5 favourites – October

Posted on October 31, 2020 by Mucha-Lucha

Happy halloween. I’m going to end October with a halloween date with my boyfriend. We’re going to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas, which is very fitting, since we are only a month away from December now, and I’m so, so, so excited for Christmas! I had lots of favourites this past month, but I managed to narrow it down to five, so here goes.

Purple corduroy trousers: As you might have noticed (and I have mentioned) I’ve been obsessed with everything purple this year, and especially the last couple of months. I’d been wanting a pair of purple high waist wide leg trousers for so long, and these Monki ones are perfect, and I’ve worn them a lot. So stay tuned for many more purple looks.

Purple, christmassy sock slippers: It has definitely gotten colder outside, and I’m often cold, so I’ve been wearing these sock slippers (I dont’ know if that’s a thing) almost every day around the apartment. I know they have Christmas trees and snow flakes on them, but because they’re not traditional Christmas colours, I thought I could start wearing them a little early:)

Jeffree Star Cosmetics hand mirror: I didn’t think I would love a hand mirror this much, but I do my make-up very early in the morning when it’s now completely dark outside, and this mirror has been perfect to do my eye make-up in. I do have a standing mirror on my vanity, but it can be difficult to get close enough to my face, especially when I’m only relying on artificial light, so this mirror has been a huge help. And this was the last purple item (at least in this post).

Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane green tea: I’m obsessed with everything that smells or tastes like candy cane and peppermint, and this tea is so delicious. It’s decaffeinated, so it’s been my go-to evering tea.

Disney+ (streaming service): I debated with myself whether I should get Disney+ or not, even though I’m a huge Disney fan, but then my sisters asked me if we should get it together, and I said yes immediately, and it was the best decision. I’ve watched so many different things on Disney+ already and there’s still so much more, I’m exicted to watch.

Jeffree Star Cosmetics haul

Posted on October 13, 2020 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a Jeffree Star Cosmetics haul to share with you today. I purchased these items when the Orgy collection launched, so I’ve had them for a while now, and I’ve used most of them.

I decided not get the Orgy palette and only get the Mini Orgy palette. As a colourful make-up lover this collection didn’t really speak to me, and I’m not a fan of the concept of doing an all matte palette and an all glitter/metallic palette, but I do love a good glittery/metallic eyeshadow, hence why I picked up the Mini Orgy palette. I’ve only used this palette once so far, and I was actually a little disappointed. I used the top row, and the only nice shade was Champagne Drip. The others lack pigmentation. Hopefully the rest of the shades are better.

The other product I purchased from the Orgy collection is the Magic Star luminous setting powder in Translucent. I also purchased the original Magic Star setting powder in Fair, which I’ve been loving so much (I featured it in my 5 favourites post from September). I’ve only used the luminous setting powder once or twice so far, and I’m not quite sure how to use it properly yet.

I’ve also bought another Velour liquid lipstick from the Shane Dawson collaboration collection. This is a hot pink called Jeffree, What the Fuck?.

And last, but not least, I’ve purchased one of the hand mirrors. I chose the glittery purple one, since I love glitter and purple is my favourite colour, and I’ve done my make-up in this mirror pretty much every day since I received it. It’s very lightweight, and the quality is very nice.

Big collective clothing and accessories haul

Posted on October 6, 2020 by Mucha-Lucha

I’ve been doing quite a bit of shopping lately (as per usual), and I’ve collected items from different brands and thought I would put them all in this one big collective haul. So here goes.

Let’s start with Monki and corduroy trousers. I’ve purchased three new pairs of corduroy trousers, all from Monki. I first bought the dark green pair, because I thought they would be perfect for autumn (and also for December paired with Christmas jumpers!). It didn’t take me many days before I ordered the purple ones too. I’ve been wanting a pair of purple corduroy trousers for quite a while, and these are perfect. I’m actually wearing them right now:) And the last pair of corduroy trousers I’ve purchased is a pair of dark yellow/orangy ones that I found on sale. They’re very autumnal too.

I also purchased this roll neck top from Monki. I just loved the print and colours, and I actually think it would look great paired with all three pairs of corduroy trousers.

The last item from Monki is this argyle sweater vest. Sweater vests are a huge trend right now, and I’m all aboard with this trend.

And now on to H&M and three long sleeve tops. You know that I can’t resist clothing with Disney print, and the navy and cream stripy top with the little embroidered Mickey Mouse is just so cute. The black and white striped fitted roll neck top is a great stable in any autumn/winter wardrobe, and the black and white houndstooth printed roll neck top is also great for colder weather.

I’ve also bought three pairs of earrings from H&M. The rainbow pair just screamed my name: I mean, just look how fun they are! And my obsession with purple is continuously growing, so I added two different pairs of purple hoops to my ever growing earring collection.

I have three pieces left to show you. First off is another argyle sweater vest. This one is from a brand called Soyaconcept. I found it very randomly on sale, and it was too good to leave behind.

The last two items are both Disney-related. This Mulan T-shirt is from PULL&BEAR, and I obviously love the print and also the warm colours of the print.

And last, but certainly not least, I’ve purchased the cutest Mickey and Minnie Mouse sneakers from Bershka. As you can see Minnie is on the right shoe with the yellow detail, but Mickey is on the left shoe with the green detail. How cute is that!

MAC summer sale + Teyana Taylor lipsticks

Posted on September 27, 2020 by Mucha-Lucha

I picked up a few things in the MAC summer sale, and I thought I would share them with you. I picked up two of the Fix+ Vibes; Balance and Passion. I also picked two brushes; I decided to get the beautiful 494SES precision blush brush from the Masterpiece Mosaic collection and also the 228S mini shader brush. I love the Strobe Face Glaze from the Bronzing collection, so I purchased a back up of the shade Let’s Make Waves. Lastly, I got three lipsticks:

See Sheer (lustre) from the Petal Power collection,

Ambersand (matte) from the Masterpiece Mosaic collection,

and Men Love Mystery (matte).

Recently, I also purchased two of the lipsticks from the Teyana Taylor collection (these were not on sale). I got the shades Junie Bee (frost) and A Rose In Harlem (matte). I bought these two lipsticks on Asos.

Asos shoes and accessories haul

Posted on September 18, 2020 by Mucha-Lucha

I have little Asos shoes and accessories haul to share with you today. If I don’t mention the brand of an item, then it’s from Asos’ own brand.

I first saw these colourful loafers on Megan Ellaby, and I knew I had to have them. There’s an Elton John vibe to them, I think, and I’m not mad about that.

These might be the perfect autumn shoes. I love the brown suede and the chunky heel. They’ll be perfect for ’70s inspired outfits.

How cute are these pink gingham heels. I’m really excited to style these.

These purple mules from Public Desire are in the same style as these aqua-blue ones, and I really like both pairs. I really want them in brown and in pink as well.

I haven’t had a pair of Converse All Stars in quite a while, but I fell in love with these rainbow striped ones, and I’ve already worn them quite a bit.

Apparently, I have a thing for pearl bags, and I just couldn’t resist this purple and white one from Skinnydip.

As a lipstick wearer, this little pink lipstick holder was hard to pass on.

Another item with Elton John vibes. These sunglasses are from a brand called SVNX and I love the shape and all the rhinestones.

The last item in this haul is this little golden bracelet with a multicoloured rhinestone shell pendant, which I just thought was really cute and dainty.

Collective beauty haul: high end and drugstore

Posted on September 11, 2020 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a collective beauty haul to share with you. It’s a mix of high end and drugstore products.

Let’s start with the most exciting product; the Huda Beauty Mercury Retrograde eyeshadow palette. I’ve been wanting this palette since the beginning of the year, and I’m so happy that it’s finally mine. I love Huda Beauty eyeshadows, and these colours are absolutely stunning.

Next up is another palette, but this one is at the opposite end of the price spectrum. I’ve never tried anything from J-Cat Beauty before, but I was intrigued by this pocket size palette. It’s called the J-Cat X-Treme Access Pocket Shadow in Pops of Paparazzi, and as you can see it has a bunch of fun, bright colours. I haven’t tried this palette yet, but I’m excited to give it a go.

And now on to a couple of Fenty Beauty lip products. I’ve only heard good things about the Gloss Bombs, so I purchased a set of two to try them out, and I really like them. The shades are $weet mouth + Fenty glow. I also purchased the new shade of the Stunna Lip paints. I haven’t tried this product out yet, but I thought the shade Underdawg was beautiful. A perfect autumn/winter shade.

I love MAC Fix+ and use it everyday, and I love trying out new scents. I’ve never tried the watermelon scent before, so I had to buy this set of a full size Fix+ Watermelon and a mini regular Fix+.

I’ve also purchased a few things from Wet n Wild. I’ve been wanting to try out the Hello Halo blushlighter for a while, so I got the shade Highlight Bling, which is the lightest one. I’ve also purchased a few more brushes from Wet n Wild. They’re really nice for the affordable price.

And last but not least, I decided to get these three items from the Essence Wanna Bee My Honey? collection. I got the two brushes; and eyeshadow brush and a highlight brush. I also picked up the luminizing primer in 01 You’re Bee-autiful!. How pretty are these items!

Incredible second hand haul

Posted on August 27, 2020 by Mucha-Lucha

I usually always go for a full day of second hand shopping during my summer holiday, and this year was no exception. I found some incredible pieces too.

Sometimes you get really lucky and find the most amazing things. Like this gorgeous vintage dress. It’s so beautiful, and I felt really beautiful in it. I’m so excited to wear this on a special occasion one day.

How cute is this night gown! I’m not going to use it as a night gown though; I’ve actually already worn it, and it made a perfect summer dress.

This dress and blazer came as a set, and it’s so pretty. My sister actually found it for me: I guess she knows what I like.

I have several jumpers from this brand called Quimo in a similar style to this one, and I love them. They all have great colours and beautiful details, this one included.

I love pink, and this pink shirt is so cute. Just look at the buttons shaped like flowers!

My sister actually gave me this T-shirt that used to be hers. I don’t know if she bought it second hand or not, but it’s second hand to me.

How fun and unique is this T-shirt. The details on this are stunning, and I love the navy and gold together.

Another pink item. This time in the shape of a cute fuchsia summer top.

My sister also gave me these, and I know that she bought these second hand, because we were together when she bought them, and I was annoyed about the fact that she saw them first. She ended up never wearing them, and now they’re finally mine.

And now on to a few accessories. I found two bags. The first one is this cute creamy white shoulderbag that will go with so many outfits.

The second bag is this stunning beaded number. How pretty!

Last, but not least, I purchased two ties. They both have paisley prints, and I’m so excited about doing some suit styling soon.

Monki summer sale haul

Posted on August 22, 2020 by Mucha-Lucha

In the end of June I actually popped in to a physical Monki store (I usually shop online) and found the following items in their summer sale.

I’ve never been that into jumpsuits, but I really liked this navy one. I like the collar, sleeves and bottons and the fact that it ties at the waist. I also like the wide legs, and I’m really excited about styling this for autumn.

How cute is the matching floral set! I love botton up blouses and the fit of the skirt is perfect. It even has pockets! And the print is stunning of course.

I was a bit unsure about these wide leg flowy trousers, but I thought they would be great to just throw on on chilly summer days. I actually already own a botton up blouse/shirt in the same print, but the colours have faded on that one after being washed, so I won’t be wearing the two together.

This is just a cute little off shoulder crop top. Great for hot weather.

The last thing I purchased at Monki wasn’t in the sale, but I had been wanting a sunglasses chain and decided to get this simple silver one, and I’ve been using it ever since I bought it.

Jeffree Star Conspiracy collection + Cremated palette

Posted on August 16, 2020 by Mucha-Lucha

I don’t care about all the drama in the beauty community, I just care about great make-up, and Jeffree Star Cosmetics makes great make-up. I missed out on the Conspiracy collection when it released, but when it recently went back in stock, I purchased the two palettes and two lip products.

The two lip products I’ve bought are The Gloss in Shane Glossin’ which is a clear gloss and the Velour liquid lipstick in Are You Filming?. I haven’t tried the gloss yet, but I’ve already mentioned in my last 5 favourites post how much I love the liquid lipstick from this collection.

I collect Jeffree Star Cosmetics eyeshadow palettes, so I’m excited to add these two palettes to my collection. I really like the variety of colours in the Conspiracy palette, and I’ve been enjoying the looks, I’ve created with it. For the Mini Controversy palette I chose the newer Emerald edition, which has the shade Cry On My Couch swapped for the shade Put It Back!. I’ve only used this palette once, but so far so good.

Even though I tend to wear colourful eyeshadows more often than neutrals, I still had to add the Cremated palette to my collection. The packaging is stunning, and the one full eye look I’ve created with this palette was really pretty, so I’m excited to play around with this palette some more, especially in the autumn and winter time.

(Mainly) Disney Zara haul

Posted on August 7, 2020 by Mucha-Lucha

I don’t shop at Zara that often, but when I do it’s online, since there isn’t a Zara store close to where I live. I recently discovered that Zara has some awesome Disney pieces, so I’ve made a couple of orders lately that I’m combining in this one haul. Some of the pieces were on sale, and others are new. There are also a few non-Disney pieces in the haul.

Blå, gul, rød og hvid oversized sweater m. Mickey og Minnie Mouse print - Zara Hvid og sort stribet oversized sweater m. Mickey og Minne Mouse print - Zara

I found both of these oversized Mickey and Minnie Mouse jumpers in the sale, and I just had to have them. The first one is almost a dress, though I will definitely wear it with trousers underneath. I actually think it might be a Christmas jumper, or at least a winter jumper, but I really don’t mind that. The stripy one is more boxy, but super cute too.

Hvid T-shirt m. Disney prinsesser - Zara
