First impressions: L’Oréal Cushion foundation

Posted on May 19, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

I’ve been seeing cushion foundations everywhere online lately, so when I found the L’Oréal Nude Magique Cushion dewy glow foundation at the drugstore, I decided to give it a go. I’m going to give my first impressions of this product, and I don’t know if this will turn into a new series on my blog, but it might:)

I’ve been wearing the foundation for the first time today, so these really are my first impressions. First off, I love the packaging. It’s so cute, but also quite handy to travel with, I reckon. The compact contains a little flat sponge, but I used my Real Techniques Miracle Complexion sponge to apply the foundation. I don’t think I’ve ever applied my foundation as easy and quick as I did this morning which is a big plus. As the name suggests the foundation is indeed very dewy and glowy (in the picture beneath I’m only wearing a none-illuminating primer and the foundation). I’m wearing shade 1 Porcelain which is the lightest shade, and I think it matches my pale skin well. Right now as I’m writing I’ve been wearing the foundation for about 10,5 hours. I’m obviously wearing other products (powders) on top, but as far as I can tell, the foundation still looks fairly good, so I’m happy with this product so far. As I’ve already mentioned these are only my first impressions, but I’m looking forward to wear this foundation a few more times to see if those impressions stick.

Down the neutral road

Posted on May 18, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Even though a black outfit gives you the perfect opportunity to play around with more colourful make-up, I decided to go down a more neutral road and I really like it.

(Eye make-up: Maybelline Color Tattoo in Créme De Rose 91, eye shadows – NYX Highlight & Contour Pro Palette (shade: Soft Light) + the Balm Nude’tude eye shadow palette (shades: Sultry) + Wet n Wild Color Icon eye shadow palette in Comfort Zone (shades: definer 2. row down + browbone 1. row down) + MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Lightscapade on browbone, mascara – Maybelline The Falsies Volum’ Express, eyeliner – Sephora Long lasting kohl pencil in 07 Infinite beige.

Never go wrong

Here’s what I wore Friday April 15. This is the kind of outfit you can never go wrong with in my opinion. I was out all day (and night) in this outfit, and it was really comfortable and still looked nice.

Bluish-purple lips

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I decided to go light on the eyes and bold on the lips with this bluish-purple colour.

Here’s what I wore Thursday April 14 (the day I wore my hair like this). I really like this outfit, and I think the ’90s inspired hair went well with it.

90’s inspired hair

Here’s how I wore my hair Thursday April 14 (and a sneak peak of my outfit and make-up from that day). I felt inspired by the 90’s, and I think it’s a fun way to jazz up an outfit.

Bright and simple

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Bright and simple. These pictures really don’t do the eye shadow on my eyelids justice. It has both some silver, green, and purple-pink to it which is so pretty.

(Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eye shadows – Zoeva En Taupe eye shadow palette (shades: Stitch By Stitch + Hour By Hour + Sheers & Voiles) + MUA Ever After matte eye shadow palette (shade: Fade) + NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Cottage Cheese + MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Warm Rose on browbone, mascara – Maybelline The Falsies Volum’ Express, eyeliner – Sephora Long lasting kohl pencil in 07 Infinite beige. Lips: Maybelline Color Drama Intense Velvet lip pencil in 150 Fuchsia Desire)

A bit boring, but comfy

Here’s what I wore Wednesday April 13. This is the kind of outfit I go for, if I don’t know what to wear; a sweatshirt, jeans, and sneakers. It’s a bit boring, but really comfy.

MAC Brooke Candy

Posted on May 9, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

There are so many awesome MAC collections launching this spring/summer, and here’s what I purchased from the Brooke Candy collection. I don’t really know anything about Brooke Candy, but that doesn’t matter to me as long as the products are nice. First of all the packaging is stunning. That mirrored silver with black and grey paint splatters is gorgeous. Obviously I went for lip products and as you can see I purchased two lipsticks and a lip pencil; all three in limited edition shades. Both lipsticks are matte. The Barbie pink lipstick is called Doo-Wop. I’m wearing it today, and it’s such a fun, bright pop of pink on the lips; perfect for spring and summer. The dark purple lipstick is called Witching Hour. It looked like such a cool colour, and I’m drawn to everything purple so I had to have it. I also got the dark purple lip pencil to go with it, and it’s called Night Crawler. I can’t wait to wear those two products together. They probably won’t be considered that spring/summer appropriate, but I’ll most likely wear them soon anyways.

Blue pop

Posted on May 8, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m loving this blue mascara from NYX; it’s such an easy way to add some colour to your eyes if you don’t wanna bother spending to much time on eye shadow. I’ve worn the mascara with a nude lip a couple of times, but I think it looks beautiful paired with a red lip as well.

(Base: primer – Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro primer 002, foundation – Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 HR Nude foundation (shade: 100 Ivory), concealers – MAC Pro Longwear concealer (shade: NC20) + Maybelline Fit Me concealer (shade: 15), powders – Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit Light to Medium (shades: Banana) + Maybelline Fit Me pressed powder (shade: 105 Natural Ivory). Face make-up: contour/bronzer – NYX Highlight & Contour Pro Palette (shade: Sculpt) + The Body Shop Honey Bronze Bronzing powder (shade: 02 fair matte), blusher – Gosh Cheeks’N Lips (shade: 01 Back to Nature), highlighter – MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Lightscapade. Eye make-up: Maybelline Color Tattoo in Créme De Rose 91, eye shadows – MUA Ever After matte eye shadow palette (shades: Bare + Fade) + the Balm Nude’tude eye shadow palette (shades: Sultry) + NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Cottage Cheese + MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Lightscapade on browbone, mascara – NYX Color mascara in Blue, eyeliner – Sephora Long lasting kohl pencil in 07 Infinite beige.
