Here’s the make-up I wore with this wedding guest outfit. You know how much I love pink and red together, and since most of my look was pink, I had to wear a pop of red on the lips (and nails).

Here’s what I wore Saturday June 1. This was my second wedding guest look of the year. I’d had this dress hanging in my wardrobe for about two years, so I was very happy to finally wear it.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. A very glowy and shiny make-up look.

I can’t believe that it’ll be autumn by tomorrow – calender wise that is. We are having very nice summery weather in Denmark these days, so it doesn’t fell like autumn yet. However, I’m slowy beginning to get into a spooky season and Christmas season mood. August was another month of ups and downs on a personal level, but doing my make-up and getting ready in the morning in general is therapeutic to me, so all of my favourites this month are make-up or beauty related.
Makeup By Mario SoftSculpt serum bronzer (shade: Fair): I featured the Makeup By Mario SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer in my September 5 favourites post last year, and almost a year later I’m going to feature another Makeup By Mario SoftSculpt procuct. This is the liquid serum version, and it’s so so nice. The shade Fair is really fair, but it blends so easily and seamlessly, and it’s buildable. I’m just really enjoying this product.
NYX Buttermelt bronzers and blushes: I’m cheating a bit by grouping two products together here, but they’re the same line/formula, so I guess it works out. I’d heard such good things about the NYX Buttermelt bronzers and blushes, and they really are incredible. I want more shades of the blushes so bad.
Rimmel Kind & Free mascara (shade: 002 Brown Black): My biggest problem with mascaras is that most mascaras transfer and smudge on me, but this one from the Kind & Free line from Rimmel doesn’t. It’s not the most volumising mascara in the world, but it looks really nice on my lashes, and I love the brown black colour of it.
Huda Beauty Yo Glow Gingerbread Latte Enzyme Scrub: Here’s a skincare product I’ve been using for a while now that I’ve really enjoyed, so I thought it was time to feature it in a 5 favourites post. I try to use it a couple of times a week, and my skin always feels great after using this scrub. The scent was limited edition, but I love everything Christmassy.
KAYALI Eden Sparkling Lychee I 39 Eau De Parfum: I’d been wanting this scent ever since it launched, but it sold out quite quickly on Sephora’s website, so when it recently came back in stock, I purchased it right away. The KAYALI Eden Juicy Apple is one of my absolute favourite scents, so I had a feeling that I would love the Eden Sparkling Lychee as well, and I was so right; it smells delicious.
I have a collective haul to share with you today. It includes beauty, accessories, one piece of clothing, and one pair of shoes. Let’s begin with the beauty stuff.
I’m a huge Kayali fan, so I’m always excited when they launch a new scent. This is the Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar I 42 Eau de Parfum, and I always get the 10 ml bottle, because I wear my perfumes lightly. I love the Vanilla I 28 scent from Kayali, so I was excited about this one, but I have to say that I was a little disappointed, when I smelled it. It smells more floral than I thought and less sweet and candy like.
I featured the Sol de Janeiro Carioca Crush perfume mist in my July favourites post, and it’s a lovely, fruity scent.
And speaking of Sol de Janeiro, I really wanted the Cheriosa ’62 Eau de Parfum (50 ml), because I love the 62 perfume mist/body spray, and I got it in a set with the Brazilian Bum Bum cream (25 ml) for a really good prize. At the same website I also picked up the Buxom Serial Kisser plumping lip stain in Beso, which is a red shade.
Moving on to some more make-up. I featured the L’Oréal Glotion natural glow enhancer in 901 Fair Glow in my June favourites post, and I still love this product.
I love a glowy blush and the Maybelline Sunkisser blushes are really nice, so I picked up some more shades: 02 Uptown Glow, 08 Shades On, and 12 Summer In The City.
Another Maybelline product I really enjoy are the Superstay Vinyl Ink liquid lipsticks, and just look at these beautiful shades; 150 Striking, 155 Upbeat, and 170 Unafraid.
The Dior Forever Glow Maximizers are so beautiful, so I got another shade called 014 Rosy, which is a stunning blush on my skin tone.
I remember the Collection brand from when I briefly lived in England 10 years ago, and the Danish drugstore now carries the line, so I decided to try out the brand again.
This is the Collection cream bronzer in Shade 1 Bronze (the only shade). It’s a bit orangy.
This is the Collection Diamond Shine highlighter in Shine Bright 1, which looks like a dupe for the Fenty Beauty Diamond Bomb All Over Diamond Veil, but this one is dryer.
Some more products inspired by Fenty Beauty; it’s the Collection Gorgeous Glow sticks in Blush 1 and Highlight 2.
Collection is also inspired by Charlotte Tilbury. This is the Collection Filter Finish liquid blush light wand in 2 Peach Pleasure, and it’s actually quite pretty.
The Collection mini eyeshadow palette in Explorer Solar Voyage 3 and the Collection hydrating lipstick in Sweet Rose 28 are nothing special.
And now jewellery. This is a pair of beautiful earrings from Maanesten. They’re called Notus, and I’ve worn them quite a bit.
Here’s a bunch of cute jewellery pieces I got 15% off from H&M.
Did I buy another bow hair clip? Yes I did.
Is this my first straw hat? No, it’s not, but I didn’t have one with a tie. It’s also from H&M.
I already have this style of dress from H&M in blue, but it’s just such a good dress for hot summer days, so I got one in pink as well.
And lastly, a pair of Nike Cortex sneakers with my name written all over them. How could I not buy a pair of pink and red Nike Cortez!
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s always difficult to find a flattering light pink lipstick, but I don’t hate the colour of this one from Maybelline, and I love the formula.

Here’s what I wore Friday May 24. I guess I liked my belted dress look from the day before enough to put together another belted dress look the next day.
(Dress – COLLUSION, belt – Gina Tricot x Emili Sindlev, heels – Asos Design)
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. The outfit was very cute and feminine, so I decided to wear a slightly more intense and colourful make-up look for a bit of contrast.
