5 favourites – June

Posted on June 30, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

The month of exams is finally over and my summer holiday started a week ago. I’m really looking forward to July, where I’m going to relax and hang out with friends and family. Even though June was mainly about exams I did get out of my flat a few times which resulted in a couple of my favourites this month.

Bourjois Délice de Poudre Bronzing Powder: I’ve only got one beauty favourite this month due to the fact that I’ve been home studying for my exams most days and therefore I haven’t worn make-up. The days where I did wear make-up I wore products that’s been favourites of mine for a long time, but I did rediscover this Bourjois bronzer (also known as the chocolate bronzer). This bronzer has golden shimmer in it which is why I haven’t worn it during autumn and winter, but it gives your skin such a nice bronzy glow in the summertime.

Love, Rosie (film): I’ve been watching a few new films this month (and by new I mainly mean new to me), and I’m actually going to feature two of them in this post. The first one is ‘Love, Rosie’ which is a romantic comedy/drama about two best friends, Rosie and Alex. I deals with a bunch of realistic issues like friendship, love, dreams (and teenage pregnancy), and I really enjoyed watching it. It made me smile, but it also brought tears to my eyes which usually means that it’s a great film. I’m really looking forward to watch again.

Jurassic World (film): I might have mentioned it before; ‘Jurassic Park’ is one of my two favourite films (the other being ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’), so I was extremely excited for Jurassic World. My dad and I went to see it the day after the premiere, and I loved it. I was worried that I would be disappointed, but I wasn’t, though it still doesn’t beat ‘Jurassic Park’ in my opinion.

danisnotonfire (Youtube channel): I’ve discovered a couple of new Youtube channels this month and my favourite is definitely danisnotonfire. I’d come across Dan Howell’s Youtube channel before, but it never really caught attention until a couple of weeks ago. It was actually Dan and his friend and roommate Phil’s (AmazingPhil) gaming channel that made me watch Dan’s (and Phil’s) main channel. He’s just very funny and charming and has a very contagious laugh.

One Direction concert (+ McBusted): Yes, my youngest sister and I went to the One Direction concert in Denmark again this year, and as well as last year McBusted was the warm-up act. It was an absolutely amazing concert and it’s definitely my favourite favourite this month.

Butter gloss

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I was wearing my NYX Butter Gloss for the first time, and it was very comfortable on the lips. I would love to get my hands on more of these glosses.

Pearls and a stegosaurus

Here’s the hair and make-up I wore with this outfit. I was really happy with this look. I’m wearing the beautiful earrings my sister made for me for Christmas last year, and of course my beloved stegosaurus necklace.

Cranberries

Posted on June 18, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. As I wrote in yesterday’s post the colour scheme of the outfit allowed me to play around with colourful make-up, and I decided to go all in with different red/cranberry shades, and I love how it turned out.

Top coat and concealer

Posted on June 16, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

As you know I haven’t been purchasing a lot of make-up the past couple of months, and I’m dying to shop! Last week I did buy these two little products. The nail polish top coat was on sale and I thought it would look cute on top of a lot of different colours. I’m wearing it right now, so I will tell you more about it in my next nail post. I’m soon running out of my favourite concealer, and due to the fact that I can’t get in Denmark, I thought I would try another one. I’ve been wanting to try the L’Oréal True Match concealer for a while, because there’s a shade light enough for my skin. It’s a very liquidy concealer and the coverage is not the best in my opinion, so I won’t be using it to cover up spots, but I do quite like it as an under eye concealer.

Funtime fuchsia

Posted on June 14, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore Wednesday May 6. I love the simple, peachy eye make-up; I’m actually wearing something similar today. I hadn’t worn the lipstick in a long time, but I wore it quite a lot last spring and summer, and I do think it’s very pretty.

Colourful dinosaur make-up

Posted on June 11, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. As I wrote in the outfit post the dinosaur sweatshirt begs for colourful make-up, so I went with purple and green on the eyes and soft pink on the lips.

(Eye make-up: base – e.l.f.

Comparison: drugstore liquid lipsticks

Posted on June 9, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

Remember when I compared two drugstore eyelid primers? Well, I don’t blame you if you don’t, because it was 4 months ago. I wrote that I’d might make some more posts like that, so that’s what I’m going to do now. I’m going to do a comparison of two different liquid lipsticks from the drugstore, and I’ve been wanting to make this post for a long time, but I just haven’t had the time to walk around with two-coloured lips for a whole day, until a few days ago. I’m going to compare the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet lipstick to the MUA Luxe London Velvet lip laquer. I chose to compare two pink colours (Bourjois: Pink Pong, MUA: Funk), so that my lips wouldn’t look too crazy.

I’m wearing the Bourjois one on the left side (your left) of my lips and the MUA one on the right side (I primed my lips with a bit of EOS lip balm). Since hot pinks/fuchsia pinks are my go-to lip colours, it might not come as a surprise that I love both shades. Both lipsticks are very pigmented (the MUA a bit more than the Bourjois) and equally easy (or difficult) to apply. Right after you’ve applied the lipsticks I find the Bourjois one a bit more comfortable; the MUA one is a bit sticky initially, but as soon as it has dried completely you don’t feel it on your lips. The Bourjois one turns a bit stickier during the day, but not in an annoying way. I decided not to touch up all day, so you can see how it wears. The first picture was taken right after application. The second picture was taking after I ate my lunch. As you can see the Bourjois one looks pretty much the same, while the MUA one wears off at the inner part of the lip. I’ve worn both lipsticks several times before, and I find the MUA one more difficult to reapply.

The next two pictures were taken after I ate my dinner and after removing the lipsticks respectively. After eating a larger meal for the second time the Bourjois one started to wear off a bit as well and the MUA one had worn off even more. I removed the lipsticks rather gently with Garnier Micellar Cleasing Water, and as you can see the MUA one came off easily, whereas the Bourjois one leaves a very light stain. None of them are extremely difficult to remove though.

And now to the conclusion: I really like both of them, but my favourite has to be the Bourjous Rouge Edition Velvet liquid lipstick. It looks nicer for a longer time on the lips, and you don’t have to touch up very often. It is the more expensive one though (it’s £8,99 and the MUA one is only £3), but I definitely think it’s worth the money.

Pretty black and pink

Posted on June 8, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I was really experimenting with eye make-up that week (see some other looks here and here), and I think this look is really pretty and very wearable. And it goes with any lip colour.

(Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eye shadows – MUA Ever After matte eye shadow palette (Shades: Bare + Fade + Smoke) + Sleek Storm eye shadow palette (shade: Snow Storm) + MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Lightscapade on browbone, mascara – Maybelline The Falsies Volum’ Express, eyeliner – MUA Intense Colour eyeliner in Snow White.

Pretty in the light

Posted on June 6, 2015 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love this look! I’m wearing the top row of my Stila In the Light palette on my eyes, and those colours are just perfect together. I really should wear those colours together more often. And I think the dark nude lip is a perfect match for the eyes.
