Cocopanda haul

Posted on August 26, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

Two weeks ago I ordered some products from the Danish online beauty store Cocopanda.dk and I received the parcel Monday last week. These are some products I’ve been wanting for a long time, so I’m really excited about them.

First of all I had to pick up the Mary-Lou Manizer highlighter by the Balm. I’ve been craving this highlighter for ages, and I’m so glad that it’s finally mine. It’s such a beautiful, pigmented champagne highlighter; perfect for most skin tones.

Some other products I’ve been craving are the NYX Macaron lippies. I love trying out new lip colours, and this lipstick line has a range of fun, ‘out there’ colours. I picked up Pistachio and Blue Velvet. I haven’t worn Blue Velvet yet, but I was very impressed by the pigmentation and staying power of Pistachio.

The last item (or couple of items) I purchased was the Real Techniques Sculpting Set. I love Real Techniques brushes and I was drawn to this set. It has a sculpting brush, a fan brush, and a setting brush and they’re all very good.

Golden, brown, and berry

Posted on August 25, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I decided to go with a brown/golden eye look to match the shoes and accessories, and then my cousin thought it would look nice with a berry lip, and she was right. Btw, I’ll start listing all the make-up I’m wearing (not just eye- and lip products) every now and again. I might be helpful to some of you, and I’m sure it’ll be helpful to myself:)

Make-up birthday presents

Posted on August 23, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

These are the make-up related presents I got for my birthday. The eye shadow is Satin Taupe by MAC. It was the MAC eye shadow I wanted the most, and it’s beautiful. The lipstick is the Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate lipstick in 109, and it’s a gorgeous matte muted orange.

Three randoms

Posted on August 21, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

These are the last three items I bought in July (the month where I probably shopped a bit too much). I obviously couldn’t resist the Jurassic World top. It’s from H&M, and I love the simple print and colours. I also found a pair of sunglasses on sale at H&M that day, and I really like the black with the silver detail. The last item I bought that day was the Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara. I’d heard good things about it, and it does look really good on my lashes, but it transfers onto my eyelids and I find it a bit difficult to remove as well. It’s definitely not a bad mascara, but it doesn’t compare to the Maybelline The Falsies mascara (my favourite) in my opinion.

Winged liner

Posted on August 20, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m horrible at doing winged liner, but I think it looks amazing, so I really want to get better. I usually make the liner to thick, but then I try to make it work anyways. I’m actually wearing black winged liner today, and I think it turned out better than in these pictures, but I also started over several times. I used tape as my guide line the day I wore this make-up look, but if you have any other tips for winged liner, I would love to know:)

(Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eye shadows – MUA Ever After matte eye shadow palette (shades: Bare + Fade) + MAC Keepsakes Plum Eyes eye shadow palette (shade: Subtly Elegant) + Stila In the Light eye shadow palette (shades: Ebony + Kitten) + MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Lightscapade on browbone, mascara – Maybelline The Falsies Volum’ Express, eyeliners – NYC Liquid Eyeliner in 887 Black + Sephora Long lasting kohl pencil in 07 Infinite beige. Lips: e.l.f. Lip Primer & Plumber + MUA Intense Colour lip liner in Red Drama + MAC Steam Heat lipstick)

Pastel purples

Posted on August 17, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore Tuesday July 28. I wanted to try out the purple shades from my Sephora eye shadow palette, but they were not as pigmented as I had hoped for. I do like how the look turned out though; the pastel purples are really pretty too.

(Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eye shadows – MUA Ever After matte eye shadow palette (shade: Fade) + Sephora 4 Shadows and Liner Palette (shades: Lilac + Caroline’s Pride) + Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eye Shadow Collection (shade: Champagne Truffle) + MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Lightscapade on browbone, mascara – Maybelline The Falsies Volum’ Express, eyeliners – Collection Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip liner in Black + Sephora Long lasting kohl pencil in 07 Infinite beige. Lips: Revlon Colourburst Balm Stain in 001 Honey)

Exfoliate, prime and plump

Posted on August 16, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

I think these are the last two items I bought in Copenhagen last month. I’ve been wanting to try the e.l.f. Lip Exfoliator for a long time, and I really like it. I’m using it a couple of times a week, and it leaves your lips soft and exfoliated. I also bought the e.l.f. Lip Primer & Plumper which I’d never heard of before. There’s a nude primer at one end that primes and somewhat conceals your lips, and a clear plumper at the other end. The plumper smells a bit strange (a bit like cinnamon and something else) and you get that tingeling sensation on your lips. I’ve only used this product once, but I think it kind of worked. I have to try it a few more times to figure out how I really feel about it.

Minnie and Mickey

Here’s what I wore Saturday July 4. Another summer outfit from another hot summer day. I think this outfit is really cute, and it was so comfortable to wear.

(Shorts – Monki, crop top – H&M, sunglasses – Primark, sandals – Vagabond, lipstick – MAC Steam Heat lipstick)

Sephora goodies

Posted on August 6, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

When I went to Copenhagen in the beginning of July, I stopped by Sephora and got a few things. I got four products from the Sephora brand. I got a Long Lasting Kohl Pencil in a nude shade which I’ve been wanting for so long, and this one is the perfect nude for my skin tone. It’s called 07 Infinite Beige. The little round eye shadow palette was on sale, and I liked the colours. The pigmentation is not amazing though; especially not the purples, but I’ll try to make them work. I also got the Sephora Straight liner brush (it’s number 91), because I thought it looked interesting. I haven’t tried it yet though. The last Sephora brand product I bought was one I knew I wanted before I went to Copenhagen. I’d heard really good things about the Creme Lip Stains and I chose the colour 03 Strawberry Kissed. This is an amazing liquid lipstick that dries completely matte, but stays comfortable on the lips. I love it! But the product I’m most excited about is the NARS Audacious lipstick. This lipstick is quality, people! It’s a creamy formula, but it stays on the lips all day. I got the hot pink shade (no wonder) and it’s called Michiyo. Oh, and the sleek black packaging and the lid with the magnetic closure; incredible! I would love to add more NARS Audacious lipsticks to my lipstick collection.

Braid in the heat

Posted on August 5, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the hair and make-up I wore with this outfit. I think my diagonal Dutch braid turned out quite nice; at least it was very nice to have my hair out of the way in the hot summer weather.

(Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eye shadows – Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eye Shadow Collection (shades: Milk Chocolate + Amaretto + Cherry Cordial + Marzipan) + MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Lightscapade on browbone, mascara – Maybelline The Falsies Volum’ Express, eyeliner – MUA Intense Glitter eyeliner in Malt Chocolate. Lips: Moisture Renew Universal Transparent Lipliner in 001 Universal + MAC Oxblood lipstick & lipglass)
