5 favourites – May

Posted on May 31, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

The last month of spring is coming to an end and by tomorrow it’ll officially be summer (if you ask the calendar). We are finally getting some warmer weather in Denmark as well, so it’s great timing. Anyways, let’s just get to it. Let’s talk about some favourites from the month of May.

Denim lace up boots: I was not sure how I would feel about these denim lace up (with a zipper on the side) boots from Monki when I first purchased them, but I love them. Denim is a neutral to me, so these boots are perfect for when you feel that neither black, white, or brown shoes go with your outfit.

NYX The Marshmellow primer: I’m sure that I’m not the only one who’s been enjoying this sweet-smelling primer from NYX. It’s popular for a reason; it feels nice and smooth on the skin and it smells great too. It hasn’t only been a favourite of mine for the past month, but for several months now, so I thought it was time to feature it in a favourites post.

Essence Lash Princess false lash effect mascara: I’ve been discovering so many great mascaras lately, this Essence mascara being another one. I’d heard great things about this mascara for years, and I’m so glad that I finally decided to try it. I’ll be posting my first impressions on it at some point where I’ll get in to more details about it.

Essence #pinkandproud Strong soapy brow styler (01 Stronger Than Yesterday!): It’ll still be a while before I get around to posting the haul that includes this soapy brow styler, but I had to include it in this post, because I’ve been loving it. It’s the first soap brow product I’ve tried, and there are probably better ones out there, but I’m still so impressed by the brow look I can create with this, and you can’t beat the price tag!

Kingsman: The Secret Service (film): I’d heard the name of this film, but hadn’t really any idea of what it was really about other than being a spy film, but I was pleasantly surprised by the over the top comedy sequences, and the cast is incredible. I also watched the sequel, and I really liked that one too, but the first one is my favourite. If you like action and comedy together, give this film a go. You won’t regret it.

Favourite lilac eyeshadows

Posted on May 30, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’ve tried so many new eyeshadow palettes lately, and I’ve loved most of them, but when it comes to lilac eyeshadows I’m pretty sure that my favourite is still the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Blood Lust palette, so I had to use that palette for this look.

Face make-up: bronzer – Milani Silky Matte Bronzing powder in Sun Light, blusher – Clinique Cheek Pop palette: Warm Up (shade: Nude Pop), highlighter – Essence Glow Like A Pro loose highlighter (04 Purple Scandal). Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Jeffree Star Blood Lust palette (shades: Your Majesty + Deviant + Vivid Mood + Take The Crown) + Jeffree Star Alien palette (shade: Abduction), mascara – L’Oréal Air Volume Mega mascara, eyeliner – NYX Epic Wear Liner Stick in Periwinkle Pop.

Lilac and light yellow

Posted on May 29, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s what I wore Thursday March 4. As I’ve mentioned, I’ve been loving pastels lately, and lilac and light yellow are two of my favourite pastels to wear together. They make such a pretty colour combo.

Same colours

Posted on May 28, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I loved the blue and brown colour combo of my outfit so much that I decided to use the same colours for my make-up look, and I think it turned out exactly how I imagined it.

Instantly knew

Here’s what I wore Wednesday March 3. When I bought the brown faux leather skirt and the blue cropped jumper, I instantly knew that I wanted to wear them together. I really like the colour combo.

20% off everything Asos haul

Posted on May 26, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

I haven’t posted an Asos haul since February, so I thought it was about time to post another one. I got everything in this haul 20% off, which is always nice:)

Let’s start with a couple of sweatshirts. I’m actually not sure if the brand of this sweatshirt is just Disney, but it’s all it says on the label. Anyways, you know how I feel about Disney clothing and this sweatshirt was just so cute with the embroidered Lady, and the colour of it is really unique, and I love that too.

The other sweatshirt I purchased is this oversized pastel dream from New Girl Order x Hello Kitty. As I mentioned here, I’m really liking pastels at the moment, and this sweatshirt is just the cutest. I mean, just look at the back.

I also purchased this pastel piece, which is from Asos’ own brand. Lilac and light yellow is such a pretty colour combo.

I’m still not over sweater vests, and this one from Daisy Street has been on my wishlist for a while. It’s so vibrant and fun.

I have of course also bought a pair of pastel coloured joggers. These are also from Daisy Street, and they combine two of my new found loves – pastels and loungewear.

I’m always excited to find colourful and/or printed tights, and these lilac ones from Asos’ own brand are so cute.

I’ve seen a lot of these scrunchie style bags, and I couldn’t resist getting this purple one from Asos’ own brand, since purple is my favourite colour, and I didn’t have a bag this colour purple.

I’ve been wanting a pair of big ’70s style sunglasses, and these are just what I’d been looking for (they’re from Asos’ own brand).

I’ve added yet another of these types of hair clips to my collection, but it’s lilac (and also from Asos’ own brand). I had too.

The last three pieces in this haul are jewellery. The earrings are from Kingsley Ryan, and they’re very simple and pretty little multicoloured rhinestone earrings. Both the gold coloured dinosaur necklace and the purple ring are from Asos’ own brand. I love dinosaurs, and I didn’t already have a gold coloured dinsaosaur necklace, so that was a no brainer purchase. And those fun, plastic rings are so popular right now, and I thought I would buy one to see if they really are that cute.

Versatile palette

Posted on May 25, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This is the second eye look I created with the BH Cosmetics Blueberry Muffin palette, and as you can see it’s very different from the first look I created with the palette. It’s such a versatile palette, so stay tuned for more looks.

Too many Mickeys?

Here’s what I wore Tuesday March 2. Can you wear too many Mickeys? Not if you ask me:)

Rusty

Posted on May 23, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I used the By Beauty Bay New Romantic palette for the second time, and I obviously went for the rusty shades to match my corduroy suit. I think those shades look great paired with the hot pink lip.

(Base: primer – e.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer, foundation – Maybelline Dream Urban Cover foundation (shade: 100 Warm Ivory), concealer – Essence Camouflage+ Healthy Glow concealer in 10 Light Ivory, powders – e.l.f.

Fun and unexpected

Posted on May 22, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s what I wore Monday March 1. I still love this corduroy suit! And I love the pops of pink with the rust colour; it’s such a fun and unexpected colour combo.
