MAC Bangin’ Brilliant lipsticks

Posted on October 25, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

Sorry about the silence on the blog this past week, but I just got home from a choir trip to the Netherlands last night. I’ve missed blogging and I have a lot of outfits, make-up looks and new products to show you. Today is going to be about lipsticks; MAC lipsticks to be exact. I’ve been waiting patiently for the new permanent lipstick range, the Bangin’ Brilliant collection, to launch in Denmark, and when it finally did I decided to purchase three lipsticks (even though I could have bought pretty much the entire collection). The collection is full of fun, different, colourful shades with different finishes though most of the lipsticks are either matte or frost. All three shades I decided to get are matte lipsticks. The shades I picked up are In The Spirit (black), 4Eva (purple), and Deep Rooted (grey brown). I’ve only worn Deep Rooted so far and I loved it. I can’t wait to wear the other shades as well.

Watermelon red

Posted on October 18, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I really like this make-up look; I think the glowy skin is a nice contrast to the matte eye make-up and lips. And speaking of lips, how gorgeous is this bright watermelon red colour! It’s so pretty and summery.

First impressions: Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless foundation

Posted on October 16, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

It’s time for another ‘first impressions’ post, and this time it’s on the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless foundation. First a few words on the packaging. As you can see it’s in a tube so you squeeze out the product. I always find this kind of packaging a bit messy, but if the product is good I can live with it. Now, about the actual product; it’s a liquid formula and I applied it with a make-up sponge. The coverage is good and it has a matte finish as it claims. It says it’s for normal to oily skin which I agree with. I have pretty normal skin, and it’s still a bit dry (due to the matte finish). I’m wearing the lightest shade in the range which is 110 Porcelain, and I think it’s a quite good colour match. I wore the foundation for about 13 hours when I first tried it out, and it looked pretty decent at the end of the day (I don’t expect my foundation to look incredible after 13 hours). So far I’m neither loving nor hating this product, but these are only my first impressions, so I’m looking forward to see how I feel about it after I’ve worn it a few more times.

Blow Pony

Posted on October 15, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I was afraid that the Jeffree Star Velour liquid lipstick in Blow Pony would be too light on me, but I absolutely love it! It’s such a cool colour. I also love how my highlighter is popping in these photos.

All blue brown

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I finally got around to wear the LA Splash Studioshine lip lustre in Catrina, and even though it crumbled on my lips when I tried to touch up, I still think the colour is incredible.

YSL Rouge Volupté

Posted on October 8, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

I’m finally the happy owner of a YSL lipstick. I’ve been wanting a YSL Rouge Volupté Shine lipstick for years now, and finally this beauty is mine. This lipstick formula is sheer and creamy, and I chose the shade 29 which is a neutral red shade that makes your lips look pretty and plump.

Red + glow

Posted on October 7, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Of course I had to wear a red lip to match the blazer and for the rest of my face the keyword was glow.

(Base: primer – L’Oréal Lumi Magique Pure Light primer, foundation – Bourjois healthy mix serum foundation (shade: 51 Light Vanilla), concealers – MAC Pro Longwear concealer (shade: NC20) + Maybelline Fit Me concealer (shade: 15), powders – NYX Highlight & Contour Pro Palette (shades: Soft Light + Cream) + Rimmel Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed powder (shade: 001 Transparent).

First impressions: Jeffree Star Velour liquid lipsticks

Posted on October 4, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

About three weeks ago I recieved my first Jeffree Star Velour liquid lipsticks, and I thought I would share my first impressions of them with you. I’d heard/read so many amazing things about these liquid lipsticks, so I was very happy to find them on Beautybay.com (one of my favourite webshops). At the time there was a limited selection of shades (but there has recently been added more shades), so I decided to get the two colours you see in the picture. The one in the yellow packaging is from the limited edition summer collection and it’s called Watermelon Soda, and the one in the pink packaging is a permanent shade and it’s called Blow Pony. The only difference I found with these two shades (apart from the colour of course) is the fact that the limited edition shade smells like watermelon and it smells phenomenal. The formula is very thin and liquidy, but very easy to apply. The pigmentation is fantastic and the product dries completely matte and transfer proof. I don’t find the lipsticks particularly drying on the lips and they last a very long lime. Like pretty much every other lipstick they wear off a bit on the inner/soft part of the lips when you eat and drink, but compared to the LA Splash liquid lipsticks these layer well and is therefore easy to touch up. I was able to remove (almost) all product with regular make-up remover/cleasing water. To be completely honest these are the best liquid lipsticks I’ve tried so far, and I highly recommend them.

Cool-toned

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wanted to keep the whole look very cool-toned, and I love the grey lip with the pop of blue on the eyes.
