Outfit Of The Day: Flowers, Studs & Denim

 Hey Everyone :-)
Hope you are having a great day. Today, I'm wearing my new sweater that I recently received from Imomoi. I decided to pair it with my favorite denim shorts from Vila, and my studded boots from Din Sko which I'm totally obsessed with by the way. You might have seen them (and the denim shorts), in a bunch of my outfit posts already. I just love them :-) 

 What I'm Wearing:
Sweater from Imomoi.
Denim Shorts from Vila.
Boots from Din Sko.
Sunglasses from H&M.  

Ring from eBay. 

I'm loving this look! It's very casual, comfortable and super cute. These are the type of looks I go for, whenever I'm going shopping or have a bunch of errands to run. It's just an easy, quick and comfortable look, but it's still cute at the same time :-)

I'm loving my new rose printed sweater from Imomoi. It's got a pretty rose design with tiny silver treads, which makes it look all sparkly and pretty. It's also got that distressed look, which I have been loving a lot lately. It's super comfortable and lightweight, which makes it a wonderful piece for summer :-)

Violet Moon ($11.00 for 0.5 oz.) is a creamy lilac-grey. It's very easy and smooth to apply, and I didn't have any problems with it looking streaky or patchy on my nails. It dries quickly, and it's opaque in one-two coats (I used two). It's such a gorgeous shade, and it looks very flattering on the nails as well. I'm a huge fan of Violet Moon, and it's a wonderful shade for Fall and Winter :-)

Age Of Aquarius ($11.00 for 0.5 oz.) is a dark turquoise blue. It's goes on very smooth, and it's so easy to work with. It's a little sheer on the first coat, so you definitely need a few coats for it to look nice and opaque on your nails. It dries quickly, and it's fully opaque in two-three coats ( I used two). Age Of Aquarius is a very beautiful, bright and fun shade for the summer, and I have a feeling that this is going to be one of my new favorite nail polish for summer :-)

 ♥ a.dorn Nail Paint in Tequila Mockingbird. 

Tequila Mockingbird ($11.00 for 0.5 oz.) is a fuschia duochrome. It's got a unique duochrome of pink and purple. It's a beautiful rich purple from one angle, and a fuschia-deep pink from another. It's smooth and easy to work with, and it didn't look streaky on my nails either. It's a little sheer on the first coat, so you need a few coats for it to look opaque. It dries quickly, and it's nice and opaque in two-three coats (I used two).

Tequila Mockingbird has a sweet-fruity scent, which Violet Moon and Age Of Aquarius don't have. If you are a fan of darker shades, I highly recommend that you check this one out. It's such a pretty Fall and Winter shade :-) 

♥ a.dorn Nail Paint in Tequila Mockingbird. 

 Overall, I really like these shades from a.dorn. They go on so smooth and so easy, and they are fully opaque in two-three coats. I like all three shades, but my favorite has to be Age Of Aquarius. It's such a stunning shade, and I have a weakness for turqouise nail polishes. I highly recommend that you check it out, it's a real beauty and a perfect summer shade :-)

♥ You like turquoise, purple and lilac-grey shades.

MUA Makeup Academy Power Pout Color Intense Tint & Balm in Rendezvous: Review, Photos & Swatches

♥ MUA Makeup Academy Power Pout Color Intense Tint & Balm in Rendezvous. 

Description:

Available in six rich bold shades from chic nude ‘Rendez Vous’ to deep rich rasberry ‘Broken Hearted’, our new colour intense lip tints will ensure your lips will look good enough to kiss! MUA Power Pout is a lip treatment with colour intensity that relieves dry, cracked lips providing immediate moisturisation. The handy pencil-style applicator provides easy to apply sheer soft lip colour and rolls up for easy use. Ensure you have the most kissable lips this spring and kisses they will remember forever.  

My Thoughts:

MUA Makeup Academy Power Pout Color Intense Tint & Balm in Rendezvous (£3.00 for 12M.) is a pretty pinky-nude tinted balm stain. It's very easy to apply, and it feels very soft and smooth on my lips. The pigmentation is wonderful and it's moisturizing, which is perfect if you are battling dry lips like myself. It gives my lips a nice tint of color, and a pretty and glossy look. 

It has that same minty scent and taste like most type of tinted balm stains (Tarte LipSurgence Natural Lip Lusters and Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains) have. It also has a cooling effect, which I find kind of refreshing. It last a while on my lips, before I have to re-apply it again.

Rendezvous comes in a brown and silver tube. It has a twist up mechanism at the bottom of the tube, so you don't need to sharpen or waste any product. I absolutely love this, because we all know how messy it can be to sharpen these type of products. The shade of the balm isn't the exact same shade as the tube, so keep that in mind before you order online. I highly recommend that you look up swatches online first, so you won't get disappointed when you receive it.  

Overall, I highly recommend this MUA Power Pout in Rendezvous. The shade is gorgeous, pigmented and it's a wonderful everyday shade. If you are a neutral lip product kind of girl, I'm sure you are going to love this as much as I do. It's great little lip product to just pop in your handbag for touch ups :-)

Youngblood Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow Quad in Eternity: Review, Photos & Swatches

♥ Youngblood Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow Quad in Eternity. 

Description:

Use your eye-magination! Four complementary shades come in a sleek, mirrored compact for limitless looks. The formula sweeps on like silk and wears for hours. Each compact includes matte, pearl and shimmery finishes that blend together easily. 

My Thoughts:

The Youngblood Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow Quad in Eternity (477NOK/$43.00 for 0.14 oz/4 g.) comes with four, neutral and beautiful eyeshadows called Quartz, Silken, Mink and Spice. They are super soft, smooth and easy to work with. They are very easy to blend, and the color payoff is wonderful. The eyeshadows are not too powdery, so they are not going to give you a lot of fallout :-)

The eyeshadows come in this black and sleek quad, with a decent sized mirror inside. You also get a little sponge tip applicator which I normally don't use, but it can be quite handy if you are going to travel and you don't want to take a bunch of makeup brushes with you. I really like that the name of each eyeshadow is on the back of the quad, because some quads don't have that and I find it to be a bit annoying.   

♥ Quartz - a champagne pink.

♥ Silken - a peachy pink
♥ Mink - a pretty gold.
♥ Spice - a medium brown with hints of golden shimmer. 

 ♥ Youngblood Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow Quad in Eternity.

Overall, I really like this eyeshadow quad from Youngblood. The eyeshadows are very beautiful, pigmented and easy to work with. I'm such a sucker for neutral eyeshadows, so this quad is right up my alley :-)
