Beauty Bay haul (September/October 2023)

Posted on March 4, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a collective Beauty Bay haul to share with you today. I purchased these products back in September and October.

I know that Jeffree Star is controversial, but I don’t pay much attention to the people behind the brands. I mainly care about the quality of the products, and I like a lot of products from Jeffree Star Cosmetics. This is the Gothic Beach palette, which has quite an unusual colour story, however, I wore it here, and I really liked the look I created with the palette.

I don’t buy all the Anastasia Beverly Hills palettes, but I’d been wanting to try the Cosmos palette to see if the shifty shimmers were any good, so when I found it on sale, I picked it up. I mean, it’s not indie shimmers, but they were pretty, especially the light blue shimmer called Supercluster.

The last palette in this haul is the By BEAUTY BAY Metamorphic 16 colour palette. The colour story is right up my street, and I love that it’s shimmer heavy. I usually like the By BEAUTY BAY formula, and these shadows were very pretty on the eyes.

How cute is this Trixie Cosmetics Flower Power bronzer! I got the lightest shade called Darling Daisy, and it contains a contour, a bronzer, and a highlighter shade.

I purchased two products from Made By Mitchell; the Curve Case in Light and the Blursh Glaze in Sprinkles. Both products were on sale, and I really like both. I especially like the Curve Case.

I also picked up two products from about-face; another Cheek Freak blush balm (shade: Champagne Room) and another Cherry Pick lip color (shade: The Cranberries). I really like both of these formulas.

Lastly, I got the Laneige Midnight Minis travel-size lip mask set. I’ve been wanting to try out the Laneige lip masks for a while, so I thought this set of minis would be a great way to sample some different scents/flavours. The set includes Vanilla, Mango, Berry, Sweet Candy, and Gummi Bear.

Posted on March 1, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

5 favourites – February

Posted on February 29, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

February was another tough month for me, so once again I won’t write a whole ton in this 5 favourites post. However, as always, I did find 5 favourites this past month that I’ll share with you, so here goes.

NYX Pro Fix Stick correcting concealers: I don’t remember the last time I tried a stick concealer, but I’m very impressed with these ones from NYX. I got two correctors (pink and green) and a concealer shade that matches my skin, and I like all three of them. They’re creamy and easy to blend, and they have nice coverage.

Sigma Beauty Eyeshadow Base Primer (shade: Ignite): I’m pretty sure, I haven’t featured this particular shade of Sigma Beauty Eyeshadow Base Primer in a 5 favourites post before, so I thought it was about time, since it’s one of my favourite eyeshadow primers.

Essence I Love Extreme crazy volume mascara: It took me a long time to try this mascara, because for some reason I didn’t think I would like it, but it turns out that I do. It gives you lashes a lot of volume, so the name of it makes sense.

Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara (shade: Pink Air): I don’t think I’ve ever featured two mascaras the same month, but this one is very different from the Essence one. And I have featured this mascara formula in a 5 favourites before, but not this shade. Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara is one of my top favourite mascaras, and I love that it now comes in more shades, such as this beautiful pink.

Pandora hoop earrings (w. Disney pendants): I love my Pandora x Disney jewellery, and I got these hoop earrings for Christmas to wear with Disney pendants. For now I’ve been wearing them with these Mickey and Minnie pendants, but who knows, I might change it up in the future.

Sickly sweet pastels

Posted on February 28, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love a pastel eye look, and the Blend Bunny Cosmetics Sickly Sweet palette (which I haven’t hauled yet) could easily become my new favourite pastel palette.

Face make-up: bronzer – MAC Skinfinish Sunstruck Matte bronzer (shade: Matte Light Rosy), blusher – Colourpop pressed powder blush in Prairie Air, highlighter – Colourpop Pretty Guardians Sailor Moon pressed powder highlighter in Moonlight. Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Essence eyeshadow in 20 Cream + Blend Bunny Cosmetics Sickly Sweet palette (shades: Rosy Cheeks + Lollipop + Cry-Baby + Pout + Glow Stick + Sugar High + Cotton Candy + Crying Sparkles + Sprinkles + Cupcake), mascara – Catrice Glam & Doll False Lashes mascara, eyeliner – NYX Faux Whites eyeliner in Seashell. Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze + Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown. Lips: MAC Shock Value Pro Longwear lip pencil + Colourpop Lux lip oil in Lights Szn)

Posted on February 26, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

Zalando sale haul (September 2023)

Posted on February 24, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a Zalando sale haul to share with you today. It includes a mix of everything.

I already own this type of dress from Monki in another pattern, but it’s just such a comfortable dress to wear in the summer.

These pastel Jeffrey Campbell loafers were a bit of a splurge, but I’d been eyeing them for so long, and I got a Zalando gift card for my birthday last year, so I decided to finally get them. I’m wearing them here and here.

You know I love Crocs, and I love to accessorise them with fun Jibbitz, so I picked up these three 5-packs in the sale.

The only thing I picked up from the Revolution x Grease collection was the It’s The Word shadow palette. I really like the colour story, and it actually performed quite well. I’m wearing it here.

BH Cosmetics is sadly not the great brand that it used to be, but I still decided to try out a couple of their newer products; the Summer Heat cream bronzer in Light and the Juicy Gossip lip oil in Mango. Both products are nice, but not my absolute favourites.
