Collective beauty haul – palettes, cheeks and lips

Posted on September 10, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a collective beauty haul to share with you today. It consists of palettes, cheek and lip products. Let’s start with the palettes.

I’ve purchased two more Natasha Denona palettes. I’m probably the most excited about the Zendo palette, which I purchased right when it launched. I’ve actually already featured it in a favourites post, which shows how much I like this palette. I just love the mix of colourful shades and neutrals.

The other ND palette that I purchased in late spring/early summer was the Triochrome palette. This is one of the bigger palettes, and it’s therefore more expensive, but one day I found it 40% off on sale, so I had to pick it up. The colour story is very interesting, and I’m excited to create more looks with it.

The last palette in this haul is the Huda Beauty Brown Obsessions Toffee palette. I really enjoy the Huda Beauty Obsessions palettes, and this is my kind of neutral palette. I love the looks I’ve created with this palette so far.

Now, let’s talk cheeks. I picked up two blushers and one highlighter.

I’ve been loving blusher lately; even more than I already did. So I’ve been trying to add blushers that I didn’t already own to my collection these past few month. That’s why I was attracted to both the KVD Vegan Beauty Everlasting blush in Poppy and the Nyx Sweet Cheeks matte creamy powder blush in Red Riot. They’re such fun colours.

Since Becca is going out of business, I thought I would finally pick up the Shimmering Skin Perfector pressed highlighter in Pearl. It was on sale, and I’ve been wanting this highlighter for a long time, so I’m glad that it’s finally a part of my highlighter collection.

Lastly, I picked up three lip products; a sheer lipstick, a metallic lipstick, and a liquid lipstick.

The sheer lipstick is the Fenty Beauty Slip Shine Sheer Shiny lipstick in Makeout Break. It’s such a pretty, comfortable nude lipstick, and the packaging is really pretty too.

The metallic lipstick is the Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in Singe, which is a metallic red. I got this one on sale, and I think it’ll be great for wearing around Christmas time.

I also picked up another NYX Shine Loud High Pigment Lip Shine. This is in the shade Ambition Statement, and it’s a very pretty terracotta nude.

Matte + glossy

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s not often I wear an all matte eye look, but that’s what I decided to go for here. I paired it with a glossy lip, so my look wouldn’t be too matte.

Did the trick

Here’s what I wore Thursday May 20. This first time I posted a look featuring this matching set, the weather was actually warmer, so I styled it with a T-shirt and mule sandals. This time around it was pretty cold, so a T-shirt, sweater vest, and boots did the trick instead.

Missing corduroy

Here’s what I wore Tuesday May 18. When I see these pictures, I really miss wearing corduroy, but the weather is just still too warm for corduroy.

Natasha Denona haul

Posted on September 5, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a Natasha Denona haul to share with you today. Everything is purchased at Feelunique.

Let’s start with the biggest purchase of the haul; the Diamond & Blush palette in 01 Darya Coral. As you can see, my palette is a bit messy. It’s due to the fact that the bottom left shade (the diamond powder) came broken. It was very difficult for me to send the palette back, so I decided to keep it and I got a refund on the broken shade. I tried my best to press it back in to the pan, and now it’s usable. It’s a super pretty face palette, and I really like it, but it’s too bad that I can’t travel with it, and I have to store it flat.

Let’s continue with another face palette. This is the Love Glow Cheek palette, and I’m pretty sure it launched at the same time as the Love palette. It contains four different formulas/textures, and they’re all very pretty.

And now on to the last two face/cheek products in this haul. I purchased the Contour Sculpting Powder in 01 Light and the Super Glow in 1 Fair. Lately, I’ve been slowly getting a bit back in to contouring, and this ND contour powder is great. The Super Glow is a stunning highlighter that I’ve been enjoying as well. It looks a bit dark in the pan, but it’s super bright on the skin.

Last, but not least, I’ve added three more mini palettes to my growing collection. I picked up the Mini Gold, the Mini Glam, and the Mini Star. I’ve created looks with all of these palettes, I think I used every single shade, and I loved how all three looks turned out. Natasha Denona eyeshadows are just incredible.

Aubergines and orchids

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I really wanted to wear my Natasha Denona eyeshadow palette 5 in palette 10 (10 is the number of the palette – it’s a bit confusing). I used every single shade in the palette, and I love how the look turned out. I also love how it looks paired with a dark purple lip.

(Base: primer – Essence Wanna Bee My Honey? luminizing primer in 01 You’re Bee-autiful!, foundation – Wet n Wild Photofocus foundation (shade: Soft Ivory), concealers – Catrice Camouflage cream concealer (shade: 010 Ivory) + Catrice Liquid Camouflage High Coverage concealer (shade: 005 Light Natural), powder – Fenty Beauty Pro Filt´r Instant Retouch setting powder in Butter. Face make-up: bronzer – Hourglass Ambient Lighting bronzer in Luminous Bronze Light, blusher – NYX Ombre Blush in Mauve Me, highlighters – MAC Flash Drops liquid highlighter in Flash Me Outside + Natasha Denona eyeshadow palette 5 in palette 10 shade True Gold as highlighter. Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Essence eyeshadow in 05 Granny Pants + Natasha Denona eyeshadow palette 5 in palette 10 shade (shades: Nina’s Orchid + Aubergine + Vintage + Satin Skin + True Gold), mascaras – Essence Volume Booster lash primer + Fenty Beauty Full Frontal – Volume, Lift & Curl mascara, eyeliner – Makeup Geek Full Spectrum eye liner pencil in Orchid. Eyebrows: Soda #wowbrow Flat Brow Liner in Kim + MAC Brow Set in Clear. Lips: NYX Shine Loud High Pigment Lip Shine in Shake Things Up)

Here’s what I wore Monday May 17. I might have worn this outfit in spring, but it screams autumn to me.

Berry/wine

Posted on September 2, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I really wanted to play with my Natasha Denona Love palette again and ended up with this berry/wine eye look. I just had to pair it with matching lipstick and blusher, because I love a monochromatic make-up look.

(Base: primer – Essence Skin Lovin’ Sensitive primer, foundation – Maybelline Dream Urban Cover foundation (shade: 100 Warm Ivory), concealers – L’Oréal Infaillible More Than Concealer (shade: 322 Ivory) + Essence Skin Lovin’ Sensitive concealer (shade: 05 Fair), powders – e.l.f.

Black, white, and denim

Posted on September 1, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s what I wore Friday May 14. I actually really wanted to play with some specific make-up products that day, so I created my outfit around that and went for a black and white outfit. I threw on a denim jacket to break up the black and white.
