Sephora and Topshop haul

I went to Copenhagen earlier this week, which is the only place in Denmark where we have a Sephora. I've been to Sephora many times when I'm travelling, but this was my first time in the Danish Sephora so I was quite exited to see how big a range of products they would have, since it's only a counter in the department store Illum. Fortunately, the Sephora section was fairly large, and they carried all the brands we can't buy anywhere else in Denmark.
I had already set my mind on two things, I would definitely check out at Sephora, but was not sure if I were to buy them both, since they are not the cheapest products, but I ended up coming home with both, and I'm sooo happy I did. It's the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette and the Make Up For Ever HD foundation.



I haven't tried the Naked 2 palette just yet, but I can't wait!! All of the shades look so lovely and I've seen so many people rave about this product, so I'm convinced it will be a favourite once I start using it. The palette includes a double-ended full size brush with a crease and shadow brush and it also included a sample size of the Urban Decay Lip junkie cools and plumps lipgloss.

The Make Up For Ever HD foundation is also one of those products I've heard people rave about for such a long time, and I was really exited to try it on. One of the Sephora sales persons helped me pick the right color, and I ended up with the color N130. I've only tried the full foundation once, and I'm really impressed! It gives a light to medium coverage I would say, but I'm used to using the Clinique Supermoisture foundation, which gives a very light coverage, so the HD foundation to me gives a slightly more polished look, without being too much. I think that this foundation could be my new favourite, and I'm so exited to try it again :-)

I bought one more thing at Sephora (although I could have used all of my money there, I'm sure!): A Sephora brand coconut creamy body wash. I've had this product before and I love the smell of it!

I also went to Topshop and Urban Outfitters, where I bought some lip products. This first one is a lipstick from Topshop, and I just love their lipsticks! They are a really good quality and at the same time very affordable. This one is in the color Rumour Has It.

I also bought a lip marker at Topshop, and I think it is meant to be a lip liner, but I use it all over my lips and finishes with a clear lip gloss, which I think gives a beautiful summer look. The color I got it in is an orangy-red color, and I think the name of it is Hot Shot.

In Urban Outfitters I only bought a Carmex lip balm, but I'm really happy with it since it smells nice of cherries, it adds shine to my lips and at the same time it moisturises AND it has SPF 15, which is always a good thing! And then it only cost about 4.71 euros.

These are the beauty and makeup products I bought in Copenhagen. Not too much, but there are definitely some future favourites in this photo :-)
