Great BH quality

Posted on January 7, 2022 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This eye look is a great example of how great BH Cosmetics palettes are; their eyeshadows are super pigmented and they blend so well. Also, now that I look at these pictures, I really want to wear that mustard lipstick again soon.

The first of many

Posted on January 6, 2022 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wore quite a few pink and blue eye looks last summer, and they’re pretty similar, but I love them all. I think this is the look that started it all, and I mean, it’s just such a pretty colour combo.

(Base: primers – Urban Decay All Nighter face primer + MAC Strobe Cream (shade: Pinklite), foundation – L’Oreal Paris Infaillible 24H Fresh Wear foundation (shade: 015 Porcelain), concealer – L’Oréal Infaillible More Than Concealer (shade: 322 Ivory), powders – Hourglass Ambient Lighting Ethereal Edit palette (shade: Etherial Light) + e.l.f Sheer Tint finishing powder in Fair/Light.

Sephora Favorites advent calender 2021

Posted on January 5, 2022 by Mucha-Lucha

I got two advent calenders in 2021; the Essence 24 sparkling moments of joy advent calender and the Sephora Favorites advent calender. Two calenders at two very different price points. You can check out the post I did on the Essence calender here, and now let’s talk about what the Sephora one contained.

Days 1-6 contained the following products: Fenty Beauty Diamond Bomb All-Over Diamond Veil in How Many Carats?!, Rare Beauty Lip Soufflé matte lip cream in Fearless, The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (serum), Maroccanoil treatment, Tarte Maneater voluptuous mascara, and Fenty Skin Fat Water pore-refining toner serum. I already owned the Fenty Beauty Diamond Bomb, but it’s a nice product. I’m most excited to try the Rare Beauty lip cream and the Fenty Skin toner serum.

Days 7-12 contained the following products: Good Girl by Carolina Herrera (Eau De Parfum), Benefit Gimme Brow in 3, Erborian Milk & Peel mask, Patchology The Good Fight clear skin mini sheet mask, Huda Beauty Diamond Balm sparkly lip balm in Negligee, and Innisfree Hydrating Sleeping Mask with Green Tea. I used to own the Benefit Gimme Brow so I know I like that. I think the Perfume by Carolina Herrera is beautiful, and it’s smell really good as well.

Days 13-18 contained the following products: Respire natural face wash, Sephora Collection Glossed Vinyl Intense lip lacquer in 06 All-Powerful Red, Too Faced Damn Girl! Mascara, The Original Make Up Eraser, Olaplex Hair Perfector No. 3, and Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze brow styling wax. You might have noticed how obsessed I am with the ABH Brow Freeze; I use it pretty much every day, so it’s nice to have a back up. I’ve already tried the The Original Make Up Eraser, and I actually thought it removed my make-up very well.

Days 19-25 contained the following products: Merci Handy cleansing spray – Lavender & Eucalyptus, Ren Evercalm gentle cleansing milk, Fresh Rose Deep Hydration face cream, Natasha Denona Baby Biba palette, RMS Beauty Buriti bronzer, Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution lipstick in Pillow Talk (original), and Juliette has a gun parfums – Not A Perfume + Carré Y perfume necklace. I’m actually pretty excited about most of these products, especially the Natasha Denona Baby Biba palette and the Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution lipstick in Pillow Talk. I’m also curious about the perfume necklace. I’ve never tried anything like that.

I admit that this calender is pricey, but I also think that it contains a nice variety of different types of products including both make-up, skin care, hair care, and fragrances. A handful of the products are full sizes, and I think the “minis” or travel sizes are generally very generous. I might consider getting the Sephora Favorites calender again in 2022.

Neutrals and classic red

Posted on January 4, 2022 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I kept my eye make-up simple and neutral, but wore a classic red lip, which is my favourite lip colour to wear with a black and white outfit.

Purple sunset

Posted on January 3, 2022 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I think this purple sunset inspired eye look turned out so pretty. I really should do a look like this again soon.

Matching New Year’s Eve look

Posted on January 2, 2022 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with my New Year’s Eve outfit. I went for black and silver on my eyes to match my sparkly outfit, and then I paired it with a fun berry/magenta lip which matched my New Year’s Eve nails. I had so much fun creating this look and creating something different from all my Christmassy looks.

5 favourites – December

Posted on December 31, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

Happy New Year! 2021 has just flown by so quickly. Once again, it was a year which was far from normal; it definitely had its ups and downs. I’m trying to accept that the virus won’t disappear for a while, and I’ll also try to get the best out of life despite of that. But on a happier note, I’ve had a lovely Christmas and Christmas holiday, and I’m excited to spend the lasts day of the year with my nearest family and my boyfriend. So let’s say goodbye to 2021 with some December favourites.

Red wool coat (H&M): This red wool coat has been my go-to outerwear throughout December. It’s just so festive and a perfect pop of colour in these dark months. I’ll definitely continue to wear it in the new year.

I Heart Revolution x Elf collection primer: As you might have noticed in my make-up posts in December, this primer has probably been my most used one. It gives the skin this beautiful, subtle golden glow, which has been perfect for all my Christmassy make-up looks.

Rimmel The Multi-Tasker concealer (shade: 020 Fair): In late November I did a first impressions post on this concealer, and my first impressions were really good. I’ve continued to use it, and I enjoy it even more now. I still don’t think that it’ll beat my L’Oréal Infaillible concealer, but it’s almost as good, and it’s nice to have some great concealer options to chose from.

BH Cosmetics Miss Claus The Lit List palette: In my 5 favourites from December last year, I featured the BH Cosmetics Naughty palette, which was from the 2020 holiday collection from BH Cosmetics. That palette has continued to be a favourite of mine, so I was super excited to try the big 2021 holiday palette from BH Cosmetics to see if it would be just as good as the Naughty palette. I can reveal that it is just as good. It’s the same great quality, and I love the colour story as well. This is also the palette I brought with me on my Christmas holiday, because it’s perfect for both Christmas and New Year’s looks.

Wavy hair: It’s been a long time since I last featured a hair style/do in a 5 favourites post, but as you might have noticed, I’ve been obsessed with wavy hair in December. I initially began to plait my hair at night after I washed it, because I hate blow drying my hair and I don’t want weird folds in my hair from my pillow. I then sleep with my hair in the plait and take it out the next morning, and my hair looks nice and wavy, which is a nice change since my hair is as straight as it comes. I don’t know if I’ll continue to do this on a regular basis, but definitely every once in a while.

Eyeshadow wings

Posted on December 30, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I almost never do a wing, but I really like how the wings turned out with this eye look. I just used a brown eyeshadow which is a lot easier than using a liquid eyeliner.

(Base: primer – Essence Prime+ Studio Poreless + Skin Blurring putty primer, foundation – L’Oreal Paris Infaillible 24H Fresh Wear foundation (shade: 015 Porcelain), concealers – e.l.f. 16HR Camo matte concealers (shades: Light Sand + Fair Warm), powders – MAC Studio Fix Sculpt And Shape contour palette Light/Medium (shade: Emphasize + Cream) + Beauty Bakerie Flour setting powder in Oat (translucent). Face make-up: contour/bronzer – MAC Studio Fix Sculpt And Shape contour palette Light/Medium (shade: Taupe) + KimChi Chic Beauty Thailor bronzer in 01 I Went to Malibu, blusher – Too Faced Love Flush Water Colour blush in No Ordinary Love, highlighter – Soda #babygethigher Pressed Highlighter in 102. Eye make-up: base – Milani eyeshadow primer in 01 Nude, eyeshadows – Wet n Wild Ice Cream Bee palette (shades: You Got Soft Served + Waffley Cute + Mint To Be + Pistachio & Love + Anything Is Popsicle + The Fudging Best + It’s Sherbert Day), mascara – L’Oréal Paradise Extactic mascara in 01 Sandalwood Wonder, eyeliner – MUA Intense Glitter eyeliner in Jade Jewel. Eyebrows: Essence #pinkandproud Strong soapy brow styler (01 Stronger Than Yesterday!). Lips: NYX Slim lip pencil in Plush Red + Catrice Full Satin lipstick in 080 Full Of Life)

MAC haul – Botanic Panic + summer sale

Posted on December 29, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a MAC haul to share with you today. This haul consists of a couple of products from the 2021 summer collection, Botanic Panic, and some summer sale items.

Let’s start with the two products I purchased from the Botanic Panic collection. I picked up the Extra Dimension Skin Finish in Fleur Sure, which is definitely a highlighter even though it comes in a smaller compact (the blush sized compact). I don’t mind though, since you almost never use up an entire highlighter. I also had to get one of the lipsticks and I chose the purple shade called Forget-Me-Naughty.

In the summer sale I picked up a back up of the Cherry Blossom scented Fix+ (this one is from the 2021 Black Cherry spring collection). I also picked up two Powder Kiss lipsticks and a Love Me lipstick.

The Powder Kiss lipsticks are in the shades Ripened and P For Potent.

And the Love Me lipstick is in the shade DGAF.

These last three products were free gifts with purchase. I can already say that I love the Magic Extension mascara, but I’ll be doing a first impressions post on it as well at some point.

I also got the Black Cherry Glow Play lip balm in Pinking of You. The Glow Play lip balms are very nice if you like coloured balms.

And the last gift I got with my order was the Lip Scrubtious in Candied Nectar. It smells delicious, and I really like the consistency as well.

First (and last) red and gold

Posted on December 28, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I think this was my first (and last) red and gold make-up look this Christmas. As much as I’ve enjoyed wearing Christmassy make-up looks, I’m also very excited to play with other colour combos and wear other kinds of make-up looks again.

(Base: primer – I Heart Revolution x Elf collection primer, foundation – L’Oreal Paris Infaillible 24H Fresh Wear foundation (shade: 015 Porcelain), concealers – Rimmel The Multi-Tasker concealer (shade: 020 Fair) + Fenty Beauty Bright Fix Eye Brightener (shade: Golden Ivory), powders – Essence Brighten Up!

Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze + Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown.
