5 favourites – January

Posted on January 31, 2017 by Mucha-Lucha

The first month of 2017 has already come to an end. Times flies by so fast. My January was mainly exam studying, choir rehearsals and performances, and then I had a bit of time off before the new semester started this week. I hope you all had a great start to the new year, and now let’s talk about some favourites.

MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Groundwork: Because I’ve been studying for my exam most of January my make-up routine has been quick and easy, and this cream eye shadow has been the main thing I’ve worn on my eyes. It’s perfect as a base or on it’s own.

Jeffree Star Skin Frost in Peach Goddess: This has been my go-to highlighter in January. It’s a beautiful rose gold-ish colour which almost matches my skin and is therefore less intense on the skin, but still glowy and beautiful (it’s difficult to explain) and I’ve been loving that look.

the-sims-4-city-living

The Sims 4 City Living (computer game): I got the newest expansion pack for The Sims 4 for Christmas, and I’ve been playing it pretty much whenever I had the time. I love playing The Sims so much; it’s one of my favourite pastimes.

footloose-movie-still-1984-660x330

Footloose (film): I’ve watched so many good films this month and the one that started it all was Footloose (the original one of course). It’s just one of those classics that I’d been wanting to watch for ages, and I’m so glad I finally got around to it, because it was great.

Night Driver – Busted (album): Another one of my Christmas presents was Busted’s newest album. As I’ve mentioned before I’m a huge Busted fan, so I was extremely excited to listen to this album. Even though it’s very different from the music they used to make I still absolutely love it. Above you can listen to the song with this same title as the album, Night Driver, which is one of my many favourite songs from the album.

Face palettes

Posted on January 30, 2017 by Mucha-Lucha

Between Christmas and New Year’s I went to Copenhagen to spend time with family, but I also had time to stop by Sephora. I wasn’t supposed to spend a lot of money, so I just got two things. The NARS Sarah Moon Cheek & Lip palette in True Story was on sale and I’ve never tried NARS blushers (or highlighters), so I thought this was a good way to try them out. The colours in the palette are beautiful and as you can see it also came with a Velvet Matte lip pencil which I’m looking forward to try out. Then I had to get the Sleek Highlighting palette in Solstice which every major beauty youtuber talked about in 2016, and I have to say that it’s worth the hype. They’re some of the most intense highlighters I’ve tried and they’re so beautiful.

Navy

Posted on January 29, 2017 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m loving the deep navy blue lip with the neutral shimmery eye make-up and the light grey sweater. I should wear this lip colour again soon.

MAC Christmas presents

Posted on January 27, 2017 by Mucha-Lucha

I know it’s been about a month since Christmas, but I thought I would still show you a few of the Christmas presents I received. I got three make-up products and they’re all from MAC.

I got the lipstick in Diva which is a classic MAC lipstick shade and one I’ve been wanting for a long time. It’s a beautiful matte burgundy shade, and even though I have several lipsticks in this colour family this one has quickly become a favourite.

I also got the Pro Longwear Paintpot in the shade Groundwork which has also been on my wishlist for a while. It’s a very nice mid-tone brown that works beautifully on it’s own or as a base for powder shadows.

Lastly, I got a single eye shadow to add to my palette. It’s in the shade Amber Lights and it’s a gorgeous golden amber colour.

Green and metallic nude

Dramatic

Here’s the make-up I wore at a Christmas party Saturday December 3. My camera wouldn’t cooperate that day, so my outfit pictures turned out so bad that they’re not worth showing here. I thought I would show you my make-up look anyways which turned out quite dramatic. After doing my eye make-up I though about wearing a more neutral lipstick, but I just really wanted to wear the Jeffree Star Velour liquid lipstick in Unicorn Blood, because it’s so gorgeous.

(Base: primers – Benefit the POREfessional face primer + L’Oréal Lumi Magique Pure Light primer, foundation – Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless foundation (shade: 110 Porcelain), concealers – MAC Pro Longwear concealer (shade: NC20) + Maybelline Fit Me concealer (shade: 15), powders – Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit Light to Medium (shades: Banana + Vanilla) + Rimmel Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed powder (shade: 001 Transparent). Face make-up: contour/bronzer – NYX Highlight & Contour Pro Palette (shade: Toffee) + Benefit Hoola bronzer, blusher – MAC Nutcracker Sweet Peach Face Compact Extra Dimension blush in At Dusk, highlighter – MAC Nutcracker Sweet Peach Face Compact Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Tutu. Eye make-up: base – Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Long-Lasting Eyeshadow Base in Eden (sample), eye shadows – Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eye Shadow Collection (shades: White Chocolate + Milk Chocolate) + Wet n Wild Color Icon eye shadow palette in Comfort Zone (shades: Definer 1. row down + Crease 1. row down) + MAC Nylon eye shadow, mascara – MAC Zoom Fast Black Lash mascara, eyeliners – Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner 24H in 01 Black + Sephora Long lasting kohl pencil in 07 Infinite beige. Eyebrows – Benefit Gimme Brow volumizing brow gel in 03 Medium + Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel. Lips: Jeffree Star Velour liquid lipstick in Unicorn Blood)

Small Asos haul

I made an ASOS order in December and these are the items I picked up. All of these items were on sale when I bought them, and the only item that is not on sale anymore is the top. It’s the ASOS High Neck Halter With Sheer Plunge and I thought it would be a very nice ‘going out’ top. I’ve been wanting a pair of simple, black booties with a low block heel for a really long time, and I thought these Truffle Collection Thea Side Zip Boots were very nice. They’re the only pair of these three pairs of shoes I’ve worn so far (mainly because of the weather), and they go with pretty much any outfit. I’m really loving the velvet trend and I could not pass on the ASOS ELOUISE Velvet Sock Boots. They’re a beautiful light blue colour and I can’t wait to style them. Lastly, I’ve been craving a pair of silver sneakers so I was very excited to find these Missguided Metallic Trainers. I think they’ll look great with so many different outfits.

Matching pale pinks
