5 favourites – March

Posted on March 31, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

I’ve had a bit of a tough start to 2024, and March has been another month of ups and downs. I hope that things will get better soon. I’m also hoping for warmer weather soon; March was cold and not very springlike. Anyways, here are my March 5 favourites.

Nike Zoom Air Fire sneakers: I purchased these sneakers back in July last year, and they’re been a favourite ever since, so I thought it was about time that they got a shout out.

Rare Beauty Positive Light tinted moisturizer (shade: 14W): My skin has been looking good lately, so I’ve opted for a skin tint or light coverage foundation, and this one from Rare Beauty has been my go-to. It has the perfect amount of coverage for what I’m liking at the moment, and the finish is beautiful.

Avatar: The Last Airbender (Netflix live action TV series): I love the original Avatar: The Last Airbender cartoon, so I was excited to watch the live action version. Nothing can ever beat the original series, but I really enjoyed this one for what it is.

Fool Me Once (TV series): Another Netflix series I’ve watched and really enjoyed this past month is Fool Me Once. I really enjoy crime/thriller/drama series, and this one is worth a watch.

Diamond art: I’ve been needing some distraction, so I’ve taking up a new hobby; Diamond art. It’s like paint by numbers, but for adults, and that resonates with me.

Colourpop Black Friday haul 2023

Posted on March 24, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

On Black Friday, Colourpop had a 30% off sitewide deal, so I picked up some things.

I purchased the Black Friday mystery box, which included these two eyeshadow palettes; the It’s A Mood palette and the Off Melrose palette. I already own the It’s A Mood palette, but the Off Melrose palette is a new addition to my collection.

For cheeks, the mystery box included the Such A Rush cheek palette, which is way to dark for me, and the Super Shock blush in Birthday Suit, which I already own.

The box also included the Feather Effect brow pen in Black Brown, the liquid liner in The Hills, and the Super Shock shadow in Ripple. I didn’t own any of these products already.

The last two products in my mystery box were the Fourth Ray Beauty Overnight Success youth boosting mask and the Lux liquid lipstick in Just Imagine. I haven’t tried these products yet, but I definitely will at some point.

Moving on to the rest of the products I purchased in the sale. I got two more of the monochromatic 9-pan palettes; It’s My Pleasure and Orange You Glad?. I used both palettes to create this look, and I love the outcome.

I really enjoy the BFF créme gel liners from Colourpop, so I picked up the Sailor Moon Tokyo Love créme gel liner set including the two shades Azabu-Juban and Crystal Tokyo.

Another pencil from Colourpop that I really enjoy is the Lippie pencil, so I picked up two shades; V Cute and Love Bug.

I love the Pretty Fresh hydrating setting mist, so I got a back-up. I also love the Super Shock blushes and got the shade Lil Vibe, which is a super vibrant purply shade.

Lastly, I purchased a couple of Disney products. I got the Snow White Magic Mirror hand mirror, and then I finally got my hands on the Winnie The Pooh Hunny Pot lip care kit (include a lip scrub and a lip mask), which is so similar to the Winnie The Pooh lip care set from Catrice.
