Difficult to find

Posted on August 29, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s always difficult to find a flattering light pink lipstick, but I don’t hate the colour of this one from Maybelline, and I love the formula.

Another Asos sale haul (late April 2024)

Posted on August 25, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

I know I recently posted a two part Asos sale haul, but I actually have another such haul today though not as big.

There’s only one piece of clothing in this haul and it’s this pair of denim shorts from Asos Design. I’ve really enjoyed styling and wearing these this summer.

The majority of this haul consists of accessories. These are the jewellery I picked up. The rhine stone necklace, the strawberry earrings, and the mixed metal bracelet are from Asos Design, and the golden bracelet is from Topshop.

You have probably noticed my love for hair accessories, and I’ve been loving a bow hair clip. This cute, denim one is from the brand Sister Jane.

I have these big hair clips in a lot of different colours, and I’m happy to have added this clear one from DesignB London to my collection, because it goes with everything.

Lastly, I bought some beauty products. The e.l.f. Skin Holy Hydration! face cream in the fragrance free version is a repurchase. So is the e.l.f. Cosmetics Power Grip primer, which is one of my favourite primers. I also got another shade of the e.l.f. Cosmetics Camo liquid blushes; it’s in the shade Dusty Rose. And then I picked up the Made By Mitchell Blursh Glaze liquid highlighter in Biscuit Bish. The liquid highlighters are probably my favourite Made By Mitchell products.

Colourpop haul – Beauty and The Beast + more (April 2024)

Posted on August 20, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a Colourpop haul to share with you today. This haul includes the Beauty and The Beast collection, some sale items and more.

I’m pretty sure this is the entire Beauty and The Beast collection, which includes an eyeshadow palette, a Super Shock highlighter, two pressed powder blushes, two lip kits, and a lip mask.

This is what the eyeshadow palette looks like. I think this is a very pretty palette that captures the film and the characters of Belle and the Beast very well. I wore it here together with some of the other products from the collection.

The two pressed powder blushes come in the shades Ms. Potts and Chip, and both shades are lovely.

The Super Shock highlighter is in the shade Special Guest. I don’t particularly like this huge packaging, but I love the Super Shock highlighter formula.

These are the two Lux lipstick kits in Great Adventure (Belle’s kit) and Break the Spell (Beast’s kit). The Great Adventure kit comes with the Not So Odd Lux lipstick and the Bookworm Ultra Glossy lip, and the Break the Spell kit comes with the Last Petal Lux lipstick and the Kind & Gentle Ultra Glossy lip. I really like both of these lip kits.

And of course the collection had to include a cute, on theme lip mask, and this one is called the Enchanted Rose lip mask.

And sticking with the Disney Princess theme I picked up the Disney Designer collection It’s A Princess Thing palette on sale.

The only other palette I got (which wasn’t on sale) is the So Elemental palette, which is a beautiful cool-toned blue palette.

I don’t know anything about Naruto, but I love the Super Shock shadows, and I thought this Ninja Academy Super Shock shadow set looked really cute. It comes with the three shades (from left to right) Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha.

I also picked up a couple more Super Shock shadows. These are in the shades Flower Child and For Real.

Speaking of Super Shock, I also love the Super Shock blushes, so I picked up these three shades called (from left to right) Growth Flirt, Drop of a Hat, and Bardot.

I hadn’t tried this more glowy version of the pressed powder blushes, so I purchased these two shades called Morning Vibes and Dancing Queen.

Lastly, I wanted to try the So Juicy plumping gloss balms and picked up the She’s So Juicy set, which includes the shades (from left to right) Guava Glaze, Dolled Up, and Berry Spritz. So far I like these.

Purish haul (April 2024)

Posted on August 15, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a beauty haul to share with you today. I purchased these products from the German site Purish.

The Lunar Beauty Moonshroom collection is one of the main reasons I made this order. I think this palette is so stunning. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.

I also got the Moonshroom highlighter palette, which is such a stunner as well.

This is the Lethal Cosmetics Mellow Grove palette, which is another palette I had my eye on. I really enjoyed the Lethal Cosmetics Midnight Serenade palette, so I was hoping that this palette would have the same great quality.

From Lethal Cosmetics I also picked up the Magnetic face powder in Pansy and two of the Haze plush lip creams in the shades Leeward and Hydra. I really like the glowy blushes from Lethal Cosmetics, and this Pansy shade is so fun. I haven’t tried the Haze plush lip creams yet.

Lastly, I got the Danessa Myricks Beauty Blurring Buddies holiday kit, which includes a mini of the Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder in Universal and the Blurring Balm Powder Flushed in the shade It Girl. I already own a full size of the Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder in Universal, which I love, and I’ve got another shade of the Blurring Balm Powder Flushed blushes, so I knew that they were good. They’re some of the most long lasting cream blushes I’ve tried.

Second hand haul (April 2024)

Posted on August 10, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

I’d not been second hand shopping for a really long time (I’m not quite sure why), but earlier this year I started to get back into it, and it’s been a lot of fun. The first two pieces are from an indoors flea market, where the clothes are sold by private sellers, and the rest is from charity shops.

I’d been wanting a thermal one piece for a while to wear outdoors in the winter, and when I saw this colourful, floral one from one of my favourite brands Crás, I just had to have it. It looked like it had never been used.

I also found these acid lime green slacks from Crás with the tags still on, and I have the matching blazer in my closet already.

And now on to the stuff I purchased from charity shops. I’ve been looking for more trousers that fit after I lost the “baby weight”, and I picked up these brown jeans, but they’re actually a little too big on me.

I don’t remember if I’ve ever had a denim vest before, but this oversized one is a fun layering piece.

I want to add more fun blouses to my wardrobe, and I thought this floral one was very pretty.

This is one of my favourite pieces I picked up. It’s such a fun vintage find; it even has a bow on the back.

Leopard print is everywhere, so I loved finding this sheer leopard print shirt second hand.

I’ve already worn this white short sleeve shirt several times. It’s just such a versatile piece.

I don’t wear a lot of cropped tops, but I just loved this pink blouse/shirt.

I also picked up a couple of hats; a soft black-ish baker boy hat and a fun, furry leopard print one.

Lastly, I got this purple, green, and blue patterned tie. I love finding fun, printed second hand ties.

Harvest moon

Posted on August 9, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. The Ensley Reign Cosmetics Harvest Moon palette is a very dark, autumnal looking palette, but I thought the colour story matched this outfit so well.

(Base: primer – e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Poreless Putty primer, foundation – Rare Beauty Positive Light tinted moisturizer (shade: 14W), concealers – Rare Beauty Positive Light under eye brightener (shade: Light) + Fenty Beauty We’re Even hydrating longwear concealer (shade: 120N), powders – Essence Brighten Up! Banana powder in 10 Bababanana + Kiko Milano Radiant Fusion baked powder in 01. Face make-up: bronzer – Revlon SkinLights Prismatic bronzer in 110 Sunlit Glow, blusher – Colourpop pressed powder blush in Dancing Queen, highlighter – Essence Got A Crush On Apricots baked highlighter in 01 Feel The Apricôt D’Azur Sun. Eye make-up: base – Sigma Beauty Eyeshadow Base Primer in Ignite, eyeshadows – Essence eyeshadow in 20 Cream + Ensley Reign Cosmetics Harvest Moon palette (shades: Hayride + Cozy + Harvest Moon + Tombstone + Corn Maze + Foliage), mascara – Rimmel Kind & Free mascara (shade: 02 Brown Black), eyeliner – Oden’s Eye Solmåne gel liner in 002 Orange. Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze + Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown. Lips: Colourpop Lippie pencil in Absolute Zero + 3ina The Lipstick in 172 + Catrice Plump It Up lip booster in 070 Fake It Till You Make It)

MAC sale haul (April 2024)

Posted on August 5, 2024 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a small MAC haul to share with you today. I purchased these products in the spring sale.

I picked up three face products; the Studio Finish SPF 35 concealer in NC15, the Extra Dimension blush in Fairly Precious, and the Glow Play blush in That’s Peachy. So far, I’m not sure about the concealer. I don’t think the coverage is that good, but I need to try it out some more. I love both the Extra Dimension blush formula and the Glow Play blush formula, and these colours are beautiful.

Besides the three face products I also got four lipsticks. I purchased three of them and got the last one as a free gift with purchase. The shades are (from left to right) Spirit (satin), Brick-O-La (amplified), Sweet Sakura (cremesheen), and You’re Buggin’ Lady (Powder Kiss). The Powder Kiss lipstick was the free gift.
