Huge Monolith haul (May 2024)

Posted on September 10, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a huge Monolith indie palette haul to share with you today. Some of the palettes were new on the website when I bought them and some of the palettes were on sale. Let’s begin with the non-sale palettes.

I’ve got three Bellabeautébar palettes to show you. This first one is the Secret Garden palette, and isn’t this colour story just stunning. I love pink and green together, so I had to have this palette. I’m wearing some of the pink shades on my eyes here.

The second Bellabeautébar palette I picked up is the Dead Roses palette, which was their Valentine’s Day (or anti Valentine’s Day) release this year. The colour story is so pretty as well.

I was probably the most excited about the Bellabeautébar x Deandranicoleee Ultra Violet palette for the obvious reason that it’s a monochromatic purple palette, and purple is my favourite colour. I mean, just look at this stunner!

The Ensley Reign Cosmetics Cold Moon palette sold out so quickly when it first came to Monolith, but I was lucky to get my hands on it this time around. It’s such a beautiful cool-toned palette.

I think the Groovy Garden palette is the most matte heavy palette Ensley Reign Cosmetics has done so far, and even though I prefer more shimmers than mattes, I just loved this retro, autumnal colour story so much, so I had to have it.

Glamlite releases a lot of palettes, and I don’t always love the colour stories or themes, but I was very intrigued by the Betty Boop palette. The packaging is adorable and I love a pink and red colour story.

Unearthly Cosmetics has quickly become one of my favourite indie eyeshadow brands, and I seem to love all the colour stories and themes of all of the palettes they release. The Fall Magic palette has been on my wishlist for a while, so this time around I decided to finally pick it up. It really is a stunning palette.

The rest of the palettes in this haul were on sale. As I just mentioned, I seem to like all Unearthly Cosmetics palettes, and I felt like these two older palettes were missing from my collection. It’s the Fairy Frolic palette and the Sleepover palette.

I love that the Adept Cosmetics palettes are shimmer heavy. I thought about buying the Cyborg Choir palette, when it launched, but I didn’t. Now I’m glad I didn’t, because I was able to get it on sale instead and save some money.

This is the pastel palette I wore in my latest make-up post. It’s the Glaminatrix Pretty In Pastels palette, and I’m also glad I waited for this one to go on sale before purchasing it.

This is my first palette from Artittude Cosmetics. It’s the Phoenix palette, and I thought the colour story was pretty unique.

The last two palettes are from Ace Beauté. It’s the Envy palette and the Begonia palette. I’ve worn both and they’re not my favourite palettes. They crease quite a bit on me. The colour stories are pretty though.

A change in weather

Posted on September 6, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s what I wore Thursday June 6. As you can see by my outfit, we had a change in weather in Denmark in the beginning of June; it became colder again after a few weeks of warmer weather. The warm weather did come back though.

Colourpop haul – Pokémon and more (May 2024)

Posted on September 5, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a Colourpop haul to share with you today. This haul mainly consists of products from the Pokémon collection, but I also picked up a couple of other things.

Here’s an overview of the items I purchased from the Pokémon collection.

This is the colour story of the Pokémon Pallet Town palette; a very fun and colourful palette.

I picked up all three of the Pokémon Super Shock shadows. They’re in the shades Solar Beam, Hydro Pump, and Flamethrower. All three shades are really pretty.

I also got all three shades of the Pokémon Instant Crush cream blushes, and they’re in the shades Metronome, Electroball, and Hypnosis.

And of course I had to get the Pokémon You’re A Catch lip mask, which is in the shape of a pokéball. The packaging of this entire collection is so cute.

I wasn’t sure if I wanted anything from the Precious Metals collection, but there was something about the mixed metals colour story of the mega palette that I was drawn to.

I really enjoy the Jelly Much shadow formula, so I also bought the two shades Foiled Plans and 18K from the Precious Metals collection.

Lastly, I picked up the Liquid Lite glow drops in the shade Sun O’ Clock, and it’s a very pretty, very beaming higlighter.

A pop of red to match the pink
