5 favourites – March

Posted on March 31, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

It’s the last day of March, my exams are over, and now I have a week off before my new courses start. Yay! March was a very busy month all about exams, so I’m really looking forward to April. I did manage to find some enjoyable things throughout March, and here are some of my favourites.

Maybelline Fit Me concealer (shade: 15): I’d been waiting and waiting for the Maybelline Fit Me line to make it’s way to Denmark, just so that I could get my hands on the concealer in the right shade, and it was definitely worth the wait. This concealer is so good, and I would recommend it to everyone.

Max Factor Creme Puff Blush (10 Nude Mauve) lukket

Max Factor Creme Puff Blush (shade: 10 Nude Mauve): Another product I’d been craving for the longest time. It’s such a pretty neutral blusher that looks great with any make-up look which is also why I’ve been wearing it a lot.

Essie nail polish (shade: Brides No Grooms): Back in High school I wore hot pink nail polish all the time, but the last couple of years I think I’ve only worn hot pink on my nails a few times. I think that’s all going to change now that I have this pretty pink polish. I’m wearing it on some of my nails here, and I loved it so much that I wore on all my nails last week.

kitty powers matchmaker

Kitty Powers’ Matchmaker (iPad game): I don’t play that many games on my iPad these days, but after watching people on YouTube playing this game, I decided to try it out myself. I haven’t played it much that past couple of weeks, but I played a ton in the beginning of the month, and it’s a good bit of fun.

disney_cinderella_2015-wide

Cinderella (film): I’ve mentioned before (several times I’m sure) that I love anything Disney, so obviously I’ve been wanting to watch this film ever since it came out last year. I didn’t get the chance to watch it until a week ago, and it was so good. The fairytale is great in itself, but I also loved the cast and the gorgeous costumes. If you’re a Disney fan and you haven’t watched this yet, I really think you should.

Fit me

Maybelline Fit Me

The Maybelline Fit Me line has finally made its way to Denmark, so I decided to try out the foundation, concealer and powder. My favourite product is definitely the concealer. It’s so good. It has great coverage and it looks beautiful on the skin. The foundation is very dewy, so if you have very oily skin, you might not like it, or at least you would have to set it with powder which I would do anyways. In the beginning I wasn’t sure I liked it, but I’ve been wearing it the past few days and I’ve liked the way my skin has looked, so I guess I have mixed feelings about this foundation. The powder feels really soft and light on the skin. It has a light coverage and it doesn’t look cakey on me, so I quite like it. The compact also has a mirror and comes with a puff that makes it easy to touch up on the go. In general I love that the Fit Me line has several shades that works on fair skin; I find that it can be extremely difficult to find good foundation and concealer shades for fair skin at the drugstore.

Nude’tude and FratBoy

Posted on March 22, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

Last month I finally bought some products from the Balm that I’ve been wanting for quite a while. I haven’t been able to show them to you until know, because I also bought my sister’s birthday present at the same webside, and I didn’t want her to get too suspicious. Anyways, I bought the Nude’tude eye shadow palette and the FratBoy blusher.

I’ve only worn eye shadows from this palette a few times so far, but the shadows I’ve used, I really like. I’ve swatched all the shades, and the pigmentation is great. As you can see, it’s a neutral palette, but I think it has a nice variety of colours, and I’m looking forward to create more looks with this palette. I absolutely love the packaging; the Balm’s packaging is always incredibly cute.

I’ve also been wanting to try out the Balm’s Boy blushers, and I decided that FratBoy should be my first one. It’s a beautiful coral pink, perfect for spring and summer, and I really like it. Once again the packaging is adorable.

Make-up Christmas presents

Posted on January 8, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

I wrote in my New Year’s Eve make-up post that I would tell you more about my make-up Christmas presents and here they are. I got three MAC products; two eye shadows and a lipstick.

The eye shadows I got are Mythology (on the left) and All That Glitters (on the right). Mythology has a lustre finish and the colour is simply described as a copper and it’s a gorgeous shade. All That Glitters has a veluxe pearl finish and is described as a beige with gold pearl. It’s one of the those shades that goes with anything. So pretty.

You’ve already seen the lipstick in action, but here it is before I wore it. It’s called Matte Royal and it has a matte finish (obviously). It came out with the Matte Lip Collection, and I’m actually not sure if the collection is permanent or not, but I’m so happy I got this amazing blue lipstick for Christmas.

Magic of the night

Posted on November 17, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

The product I wanted the most from this years holiday collections from MAC was this lipstick. It’s from the Magic of The Night Collection, it’s called Evening Rendezvous and it’s the only limited edition lipstick shade in the collection. It got sold out so quickly online, so I purchased it in store. I’m in love with both the packaging and the lipstick shade itself. Purple is my favourite colour so it doesn’t get much better than this.

Enchanted Eve

Posted on November 13, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

As you might have noticed I’m a bit obsessed with MAC, so of course I’d been waiting in anticipation for the holiday collections to launch and here’s what I purchased online (I also purchased another product in store which I’ll show you soon). It’s the Enchanted Eve pink lip bag, and as you can see it comes with a make-up bag, a lipstick, a lipglass and a lip pencil. All of these products are not for individual sale, so you can only get them in this holiday set.

The lipstick is called Goodbye Kiss and it’s in an amplified finish. It’s a limited edition shade and it’s described as a cool mid-tone pink. I love the amplified finish and this colour is just stunning. It’s a very wearable pink; great for everyday use.

The lipglass is called Frozen Dreams and is a repromoted shade. It’s described as a medium pink rose, and as you can see it has shimmer in it. Usually I’m not much for shimmery lip products, but I don’t think the shimmers in this product are that noticable on the lips. I’ve been wearing it in the centre of my lips on top of the Goodbye Kiss lipstick, and I think it looks gorgeous.

The lip pencil is called Just Wonderful and it’s also a limited edition shade. It’s described as a dirty mauve and like the lipglass it has shimmer in it, but again it’s not that noticable on the lips when you wear a lipstick on top. The colour is a bit darker than the lipstick and lipglass, but the three products look amazing together. I think they made my lips look pretty and plump. I’ll post pictures of me wearing these products soon.

5 favourites – September

Posted on September 30, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

September will be gone by tomorrow, and I can’t believe that the first month of autumn is already gone. I’ve been busy with uni the past month and it’ll continue in October; I have exams in a couple of weeks. I’m also going on an exciting trip in about a week and a half, but more about that later. And now let’s talk about some of my favourite things from September.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit (light to medium): I wrote here that I loved the three shades I’d tried at that point, and since then I’ve tried the other shades as well, and they’re just as good. This contour kit is really nice, and I’ve used it every day since I received it.

MAC eye shadow in Satin Taupe: I’d been craving this eye shadow for over a year I think, when I got it for my birthday in August, and I’ve worn it countless times since. It’s so beautiful, and I love how it can be worn both in a very subtle way and in a more intense way.

Silver earrings with hearts: I love rediscovering clothes, or make-up, or in this case jewellery. I got these earrings for my 12th birthday, right after I got my ears pierced, but I’ve never worn them much until this month. I’ve probably worn them 3-4 times a week the past month, and I love how simple and cute they are.

Inside Out (film): As I’ve mentioned before, I absolutely love Disney films, and I’d heard so many good things about this new Pixar one. I went to see it with a friend of mine in the beginning of September, and it was so good! One of the best Pixar films in my opinion.

Black Magic – Little Mix: I’ve never listened to any other Little Mix songs, and I don’t really listen to new pop music in general, but this song is just so damn catchy. Maybe it’s because it has kind of an 80’s vibe to it?:)

ABH contour kit

Posted on September 19, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

Finally it’s mine! I’ve been wanting to get my hands on the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit for so long and last month I finally ordered it of Beautybay.com. It took a while before I received it, but now I have time to really play around with it. I’ve only tried half the shades (Vanilla, Banana, and Fawn) so far, but I love them, and I can’t wait to try out the other half.

4 from Rimmel

Posted on August 28, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

A couple of weeks ago there was a 3 for 2 deal on Rimmel make-up, and I had to take advantage of that:) I had to try one of the Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate lipsticks from the new nude range. I chose 45 which is a mauvy, pinky nude. I also picked up another Rimmel Provocalips, because they’re so good, and I’ve been wanting the hot pink shade for a really long time (it’s called 310 Little Minx). The last Rimmel 3 for 2 product I picked up was the Stay Matte powder in 001 Transparent, and I love it. I’ve been wearing it everyday since I bought it. I also found a Rimmel Moisture Renew lipstick on sale. It’s in the colour 330 Sloane’s Plum and is a gorgeous deep plum.

Cocopanda haul

Posted on August 26, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

Two weeks ago I ordered some products from the Danish online beauty store Cocopanda.dk and I received the parcel Monday last week. These are some products I’ve been wanting for a long time, so I’m really excited about them.

First of all I had to pick up the Mary-Lou Manizer highlighter by the Balm. I’ve been craving this highlighter for ages, and I’m so glad that it’s finally mine. It’s such a beautiful, pigmented champagne highlighter; perfect for most skin tones.

Some other products I’ve been craving are the NYX Macaron lippies. I love trying out new lip colours, and this lipstick line has a range of fun, ‘out there’ colours. I picked up Pistachio and Blue Velvet. I haven’t worn Blue Velvet yet, but I was very impressed by the pigmentation and staying power of Pistachio.

The last item (or couple of items) I purchased was the Real Techniques Sculpting Set. I love Real Techniques brushes and I was drawn to this set. It has a sculpting brush, a fan brush, and a setting brush and they’re all very good.
