Zalando sale haul (January 2023)

Posted on May 1, 2023 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a Zalando sale haul to share with you today. It includes clothes, shoes, and make-up.

Let’s begin with some Christmas jumpers. As I’ve mentioned before, I like to purchase Christmas jumpers from the previous season on sale and wear them the next many Christmas seasons to come. Both of these are from PULL&BEAR, and I’m already excited to wear these in the end of the year.

I’m still breastfeeding my daughter so if I’m going to wear a dress it’s either going to be a button up dress or a wrap style dress. This wrap style dress is from Glamorous, and I really like the mix of the two prints.

As I mentioned just recently, I really like a short sleeve button up shirt (which is also very breatfeeding friendly), and I love the colour of this one from Monki.

I think leopard print never really go out of style, and there’s a 70’s/rock’n’roll vibe to these trousers from Monki.

And now on to shoes. I love a pair of chunky flats, and I felt that I’d been missing a lace up pair like these ones from Monki in my shoe collection.

There was just something about these boots from RAID that drew me in. I love the beige and brown paired with the lilac, and I love the shape of the boots as well.

This style of shoe might seem familiar, and it’s because I own them in both black and in white as well. They’re from Monki, and I’ve worn both my black and the white pair so much, so I had to get the pink version too.

And speaking of pink, I think I have a thing for pink shoes. These sparkly sandals are from Bershka, and they’re giving me all the Barbie vibes.

Lastly, I purchased two make-up products. First, I got the Urban Decay Stoned mini palette, which I don’t think I’ve ever heard of, but I thought it looked pretty. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.

And then I also picked up the Makeup Revolution Disney’s Minnie Mouse Steal The Show blusher duo, because how couldn’t I. The packaging is so cute, and both shades look so pretty.

5 favourites – April

Posted on April 30, 2023 by Mucha-Lucha

Another month has come to an end, and I can’t believe how quickly time flies by. I’m still enjoying my maternity leave, so I spend my days with my daughter, and it’s incredible to see her grow. We’re heading into the last month of spring, but I’m still longing for warmer spring weather. The days are longer and lighter, but it’s not particularly warm outside. Anyways, let’s talk about some of my favourite things from the month of April.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Holy Hydration! face cream: The past couple of years I’ve been a bit more interested in skincare and trying different products, and one product that is always a part of my daily skincare routine is a good moisturiser. At the moment, I’m using this one from e.l.f. and I’m really enjoying it. I got the fragrance free version, and I love the texture of the product. It has hyaluronic acid and peptide complex in it, which are ingredients I really like.

Tarte Sculpt Tape contour (shade: Cool Bronze): I’d heard great things about this contour wand, and that it’s supposed to be similar to the famous Charlotte Tilbury one. I haven’t tried the Charlotte Tilbury version yet, but I really like this Tarte one. It blends out so easily and looks really natural on the skin.

Colourpop custom face palette (pressed powders): Colourpop recently released a permanent line of pressed bronzer, pressed blushes, and pressed highlighters. You can buy them in individual cases or just in the pan so you can place them in an empty palette. As you can see, I did the latter. My palette contains one bronzer, three blushes, and two highlighters, and I travelled with this palette in the very beginning of the month, and it was the perfect travel face palette.

Maanesten earrings + necklace: I got this jewellery set for my birthday last year, and I’ve worn it a lot ever since, but especially this past month. The picture also shows a bracelet, but I’ve only been wearing the necklace and earrings, and I’ve been wearing those so often.

You (TV series): I watched the first season of You a few years ago, but it wasn’t until this past month that I finally decided to watch the rest, and I’m so glad I did. My two favourite seasons are season 2 and 3, and I’m excited for the 5th and final season, which I think will be released in 2024.

Pastels + black

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wanted to wear pastel eyeshadows, but with the addition of black (which turned out to be a black wing), and I really like how the look turned out.

Fun liner placement

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I had so much fun creating this make-up look, and I love how every part of it turned out. I haven’t played around much with graphic liner and different liner placements, but this look made me want to do it more.

MAC New Year Shine and winter sales haul

Posted on April 25, 2023 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a MAC haul to share with you today. It includes a mix of products from the New Year Shine collection and some sale items.

From the New Year Shine collection I picked up the Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Beaming Blush, which is a permanent shade, the Glow Play blush in Heat Index, which is also a permanent shade, and the lipstick in Taupe of the List, which I’m pretty sure is a limited edition shade.

Here’s a closer look at the products. I think the shiny, red packaging is beautiful.

I kind of regretted not getting the MAC x Whitney Houston lipglass in Nippy’s Shimmery Cinnamon, so I eventually had to pick it up.

And now on to the winter sale items. I picked up two more products from the Whitney Houston collection. I got the MAC x Whitney Houston Whitney’s Nippy Eye-Conic palette and a back up of the Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Just Whitney. I also purchased the Lustreglass lipstick in Chili Popper.

These last three products were gifts with purchase. The lip pencil is in the shade Dervish, and the lipstick is the Love Me lipstick in Daddy’s Girl. The bag is from the 2022 holiday collection.

Not the case

Posted on April 18, 2023 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s always a bit nerve wracking doing your make-up for a special occasion, because what if it turns out bad. Luckily, that was not the case on the day of my daughter’s christening. I actually love how this make-up look turned out.

(Base: primer – Urban Decay All Nighter face primer, foundation – L’Oreal Infaillible 24H Fresh Wear foundation (shade: 015 Porcelain), concealers – Sigma Beauty Spectrum Color-Correcting Duo in Light to Medium + Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer (shade: 1.3G Marshmellow), powders – Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Tone Up in Rose + Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish powder (shade: 1 Fair).

Oden’s Eye Jewel Shine single multichrome eyeshadows

Posted on April 16, 2023 by Mucha-Lucha

In January, Oden’s Eye released their Jewel Shine single eyeshadows. The collection includes 12 multichromes and 30 shimmers. If you purchase all 12 multichromes, you get a discount plus a free 12 colour storage container, so I did just that.

These multichromes are absolutely stunning, and I love how they all look together in the storage container (empty palette). I also love the pan design. The shades are (from left to right, row by row) M001 Lola, M002 Ingrid, M003 Maja, M004 Angela, M005 Isabella, M006 Judy, M007 Noe, M008 Thor, M009 Eden, M010 Dimitri, M011 Marius, and M012 Leon. I’m wearing some of the shades here and here.
