5 favourites – July

Posted on July 31, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

July has come to an end, and it’s been really nice having some time off. I spent the past four weeks with my family, and now I’m back home (and by home I mean my home). It’s been really nice being on summer holiday (though I’m studying at the moment because I have an exam in a few days) and my holiday is not over yet (thank god). Btw, I created an instagram account today which is mainly going to be an extension of the blog. I’m @muchaluchas and there’s a link in my blogroll in the sidebar. But enough about that for now; here’s some of my favourite things from the month of July.

MAC lipstick in Faux: I haven’t worn make-up that often this past month, because I’ve just been staying at my parents summer house, but most of the times I did wear make-up I wore this lipstick. It just the perfect neutral, ‘my lips but better’ shade for me.

Morphe M510 brush: This is the best brush for highlighter I’ve tried so far. It’s fluffy and not too big, so it gives you a very precise application while blending out the product at the same time.

Vintage Style – Sarah Kennedy: As I’ve probably mentioned before, I don’t read much on an everyday basis (other than for my studies), but I usually read a bit in my summer holiday, and this year I’ve been reading this book about vintage style. It has beautiful pictures of vintage style icons and gives you tips on how to get the style, and I’ve really enjoyed reading it.

Big Hero 6 (film): As the huge Disney fan I am, it’s always exciting when I get to watch a Disney film I haven’t watched before. It was actually my mum who raved about this film, and I wasn’t disappointed. This film is great, and I can’t wait to watch it again.

Glass cup with lid and straw: This is a bit of a random favourite. My youngest sister and I got these cups this summer and she made us water with lime (and lemon) and mint several times and it was such a great way of actually drinking water during the day + the cups are super cute.

Adidas ZX Flux

Posted on July 28, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

The Danish Adidas webshop is having a sale at the moment, so my mum and I decided to take advantage of it. We received our shoes today, and I got these Adidas ZX Flux. I think they look awesome, and I’m sure I’m going to wear them a lot.

Still my favourite

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. MAC Steam Heat is probably still my favourite lipstick; I just think it’s the perfect shade of red.

Wearable bright

Rediscovered skirt

Posted on July 16, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s what I wore Monday May 30. The weather was amazing the last couple of days of May and the first week of June, so I have quite a few summery outfits to post. I’ve had this skirt for years, but I’ve never really worn it much. I think it looks really cute paired with my Barbie T-shirt and I felt really good in it, so I’m going to try to remember to wear it more often.

Perfect summer colour

Posted on July 14, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

Tutorial: Urban Decay Naked 2

Posted on July 11, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

A while ago I was asked if I did tutorials which I’ve never done, but I thought I’d give it a go. I was asked to do an eye make-up tutorial using the Urban Decay Naked 2, so that’s what I’ve done. Here we go.

1-4

5-8

I always prime my eyelids before I apply any eye shadow. Here I used MAC Paint Pot in Painterly.
Apply Foxy all over the lid to set the base
Apply Tease in the crease (and lower lash line) and blend out. This is your transition shade.
Apply Snakebite on the outer half of the lid (and outer half of the lower lash line) and blend out.
Apply Suspect on the inner half of the lid (and inner half of the lower lash line) and blend out.
Apply Bootycall on the browbone and inner corner.
Curl your lashes (if needed) and apply your favourite mascara (mine is Maybelline The Falsies Volum’ Express).
You can apply any colour eyeliner you wish on your waterline, but I prefer a nude eyeliner (Sephora Long lasting kohl pencil in 07 Infinite beige).

And you’re done! I hope this was useful, and if you would like to see more tutorials, please let me know.

Perfect shade of purple
