Collective haul (December 2025)

Posted on February 22, 2026 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a collective accessories, shoes, clothes, and beauty haul to share with you today. I picked up these items back in December. Some of the things were on sale and some of them were not. Let’s begin with accessories.

I got these first pieces of accessories in an Asos sale. The earrings are from the brand True Decadence, the necklace is from ALDO, the chain belt is from My Accessories, and the hair bow is from Easilocks x Asos.

This cute little burgundy sequin handbag is from Asos Design.

I picked up two pairs of stiletto pumps. Is it a little stupid to pick up heels when you can’t wear them for quite a while? Maybe, but I’d been eyeing both of these pairs for a while, so I had to have them. The electric purple ones are from Asos Design and the red floral ones are from H&M.

I have a weakness for fun, oversized T-shirts, so I picked up this pasta one in the Asos sale. It’s from Asos Design, and I wore it here.

I’ve dreamed of this Stine Goya coat since probably spring last year, so when I found it 60% off with an extra 10% off, I had to finally get it. This colour is what dreams are made of, at least my colourful dreams.

I haven’t tried this brand Sundae Body before, but I was intrigued by their Candy Cane Whipped shower foam, since I love anything candy cane scented.

Let’s move on to the make-up I got from Monolith back in December. I had to have the Dede Signature Festive Elegance palette, because it such a stunning Christmas-themed palette.

Another Christmas-themed palette that I picked up was the Glaminatrix Cosmetics Merry Chrissy palette, which is themed around the Australian Christmas.

The last Christmas-themed palette I got was the Gourmande Girls Mostly Merry palette. This is not my favourite colour story, but the packaging is so cute.

The Unearthly Cosmetics Dead Cute collection really is cute, and I had to have the palette and the 4pcs lipstick set. The lipsticks are in the shades (from left to right) Toxic Taffy, Bubble Scream, Vampire Truffle, and Ghost Milk.

The last four products are from the newest limited edition collection from MAC called Metamorphosis. I bought the Face & Eye palette, the Macximal silky matte lipstick in Juiced Raspberry, the Glow Play Tendertalk lip balm in Frolic, and the lip pencil in Spiced Tea. I still love limited edition MAC.

Lyko Cyber Week haul (December 2025)

Posted on February 21, 2026 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a Lyko haul to share with you today. These are the products I picked up during their Cyber Week sale.

I picked up two base products; the Maybelline Grippy serum primer and a back-up of the Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Lift & Flex concealer in shade 2. I’d heard good things about the Maybelline Grippy serum primer, and even though I’ve only used it a few times so far, it seems to be a very nice primer.

Let’s move on to eye products. I got two eyeshadow sticks; the MAC Dazzleshadow eye shadow stick in Bedazzled Denim and the Rimmel Turn Up the Volume Wonder shadow stick in 008 Green Grove. Both are really pretty.

For eyes, I also picked up two of the Moira Prism Pop pigments in 001 Sugar Plum and 002 Happy Holo and one of the Moira Chrome Light Shadows in 010 Aquamarine. I haven’t tried any of these yet, so I don’t know if they’re any good.

I got some back-ups of some of my favourite mascaras; the Catrice Pure Volume Magic Brown mascara (which wasn’t on sale) and the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascaras in Green Altitude, Burgundy Haze, and Blue Mist. Blue Mist is a new shade to me though.

I’ve been intrigued by the Make Up Store Iconic Luster blushes and Iconic Radiance highlighter ever since I first saw them, so I decided to get three shades of the blushes (20 Frosted Pink, 30 True Pink, and 40 Vintage Rose) and the highlighter in the shade 10 Pearl Glow. I’m really liking these so far.

These are the other cheek products I bought. I got the Maybelline Sunkisser matte liquid blush in 38 Pink Ripple, the Rimmel Turbocharged Glow in 001 Not A Basic B and 004 Chelsea Glow, and the Moira Glow Show liquid highlighter in 001 Vanilla Bliss. I haven’t worn the Maybelline Sunkisser matte liquid blush yet, but it was love at first sight with the other three products. I’m wearing the Rimmel Turbocharged Glows here, and I was so impressed by the application, the pigmentation, the finish, and the wear.

Lastly, I picked up two lip products; I got the Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Velvet in Pomegranate and the rom&nd The Juicy Lasting Tint in 10 Summer Scent. Both products are beautiful on the lips.

Greens and warm golds

Posted on February 17, 2026 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love the mix of greens with the warm golden shades on the eyes; I think they create a really pretty contrast.

Colourpop Black Friday haul (November 2025)

Posted on February 15, 2026 by Mucha-Lucha

Colourpop had a 30% off sitewide sale for Black Friday, and these are the products I decided to purchase.

I really wanted the How The Grinch Stole Christmas palette and the Change of Heart Super Shock highlighter kit from The Grinch collection, but I didn’t want to buy just those two items when the collection launched, so I was hoping that they would still be in stock and on sale for Black Friday, so I could pick them up. I think the colour story and quality of the palette are lovely, and I love Super Shock highlighters, and these two shades, 2 Sizes Too Small and Grew 3 Sizes, are so pretty. I’m wearing the palette and the pink highlighter here.

I’ve been so impressed by the other two Bratz Lippie Kits that I’d purchased, so I decided to get one final one (I think). This is the Yasmin kit, which includes the Lippie pencil and Lippie Stix in the shade Pretty Princess.

I picked up a handful more lip products. This is the Just A Tint sheer tint lip crayon in Cutie Fruity and the HydraPop lip stain in Fruit Punch.

And I love anything candy cane scented, so I got the Mistletoe Kisses Fresh Kiss Lip Scrub + Mask + Balm Set.

Lastly, I picked up a bunch of products from the Pretty Fresh line. I got the Pretty Fresh Lock It In setting spray and the Pretty Fresh Set It Up primer as a set. Both are back-ups. I also decided to give the Pretty Fresh hyaluronic acid tinted moisturizer another try. I used to own it, but in the wrong shade, but now that I have it in the right shade (Fair 1 N), I really enjoy it. I’m also really liking the Pretty Fresh hyaluronic creamy concealer, which I bought in the shade Fair 10 N.

Feel good purples

Posted on February 14, 2026 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I hadn’t worn make-up in 11 days, so I wanted to wear something that would me feel good, and a purple eye look always does that.

And happy Valentine’s Day, btw:)

(Base: primer – Catrice Soft Embrace Soft Blur primer & beautifier in C01 Bare Beauty, foundation – Colourpop Pretty Fresh hyaluronic acid tinted moisturizer (shade: Fair 1 N), concealers – e.l.f.

Sephora Black Friday haul + December haul (2025)

Posted on February 12, 2026 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a collective Sephora haul to share with you today. First, I’m going to go through the products I picked up in their Black Friday sale. Afterwards, I’m going to show you the things I picked up in December. Some of those things were new, and some were on sale. I also got some gifts with my purchases, which I’ll add in the end.

I own the most perfumes from KAYALI, and I love most of their scents. These two scents had been on my wishlist for a while, so I decided to finally pick them up in the Black Friday sale. It’s The Wedding Velvet Santal 35 and the Oudgasm Cafe Oud 19.

I also got this The 7 Virtues Mini Vanilla giftset, which includes two mini perfumes in Vanilla Woods and Candied Lychee.

From Rare Beauty, I bought the Selena’s Fav Mini Set, which comes with a mini Rare perfume and the Soft Pinch dewy liquid blush in Happy. I also thought I would get one of the fragrance layering balms and picked Woody Oak.

The last set I got in the BF sale was the Kosas Blush Is Life trio, which comes with the three shades Euphoria, Dare, and Spellbound. I’ve been really enjoying these blushes.

Moving on to the items I picked up in December. I got a back-up of the Milk Makeup Hydro Grip gel tint in shade 2, because it was on sale, and it’s one of my favourite foundations/skin tints. I also got the Onesize B12 Base Thinner, because it sounded like an interesting product, and I’d heard good things about it.

I know, I got some more fragrances. I was very intrigued by the scents from Le Monde Gourmand and decided to try the one called Chai Épicé, and I really like it. I also had to try a couple of the new KAYALI Freedom scents. I chose Freedom Musk Matcha 45 and Freedom Musk Latte 41.

I purchased these last two palettes from the R.E.M. Beauty Wicked: For Good collection on sale. It’s the Ozian Forest eyeshadow palette and the Cherry Blossom blush palette in Warm Coral. The eyeshadow palette performed very well (I wore it here), whereas I haven’t tried the blush palette yet, but it looks very pretty.

Lastly, I received these gifts with my orders. I got the Huda Beauty Easy Bake setting spray mini and then the Holiday Beauty Box, which included a bunch of different stuff.

Gingerbread bakery

Posted on February 11, 2026 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s always fun trying out a new pastel eyeshadow palette, however, even though the Simply Posh Cosmetics Gingerbread Bakery palette wasn’t as bad as I’ve heard some people say I was, I do agree that some of the pastel mattes lack pigment.

(Base: primer – e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Poreless Putty primer, foundation – Colourpop Pretty Fresh hyaluronic acid tinted moisturizer (shade: Fair 1 N), concealers – e.l.f. Cosmetics Putty Color-Correcting Eye Brightener (shade: Fair) + Colourpop Pretty Fresh hyaluronic creamy concealer (shade: Fair 10 N), powders – Essence Flawless Skin Trio loose setting powder in 10 + e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow setting powder in Light. Face make-up: bronzer – Makeup By Mario SoftSculpt serum bronzer in Fair, blush – Rimmel Turbocharged Glow in 001 Not A Basic B, highlighter – Rimmel Turbocharged Glow in 004 Chelsea Glow. Eye make-up: base – GlossGods Cosmetics That Base! Crease killer eyeshadow base, eyeshadows – Simply Posh Cosmetics Gingerbread Bakery palette (shade: Icing + Brown Sugar + Baked With Love + Peppermints + Lollipops + Cookie Cutter + Baked Fresh + Bake Shop + Gum Drops), mascaras – Rimmel Kind & Free mascara (shade: 02 Brown Black) + Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara (shade: Pink Air), eyeliner – Catrice Kohl Kajal waterproof in 170 Candy Rose. Eyebrows: NYX Lift & Snatch! Brow Tint Pen in Ash Brown + e.l.f. Cosmetics Brow Lift. Lips: MAC Talking Points lip pencil + Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge Drama Matte lipstick in 025 Pink Express)

Contrasts are fun

Posted on February 9, 2026 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. As I wrote in the outfit post, the make-up look was more dramatic than the outfit, but contrasts are fun.

(Base: primer – e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Poreless Putty primer, foundation – Colourpop Pretty Fresh hyaluronic acid tinted moisturizer (shade: Fair 1 N), concealers – e.l.f. Cosmetics Putty Color-Correcting Eye Brightener (shade: Fair) + Colourpop Pretty Fresh hyaluronic creamy concealer (shade: Fair 10 N), powders – Essence Harley Quinn Pink loose setting powder in 01 Harley Vibes + e.l.f.
