5 favourites – January

Posted on January 31, 2026 by Mucha-Lucha

The first month of the year felt both long and short at the same time. We’ve had very cold and snowy weather in Denmark this past month, which has been a bit of an obstacle transportation-wise. On the other hand, it’s nice that we still get to experience snow. It’s been a busy month at work, and this pregnancy is a little hard on me, so I’m looking forward to slowing down in a few weeks. But first, let’s talk about some of my favourite things from the past month.

Blue straight leg jeans (H&M MAMA): My first two favourites are both trousers. I don’t fit a lot of trousers these days, so I’m wearing these maternity jeans and the corduroy trousers below all the time.

Khaki green corduroy trousers (H&M MAMA): I love me a pair of corduroy trousers, and I haven’t worn a pair in a while, so I’ve been loving this maternity pair. Love the colour as well.

Three strand pearl necklace (H&M): I love a pearl necklace of any kind, and this three strand one from H&M has been one of my go-to necklaces this past month.

Makeup By Mario SoftSculpt shaping stick (shade: Fair): I think I purchased this stick bronzer in a Black Friday sale in 2024, but because I love my other two SoftSculpt products from Makeup By Mario, I never really tested this one out properly. But when I had limited access to my make-up collection during our move, I pulled this one out from my collection, and it was the only cream bronzer I used for about 1,5 months, and I’ve really enjoyed using it.

Kastanjemanden (The Chestnut Man) by Søren Sveistrup (book): This is one of the best books, if not the best, that I’ve read since I got into reading last summer. It’s a Danish crime fiction novel, but it has been translated into English and other languages as well, so if you like crime fiction, I definitely recommend you check this book out. After I finished the book, I watched the TV series, and it was absolutely great as well.

Collective indie haul – Black Friday (November 2025)

Posted on January 28, 2026 by Mucha-Lucha

It’s time for the first Black Friday haul from last November. This is a collective indie beauty haul, and it includes orders from Oden’s Eye, GlossGods Cosmetics, Monolith, and Lethal Cosmetics.

The Oden’s Eye Ice Crystal palette wasn’t on sale, but it launched for Black Friday. This big palette format is not my favourite from the brand, but I loved this look that I created with the palette.

The only thing I actually bought in the Oden’s Eye Black Friday sale was this pretty bracelet.

And then I got some free make-up brushes (a blush brush and a detail crease blender brush) and a free tote bag with my order.

I’ve had my eye on the GlossGods Cosmetics Dancing Lights palette ever since it launched (I think it was their 2024 holiday palette), but I didn’t pick it up initially. I was very happy to see it back in stock and on sale for Black Friday, so I picked it up together with the 2025 holiday palette, Starry Skies. I also got another shade of the Jelly Drip Sticks in the shade Catch My Drip.

I’m wearing the Starry Skies palette here, and the Dancing Lights palette here.

There were a lot of things I really wanted in the Monolith Black Friday sale, but sadly something went wrong, when I was trying to pay for my order, and when I finally got it fixed, most of the things I wanted was sold out and the sale was over. However, they put a smaller amount of items up for sale again a few days later, and I managed to get the Simply Posh Cosmetics Black Cherry palette and Down to Earth palette. The Gingerbread Bakery palette wasn’t on sale, but a part of the new launch for Black Friday.

I hadn’t made an order from Lethal Cosmetics in ages, but I was intrigued by their new palette called Serpentine, which launched for Black Friday. I was a bit disappointed in the palette when I first wore it though.

In the actual Black Friday sale on Lethal Cosmetics’ site, I picked up the Magnetics face powder in Floret, which is a shade I’ve had on my wishlist for a very long time, the Pixeled lipgloss in Matrix, and two of the Dexter nail polishes in Modus Operandi and Slice of Life.

Collective haul – non Black Friday (November 2025)

Posted on January 21, 2026 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a rather large collective haul to share with you today. These are the items I purchased back in November that weren’t part of any Black Friday sales. However, quite a few of these items were purchased during Singles’ Day sales. Let’s begin with some indie palettes though.

I hadn’t picked up the Nomad Cosmetics Pacific Northwest intense color & chrome palette at launch. I was waiting for another Nomad Cosmetics launch, and when they launched their Christkindlmarkt intense color & chrome palette, I picked up both palettes. I also got a free gift with the Christkindlmarkt palette. Both palettes are beautiful, and I generally really enjoy Nomad Cosmetics eyeshadows.

I haven’t been interested in a Natasha Denona midi palette in a while, because they’ve had very neutral colour stories. However, there was something about the Bloom palette that I liked, but I didn’t want to pay full price for it, so I waited for the Sephora Singles’ Day sale to purchase it.

These are the other items I got in the Sephora Singles’ Day sale; the Natasha Denona Hy-Glam concealer in N1, a back-up of the Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer in 1.3G Marshmallow (my favourite concealer), and a Sephora Collection Rouge Is Not My Name no transfer matte lipstick in 07 Pinpoint.

I’m always excited about a new MAC launch, so I picked up two MAC Dazzlelips crayons in the shades Cosmic Plum and Lunar Violet. I got them 25% off.

Here are some things I got in the Zalando Singles’ Day sale. I picked up another shade of the MAC Colour Excess gel pencil eyeliners, and it’s called Blueberry Milk. I also bought another shade of the NABLA Close-Up Blurring powder blush, and it’s called Lucky Rose. Lastly, I got the The Library of Fragrance Pistachio Ice Cream Eau de Cologne, because I was curious about the brand and the scent, but it’s too artificial and cheap-smelling for my taste.

I made an order from Niche-Beauty, because they had a 25% off sale. I’ve been wanting to try Lisa Eldridge lip products for a long time, so I picked up the The Holiday Ribbon Kit, which included the True Velvet lip colour in Velvet Ribbon and the Enhance and Define lip pencil in Ribbon; such a pretty classic red shade. I also got the Lisa Eldridge Insanely Satuated lip colour in New Wave, which is a beautiful berry purple shade. Lastly from Niche-Beauty, I picked up the PHLUR Vanilla Skin body mist, which is a lovely scent.

Let’s move on to accessories, clothes, and shoes. I got these pearl jewellery and bow hair clip in a H&M sale. I’ve worn the pearl necklace quite often lately.

I also got this faux fur hat in the H&M sale.

I found this boucle style jacket at a charity second hand store, and I actually wore it yesterday.

I couldn’t wear this Christmas top from Next this past Christmas due to my baby bump, but I’m excited to wear it next Christmas.

I love a coloured tight, and I found these purple ones from the brand DIM on sale.

I knew I had to have these M&M’s Crocs from the moment I laid eyes on them. I love the green colour, the glitter, and the M&M Jibbitz, and I’m also quite fond of the style called Bae. And that’s the end of the haul, and what a piece to end with.

Asos sale haul (October 2025)

Posted on January 14, 2026 by Mucha-Lucha

I have an Asos sale haul to share with you today. It includes clothes, accessories, and beauty products. Let’s begin with the clothes.

I’m really into everything lime, olive, and khaki green at the moment, so I’ve been loving this cardigan from Asos Design. Here’s my most recent outfit with this cardigan.

I love an oversized T-shirt, and luckily, it’s a type of item that I can still wear with my baby bump. Both of these are from Asos Design, and I’m actually wearing the one with the cherries today. I wanted to show you the back of the Toy Story one, because it’s so cute.

I have a pair of black velvet trousers that I lived in after I had my first child, so I picked up this brown pair of velvet trousers from Asos Design to wear postpartum.

I picked up these two pairs of golden earrings from Asos Design. I’m excited to wear both pairs.

I got back-ups of three of my favourite products from e.l.f. Cosmetics; the Liquid Poreless Putty primer, the Power Grip primer + 4% Nyacinamide, and the Brow Lift in Clear. I need to start using all of these soon.

Lastly, I got two back-ups of the e.l.f. Skin Holy Hydration! face cream and two back-ups of the e.l.f. Skin Holy Hydration! eye cream. These are great, affordable skincare items.

5 favourites – December

Posted on December 31, 2025 by Mucha-Lucha

Happy New Year! 2025 flew by so fast, yet a lot of great things happened in my personal life this past year. The event I’m looking forward to the most in 2026 is, of course, meeting my second child and becoming a family of four. I hope everyone has a great start to the new year, and let’s say goodbye to the old one with some December favourites.

Oden’s Eye Solmåne Moonlight Feel highlighter (shade: H101 Moon Talk): I’ve loved the Oden’s Eye Solmåne Moonlight Feel highlighters since they launched year’s ago, and the green shade called H101 Moon Talk has always been my most worn one, and since I’ve worn it a lot in December (it goes well with a green eyes and red lips make-up look), I thought it was about time that I featured it in a favourites post.

Rare Beauty Kind Words matte lip liner (shade: Devoted): Another product that I’ve enjoyed since it launched is the Rare Beauty Kind Words matte lip liner. I like a lot of the original shades, but my most worn lip liner this past month has been the later released red shade called Devoted. It’s just such a good red that goes with a lot of different shades of red lipstick.

MAC Regal Red lipstick: This MAC lipstick was a part of the 2024 holiday collection, and I’ve loved wearing it again this holiday season. It’s a frost finish, and the shade of red is so versatile depending on the shade of lip liner you pair it with. I wore it with two different lip liners here and here, so you can see the difference the lip liner pairing makes.

Trollbeads Cookie Joy ring: I got this ring for Christmas last year, so I didn’t get to wear it much until this Christmas season, and I’ve worn it every time I’ve worn silver jewellery since late November. It’s just so cute.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone In Concert: Two year’s ago my sister and I went to see Love Actually In Concert, and it was such a great experience, so back in April my boyfriend and I bought tickets to go watch Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone In Concert in the beginning of December, and once again it was so good! I hadn’t watched any of the Harry Potter films before (I know, I’m a millennial, how is that even possible), and the live orchestra playing the entire soundtrack made it even more special.

Collective haul – the rest (October 2025)

Posted on December 30, 2025 by Mucha-Lucha

I have my other collective haul from October to share with you today. This one includes clothes, shoes, and accessories.

Let’s begin with the two Christmas clothing pieces I purchased this year. The sweater vest is from VRS (a supermarket brand), and I bought it in a bigger size, so I could fit my growing bump in there. The grey jumper is actually a second hand find, and I think it’s really cute.

Moving on to some more second hand pieces. I got these three jackets; a patterned cropped denim jacket, a slightly slouchy checkered jacket, and a fun and colourful blazer. My mum actually got me the colourful blazer.

These are the other four tops that I found second hand. The oversized red cardigan is so nice, and I’ve also worn it this holiday season. And I have a weakness for second hand/vintage patterned shirts, and I think both the grey one and the yellow one are so fun, and I’m excited to style them up. I have an orange top in the same style and from the same brand as the dark purple one, and I think they really fun pieces. I love the texture, the shine, and the beading.

You have seen me wear the red floral skirt a couple of times during this past month, and when I bought it, I knew that it would be great for Christmas parties/get-togethers. The red dress was given to me by an acquaintance, and I’m excited to wear it once I’m not pregnant anymore.

I’ve got two pairs of shoes to share with you. How could I pass on the Mickey and Friends Crocs? They were quite expensive on some websites, but I did manage to find them on sale. And I like a bit of a western-inspired shoe, and I just really liked these denim mules from Raid.

Lastly, I picked up these four pieces of jewellery. The flower brooch is a charity brooch for cancer that is released in a slightly different variation each year in Denmark. I think mine is broken though, which is sad, because I only got to wear it once. The blue pearl necklace, the pearl bracelet, and the Christmas tree brooch are all second hand pieces.

Asos sale haul (August 2025)

Posted on November 27, 2025 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a rather large Asos sale haul to share with you today. It includes shoes, a bunch of accessories, and a few make-up bits. Let’s begin with the shoes.

I picked up two pairs of shoes. The purple Ramsey creepers are my first ever pair of Dr. Martens shoes. I’ve had my eye on these ones for quite a while, because I used to love a creeper and purple is my favourite colour. The brown sandals are from a brand called London Rebel.

I got a pair of black houndstooth-patterned tights from Lindex.

I picked up these two belts both from Asos Design. I would like to add belts to my looks more often.

Shoe clips have been a more recent discovery for me, and I like the idea of decorating my shoes. These two pairs are both from Asos Design.

I’m always on the hunt for more golden rings, so I got these three from Asos Design. The first two came in a set.

I love a pair of statement earrings, so I picked up these five pairs. The top three pairs are from Asos Design, and the bottom two pairs are from Reclaimed Vintage and Topshop respectively.

These are the three (or four to be exact) bracelets I bought. The golden bangle is from the brand South Beach. The orange bangle and the two golden bracelets are from Asos Design.

I got one hair accessory, which is this pretty burgundy hair clip from Asos Design. The brooch is also from Asos Design.

As you know, I like brooches, so I also picked up all of these pretty golden ones from Asos Design.

Lastly, I got these three make-up products and a brush. I got the e.l.f Cosmetics Stain & Tint blending brush, the e.l.f Cosmetics Sheer for It Blush Tinit in Left on Red, the e.l.f Cosmetics Halo Glow skin tint SPF 50 in 1 Fair Neutral, and a back-up of the Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer (shade: 1.3G Marshmellow).

Collective haul – the rest (August 2025)

Posted on November 21, 2025 by Mucha-Lucha

This haul consists of the other items I purchased back in August; make-up, clothes, accessories, and shoes. It’s mostly make-up though, so let’s begin there.

I don’t buy products from R.E.M. Beauty that often, but I was intrigued by their Fembot products, so I got the eyeshadow singlet, the Eclipse glow stick, and the On Your Collar plumping gloss. The shade is beautiful, but I’m not in love with any of these products to be honest.

I haven’t purchased a mini palette from Natasha Denona in a while, but I liked the look of the Mini Gloom palette. I wore it here.

These two blush formulas had been on my wishlist for a while, and I’m glad to have added both to my collection, because they’re beautiful blushes. The first one is the Ilia Soft Focus blurring blush in Sensation, and the second one is the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch matte bouncy blush in Grateful.

I’ve been wanting to try both of these blush formulas as well, and both are fun and colourful. The NYX Fat Cheeks blush in 8 Blueberry Burst is a purple liquid blush, and the fwee Lip & Cheek Blurry Pudding Pot in D-Day is a red mousse cream blush.

The last blush I picked up is the Morphe Cheek Thrills multi-finish face trio in Cabana Club. Another red blush, I know, but red is my favourite blush colour.

I’ve already featured both of these products in 5 favourites posts, so I obviously enjoy them. It’s the Maybelline Fit Me BB Nude cream SPF 50 in 10, and the Fenty Beauty Bright Fix Instant Brightening + Blurring powder in Lavender 01.

I have one piece of clothing, one accessory, and one pair of shoes to share with you. The piece of clothing is this red sweater vest from H&M, which I think will be very versatile.

The accessory or accessories I got is this set of brooches from Marimekko. Aren’t they cute?

And I might have saved the best for last. I’ve been wanting a pair of Caged Crocs ever since I first saw them, so when they came to Zalando in this grapeberry colour, I picked them up immediately, and I love them!

NA-KD sale haul (July 2025)

Posted on November 13, 2025 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a NA-KD haul to share with you today. I bought these items back in July, so they’re pretty summery. Everything was on sale apart from the last necklace and earrings.

I purchased this matching blazer and shorts. I really like the shape of the blazer, and the shorts are a little short compared to what I usually go for, but I actually wore them under the next skirt for extra coverage, and that worked very well.

This skirt is very unique. It’s actually two separate sheer skirts that layer on top of each other. I wore it here with the shorts and blazer.

I also picked up this maxi skirt, which has a summery print, but the colours work in autumn too. I wore it here.

I sadly didn’t get around to wear these cute denim shorts this past summer, but there’s always next year.

I think this dress is so beautiful, and I felt beautiful in it, when I wore it on my birthday this year.

I purchased so many fun and pretty pieces of jewellery in the sale. As you can see, I got a pair of earrings, three necklaces, and four bracelets.

This last necklace and last pair of earrings weren’t on sale, I’d just been eyeing them for a little while and thought they were such fun pieces. I really wanted the matching bracelet as well, but sadly it was sold out.

Holiday haul (July 2025)

Posted on November 1, 2025 by Mucha-Lucha

This haul consists of the things I picked up on me and my family’s three-day trip during our summer holiday. Almost everything is second hand or vintage.

I found this fun blouse at a charity second hand shop. It’s from the brand YAS, which is a brand I really like, and I thought it would be fun to style.

I went to a second hand/flee market style shop, and they had a few clothing racks with vintage stuff., and I picked up these two pieces; a short sleeve shirt and a pleated skirt.

We went past an outdoors European market with stalls from all over Europe, and I bought this little straw bag at the French stall.

I picked up this beautiful silver brooch at that second hand/flee market style shop. I love finding old brooches.

This last purchase is more of a souvenir. We went to an aquarium and I got these turtle hoop earrings as a memory.
