Monolith palette haul (July 2023)

Posted on January 20, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

I have an indie palette haul to share with you today. I purchased all of these palette of the Monolith website. As far as I remember I made two separate orders and decided to put them into one haul.

I purchased three Blend Bunny Cosmetics palettes. This is the Surge palette, and I really like the colour story and tones in this palette. The buttom row of neons is so fun. I’m wearing the palette on my eyes here.

The Lure palette was the palette I was the most excited to try from Blend Bunny Cosmetics. This mermaid colour story is just so stunning. I wore a purple look with the palette here.

And the last Blend Bunny Cosmetics palette I picked up was the Sugar & Grunge palette. Another beautiful colour story.

I got two palettes from Unearthly Cosmetics, and they were also my first palettes from this brand (I’ve purchased more since). This is the Dead of Night palette and I got it on sale. I love this colour story as well. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.

I love the Strawberry Milkshake palette from Unearthly Cosmetics, and I also got this one on sale. Red, pink, and green is such a beautiful colour combo. I wore this palette on my birthday last year.

I just couldn’t skip on this colour story either. This is the Give Me Glow Cosmetics Bad Witch Club palette. I also got this palette on sale, and I’m not sure if it is available anymore. I just posted a make-up look with this palette yesterday.

The last palette, I got, is the Sugar Drizzle The Mattes Rainbow Purple palette, and this one was also on sale. I think Sugar Drizzle is mainly known for their all shimmer palettes, but since purple is my favourite colour, I thought this palette would be a great companion palette for all the beautiful shimmer shades I have in my collection.

Colourpop haul – 30% off sitewide (July 2023)

Posted on January 15, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a Colourpop haul to share with you today. I made this order back in July when Colourpop had a 30% off sitewide sale.

I picked up two eyeshadow palettes. The first one is the Enchanted palette, which is a super pretty purple palette. I’m wearing the palette on my eyes here.

I love red and pink eyeshadow together, so the colour story in the Flirty Talk palette is so beautiful to me. The quality of this palette is great too. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.

The collection that came with the Flirty Talk palette also included the cute heart-shaped pressed powder blushes. These are the shades Hot 2 Touch and Cupid’s Bow, and they’re both super fun and pretty.

I really enjoy the Lite Stix highlighters from Colourpop, so when the launched (or re-launched) the Bronze Stix, Blush Stix, and the Lite Stix, I purchased the Sun Plz cheek set, which came with the Bronze Stix in Laguna Beach, the Blush Stix in Mini Me, and the Lite Stix in Glazey.

Lastly, I got two more shades of the Lippie pencils. I got an orange called Absolute Zero, and a fuchsia shade in I Heart This.

Purple is back

Posted on January 14, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with my New Year’s Eve outfit. Purple is my favourite colour and I’ve missed wearing purple eyeshadow. And as much as I love red lipstick, it was fun wearing something different after a month (and a half) of wearing almost only red lipstick.

Face make-up: bronzer – Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk’r Instant Warmth bronzer (shade: Inda Sun), blusher – Lethal Cosmetics Magnetic face powder in Aster, highlighter – Colourpop Pretty Guardians Sailor Moon pressed powder highlighter in Moon Kingdom.

Dark phase

Posted on January 12, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’ve been having a lot of fun creating darker eye looks lately. I’ve been loving dark lips as well. Maybe I’m just in a dark make-up phase.

Collective haul (July 2023)

Posted on January 10, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a collective haul to share with you today. I purchased these items back in July (I know I’m way behind on hauls), and most of the items are make-up products, but there are also a few clothing pieces and some jewellery.

I really enjoy the Lethal Cosmetics eyeshadows, so when they launched their Pure Metals and Multichromes I purchased all 12 in a bundle which also included an empty 12-pan palette. I haven’t tried them all yet, but the ones I have tried are absolutely stunning. I’m wearing a couple of the Pure Metals shades here.

GlossGods Cosmetics has an incredible shimmer shadow formula and their multichromes are breathtakingly beautiful, so I had to pick up the Lavender Skies remixed palette and the The Color of Rain palette.

This is what the Lavender Skies remixed palette looks like, and I think the colour story is so pretty. I’m wearing the palette on my eyes here.

Here’s the inside of the The Color of Rain palette. I wore three shades from this palette on my eyes today, and they were gorgeous!

I picked up this little selection of products from Asos. I got the e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Poreless Putty primer, the e.l.f. Cosmetics Luminous Putty bronzer in the shade Vacay Mood, the e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow Beauty Wand blush in Rosé You Slay, the Revolution Pro Goddess Glow cream highlighter in Alight, and the Benefit Treasure Island butter balm in Island Poppy. The stand out product here is definitely the e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Poreless Putty primer, but I also love the e.l.f. Cosmetics Luminous Putty bronzer. I’ve already decluttered the Revolution Pro Goddess Glow cream highlighter, mainly because the shade wasn’t great on me, and I’ll probably declutter the Benefit Treasure Island butter balm soon as well; it feels really gritty in the lips.

These are the two pieces of clothing I picked up. I found the lime green blazer from the brand Crás on sale, and I think it’s a stunning blazer, and the quality seems really good. I also bought a simple pair of light blue jeans from H&M, because they’re nice to have in your wardrobe.

Lastly, I purchased two pairs of earrings and two rings. The purple hoops are from Pieces and the silver “croissant” earrings are from a brand called By Jolima. The silver ring is from Maanesten, and the gold and pink ring is from a brand called Design Letters. I got all of these pieces on sale.

Smokey glam
