on your lips. I’ve only used this product once, but I think it kind of worked. I have to try it a few more times to figure out how I really feel about it.
Here’s the full outfit from my girl’s night out Saturday July 11. I didn’t have much time to get ready, because my friend and I had just come back from Copenhagen, but I love how this outfit turned out. I think the floral kimono and long necklaces dresses up the otherwise simple outfit.
(Jeans + kimono + necklaces – H&M, top – Sisters Point, wedges – Balzar)
Here’s a couple of detail pictures from an outfit I wore on a night out with two lovely girls. I’ll post the full outfit tomorrow.
