Collective Black Friday haul (November 2025)

Posted on February 7, 2026 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a collective Black Friday haul to share with you today. This haul includes orders from Matas, Magasin, Zalando, Crás, Trollbeads, and Boozt.

These are the items I picked up from Matas. I got 25% off the Clean Classic The Jet Set layering gift set (5 x 5ml) and the Fenty Cheeks Suede powder blush matte in Daiquiri Dip 06, and then I got 40% off the Rimmel Kind & Free mascaras, so I picked up two back-ups in the shade 002 Brown Black.

The next bulk of items was purchased at Magasin, which also had 25% off most things. I got three blush products; the Huda Beauty Blush Filter blurring blushlighters palette in Baby Pink, the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch matte bouncy blush in Worth, and the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch liquid blush in Spirited (mini).

From MAC, I got the Luxe Luck Dazzleshadow liquid eyeshadow in Viperactive, which was from last year’s Lunar New Year collection, and I also picked up one of the new Dazzleshadow liquid eyeshadows in the shade Crumbled Diamonds. Both of these are very pretty.

And lastly from Magasin, I bought the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless mini setting spray kit and the Kosas Revealer concealer in 01 N.

Let’s move on to the things I got from Zalando. I got these two make-up items, which are the last make-up items of this haul. I’d used up my L’Oréal Paris True Match Nude plumping tinted serum in 0,5-2 Very Light, so I got a new one, because it’s one of my favourite foundations/skin tints, and I also got a third shade of the NABLA Close-Up Blurring powder blushes, and it’s in the shade Satisfaction.

I picked up two pairs of Crocs in the Zalando BF sale. I got the other pair of M&M’s collab Crocs; they’re just so fun and colourful. I also got another pair of lined Christmas-themed Crocs, which I wore several times during December.

I made a small order from Crás, which you might know is one of my favourite clothing brands. I’ve had my eye on the shiny dress for a while, and it was pretty heavily discounted so I decided to finally get it, even though I can’t wear it at the moment. I’ve also been wanting one of their satin coats, and I thought this pink floral one was really pretty and perfect for spring. The tote bag was a gift with purchase.

Trollbeads usually has some good deals around Black Friday, so I added these glass beads and silver beads to my ever-growing collection.

These last few items were purchased in the Boozt BF sale. I got another headband from Becksöndergaard, because I think they make beautiful, good quality headbands.

I also picked up two hair & body mists from L’atelier Parfum. I got Green Crush and Exquise Tentation. Green Crush is my favourite so far. It’s so fresh and green-smelling, which is exactly what I was hoping it would be.

Quick, but fun and impactful

Posted on February 4, 2026 by Mucha-Lucha

Didn’t wear that well

Posted on February 2, 2026 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I liked the idea of this look, but it didn’t wear that well. The satin eyeshadows creased on me quite quickly, and the lip oil went outside my lip line even though I was wearing a lip liner.

(Base: primer – e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Poreless Putty primer, foundation – Milk Makeup Hydro Grip gel tint (shade: 2), concealers – e.l.f. Cosmetics Putty Color-Correcting Eye Brightener (shade: Fair) + Natasha Denona Hy-Glam concealer (shade: N1), powder – Rare Beauty Always An Optimist Soft Radiance setting powder in Light.

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.

Two minis

Posted on January 30, 2026 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. My eye look is a mix of two Natasha Denona Mini palettes, the Mini Triochrome and the Mini Pastel, and I think the two palettes worked together very well.

(Base: primer – e.l.f Cosmetics Power Grip primer, foundation – Maybelline Superstay Lumi Matte foundation (shade: 96), concealers – Rare Beauty Positive Light under eye brightener (shade: Light) + Natasha Denona Hy-Glam concealer (shade: N1), powder – e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow setting powder in Light. Face make-up: bronzer – e.l.f. Cosmetics Camo liquid bronzer & contour in Fair/Light, blush – Glaminatrix Cosmetics Liquid Cheek & Lip Flush in Sweet, highlighter – Made By Mitchell Blursh Lights liquid highlighter in Bisquit Bish. Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Essence Soft Touch eyeshadow in 01 The One + Natasha Denona Mini Triochrome palette (shades: Voltaic + Stratos + Aero) + Natasha Denona Mini Pastel palette (shades: Sea Star + Ontario), mascara – L’Oréal Panorama volume million mascara in Black, eyeliner – Oden’s Eye Solmåne gel liner in 009 Sky Blue. Eyebrows: NYX Lift & Snatch! Brow Tint Pen in Ash Brown + e.l.f. Cosmetics Brow Lift. Lips: Rare Beauty Kind Words matte lip liner in Devoted + 3ina The Color Lip Glow in 244)

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.

Pacific Northwest

Posted on January 25, 2026 by Mucha-Lucha
