Sephora color pop-up store

For a while now, Illum, the lovely department store in the heart of Copenhagen, has had the make-up brand Sephora in its selection and I was thrilled when I saw that they had an Advent offer ... a Sephora color pop-up store for 330 DKK. So, of course, I could not resist and had to buy it since I was very curious and excited to try out all these different colours.

 

Here are some pictures of the box (with and without the packing):

 

 

I am sorry for the amateur pictures but I am an amateur photographer ;-)

Anyway, the box includes 64 different eyeshadows, 12 cream eyeliners, 6 eye top coats, 3 3-in-1 luminizers, 6 lip top coats, 48 lip glosses, 6 3-in-1 eye, lip and cheek creams and 3 blushes. All in all a very large range of colours and colours for everyone. I really like the box which includes also three applicators but unfortunately no description or something like that which states all the names and numbers of the colours. The colours can be used a few times, I guess at least 20 times, but after you have finished them up and you really like some colours that you would like to buy again, you do not really now the name and number of the colour. That is the only thing that bothers me.

Otherwise, I cannot wait to try the colours out :-)

 

 

a bit of nature...

 

Amager Fælled

 

Just a couple of pictures that I took this week during a walk through Amagerfælledparken. I already wrote about missing some nature living in the centre of Copenhagen, so therefore Amagerfælled is a little nice spot for me personally here in Copenhagen. Although I do not like the fact that you still can see all the tall buildings from Ørested etc. and hear the traffic noise. But it is a nice park for a Sunday afternoon walk.

 

gallery opening - Marius Budu

Last week, my friend Catalin invited me to a gallery opening event where he was taking pictures.
So I went to Galleri Krebsen situated in Studiestræde with one of my friends and we really liked the photographies by Marius Budu.
It was a lovely opening with a stunning performance by the handstand contortionist Julia Schmidt which was accompanied by Moa Karlsson on the cello (music written by William Smith who was there as well).
I was truely fascinated by Julia Schmidt. It is amazing how she can bend her body in every direction and express so much through that. Before I saw her, I had never really heard of contortionism but it is interesting art.

Catalin gave me some of the pictures he took, so I can use them for this post ... thank you very much, Catalin :-)

People who inspire me ... (part 1)

Feist

I decided to start this "people who inspire me..." series and the first person I want to praise is the singer-songwriter Leslie Feist, known as Feist to her fans :-)

 

I had known her for some time but I really discovered her only recently when I bought her latest album "metals" and fell in love with it. That was when I suddenly understood her music and her style. That was definitely a great moment for me. It is hard to describe but you simply need to listen to her music, preferably sitting on your window sill with a nice cup of tea and rainy weather outside.
