Collective haul (May 2024)

Posted on August 30, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a collective haul to share with you today. It includes beauty, accessories, one piece of clothing, and one pair of shoes. Let’s begin with the beauty stuff.

I’m a huge Kayali fan, so I’m always excited when they launch a new scent. This is the Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar I 42 Eau de Parfum, and I always get the 10 ml bottle, because I wear my perfumes lightly. I love the Vanilla I 28 scent from Kayali, so I was excited about this one, but I have to say that I was a little disappointed, when I smelled it. It smells more floral than I thought and less sweet and candy like.

I featured the Sol de Janeiro Carioca Crush perfume mist in my July favourites post, and it’s a lovely, fruity scent.

And speaking of Sol de Janeiro, I really wanted the Cheriosa ’62 Eau de Parfum (50 ml), because I love the 62 perfume mist/body spray, and I got it in a set with the Brazilian Bum Bum cream (25 ml) for a really good prize. At the same website I also picked up the Buxom Serial Kisser plumping lip stain in Beso, which is a red shade.

Moving on to some more make-up. I featured the L’Oréal Glotion natural glow enhancer in 901 Fair Glow in my June favourites post, and I still love this product.

I love a glowy blush and the Maybelline Sunkisser blushes are really nice, so I picked up some more shades: 02 Uptown Glow, 08 Shades On, and 12 Summer In The City.

Another Maybelline product I really enjoy are the Superstay Vinyl Ink liquid lipsticks, and just look at these beautiful shades; 150 Striking, 155 Upbeat, and 170 Unafraid.

The Dior Forever Glow Maximizers are so beautiful, so I got another shade called 014 Rosy, which is a stunning blush on my skin tone.

I remember the Collection brand from when I briefly lived in England 10 years ago, and the Danish drugstore now carries the line, so I decided to try out the brand again.

This is the Collection cream bronzer in Shade 1 Bronze (the only shade). It’s a bit orangy.

This is the Collection Diamond Shine highlighter in Shine Bright 1, which looks like a dupe for the Fenty Beauty Diamond Bomb All Over Diamond Veil, but this one is dryer.

Some more products inspired by Fenty Beauty; it’s the Collection Gorgeous Glow sticks in Blush 1 and Highlight 2.

Collection is also inspired by Charlotte Tilbury. This is the Collection Filter Finish liquid blush light wand in 2 Peach Pleasure, and it’s actually quite pretty.

The Collection mini eyeshadow palette in Explorer Solar Voyage 3 and the Collection hydrating lipstick in Sweet Rose 28 are nothing special.

And now jewellery. This is a pair of beautiful earrings from Maanesten. They’re called Notus, and I’ve worn them quite a bit.

Here’s a bunch of cute jewellery pieces I got 15% off from H&M.

Did I buy another bow hair clip? Yes I did.

Is this my first straw hat? No, it’s not, but I didn’t have one with a tie. It’s also from H&M.

I already have this style of dress from H&M in blue, but it’s just such a good dress for hot summer days, so I got one in pink as well.

And lastly, a pair of Nike Cortex sneakers with my name written all over them. How could I not buy a pair of pink and red Nike Cortez!

Colourpop haul – Beauty and The Beast + more (April 2024)

Posted on August 20, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a Colourpop haul to share with you today. This haul includes the Beauty and The Beast collection, some sale items and more.

I’m pretty sure this is the entire Beauty and The Beast collection, which includes an eyeshadow palette, a Super Shock highlighter, two pressed powder blushes, two lip kits, and a lip mask.

This is what the eyeshadow palette looks like. I think this is a very pretty palette that captures the film and the characters of Belle and the Beast very well. I wore it here together with some of the other products from the collection.

The two pressed powder blushes come in the shades Ms. Potts and Chip, and both shades are lovely.

The Super Shock highlighter is in the shade Special Guest. I don’t particularly like this huge packaging, but I love the Super Shock highlighter formula.

These are the two Lux lipstick kits in Great Adventure (Belle’s kit) and Break the Spell (Beast’s kit). The Great Adventure kit comes with the Not So Odd Lux lipstick and the Bookworm Ultra Glossy lip, and the Break the Spell kit comes with the Last Petal Lux lipstick and the Kind & Gentle Ultra Glossy lip. I really like both of these lip kits.

And of course the collection had to include a cute, on theme lip mask, and this one is called the Enchanted Rose lip mask.

And sticking with the Disney Princess theme I picked up the Disney Designer collection It’s A Princess Thing palette on sale.

The only other palette I got (which wasn’t on sale) is the So Elemental palette, which is a beautiful cool-toned blue palette.

I don’t know anything about Naruto, but I love the Super Shock shadows, and I thought this Ninja Academy Super Shock shadow set looked really cute. It comes with the three shades (from left to right) Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha.

I also picked up a couple more Super Shock shadows. These are in the shades Flower Child and For Real.

Speaking of Super Shock, I also love the Super Shock blushes, so I picked up these three shades called (from left to right) Growth Flirt, Drop of a Hat, and Bardot.

I hadn’t tried this more glowy version of the pressed powder blushes, so I purchased these two shades called Morning Vibes and Dancing Queen.

Lastly, I wanted to try the So Juicy plumping gloss balms and picked up the She’s So Juicy set, which includes the shades (from left to right) Guava Glaze, Dolled Up, and Berry Spritz. So far I like these.

Purish haul (April 2024)

Posted on August 15, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a beauty haul to share with you today. I purchased these products from the German site Purish.

The Lunar Beauty Moonshroom collection is one of the main reasons I made this order. I think this palette is so stunning. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.

I also got the Moonshroom highlighter palette, which is such a stunner as well.

This is the Lethal Cosmetics Mellow Grove palette, which is another palette I had my eye on. I really enjoyed the Lethal Cosmetics Midnight Serenade palette, so I was hoping that this palette would have the same great quality.

From Lethal Cosmetics I also picked up the Magnetic face powder in Pansy and two of the Haze plush lip creams in the shades Leeward and Hydra. I really like the glowy blushes from Lethal Cosmetics, and this Pansy shade is so fun. I haven’t tried the Haze plush lip creams yet.

Lastly, I got the Danessa Myricks Beauty Blurring Buddies holiday kit, which includes a mini of the Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder in Universal and the Blurring Balm Powder Flushed in the shade It Girl. I already own a full size of the Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder in Universal, which I love, and I’ve got another shade of the Blurring Balm Powder Flushed blushes, so I knew that they were good. They’re some of the most long lasting cream blushes I’ve tried.

Matas haul – mainly sale (April 2024)

Posted on July 20, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a make-up haul to share with you today. I purchased these items from the Danish “drugstore” Matas, and most of the items were on sale.

These are the Clarins Lip Comfort Oil Intense in the shades 01 Intense Nude and 02 Intense Plum. I love the “regular” Clarins Lip Comfort Oils, so I thought it would be fun to try out a more pigmented version.

MAC reformulated there matte lipsticks earlier this year, and I’d been wanting to try one out, so I picked the classic shade Candy Yum Yum, which I never owned before. It’s such a pretty, vibrant pink colour.

I’ve been enjoying the Fenty Beauty We’re Even hydrating longwear concealer. I got the shade 120N. I’d heard good things about the Fenty Skin lip oils, so I picked up the Fruit Quench’rz hydrating + conditioning lip oil duo, which include the Melon Treat and the Cherry Treat lip oils. I’ve been wearing the Cherry Treat one quite a bit lately, and it feels lovely and luxurious on the lips.

I was so excited about this Fenty Beauty launch. It’s the Demi’ Glow light-diffusing highlighter in Pretty Purlz 01, and it’s absolutely stunning.

The last Fenty Beauty product in this haul is the Gloss Bomb universal lip luminizer in Fuchsia Flex 12. I’d seen people on Instagram wear it, and it just looked so pretty.

Let’s move on to this little mix of glowy cheek products. I got the Essence So Mesmerizing blush stick in 01 Let Mermiracles Happen!, the Essence Blush Crush! in 10 Caramel Latte, the RMS Beauty ReDimension hydra powder blush in French Rosé, the Iconic London Multi-Use Cheek Glow blush in Hot Stuff, and the Dior Forever Glow Maximizer in 011 Pink.

Here’s a closer look at most of the products. All 5 of these products are lovely.

I enjoyed the RMS Beauty ReDimension hydra powder blush so much that I had to pick up another shade. I chose the shade Bohemian Girl. I also bought the RMS Beauty ReDimension hydra dew luminizer in Prosecco Fizz, which is also really pretty.

Lastly, I purchased four products from the Essence Got A Crush On Apricots collection. I picked up the swirl lipgloss in 01 Apricotly In Love, the aura blush in 01 Abracadapricots, the baked highlighter in 01 Feel The Apricôt D’Azur Sun, and the jelly lip care in 01 Apricoated With Love.

Collective haul (April 2024)

Posted on July 15, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a rather large collective haul to share with you today. It includes a lot of beauty products, ond piece of clothing, and some shoes.

I love the Anastasia Beverly Hills lip liners, so I picked up another shade called Chai, which is a beautiful deep brown.

I picked up these four products from Cocopanda, and I got 10% off all four products. I purchased the Milani Cheek Kiss cream bronzer in 110 Hey Honey, the Physicians Formula Bread & Butter bronzer in Toasty, the Physicians Formula Strawberry Jam blush in Strawberry, and the Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Peptide lip treatment in Blood Orange Spritz. I haven’t used these products enough to form a proper opinion on them yet, but they sure look cute.

They next products coming up I purchased from Sephora. This is the R.E.M. Beauty Yours Truly makeup set which includes the Midnight Shadows liquid eyeshadow in 1954, the On Your Collar plumping lipgloss in Pink Razor, and the Interstellar highlighter topper in Honeymoon High.

From R.E.M. Beauty I also got the Essential Drip glossy balm in Shirley, and I had to pick up one of the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch luminous powder blushes and chose the shade Cheer, which is so pretty.

Here’s another set I purchased from Sephora. It’s the Laneige Berries ‘N Choco Kisses lip duo set, which includes a full size Lip Glowy Balm in Berry and a mini Lip Sleeping Mask in Chocolate. I haven’t tried these out yet.

The last products I got from Sephora are the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 59 and 71 perfume mists (90 ml). I really enjoy both of these scents, though they’re very different.

These last beauty products I got in a Lyko sale. I bought two of the Maybelline Sunkisser blushes (shades: 5 Blazing Blush and 6 City Sizzle), the Catrice Kohl Kajal Waterproof im 180 Red Coral, the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara in Burgundy Haze, and then I got the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 68 perfume mist (90 ml) as a point shop gift.

The only piece of clothing in this collective haul is this pair of purple sequin trousers from Crás, which I got on sale. They’re so fun.

And lastly, shoes. I picked up these snake print pumps in an H&M sale. They’re quite classic and I don’t have anything else like these.

You know my favourite style of sneakers are Nike Cortez, and I kind of collect them at this point. This navy blue version is a great and very wearable addition to my growing collection.

The last pair of shoes in this haul is this pair of dark cherry Crocs Stomp winter boots. I’m excited to wear these next winter.

First ever Haus Labs haul (March 2024)

Posted on July 10, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

Haus Labs finally came to Sephora in Denmark back in March, so I picked up some products from the brand to try out.

For the face, I got the Triclone Skin Tech hydrating concealer in 03 Fair Rosy, the Bio-Radiant Gel-Powder highlighter in Peach Quartz, and the Color Fuse powder blushes in Dragon Fruit Daze and Hibiscus Haze.

I’m not sure how I feel about the concealer. First of all, I didn’t pick the best shade; it’s a little light. Second of all, I don’t think the coverage is that great.

The highlighter is quite pretty though, and I picked a shade that I normally wouldn’t pick, but I just thought it would be fun to try something a little different.

The blushes are propably my favourites from the brand that I’ve tried to far. Especially the shade Dragon Fruit Daze, which is such a fun, vibrant pink.

Lastly, I picked up a selection of different lip products. I got the PhD Hybrid lip oil in Hue, the Atomic Shake lip lacquer in Red Coral Shine, and the Le Monster lip crayon in Crimson Matte. I haven’t tried the lip oil yet, but I’ve heard good things about it. The Atomic Shake lip lacquer is a difficult lip product to use. I had to take it off twice, and then watch a Youtube video on how to apply it, before it worked for me, but when you apply it correctly it is very pretty on the lips. And I wore the Le Monster lip crayon to a wedding last month and was very happy with the finish, colour, and wear of the product.

5 favourites – June

Posted on June 30, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

Can you believe that we’re already half way through 2024?! I can’t. Once again, this past month has been a month of ups and downs, but luckily I’ve got all of July off, and I’m definitely in need of a holiday. I’m hoping for nice, sunny weather, but you never know when you live in Denmark. July is not always the best summer month weather wise. Anyways, I actually had a lot of favourites this month, but I did manage to narrow it down to five, so let’s talk about those.

Tank tops: A few years back I wasn’t really into wearing tank tops, but recently my collection of tank tops have grown, and I’ve worn them so often this past month, often underneath another layer, but also on their own when the weather was nice.

Big flower brooches: I’ve been wanting some Carrie Bradshaw like big flower brooches for so long, and I finally came across these two (and a couple more actually). Carrie Bradshaw is one of my biggest style icons, and she’s one of my main outfit inspirations this summer, so these flower brooches are must haves.

L’Oréal Glotion natural glow enhancer (shade: 901 Fair Glow): There are a lot of products like this on the market, and I own a couple of different ones, but this one sets itself apart from the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter and its dupes in both the packaging and application, but also when it comes to the shade. This L’Oréal one is more of a cool toned pinky shade, whereas the others I’ve tried are more champagne or golden champagne, so I like to have different options, and I do think that the L’Oréal Glotion is stunning.

Bobbi Brown Sheer Finish pressed powder (shade: Soft Porcelain): I have to admit that I purchased this powder mainly for the beautiful packaging, however, I’ve found out that it’s a beautiful powder. It’s very lightweight and it just makes you skin look good.

Bridgerton – season 1 (TV series): I know, I know. How did it take me so long to watch the first season of Bridgerton. I don’t really know, but I do know that I’m so glad that I finally started watching this series, because I was hooked right away. I’ve already started watching season 2, and I’m excited to continue to follow the Bridgerton family.

Zalando sale haul (March 2024)

Posted on June 29, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a Zalando sale haul to share with you today. It includes one piece of clothing, two pairs of shoes, and some make-up bits.

The only clothing item in this haul is this shiny pink shirt from Monki, which I thought would be a nice layering piece.

These lime green mules are also from Monki. I already own them in dark grey denim, but I just love this kind of green colour so much, so I had to have this version as well.

You have no idea how much I wanted a pair of Jeffrey Campbell Litas back in the early 2010’s, but I was a teenager, and they were a little too expensive for me to buy back then. When I came across this multicoloured glitter pair at Zalando and saw that they were on sale, I purchased them immediately, and my teenage dream of owning a pair of Litas finally came true. I wore them in my latest outfit post.

Earlier this year MAC launched a collection based on their famous Teddy lipstick. I picked up the Lustreglass lipstick in Ready Teddy and the Deeply Teddy lip pencil. I’m wearing both on my lips here.

3ina makes really nice lip products. I had already tried the The Color Lip Glow formula and really liked it, so I picked up two more shades; 114 (Terracotta Brown) and 170 (Coral Red). I’d also been wanting to try the lipsticks just called The Lipstick, and I picked up the two shades 172 (Orange) and 430 (Cold Purple). These are very nice lipsticks too.

Lastly, I got the L’Oréal Infaillible 3-Second setting mist. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m definitely intrigued by it.

Collective haul – make-up (March 2024)

Posted on June 24, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a collective make-up haul to share with you today. I purchased these products back in March.

The e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Poreless Putty primer is one of my favourite primers, and I don’t want to run out of it without having a back-up ready.

The Pixi + Hello Kitty collection is by no means new, but I’d been intrigued by the Chrome Glow palette in Charming Glow, which is an all shimmer highligher and blush palette, and I have to say that I’ve been really enjoying it so far.

These next three products I purchased in a Sephora sale. I wasn’t sure I wanted to get the Natasha Denona Hy-Per Natural face palette, but as it was on sale, I picked it up. It’s a nice travel palette. On the other hand, I definitely wanted to pick up the Natasha Denona My Mini Dream glow blush. Isn’t is cute? I also got the Sephora Collection Soft Matte & Easy smooth matte lip colour in Yes And? 9, which is a pretty coral red shade.

From Essence I bought two of the Baby Got Blush liquid blushes, and they’re in the shades 10 Pinkalicious and 30 Dusty Rose. I also got The Slim Stick lipstick in 103 Brickroad, the Call Me Queen mascara, and the Brow Lifting gel set.

This is the Iconic London Multi-Use Cheek Glow Blush in Play Time, and it’s such a pretty, glowy blush. I’ve been really into glowy blushes lately.

Lastly, I just had to buy the Clarins Lip Comfort Oil Neon collection including three shades in 21 Joyful Yellow, 22 Daring Orange, and 23 Passionate Pink. The Clarins Lip Comfort Oil is one of my favourite lip oil formulas. And they smell incredible!

Collective haul – clothes (March 2024)

Posted on June 19, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a collective clothes haul to share with you today. Everything in this haul was purchased on sale.

These beautiful dresses are from the Danish brand Crás, which is a brand that I’ve been really into lately. They make such fun and colourful pieces, and these dresses are no exception.

This dress is also from Crás and it’s so pretty and so flattering on.

I’ve already posted an outfit with this acid lime sweater vest, and I think it’s such a fun layering piece.

I’m a little obsessed with the blazers from Crás, and how stunning is this swim blue colour as it’s called?

I’m so obsessed with the Crás blazers that I also got one in pink, and for this one I also picked up matching trousers.

The last piece I got from Crás is this pastel, striped summer hat, and I think it’s adorable. I’m pretty sure, I’m going to bring this hat with me on summer holiday this year.

Here’s the only item I picked up from Asos. They’re flared trousers from the brand Reclaimed Vintage, and I’ve already got good use out of them.

The next handful of pieces are from H&M. I’m getting a lot of use out of these kinds of tank tops these days, so I’m glad to have added a white one and a tomato red one to my collection.

I’m really into olive green/swampy greens at the moment, so I love the colour of this shirt.

It’s not often that I add new belts to my wardrobe these days, but I thought this pink one would be a fun addition.

The next three (colourful) pieces are from a brand called YAS. I’ve been to two weddings this year, and I wore this beautiful maxi dress to the first one. I wasn’t sure if the style suited me, but I got so many compliments on my wedding guest look.

How fun is this shirt? I just love the colours!

This skirt is so me. I love the length, and I love the print.

This is just a nice, plain orange T-shirt that I bought on the same day as the three pieces from YAS. It’s from a brand called Kaffe, which means coffee in Danish.

The last three pieces are all second hand. It’s been nice to slowly get into second hand shopping again. My mum found this dress for me, and it’s really cute and quite different from anything else I own. I love the neckline.

I’ve already posted a look with this grey kilt skirt. I love finding fun pieces like this.

And speaking of fun pieces. This last piece might look like a green and navy tartan skirt, but it’s actually trousers. It’s finding these kinds of pieces that make second hand shopping so fun.
