Collective drugstore haul

Posted on September 3, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

I’ve been purchasing a few drugstore products recently, and I thought I would do a collective haul.

My favourite purchase is the NYX Strobe Of Genius illuminating palette which I featured in my 5 favourites from August. I highly recommend this palette! The shades are so gorgeous and I love having so many highlight options in one place; it’s so travel friendly. My favourite shade so far has been the second shade in the top row which is a beautiful light pinky shade.

I purchased two more NYX products at the same time as the Strobe Of Genius palette; the HD Studio Photogenic finishing powder and the Slide On, Glide On, Stay On… (the name is so long) lip liner in Red Tape. The powder is a loose powder and has a very mattifying effect, but it doesn’t make your skin look dry. And you might know that my go-to lip colour is red, so I’m always on the hunt for red lip liners.

I had heard good things about the Maybelline SuperStay Better Skin powder foundation, so when I saw it was on sale, I had to try it out. I’ve only used it a couple of times, but so far I like it. I got mine in the shade 005 Light Beige.

Lastly, I did some repurchases as well. The Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 HR foundations (both the full coverage one with the red lid and this medium coverage one with the white lid) are some of my favourite foundations and I always have at least one in my collection. I also repurchased the e.l.f. Lip Exfoliator which is a much needed product when you are a matte lipstick lover.

5 favourites – August

Posted on August 31, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

I just realised in this moment that by tomorrow summer will be officially over. It’s a bit sad, but on the other hand I might be okay for me to start looking forward to Christmas then. August has been quite an eventful month for me, but I did have time to enjoy the last bits of my summer holiday. Uni started again this week, and even though I’ve enjoyed having some time off, it’s nice to be back. Anyways, here are my last favourites from this summer.

Lyseblå herre bomber jakke - second hand

Light blue bomber jacket: This second hand bomber has been my favourite piece of clothing this past month. I’m wearing it today, I wore it yesterday, I think I’ve worn it every week since I bought it. It’s just such an effortless piece and I’ve styled it in so many different ways.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel: I got this sample with my last Beautybay order and it’s probably the best brow gel I’ve tried. When you set your eyebrows with this, they stay in place all day.

NYX Strobe Of Genius illuminating palette: I haven’t gotten around to haul this palette yet (I will soon though), but I had to include it in my August favourites. These highlight shades are so beautiful and pigmented, and there’s a shade for every kind of make-up look.

Drake – Controlla (Old School R&B Medley) by Conor Maynard: I remember listening to some of Conor Maynard’s covers on Youtube many years ago, and about a month or so ago I rediscovered him. This cover/medley of songs is amazing. I don’t remember the last time I listened to a song on repeat like I did with this song in the beginning of August, and I’ve kept listening to it throughout the month. It’s so catchy!

Phillips Bluetooth højtaler 2

Philips wireless portable speaker: My youngest sister’s got one of these speakers, and I thought it was very handy, so I put it on my birthday wish list and was lucky enough to get it. I just connect it to my iPad via bluetooth, and the sound is really good. This past month I’ve been listening to even more music than I usually do because of this little guy.

First impressions: Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray

Posted on August 28, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

After only hearing and reading good things about the Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray, I finally purchased it. My first impressions of this product are that it feels really nice on the skin, smells nice and dries quickly. It claims to make your make-up last up to 16 hours, and I believe that to be true. The first time I wore it I had my make-up on for 12 hours. It was a warm day and I’d been biking (and therefore sweating) and my make-up still looked good at the end of the day. To sum up I’m for sure a fan of this product and would definitely recommend it.

MAC 15 eye shadow palette

Posted on August 22, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

For my birthday earlier this month I got my fifth MAC eye shadow, so I went out and bought an empty 15 pan MAC eye shadow palette, and I’m excited to add more eye shadows to this palette over time. The eye shadow I got for my birthday was Nylon which is described as a pale gold with icy shimmer and it has a frost finish. It’s the perfect inner corner and browbone highlight and I’m sure I’m going to use it a lot.

New clothes

Posted on August 16, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

Sort bomber jakke - Weekday Hvid og blå mønstret jakke - H&M Denimskjorte - Only Grå T-shirt - Weekday Sort kjole m. rødt, hvidt og blåt mønster - H&M

I’ve been shopping quite a bit lately and apart from the second hand clothes I bought recently, I’ve also bought some new clothes (as in not used). The item I’m most excited about is the black bomber jacket from WEEKDAY. I’ve been wanting a black bomber for a really long time, and this one is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. The blue/white jacket/cardigan (I don’t know what to call it) is from H&M and it was on sale. I thought it was cute and different to anything else I own. The denim shirt I actually bought about a month ago. I’ve been looking for a new denim shirt, and this one from Only seems to be the perfect length and it’s really comfortable as well. I usually don’t buy a lot of basics, but I had to get the grey WEEKDAY T-shirt. The material is so soft and I really like the fit. Lastly, I was on the hunt for a dress to wear at my mum’s birthday party in the end of August, and this one from H&M is so pretty. I love the colours and pattern and the simple style of the dress. I’m really looking forward to style and wear all these items.

Good Luck Trolls

Posted on August 12, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

You might have noticed by now that I’m obsessed with limited edition MAC products. I’m especially obsessed with limited edition lipsticks and I consider them collectables, but as you might also have noticed I actually use them and don’t just keep them on display. When I found out about the Good Luck Trolls collection I was really excited, because the packaging looked so colourful and pretty, and I’m so glad I managed to get my hands on these products. Initially I only ordered one lipstick and a beauty powder, but then I swatched the other lipstick colours in store yesterday and bought one more.

The lipstick I ordered online was this fun blue one. It’s called Midnight Troll and has a matte finish. It’s similar to Matte Royal from MAC’s permanent lipstick line, but Matte Royal is a bit darker and has a slight purple undertone. Midnight Troll is just straight up blue. And how cute is the name! All the names in this collection are spot on.

The lipstick I couldn’t resist at the physical store yesterday was this beautiful shimmery hot pink. It’s called Dance Off, Pants Off (how amazing is that name) and it has a frost finish. This is my first frost finish lipstick from MAC, and I can’t wait to try it on. It’s funny how frosty and metallic lipsticks have become popular again.

The product I knew I wanted as soon as I saw it was this gorgeous beauty powder. It’s called Glow Rida (another amazing name) and is a light shimmery beige powder. I wore it yesterday as my highlighter, and it was so beautiful. It’s quite a subtle highlighter, but you can definitely build it up which was what I did, and it just looks so gorgeous on the skin. This has to be my favourite packaging from the collection; that shimmery bright pink packaging is every make-up lovers dream.

Second hand finds

Posted on August 9, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

Lyseblå herre bomber jakke - second hand Rød blazer - second hand Hvid skjorte m. grønne detaljer - second hand Grøn midi nederdel - second hand Brun lædertaske

I recently did a bit of second hand shopping which I used to do a lot when I was younger, but haven’t done in recent years. The blue bomber is actually a men’s jacket, but I really liked it and I’m excited to style it. I thought the red blazer would be a great piece to add to an outfit for a pop of colour. The shirt and the skirt came as a set, and I bought it for the shirt which I think is really pretty, but it would be a fun challenge to try to style the skirt. Lastly, I found a little brown leather shoulder bag which I’m sure will look good with almost any outfit + you can never have to many little shoulder bags:)

Adidas ZX Flux

Posted on July 28, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

The Danish Adidas webshop is having a sale at the moment, so my mum and I decided to take advantage of it. We received our shoes today, and I got these Adidas ZX Flux. I think they look awesome, and I’m sure I’m going to wear them a lot.

Another beautybay haul

Posted on June 27, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

I placed an order on Beautybay.com a little while ago and I thought I would show you what I purchased.

The products I was most excited to try were the liquid lipsticks from L.A. Splash. I ordered three different kinds to test the formulas out, and I’ll make an updating post about these when I’ve tried all of them out. I got a Lip Couture in Ghoulish, a Studio Shine Lip Lustre in Catrina, and a Velvetmatte in Flix n Chill.

In my last Beautybay order I purchased two Makeup Geek blushers which I love, so I thought I would finally try out Makeup Geek eye shadows. I chose Cupcake (dusty pink) and Chickadee (warm yellow) which are both matte shadows. I haven’t worn Cupcake yet, but I’ve used Chickadee to warm up my crease a couple of times and it looked very pretty.

I also purchased two more Morphe brushes; M411 and M510. M411 is a more precise crease brush and M510 I use for highlighting. Morphe brushes are really good quality brushes for affordable prices.

Lastly, I purchased some Ardell Demi Wispies false lashes and some Duo lash adhesive. I would like to wear false lashes more often on special occasions.

And then I also got a free gift. I chose a sample size Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear brow gel which I’m excited to try out as soon as I’ve used up the brow gel I’m using at the moment.

Latest MAC lippies

Posted on June 22, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

I want to quickly show you my latest MAC purchases, because I’m really excited about them.

First off is this gorgeous lipstick from the MAC x Chris Chang collection. I think this is one of the most beautiful packagings from a limited edition collection I’ve ever seen. The collection has five lipsticks and there was a couple of other shades I wanted as well, but they were sold out. I’m really happy I got my hands on this shade though, because it’s such a gorgeous yellow-based red which is my go-to kind of lip colour. It’s called Vermillion Vee and it has a matte finish.

I also decided to finally pick up the lipstick in Faux which I’ve been swatching so many times at my local MAC store over the past many months. It’s a beautiful a mauvy pink nude and it has a satin finish.

Lastly, I purchased the lip pencil in Soar which I’ve been wanting for a really long time as well, but it had been out of stock on the Danish MAC web page for ages. It was back for a short while and now it’s out of stock again, so I’m really glad I managed to get it, because it’s so beautiful.
