Foolish of me to end up buying two black things. But hey, at least they're different than the black things I already have! All the things are from H&M.

New in: clothes.
Before I went to visit my mum in Copenhagen for two weeks last month, I decided to treat myself a little. My wardrobe only consists of black t-shirts, black jeans, a few white t-shirts and a single gray tank top, so I figured I needed to freshen it up a bit for spring and summer.

New in: nail polish.
I'm still not done showing you the stuff I bought while I was in England. I admit I did a little too much shopping, but hey, it's alright to go nuts once in a while.
One of the shops in England that I really like is Boots. I love walking around in there, looking at all their products and things they sell. I could spend hours in Boots!
And I did end up buying something in there, once only, which I'm actually proud of. Not too much money spent, even though I'd love to own the Real Technique brushes.

I ended up buying three nail polishes. I just love nail polishes and you rarely ever see me without it. Two of these are from the brand Models Own and they're even scented! Well, you can't actually smell it when you're wearing the nail polish, but I thought the colours were cute for summer. The last one's from Maybelline and is from the collection Color Show. It's a dark red colour with a lot of shimmer in it.
So far I've only worn the purple one, but I can't wait to try the others!

New in: books.
It's no secret that I have a thing for books. And there's this little book store in Bristol on Park Street where they sell books for only £2 each! I found it last time I was there and of course I went a bit nuts in there both back then and this time.
I just love walking around in a book store to look at all the books, or stand with one in my hand, reading on the back and a few pages inside, so I know whether or not it's good.
To catch my interest, a book has to have a catchy title, something that gets my attention. It also has to have a cover that looks exciting and at the same time tells a bit about what the book's about, in some way (but that's not necessary). And it has to have good reviews on the back, if it doesn't, I won't open it up to look inside and I'll just move on to the next book that catches my interest. Finally it has to be written in a good way from beginning to end - that's why I like to read a bit on the first page(s), a bit of the middle and one of the last pages (but never the last!) of the book.
This time I brought four books home with me. Three of them just because they looked and sounded interesting to me, and the fourth because I had heard so much about the author and his books that I just HAD to buy it.
I'll write reviews of the books that I find interesting enough to review.
John Green - The Fault In Our Stars.
Rachel Hore - The Glass Painter's Daughter.
Tom Rob Smith - Child 44.
Roberta Rich - The Midwife Of Venice.

New in: The Body Shop.
I've never bought anything from The Body Shop myself before. Why? Well, I actually don't know. Maybe it's because I usually feel nauseous whenever I step into one of their stores because of all the strong smells coming at you at once. I have a very sensetive nose, so a lot of very strong smells at once is pretty overwhelming for me. I don't like perfume stores either and I usually avoid wearing perfume, unless it's a special occation.
But in Bristol I got dragged into a The Body Shop store, and luckily the smells in there weren't too bad, so I found myself smelling some of their products. I found one that just smelled so lovely, but I didn't have any money at me at that time. So when I couldn't get into the aquarium, I went on a bit of a shopping spree alone, and I ended in The Body Shop, where I bought a few products.
I ended up buying three products, because they were all on sale: a body butter, a shower gel and a lip roll-on.
Raspberry Body Butter - £5.
Raspberry Shower Gel - £3.
Berry Natural Lip Roll-On - £4.
All the products just smell so amazing that I had to buy them. If you like a berry/fruity smell that's still light and summer-ish, I'd definitely recommend these products!

New in: MAC.
When you visit the airport in Copenhagen, you always have to look around in the tax free shop. But all I wanted to look at was all the MAC make-up, when I was there a few weeks back. They have a little stall in the airport, not too big, but there are still plenty of products. I looked mostly at the lipsticks and the eyeshadows, and I ended up buying one of each.
The eyeshadow is called Naked Lunch, and it's this nude beige colour, with some golden shimmer in it. I really like it, because I kinda needed a pretty eyeshadow that wasn't too much, but still propriate for parties and stuff. And Naked Lunch is just perfect for that, but also for the everyday look - I'm probably not wearing that a lot, since MAC's too expensive for me to just use up really quickly, haha.
The lipstick is called Rebel, and it's a violet shade with a splash of pink in it. It's dark, but not too dark, and since I love almost anything purple/violet, I thought it was just perfect for me. It looked so pretty that I just had to have it - and both me and Cille wore it for the Pierce The Veil gig in London!
For me it's only something I'd wear to a party, because I like wearing different shades on my lips to parties, something you don't usually see as a lipstick colour. But I never wear any lipstick besides at special occations such as parties or gigs, so yeah. If you do like taking a risk, it is suitable for the everyday look, because it's not too much.

Drive.
So, as I told you, I bought this liquid lipstick in the Lush store in Bristol, called Drive. And to be honest I absolutely adore it.
It's purple, but it's not something you notice too much. It has a bit glitter in it, but again not too much, just as I like it. I wore it at our last night out in Bristol, which was amazing, and it didn't go off, despite the fact that I was really drunk. Lush lipsticks are really good in general, Cille also bought one in pink, and that doesn't come off too easily either. Which suits me perfectly.
I'm staring to think that I have a slight obsession with the colour purple. I now have a lipgloss and a liquid lipstick of that colour and I just got a pair of purple jeans from Cille. I just really like purple, okay? Yet I still have no idea if it suits me or not, haha.

Impulse shopping.
Today I went to the dentist to get the rest of my root canal treatment done. I was pretty nervous, because one of my tooth has gone blue/grey-ish, which means that my dentist didn't remove all of my nerves last time, and I've never tried root canal treatment before, so I wasn't sure if it'd hurt or not. It luckily didn't.
And I'm gonna get my teeth bleached when I come home from England, because that might make the color disappear.
So when I was on my way home, I was supposed to just take the train directly home, but I accidentally layed my eyes on a Matas (makeup store). So I of course went in and ended up buying a few things.
Ridge filler for nails | €13,40
Mascara | €18,64
Depend purple nailpolish w/ cracked effect | €5,36
Sally Hansen base & top coat | €11,39
