GlossGods Cosmetics palette sale haul (May 2024)

Posted on September 20, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

GlossGods Cosmetics is a great Swedish indie brand, and they had a sale back in May, which I decided to take advantage of. I picked up five beautiful palettes.

The Let’s Get Nude was their newest palette at the time. I would call this a neutral palette with a twist, and I really like the first look I created with it.

I didn’t own any of their “First Gal on…” palettes, so I picked up all four. The First Gal on Venus palette came in a discounted set with the Let’s Get Nude palette. This palette has such a beautiful warm and fiery colour story.

If you love cool-toned eyeshadows the First Gal on Jupiter palette is for you. This palette has some intense and beautiful shimmers.

The last two palettes are all special shimmer palettes. This one is the First Gal on Mars palette, which includes some beautiful pinks, purples, and warmer tones.

And this very last one is the First Gal on the Moon palette, which includes all of the blues and greens. Another beautiful palette.

Pink and red perfection

Zalando sale haul (May 2024)

Posted on September 15, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a Zalando sale haul to share with you today. The haul includes a lot of shoes and a few make-up bits.

Yes, I’ve added yet another pair of Nike Cortez sneakers to my shoe collection. Nike has just released so many good colour ways of the Cortez sneakers this past year or so.

I bought my first pair of Jeffrey Campbell shoes about a year ago, and I’ve since falling in love with the brand. These are the Akita lace up boots, and I can’t wait to wear them this upcoming autumn and winter.

Did I really need these white Jeffrey Campbell Litas with silver flames? Maybe not, but I think a small Jeffrey Campbell obsession is forming.

These shoes are from the brand Lamoda, which has a lot of fun shoes as well. I actually really like a platform flat (if you can call it that), and I love a pop of red in an outfit.

The Crocs obsession is well and thriving:) I got my first pair of Siren Crocs during Black Friday last year, and I’ve been on the look-out for more colours since. This bone colour is very neutral for what I usually wear, but because it’s such a statement shoe, I thought the light, neutral colour would work well with a lot of looks.

However, I also picked up this crazy, colourful Hello Kitty pair, because how could I not?! I love the glitter, the bows and the Hello Kitty jibbitz. They’re just so fun and cute.

And now we move on to the make-up bits. This is the MAC Teddy Takeover eye & face palette: Light. It’s from the Teddy inspired collection they did earlier in the year, and even though it’s a very neutral little palette, I wanted to try it out, since I haven’t tried a palette of this format from MAC before.

The last thing I picked up is the Bobbi Brown Sheer Finish pressed powder in Soft Porcelain, which I featured in my 5 favourites post for June, so as you can imagine I really enjoy this powder. The packaging is stunning as well.

One shadow look

Posted on September 14, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I had to do my make-up rather quickly that day, so I did a “one shadow” eye look. I still prefer more elaborate eyeshadow looks, but simple is necessarily bad, and I do like this entire look.

(Base: primer – e.l.f Cosmetics Power Grip primer, foundation – Rare Beauty Positive Light tinted moisturizer (shade: 14W), concealers – Rare Beauty Positive Light under eye brightener (shade: Light) + Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer (shade: 1.3G Marshmellow), powders – Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Brightening Flawless Finish powder (shade: Fair/Medium) + Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish powder (shade: 1 Fair). Face make-up: bronzer – L’Oréal Infaillible 24H Fresh Wear Matte bronzer (shade: 250 Light), blusher + highlighter – Simply Posh Cosmetics Cozy Up cheek palette (shades: Warm Wishes + Cozy Up (blushers) + Snowed In (highlighter)). Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Essence eyeshadow in 20 Cream + Colourpop Super Shock shadow in Sasuke Uchiha + Simply Posh Cosmetics Cozy Up cheek palette (shade: Snowed In – inner corners), mascaras – MAC Extended Play Gigablack Lash mascara + L’Oréal Lash Paradise mascara in Intense Black, eyeliner – Oden’s Eye Solmåne gel liner in 009 Sky Blue. Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze + Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown. Lips: Natasha Denona I Need A Rouge lip crayon in Gigi + Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velvet Trap lipstick in Red Affair)

A week of Nike Cortez

Posted on September 12, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha
