5 favourites – January

Posted on January 31, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

The first month of 2016 has come to an end. January has been pretty much the same since I started at Uni. I think this year January has been particulary tough; I had three exam and no holiday because my new courses started last Monday. I’m really tired of the stormy, rainy weather, and I’m in general really looking forward to spring. But we have one more official month left of winter, and I hope it’s going to be a good one. Before jumping into the last winter month, here’s some of my favourite things from January.

Sorte natbukser m. snefnug

Black pyjama bottoms with snowflakes from H&M: I bought these pyjama bottoms the same day that I bought these items, and they came in really handy, when I fell ill while I was writing an exam paper. They are the most comfortable thing I own and they’re so warm.

MAC eye shadow in All That Glitters: This is one of the eye shadows I got for Christmas and I have been wearing it a ton. Most times I’ve been wearing it together with my MAC Satin Taupe eye shadow which has been my go-to eye shadow look this month.

Sleek palet åben 2

Sleek Face Form contouring and blush palette – bronzer/contour shade: I rediscovered the bronzer/contour shade in this little Sleek palette. I haven’t had much time to do my make-up this month, and I definitely didn’t have time to both contour and bronze, and this powder is the perfect in-between.

bourne

The Bourne trilogy (films): Earlier this month I watched The Bourne trilogy with my dad. I’ve been wanting to watch these films for a while, and I thought they were great. They’re the kind of films where you have to pay attention to keep up, but that’s usually what makes a film interesting.

Come Away With Me – Norah Jones (album): I got this album for Christmas (it was on my wishlist) and it’s pretty much the only thing I’ve been listening to in January. There’s not one song on the album that I don’t like. It’s from 2002, but I think it’s timeless if you like this kind of music.

A few new clothing items

Sort skjortebluse m. hvidt paisley mønster - Gina Tricot Rustrød rullekrave top - Gina Tricot Sort højtaljet nederdel - H&M

I bought these clothing items a couple of weeks back, and I think they’ll look great together and separately. The black and white blouse and the turtleneck top are from Gina Tricot and the skirt is from H&M. I’m really looking forward to style these items.

Cold week

Posted on January 26, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s what I wore Monday January 18. Last week was very cold, so I wore my winter boots a lot. It’s a bit warmer this week which is very nice. I wish it got a lot warmer soon though.

MAC lip haul

Posted on January 24, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

I purchased some lip products from MAC earlier this month, and I thought it was about time that I showed them to you.

First off I purchased the lipstick in collaboration with Dita Von Teese which was an online exclusive product. It’s called Von Teese and it’s a matte tomato red. Both the sleek black packaging and the lipstick itself has her signature one it which is such a nice touch.

I finally puchased the lip pencil in Talking Points which is a hot pink. I’ve been swatching this lip pencil countless times at my local MAC counter, and I’m so happy it’s finally mine.

Lastly I purchased this Look In A Box lip kit in Fashion Lover. I found it in the section of products that will soon be out of stock, and it contained two lip products I had on my wish list; Flat Out Fabulous lipstick and Heroine lip pencil. It also contained a lipglass in the shade Rhytm. Flat Out Fabulous is described as a bright plum and it has a retro matte finish. Heroine is a bright purple, and Rhytm is very close in colour to Flat Out Fabulous. I’m really excited about all these lip products, and I’m sure you’ll see them on my lips on the blog in the future.

Purple lips

Posted on January 22, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m really into purple lips at the moment, and I’m actually wearing the same lipstick as I’m wearing in these pictures today. To be honest I actually think I’m wearing the exact same make-up look today.

(Base: primer – Max Factor Facefinity All Day primer, foundation – L’Oréal True Match foundation (shade: 1.5 N Lin/Linen), concealers – MAC Pro Longwear concealer (shade: NC20) + L’Oréal True Match concealer (shade: 1 Ivory), powders – Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit Light to Medium (shades: Vanilla + Banana) + Rimmel Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed powder (shade: 001 Transparent). Face make-up: contour/bronzer – Sleek Face Form Contouring and Blush palette, blusher – MAC Mineralize blush in Modest Blush, highlighter – MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Lightscapade. Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eye shadows – MUA Ever After matte eye shadow palette (shades: Bare + Fade) + MAC eye shadows (shades: Satin Taupe + All That Glitters) + MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Lightscapade on browbone, mascara – Maybelline The Falsies Volum’ Express, eyeliner – Sephora Long lasting kohl pencil in 07 Infinite beige. Lips: Rimmel Universal Transparent Lipliner in 001 Universal + MAC Evening Rendezvous lipstick)

Comfy and warm

Posted on January 21, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s what I wore Thursday January 7. I’ve been busy with my exams this month (I have my last one tomorrow) so I’ve only taken pictures of a few of my outfits so far, and this is one of them. It’s been really cold in January, and this outfit was really comfy and warm.

True match vol. 2

Posted on January 20, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

True Match 1

I recently bought the new L’Oréal True Match foundation, because I had heard good things about it. I wasn’t so keen on the original one, but I thought I would give this one a go. I got the shade 1.5 N which is a good match for me. I had the old one in shade 1, and it was too light and too pink on me. So far I like this new version of the True Match foundation better than the old one, but I’ve still tried foundations I like more. It’s a very glowy foundation, so if you don’t like glowy skin, this is not for you. I happen to be really into glowy skin at the moment, so I like that about it. I also repurchased the L’Oréal True Match concealer in shade 1 which I love for my under eye area.

Subtle but pretty

Posted on January 19, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore Monday December 28. It was the first time I wore my new MAC eye shadows, and as you can see they’re very subtle but pretty. I think they look great paired with the muted orange lip.

(Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eye shadows – MUA Ever After matte eye shadow palette (shade: Fade) + MAC eye shadows (shades: All That Glitters + Mythology) + the Balm Mary-Lou Manizer on browbone, mascara – Maybelline The Falsies Volum’ Express, eyeliner – Sephora Long lasting kohl pencil in 07 Infinite beige. Lips: Rimmel Universal Transparent Lipliner in 001 Universal + Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate lipstick in 109)

Glam metallics

Collection 2000 liqiud eyeliners 2

I recently found some more of these discontinued Collection 2000 Glam Metallics liquid eyeliners and they were so cheap, so I bought the colours I didn’t already have. The blue one is called Groupie and it’s the one I’m most excited about. It’s a turquoise with a green-ish iridescence to it. The green is called Grunge and the gold is called Fierce, and I’m looking forward to trying them all out.
