5 favourites – February

Posted on February 29, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

February was another tough month for me, so once again I won’t write a whole ton in this 5 favourites post. However, as always, I did find 5 favourites this past month that I’ll share with you, so here goes.

NYX Pro Fix Stick correcting concealers: I don’t remember the last time I tried a stick concealer, but I’m very impressed with these ones from NYX. I got two correctors (pink and green) and a concealer shade that matches my skin, and I like all three of them. They’re creamy and easy to blend, and they have nice coverage.

Sigma Beauty Eyeshadow Base Primer (shade: Ignite): I’m pretty sure, I haven’t featured this particular shade of Sigma Beauty Eyeshadow Base Primer in a 5 favourites post before, so I thought it was about time, since it’s one of my favourite eyeshadow primers.

Essence I Love Extreme crazy volume mascara: It took me a long time to try this mascara, because for some reason I didn’t think I would like it, but it turns out that I do. It gives you lashes a lot of volume, so the name of it makes sense.

Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara (shade: Pink Air): I don’t think I’ve ever featured two mascaras the same month, but this one is very different from the Essence one. And I have featured this mascara formula in a 5 favourites before, but not this shade. Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara is one of my top favourite mascaras, and I love that it now comes in more shades, such as this beautiful pink.

Pandora hoop earrings (w. Disney pendants): I love my Pandora x Disney jewellery, and I got these hoop earrings for Christmas to wear with Disney pendants. For now I’ve been wearing them with these Mickey and Minnie pendants, but who knows, I might change it up in the future.

Sickly sweet pastels

Posted on February 28, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love a pastel eye look, and the Blend Bunny Cosmetics Sickly Sweet palette (which I haven’t hauled yet) could easily become my new favourite pastel palette.

First of 2024

Posted on February 27, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s what I wore Thursday January 4. These are the first outfit (and make-up) pictures I took in the new year. I think I needed to wear something very different from my Christmassy looks, so I went with pastels.

Snowbody’s business

Posted on February 26, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

Zalando sale haul (September 2023)

Posted on February 24, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a Zalando sale haul to share with you today. It includes a mix of everything.

I already own this type of dress from Monki in another pattern, but it’s just such a comfortable dress to wear in the summer.

These pastel Jeffrey Campbell loafers were a bit of a splurge, but I’d been eyeing them for so long, and I got a Zalando gift card for my birthday last year, so I decided to finally get them. I’m wearing them here and here.

You know I love Crocs, and I love to accessorise them with fun Jibbitz, so I picked up these three 5-packs in the sale.

The only thing I picked up from the Revolution x Grease collection was the It’s The Word shadow palette. I really like the colour story, and it actually performed quite well. I’m wearing it here.

BH Cosmetics is sadly not the great brand that it used to be, but I still decided to try out a couple of their newer products; the Summer Heat cream bronzer in Light and the Juicy Gossip lip oil in Mango. Both products are nice, but not my absolute favourites.

Bright green shimmer
