Green goddess expectations

Posted on August 2, 2025 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I used the Bellabeautébar Green Goddess palette to create the eye look, and the look turned out pretty, but I think I expected more from the palette. I guess I just have to create more looks with it to see its full potential.

5 favourites – July

Posted on July 31, 2025 by Mucha-Lucha

July, I’m going to miss you so much. Despite being ill for a week, I’ve had a great summer holiday. The weather has been with us in July for the first time in many years, which makes the summer holiday even more enjoyable. I’m going back to work again on Monday, but I wish I had another week off:) However, let’s get into this month’s favourites.

Red and pink platform Teva sandals: I purchased these sandals in a Cyber Monday sale last year, hoping that I would get a lot of use out of them this summer, and I have. Tevas are so comfortable, and I can walk around in them for hours, so they’ve been perfect for going on different trips this summer.

Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Lift & Flex concealer (shade: 2): I’d had this concealer on my wishlist for so long, but it was sold out in the lightest shades for ages. When I finally found it somewhere back in stock, I picked it up immediately. Initially, I wasn’t blown away by it, but it has grown on me lately, and it actually is a beautiful concealer.

Wet n Wild Megalast eyeshadow primer: I learned about this affordable eyeshadow primer through a comment on a beauty Youtube video. Someone wrote that it was a great primer if shimmers tend to crease on your eyelids, which they do on mine, because I have hooded eyelids. Some shimmers still crease on me, but I do think that this primer works quite well with some types of shimmers, and I’ve experienced less creasing when using this primer.

Jurassic World Rebirth (film): I’m always excited about a new Jurassic World film, and I didn’t know anything about Rebirth before watching it, but I really enjoyed it. As I’ve mentioned before, I love dinosaurs, so I could definitely live without the genetically engineered dinosaurs in the Jurassic World series, because they’re just monsters and not real dinosaur species, but I really liked the premise and plot of this film.

Weyward (Kvinderne fra Weyward Cottage) by Emilia Hart (book): I don’t remember the last time I read a book that wasn’t a children’s book (I read a lot of those though) or a non-fiction book I had to read for education purposes, but for some reason, I had an urge to read a novel this summer. I found Weyward by Emilia Hart at one of my local supermarkets (I read it in Danish though, hence the Danish title in parentheses). I thought it sounded interesting, and it was. I read it in a few days in the very beginning of my summer holiday, and I really enjoyed it. I’m reading another book now, and I already have a few more in mind that I would like to read, so I hope that I’ll have time to do so, when life becomes busy again soon.

Posted on July 28, 2025 by Mucha-Lucha

Collective MAC haul (February 2025)

Posted on July 27, 2025 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a collective MAC haul to share with you today. It includes limited edition products, new at the time products, and some free gifts.

Let’s begin with the products I got from the MAC To The Future collection. I picked up the lip pencil in Hodgepodge, the Lustreglass lipstick in Rosy Thoughts, and the two Skinfinish cream blushes in Sonic and Ginger, Please!.

The lip pencil shade Hodgepodge is a released shade and I think the Rosy Thoughts lipstick shade is limited edition. I was most excited about the Skinfinish cream blushes, and they’re quite nice.

I also got the Luxe Luck Dazzleshadow liquid in Magic Scale on sale. The Luxe Luck collection launched in the beginning of the year, and I’m pretty sure it was their Lunar New Year collection. I’m quite impressed by this liquid eyeshadow formula. It lasted a very long time, and it didn’t crease.

I had to try the new at the time Strobe Beam liquid blushes, and I picked up the following three shades: Nitelite, Magic Aura, and Good Vibes. These are very pretty, glowy blushes.

Lastly, I got two gifts with my purchases. The first gift included a mini MACStack mascara, a Fix+ Original (30 ml), and a Prep+Prime Lip. I love all three of these products, so this was a great gift. The second gift included a Lipglass clear, an Extended Play Giga Black Lash mascara, and a 252S large shader brush. Also a great gift with purchase.
