Beauty Bay haul (July)

Posted on September 10, 2022 by Mucha-Lucha

It’s time for a collective Beauty Bay haul. As far as I remember, I made two different orders from Beauty Bay in July, and I thought I could put them together in one big haul.

I purchased three palettes from By BEAUTY BAY; the Loves Notes palette, the New Mood palette, and the TECHNIDAZE palette.

The Love Notes palette was this year’s Valentine’s Day release from By BEAUTY BAY, and I didn’t purchase it when it released, because I already have a lot of purple, pink, and neutral eyeshadows in my collection. However, when I saw that it was on sale at a very affordable price, I decided to get it anyways, because I love the By BEAUTY BAY eyeshadow formulas.

On the other hand, I was sure I wanted the New Mood palette as soon as I saw it. This colour story is interesting with it’s mix of colours and neutrals, and some of the metallics are duochromes, and they’re stunning. Even though I haven’t used all the shades yet, I already know that my favourite shade is Inspired, which is the most beautiful blue-purple duochrome.

This is the first 8 pan palette, I’ve purchased from By BEAUTY BAY, but I just love bright colourful eyeshadows so much, and these shades are so pretty. I used this palette for my most recent make-up look.

I also picked up some more products from the By BEAUTY BAY Disney Colour and BEAUTY BAY collab. I accidentally broke the handle on my Jeffree Star Cosmetics hand held mirror, so I needed a new one and decided to pick up the Alice In Wonderland one from this collab. I also picked up the Shadow Stick Vault, which contains all six shades of the Shadow Sticks, and as you can see, they’re all pretty, colourful shades.

Lastly from By BEAUTY BAY I received this Super Plump lip gloss as a free gift with purchase. It’s in the shade Fizz.

Now on to a few more eye products. As I mentioned in a recent make-up post, I’m really into creams and liquids and all kinds of different types of eyeshadows these days, so I picked up the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Eye Gloss Powder in Voodoo Glass, the Danessa Myricks Beauty Twin Flames Multichrome Pigment in Passion, and I also decided to try the Danessa Myricks Beauty Infinite Chrome Pencil in Jade.

The Jeffree Star Cosmetics Eye Gloss Powder is a beautiful sheer gold with a green shift. The Danessa Myricks Beauty Twin Flames Multichrome Pigment is a pastel pink and lime green duochrome liquid eyeshadow (I’m wearing it here), and the Danessa Myricks Beauty Infinite Chrome Pencil is described as a seafoam green and periwinkle duochrome. I guess, I’m into products that shift green:)

I also picked up a couple of blushers. I got the Physicians Formula Matte Monoi Butter blush in Mauvy Mattes and the Melt Cosmetics Digital Dust Duo blush in Buzz Kill. Both of these products are very aesthetically pleasing, but one is matte and the other is glowy. I’m especially excited about the Melt Cosmetics blush, because I’ve been wanting to try it for so long.

I puchased three highlighters as well. I’ve already worn all three, and I love all three! Even though I own quite a few of the Made By Mitchell Blursh liquid blushers, I’m still not sure how I feel about them, but it’s a different story with this Made By Mitchell Blursh Lights liquid highlighter. I picked up the shade Champagne Spray, and even though I’ve only worn it once so far, I liked it instantly. I also got another shade of the About-Face Light Lock Highlight Fluid, because I love the formula. This time I picked up the shade Unrestrained, which is beautiful soft lavender. And the last highlighter, I purchased, is the famous Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector pressed highlighter in Champagne Pop. It is now called Smashbox x Becca, but the product is the same. I picked up the mini size, because I never go through an entire highlighter.

Lastly, I picked up two base products from e.l.f. Cosmetics. I purchased a back-up of the Flawless Brightening concealer in Fair 10 C, because I just love that product, and I also picked up the Camo powder foundation in Fair 120 N, which I’d heard such good things about. I’ve only used it a few times, but so far I like it a lot.

Cocopanda haul (July)

Posted on September 6, 2022 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a Cocopanda haul to share with you today. It consists of a mix of products I purchased back in July.

Let’s begin with some random bits. This haul came together because I’ve been wanting to try the Maybelline Superstay Active Wear 30H concealer for a while. I picked up the shade 05 Ivory, which is a good match for my skin. However, I’m not sold on this concealer. At least not yet. I have to test it out a bit more. I also picked up the Wet n Wild Mega Slicks lip gloss in Sinless, which is very pretty. The two products I’m probably the most excited about is the MAC Shadeshifter Duochrome Eye Shadow in 05 Calling Your Bluff and the Clinique Almost Lipstick in 06 Black Honey.

I’d been considering getting one of these MAC eyeshadows, since the launched with last year’s holiday collection, and Cocopanda had this one shade left and it was on sale, so I thought that it was now or never. I haven’t tried it on my eyes yet, but I’m really excited to create an eye look with it.

Apparently this Clinique lipstick has been popular on social media. I just liked the way it looked in swatches and pictures, so I thought I would give it a try. I’m wearing it here, and it’s really pretty. A great lip colour for autumn.

Then I picked up some products from the Essence Cute As Shell collection. I got the Nail Polish in 01 You’re An Ang-Shell!, the Blushlighter in 01 Let Us Take A Shellfie!, and the PH-Reacting Lip Tint in 01 Ready, Shell, Glow!. All three products are very pretty. I’m wearing the blushlighter and the lip tint here.

The last thing I got was this Shelas sponge set. It looks like a holiday release (probably from last year), and it was heavily discounted. I purchased it mainly for the sponge holder, but it’s also nice to have an extra travel case, and I’m also going to try out the sponges at some point.

Powders and liquid

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m experimenting with different types of eyeshadows these days; cream, liquid, jelly etc. I guess, I’m trying to get used to being able to do quicker eye looks for when the baby arrives, but I’m also having a lot of fun with it.

Collective haul (June)

Posted on September 2, 2022 by Mucha-Lucha

My June collective haul is a slightly smaller one, and it’s mainly beauty products, but I thought that I would still share them with you.

First off, I purchased some products in the MAC summer sale. I got the Hit The Bull’s Eye Kit, which contains the 24-Hour Extend Eye Base, the Fast Response Eye Cream, and the Prep + Prime highlighter pen in the shade Bright Forecast. The only one of these products that I’ve tried so far is the Prep + Prime highlighter pen, but the shade is sadly a little dark on me. I’m excited to try the other two products though.

From MAC I also purchased the Prep + Prime Fix+ in Pinklite and the MAC Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Soft Frost. This Fix+ has pink shimmer in it, and I thought it would be fun to try. The Extra Dimension Skinfinish is Soft Frost is a permanent shade that I’ve been wanting to try pretty much ever since it launched. It’s described as a white that breaks violet, and I thought that sounded really pretty, and it is.

I received this eye set and a tote bag as free gifts with my order. The eye set consists of the In Extra Dimension 3D Black Lash mascara, the Technakohl liner in Graphblack, and the Brow Set in Clear.

The original Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara is one of my favourite mascara, so I thought I would try out the newer Cosmic Black version. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m excited to do so.

The last item in the haul is not make-up, but this multipack of earrings from H&M. I think they’re super cute, and I’m pretty sure I’ve worn all of them at this point.
