Hit or miss

Posted on November 9, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Essence eyeshadow palettes have been very hit or miss the past couple of years, but the one I’m wearing on my eyes in these pictures from the Love, Luck & Dragons collection performed very well. I think this whole make-up look turned out super pretty.

Skipping foundation

Posted on November 7, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Because of the hot weather that day, I wanted to wear a little less make-up on my skin, so I skipped foundation. However, I still wanted a bit of colour on my eyes, cheeks, and lips.

(Base: primer – e.l.f. Skin Suntouchable! Whoa Glow SPF 30 sunscreen (shade: Sunbeam), foundation – none, concealer – Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer (shade: 1.3G Marshmellow), powders – Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Tone Up in Rose + e.l.f.

Monolith haul (June 2024)

Posted on November 5, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a Monolith haul to share with you today. It consists of some fun eyeshadow palettes and cheek products.

First up is the beautiful Blend Bunny Cosmetics Longing palette, which I actually wore on my birthday in August. I think this colour story is so pretty.

This is the Fantasy Cosmetica Cradled In Ice palette, and it was the brand’s first 12-pan palette. I like how the palette is almost divided into two halves.

I think the Unearthly Cosmetics Spring Magic collection is just stunning. I’ve worn the eyeshadow palette several times, and I’ve loved all the looks I’ve created with it. It’s such a versatile palette. The incandescent blush palette is lovely as well, if you like glowy blushes.

And lastly, also from Unearthly Cosmetics, I picked up the High Temp palette and the High Temp glowing bronzer in Fair. Great products for summer.

Inner corner pop

5 favourites – October

Posted on October 31, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

Happy Halloween! I can’t believe that Spooktober is over by tomorrow. I’ve never been one to celebrate Halloween and spooky season, but I’ve been really into this year. I’ve bought a lot of decorations, and I’ve been wearing Halloween inspired outfits this whole week, and it’s been so fun. But lots of other things happended this month. I had a week long holiday and I celebrated my daughter’s birthday with my family. I can’t believe that I have a two-year-old! Time really flies, and expecially when you have children. Anyways, I’m looking forward to me and my boyfriend’s annual Halloween date tonight (we watch The Nightmare Before Christmas and eat Halloween sweets), and I’m also really looking forward to moving into the Christmas season. But first, here are my 5 favourites from the month of October.

Short pearl necklace (Asos Design): I actually just posted a haul featuring this short pearl necklace yesterday. As I wrote I love me some pearls, and this has been one of my go-to necklaces this past month.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Power Grip primer + 4% Niacinamide: You know how much I love the original Power Grip primer from e.l.f. Cosmetics, so I was excited to try the 4% Niacinamide version, and I think I like it just as much as the original one. I’ve used it a lot this past month that’s for sure.

MAC Shape + Shade brow tint (shade: Taupe): I think I got this brow product as a gift with purchase from the MAC website at some point, and I started using it, when I’d used up my Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil. As it turns out, I really like it. At least the felt tip end (I haven’t used the “powder” end yet).

Nobody Wants This (TV series): For once I’ve had time to watch some TV series in October, so I watched the first season of “Nobody Wants This” in a few days during my holiday. I love a good rom-com, and this was really good. I’m excited for season 2.

And Just Like That… (TV series): I’ve been hesitant to watch “And Just Like That…”, because I love Sex and the City so much, but I decided to finally watch it, and I was very pleasantly surprised. It’s always difficult to do a follow up to an iconic series or film, but in this case I think it was done right.

Collect them all

Posted on October 29, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m wearing another incredible Fantasy Cosmetica palette on my eyes in these pictures. It’s become one of those brands where I just want to collect all of their palettes.

Sorcerer

Posted on October 27, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. The Fantasy Cosmetica Sorcerer palette was the perfect palette to create an eye look with to go with this outfit.

Collective haul – beauty (June 2024)

Posted on October 25, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

This is my collective beauty haul from June. This haul includes a lot of good stuff.

First I’m going to show you the items I picked up from the Danish drugstore Matas. I got most of the stuff on sale. I added another Sol de Janeiro scent to my collection. This is the Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 40 perfume mist.

These two products are from the Essence It’s Bubble Gum Fun collection. I’ve already decluttered the liquid highlighter in 01 Bubble Gum’tastic, but the bouncy blush in 01 Make My Heart Bubble is decent as far as I remember.

The NYX Butter Gloss Bling lipglosses are really nice glittery glosses. I picked up the shades 05 She Got Money and 07 Big Spender.

I was really excited to try the Fenty Beauty Hot Cheeks Velour blushlighter in Fresh Peach, but after trying it I don’t think it’s going to be one of my go-to glowy blushes due to the very golden sheen. The Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Oil Luminizing Lip Oil ‘N Gloss in $uperfine $uga looks really pretty.

I also purchased a selection of products from Clarins. I got the Bronzing Compact sunkissed healthy glow powder, two of the Instant Comfort lip oils in 24 White and 25 Black, and two of the Lip Oil balms in 2 Pitaya and 5 Cherry. I really enjoy these products.

Let’s move on to the things I bought from Sephora. I picked up these three cheek products; the Haus Labs Power Sculpt velvet bronzer in Soleil Sand, the Haus Labs Color Fuse Longwear Glassy Lip + Blushstick in Glassy Lilac, and the Milk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly Tint blush and lip stain in Burst. I really like the two products from Haus Labs, but I don’t really get the hype around the Milk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly Tints.

The other three make-up products I picked up from Sephora are the Rare Beauty Always An Optimist Soft Radiance setting powder in Light, the Natasha Denona Hy-Glam concealer in P1, and the Natasha Denona Hy-Gen Skincare Infused Glow Beautifier in Light. I really like the Rare Beauty powder, and the Natasha Denona Hy-Gen Skincare Infused Glow Beautifier is really pretty, but I just can’t seem to find the right shade of the Natasha Denona Hy-Glam concealer. Maybe it’s time to give up.

Kayali is probably my favourite perfume brand, and I was so excited to get my hands on the Vacay in a Bottle miniature set. The set comes with the following four scents; Marrakesh in a Bottle Orange Blossom I 24, Capri in a Bottle Lemon Sugar I 14, Maui in a Bottle Sweet Banana I 37, and Maldives in a Bottle Ylang Coco I 20. It’s hard to pick a favourite, but I think it’s either Capri in a Bottle Lemon Sugar I 14 or Maui in a Bottle Sweet Banana I 37.

Lastly, I had to buy these two stunning palettes from Cosmic Brushes. They’re called the Nudetrals palette and the Cooltrals palette, and I’m so impressed by both. Cosmic Brushes makes some of the best quality eyeshadows in my opinion.
