Collective haul – shoes and accessories (June/July 2025)

Posted on October 5, 2025 by Mucha-Lucha

I’ve decided to put my collective hauls from June and July together and then divide them into three parts; shoes and accessories, clothes, and beauty. Today’s haul is all about shoes and accessories.

I’ve purchased two more pairs of Nike Cortez sneakers, and for once, I got them right at launch instead of waiting for them to go on sale. I’ve always wanted a pair of red Cortez, so that’s why I didn’t hesitate to pick them up. And how cool are the blue denim ones?! I just had to have those as well (they came with another set of shoelaces, which are the brown ones you see in the picture).

I know which pair of shoes I’m going to wear on Halloween this year. These The Nightmare Before Christmas classic Crocs.

Now, let’s move on to some heels. These grey satin square toe mules are from H&M, and I got them on sale.

These next two pairs are from Asos Design, and I also got these on sale.

And these last two pairs of heels are from Zara, which I haven’t purchased from for a while, but they had a nice sale, so I picked up some items including some accessories and clothes as well.

Let’s move on to accessories, the first accessory being related to shoes, because I got these orchid shoe clips from Asos Design. What a fun accessory, right?

I also picked up a necklace and three pairs of earrings in the Asos sale. Sadly, the pearl flower earrings broke, when I wanted to wear them the other day, so I had to get rid of them.

These are the accessories I got in the Zara sale, and I don’t know what it is with flower earrings, but these ones broke right away as well.

Lastly, I picked up this beaded headband from the brand Becksöndergaard. I also got this item on sale.

5 favourites – September

Posted on September 30, 2025 by Mucha-Lucha

September has come to an end, and I have to say that I’m quite excited about heading deeper into autumn. October will forever be a special month for me, because it was the month I became a mother. I’m looking forward to having a week off in the middle of October and to be celebrating my daughter’s birthday. But first, let’s talk about some September favourites.

Maybelline Fit Me Nude BB cream SPF 50 (shade: 10): I hadn’t tried anything from the Maybelline Fit Me line in a long time, but I was very intrigued by this BB cream, and I really enjoy it. It has a natural coverage with a slightly dewy finish, and it wears very well in my opinion.

Fenty Beauty Bright Fix Instant Brightening + Blurring powder (shade: Lavender 01): I hadn’t tried a lavender powder in a while, so I really wanted to give this new Fenty Beauty one a go. I like that it’s not visibly lavender on the skin, but it brightens and blurs the skin, as the name suggests, and so far I’ve been loving this powder.

Catrice Pure Volume Magic Brown mascara (shade: 010 Burgundy Brown): I’m pretty sure I haven’t featured this mascara in a favourites post before, so it’s about time. I really like this formula, and the colour is beautiful and goes with so many eye looks. And it’s super affordable too.

The Little Shop of Hidden Treasures (Den lille genbrugs butik) by Holly Hepburn (book): I have two (+ an honorable mention) book favourites this month. This one is such a charming love story about a widowed woman who moves back to her hometown and gets a job at an antique shop. I enjoyed it so much that I’m actually reading another book by Holly Hepburn at the moment.

The Duke and I (Bridgertons #1) by Julia Quinn (book): I love the Bridgerton series on Netflix, so it was about time that I started reading the books. I’ve now read the first one, and it was great. I look forward to hopefully one day read all of them.

My honorable mention in the book department is a Danish book called I en dråbe by Sissel-Jo Gazan, which is in the crime fiction genre. It’s an honorable mention, because it’s in Danish, but man, it was good.

Ocean jewel

Posted on September 29, 2025 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I was so excited to finally play with the Bellabeautébar Ocean Jewel palette, and it didn’t disappoint. I’m in love with this sheer, sparkly purple lip as well.

(Base: primer – e.l.f Cosmetics Power Grip primer, foundation – Anastasia Beverly Hills Beauty Balm Serum Boosted skin tint (shade: 2), concealers – Rare Beauty Positive Light under eye brightener (shade: Light) + Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer (shade: 1.3G Marshmellow), powders – Fenty Beauty Bright Fix Instant Brightening + Blurring powder (shade: Lavender 01) + e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow setting powder in Light. Face make-up: bronzer – Whats Up Beauty Cheeque Terre bronzer in 10 Light, blush + highlighter – Gourmande Girls Mermaid Magic face palette (shades: Neptune (blush) + Lagoon + La Mer (highlighters)). Eye make-up: base – Wet n Wild Megalast eyeshadow primer, eyeshadows – Essence eyeshadow in 20 Cream + Bellabeautébar Ocean Jewel palette (shades: Flor de la Mar + Shipwreck + Colorful Moon + Oyster + Shark’s Eye + Luminescence), mascara – Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara (shade: Plum Twilight), eyeliner – Colourpop Pretty Guardians Sailor Moon BFF Crème gel liner in Azabu-Juban. Eyebrows: NYX Lift & Snatch! Brow Tint Pen in Ash Brown + e.l.f. Cosmetics Brow Lift. Lips: MAC Liptensity lip pencil in Galaxy Grey + Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Stix shimmer in Icy Amethy$t 04)

Indie make-up haul (June 2025)

Posted on September 27, 2025 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a rather large collective indie make-up haul to share with you today. I made an order from Nomad Cosmetics, one from GlossGods Cosmetics, and two from Monolith.

Back in June, Nomad Cosmetics rereleased three of their former palettes in their updated formula, and I decided to get all three. I wore Fêtes de Provence here, America’s Parks here, and Berlin Untergrund here.

I picked up these three products from GlossGods Cosmetics’ summer collection; the Drippin’ palette, the Sizzlin’ palette, and the Multi-use Jelly Drip Stick in Drip Tease.

I wore the Drippin’ palette and the Multi-use Jelly Drip Stick here, and I wore the Sizzlin’ palette here.

Let’s move on to the first order I made from Monolith. I picked up four stunning palettes. The colour story of the Bellabeautébar Ocean Jewel palette is right up my street. I’m wearing this palette in my next make-up post.

I’ve been really enjoying Glaminatrix Cosmetics eyeshadows lately, and the Timeless Tones palette is really pretty. I created this eye look with it.

Ensley Reign Cosmetics hasn’t been wowing me lately, but I couldn’t resist the colour story of the Whispering Woods palette. I wore it here.

I usually love the colour stories Angelica Nyqvist creates, whether it being for collabs with other brands such as Oden’s Eye or for her own brand Singe Beauty. The Singe Beauty Agate Temptation palette is no exception. I created this fun look with the palette.

I love the Unearthly Cosmetics Menacing Metals lipsticks, and I was very excited about the shade extension. I picked up the shades (from left to right) Ghostly, Dragonfly, Piranha, and Darkling. I really want the shade Frostbite as well, but it has been out of stock.

These next two lip products are both from Fantasy Cosmetica, and I received them as gifts with my two orders. The lip oil is the Warlock lip oil in Ancient One, and the lipstick is the Lost Library lipstick in Lost.

Continuing with my second order, I bought my first ever lip products from Black Moon Cosmetics. I got the Sinister Satin lipstick in Werewolf and the liquid to metallic lipstick in Deville.

From Unearthly Cosmetics, I picked up their black lip liner in the shade Villan (no, it’s not a misspelling) and one of their Incandescent Glowing blushes in the shade Lumin.

The last four products are from Glaminatrix Cosmetics. I’d been wanting to try their blushes so I bought their Cream & Powder blush duo in Muted Mocha and their Liquid Cheek & Lip Flush in Sweet. Both products are so pretty.

I got the Glaminatrix Cosmetics Exquisite Eyes palette and Elevated Eyes palette on sale (I think I got them 50% off), and they both perform beautifully. I wore Exquisite Eyes here and Elevated Eyes here.

Tropical nights

Posted on September 26, 2025 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I think this blue and green eye look turned out really fun, and I always enjoy a bright red lip.

(Base: primer – Colourpop Pretty Fresh Set It Up primer, foundation – Rare Beauty Positive Light tinted moisturizer (shade: 14W), concealers – Rare Beauty Positive Light under eye brightener (shade: Light) + Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Lift & Flex concealer (shade 2), powder – Glamlite Translucent Bake and Set powder, freckles – Nabla Freckle Maker. Face make-up: bronzer – Haus Labs Power Sculpt velvet bronzer in Soleil Sand, blush + highlighter – It’s Bel Cosmetics Tropical Night blush & highlighter palette (shades: Lani + Alohi (blush) + HoKu (highlighter)). Eye make-up: bases – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly + NYX Glitter primer, eyeshadows – It’s Bel Cosmetics Tropical Nights palette (shades: Pikake + Palm Trees + Island Breeze + Tropical Nights + Ocean + Honu + Pakalana), mascara – Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara (shade: Green Altitude), eyeliner – Oden’s Eye Solmåne gel liner in 005 Avocado. Eyebrows: NYX Lift & Snatch! Brow Tint Pen in Ash Brown + e.l.f. Cosmetics Brow Lift. Lips: MAC Redd lip pencil + Sephora Collection About That Shine lacquer shine lipstick in 09 Volcanic Lava)
