5 favourites – September

Posted on September 30, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

Another month has passed, and I really can’t believe how fast time flies. September was all about Uni, and it won’t be long before my next exam. Weatherwise it has actually started to feel like autumn (we were blessed with a very warm first half of September), and even though I don’t enjoy the cold weather, I’m looking forward to be putting together autumn outfits. But before we jump further into the autumn season, here are some of my favourite things from the past month.

hvide-sandaler-vrs

White sandals by VRS: Because the weather was so lovely in the first half of September, I got to wear sandals a lot. I’m so happy I bought these white ones in the end of August, because I’ve worn them a ton.

MAC eye shadow in Nylon: This has quickly become my new favourite eye shadow from MAC. It’s the perfect inner corner and browbone highlight, and I’ve worn it almost every day the past weeks.

Milani powder blush in 01 Romantic Rose: This is pretty much the perfect blusher for any make-up look. It’s matte, it delivers the perfect amount of pigment and it just looks beautiful on the cheeks.

MAC Trip the Light Fantastic powder in Luna Luster: Initially I didn’t think I would purchase anything from the Star Trek collection, but I’m so happy that I decided to get this highlighter. Even though I’m a bit dissappointed the the cheap-feeling packaging the product itself is just gorgeous, and it has been one of my most worn highlighters this past month.

bridget-jones-online-image1

Bridget Jones’s Baby (film): I’m a huge Bridget Jones fan, so I was really looking forward to watch the newest addition to the Bridget Jones franchise. This film is just as good as the former two (which I’ve watched a million times); it’s so funny and sweet and I just loved it.

5 favourites – July

Posted on July 31, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

July has come to an end, and it’s been really nice having some time off. I spent the past four weeks with my family, and now I’m back home (and by home I mean my home). It’s been really nice being on summer holiday (though I’m studying at the moment because I have an exam in a few days) and my holiday is not over yet (thank god). Btw, I created an instagram account today which is mainly going to be an extension of the blog. I’m @muchaluchas and there’s a link in my blogroll in the sidebar. But enough about that for now; here’s some of my favourite things from the month of July.

MAC lipstick in Faux: I haven’t worn make-up that often this past month, because I’ve just been staying at my parents summer house, but most of the times I did wear make-up I wore this lipstick. It just the perfect neutral, ‘my lips but better’ shade for me.

Morphe M510 brush: This is the best brush for highlighter I’ve tried so far. It’s fluffy and not too big, so it gives you a very precise application while blending out the product at the same time.

Vintage Style – Sarah Kennedy: As I’ve probably mentioned before, I don’t read much on an everyday basis (other than for my studies), but I usually read a bit in my summer holiday, and this year I’ve been reading this book about vintage style. It has beautiful pictures of vintage style icons and gives you tips on how to get the style, and I’ve really enjoyed reading it.

2014_big_hero_6-wide

Big Hero 6 (film): As the huge Disney fan I am, it’s always exciting when I get to watch a Disney film I haven’t watched before. It was actually my mum who raved about this film, and I wasn’t disappointed. This film is great, and I can’t wait to watch it again.

Glass cup with lid and straw: This is a bit of a random favourite. My youngest sister and I got these cups this summer and she made us water with lime (and lemon) and mint several times and it was such a great way of actually drinking water during the day + the cups are super cute.

5 favourites – June

Posted on June 30, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

Another month has come to an end, and I can’t believe how fast time goes by. June was probably the toughest month ever exam wise, but now I’m enjoying my summer holiday. I wish the warm weather would come back soon though. Anyways, before we jump right into July, here’s some om my favourite things from the month of June.

Sorte gladiator sandaler - Vagabond

Black gladiator sandals by Vagabond: In the beginning of June the weather in Denmark was amazing, and I think I wore these sandals everyday for week. I bought them a couple of years ago, but the Danish weather is rarely warm enough to wear sandals, so I hadn’t used them much until recently. I love them because they remind me of something the characters from Disney’s Hercules would wear, and Hercules is my favourite Disney film.

MAC lip pencil in Soar: As I wrote here, I’d been wanting this lip pencil for so long, so when it was finally back in stock I purchased it, and I love it. It’s such a beautiful brown pink mauve colour that goes with so many different lip colours and it also looks gorgeous on its own.

MAC Prep + Prime Fix +: Another MAC product I’ve loved this past month and that I’m sure I’ll continue to love is the famous Fix + finishing spray. I love that this product has several purposes; it makes your skin look and feel lovely, and it’s amazing for intensifying eye shadows.

Marc Jacobs Honey perfume: I got this perfume about a year ago, and I’ve always loved it, but it’s been my go-to scent this past month because I find that it’s quite summery.

me before you

Me Before You (film): Ever since I first saw the trailer for this film, I knew I wanted to watch it. I went to the cinema with a friend two days ago to watch it, and I wasn’t disappointed. It was such a sweet film with lovely characters, and I would be lying if I said I didn’t shed a tear (or two).

5 favourites – May

Posted on May 31, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

The last month of spring has come to an end and by tomorrow it’ll be officially summer. Luckily, the Danish weather is amazing and very summery at the moment; too bad I have to be indoors most of the time to study for my exams. Anyways, I had quite a few favourites this month, but I managed to pick out five to share with you.

L’Oréal Nude Magique Cushion Dewy Glow foundation (shade: 01 Porcelain): I did a first impressions post on this foundation, and I still enjoy it. It’s actually the only foundation I’ve worn since I purchased it. It’s very easy to work with and it’s nice and glowy.

MAC Dunes At Dusk Gleamtones powder: This limited edition highlighting powder from MAC’s Vibe Tribe collection is so gorgeous. I’ve been wearing it a ton, and it’s quite different from any other highlighter I own, but so beautiful. Very summer appropriate in a way.

revenant-gallery-20-gallery-image

The Revenant (film): I had been wanting to watch The Revenant ever since it premiered, and I finally got to watch a few days before it stopped playing at the cinemas, and I’m so glad I did. It was a great film though very harsh, and it was beautifully shot. If I one day get the opportunity to watch again I definitely will.

Can’t Stop The Feeling – Justin Timberlake: I think a lot of you will agree with me when I say that Justin Timberlake is awesome. I’ve mentioned before that ‘N Sync is my all time favourite boyband, but JT has an incredible solo career as well. This song from the Trolls amimation film is so damn catchy, and I love it!

las-vegas-tattoo-photographer001

My first tattoo: My absolute favourite this month is my very first tattoo (no, it is not me being tattooed in the picture – it’s just a picture from Google Images). I’ve been wanting to get a tattoo since I was 15, and I’ve been wanting the specific tattoo that I got, since I was 16, and I’m so happy that I finally had it done. It turned out exactly how I wanted it, and I love it so much. I got the tattoo for me, and it’s one of a kind (unless someone else out there had the same strange idea), so I’m not going to show it to you (at least for now). I think it looks great, and I’m looking forward to having it on my body for the rest of my life.

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.

5 favourites – February

Posted on February 29, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

From tomorrow on it’ll officially be spring, even though the weather in Denmark states otherwise. I really wish that the weather would become warmer very soon. Not that I would have much time to enjoy it, since March is going to be all about exams. I can’t believe that I already have exams again. Anyways, my favourites from the past month consists of the two M’s; Make-up and Movies.

Zoeva En Taupe eye shadow palette: I’m so glad I purchased this palette. It’s been my most used palette since I received it in the end of January. If you want to see what the shades inside the palette look like, you can check out this post.

Makeup Geek blusher in Spell Bound: I was really excited about trying out Makeup Geek’s blushers, and I was not disappointed. The shade I’ve been especially loving is Spell Bound which is my go-to kind of blush shade.

MAC lipstick in Von Teese: This has probably been my most worn lipstick this past month. It’s the perfect shade of red in my opinion and I love the matte finish. I’m wearing it here.

harry and sally

When Harry Met Sally (film): I’ve been wanting to watch this classic romcom for I don’t know how many years, and I finally caught it on TV a few weeks back. I really enjoyed it, and I see why it’s a classic.

snow-white-and-the-huntsman-1024

Snow White & The Huntsman (film): This is another film that pleasantly suprised me this month. I love that it has a twist on the original story about Snow White plus I won’t complain about a film which have both Chris Hemsworth and Sam Claflin in it:)

5 favourites – January

Posted on January 31, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

The first month of 2016 has come to an end. January has been pretty much the same since I started at Uni. I think this year January has been particulary tough; I had three exam and no holiday because my new courses started last Monday. I’m really tired of the stormy, rainy weather, and I’m in general really looking forward to spring. But we have one more official month left of winter, and I hope it’s going to be a good one. Before jumping into the last winter month, here’s some of my favourite things from January.

Sorte natbukser m. snefnug

Black pyjama bottoms with snowflakes from H&M: I bought these pyjama bottoms the same day that I bought these items, and they came in really handy, when I fell ill while I was writing an exam paper. They are the most comfortable thing I own and they’re so warm.

MAC eye shadow in All That Glitters: This is one of the eye shadows I got for Christmas and I have been wearing it a ton. Most times I’ve been wearing it together with my MAC Satin Taupe eye shadow which has been my go-to eye shadow look this month.

Sleek palet åben 2

Sleek Face Form contouring and blush palette – bronzer/contour shade: I rediscovered the bronzer/contour shade in this little Sleek palette. I haven’t had much time to do my make-up this month, and I definitely didn’t have time to both contour and bronze, and this powder is the perfect in-between.

bourne

The Bourne trilogy (films): Earlier this month I watched The Bourne trilogy with my dad. I’ve been wanting to watch these films for a while, and I thought they were great. They’re the kind of films where you have to pay attention to keep up, but that’s usually what makes a film interesting.

Come Away With Me – Norah Jones (album): I got this album for Christmas (it was on my wishlist) and it’s pretty much the only thing I’ve been listening to in January. There’s not one song on the album that I don’t like. It’s from 2002, but I think it’s timeless if you like this kind of music.

5 favourites – November

Posted on November 30, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

Yes! Finally, December is only one day away. November was a very busy month for me, but a good one nonetheless, but really I’ve just been waiting for December to arrive. December is my absolute favourite month; I love everything Christmassy, and one of my favourites from November shows that.

Black woollen coat from Vila: It’s definitely gotten colder in Denmark during November, and I’ve been loving this black woolen coat. It’s really simple and elegant I think, and it goes with any outfit.

Black Nike Air Max sneakers: Even though it’s gotten colder outside, most of November still wasn’t so cold that you couldn’t wear sneakers, and I’ve worn these countless times the past month.

NYX Matte lipstick in Natural: I love matte lipsticks, especially when they’re not to drying on the lips. This one from NYX is really comfortable on the lips and the colour is gorgeous. It’s one of those lip colours that goes with most make-up looks.

Gilmore Girls (TV series): I recently started re-watching Gilmore Girls, and I’m just as in love with this TV-series this time around as I was the first time I watched it. I love the relationship between Lorelai and Rory, and I think the series overall is incredibly entertaining.

Miss You Most (At Christmas Time) – Mariah Carey: I’m sure a lot of people love Mariah’s ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ (me included), but I personally think ‘Miss You Most’ is so underrated. It’s such a beautiful Christmas song, and I’ve been listening to it a ton this past month (along side other Christmas songs).

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?:)

5 favourites – August

Posted on August 31, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

The last official summer month will be over by tomorrow which I find really sad, but then again, I had a great month, and I’m already slowly starting to look forward to Christmas (I know, crazy). In August I had my last three weeks of summer holiday (uni started again last week) which I spent with friends and family and I had some great times. I had a lot of favourites this month and it was quite difficult to narrow it down to 5, but these are the ones that made the cut:)

Rimmel Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed Powder in 001 Transparent: I’m pretty sure I’ve only heard good things about this powder, and I have to agree; it’s a great powder. It leaves you skin matte for such a long time + it’s very affordable. I’m a fan!

Stila In the Light eye shadow palette: I’ve had this palette over a year, and I’ve been loving it since day one, but this month in particular I’ve been wearing it non stop. My two most worn shades have been Bliss and Kitten. You can get a closer look at the palette here.

e.l.f. Lip Exfoliator: When you wear lipstick on a daily basis, you sometimes have to take extra care of your lips and it doesn’t have to be expensive. This lip exfoliator is so affordable and it helps removing dry chapped skin from your lips and keeping them nice and soft.

Pitch Perfect 2 (film): On my birthday I invited my sisters to go watch Pitch Perfect 2 with me at the cinema. I love the first one, so I was very excited about the second one, and I was not disappointed. I love music, and I’m in a choir myself, so these films definitely appeals to me, and I’m surely going to watch this again some time.

The Sims 4 + The Sims 4 Get to Work (computer game): The Sims 4 is without a doubt my favourite favourite this month. I got the base game and the Get to Work expansion pack for my birthday and I’ve played it a ton since. I’ve been playing The Sims more than 10 years now (both the original one and The Sims 2; I don’t own The Sims 3 though), and I don’t think I’ll ever get to old to play these games:)
