5 favourites – June

Posted on June 30, 2022 by Mucha-Lucha

The first summer month has come to an end, and what a month it was. I’ve been working so much in June like most teachers do due to exams. And because I’ve been working so much this whole year actually I have an extra long summer holiday, which is so needed. Weatherwise it’s become summer in Denmark as well, which is lovely, however, some days (like today) are almost too hot. Anyways, we’re here to talk about favourites, and my June favourites are a mixed bag of things, so let’s talk about them.

Blue retro floral pleated trousers: It’ll still be quite a while before I get around to posting the haul including these trousers from Monki, but I’ve been loving them for the past couple of months (so not just in June), so I thought I would give them a shout out. They’re so comfortable, and I love their retro vibe.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Flawless Brightening concealer (shade: Fair 10 C): Here’s another product I haven’t hauled yet, but that I’ve been loving and using so much this past month. I remember not being sure about it in the beginning, but I’m like that with most products; the more I use them and get to know them, the more I usually love them. I typically don’t use this concealer alone, because it has a lighter coverage, but it’s a great brightening base.

MAC Boldly Bare lip pencil: I’ve had this lip pencil for a couple of years now, and it’s my go-to pinky nude lip pencil, but I’ve never featured it in a 5 favourites before, so I thought it was about time. I really like MAC lip pencil in generel though.

Jurassic World: Dominion (film): I’ve featured the previous two Jurassic World films in past 5 favourites posts, so now we come full circle. Was this the best film in the Jurassic World series, probably not, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I especially loved the references to previous Jurassic films, since the original Jurassic Park is my favourite film of all time.

Sun Lolly – Raspberry-Liquorice: My last favourite this month is an edible one. Warmer weather is ice cream and popsicles weather. Sun Lolly popsicles are very common in Denmark, and this month I discovered a new flavour, Raspberry-Liquorice, and both my boyfriend and I are obsessed. You might find that liquorice in a popsicle sounds strange, but it’s so good!

Graphic eyeshadow

Posted on June 28, 2022 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s not often that I experiment with different eyeshadow shapes, but for some unknown reason I decided to do a more graphic eyeshadow look this day. It’s not my absolute favourite look, but it was fun trying out something different.

Navy hat

Posted on June 28, 2022 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s what I wore Thursday April 28. I really wanted to wear the navy hat that my late grandmother made for my mum many years ago and decided to pair it with plaids, my pink checkered dress, and cute red heels.

Asos 20% off everything haul (January)

Posted on June 27, 2022 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a small Asos sale haul to share with you today, so let’s get started.

I’d had my eye on the sweater vest from Reclaimed Vintage for a while and decided that it was finally time to get it. Isn’t it just the cutest?

I also picked up another pair of fun tights. These black and white floral ones are from Skinnydip.

I’ve been wanted a beige/brown baker boy hat for a while and found this one from Stradivarius. I think it’ll be perfect for autumn.

I picked up two pairs of fun, colourful earrings from Glamorous. Both pairs are really cute and kind of retro looking.

Lastly, I bought the I Heart Revolution x Disney Fairytale setting powder and lip topper in Mulan. I’ve only worn the powder once, but I really didn’t like it, so I’ve actually already decluttered it from my collection. The gloss is a pretty standard light pink shimmer.

Three main colours

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wanted to include all three main colours of my outfit in to my make-up look, and more specifically my eye look, and I think the look turned out quite fun. I actually really like pink and green together.

Floral wrap dress

Posted on June 26, 2022 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s what I wore Wednesday April 27. I haven’t hauled this floral wrap dress yet, but I can already say that I really like it, and I had a lot of fun pairing it with lime green and pink items.

Smokey, glittery

Posted on June 25, 2022 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m always a little nervous about doing a black/grey smokey eye, because I’m afraid that my smaller eyes will disappear completely behind the dark colours, but I usually love how the looks turn out, and it’s no exception with this one.
