The Body Shop sale haul

Posted on June 21, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a bit of a different haul to share with you today. I purchase products from The Body Shop every once in a while, and lately I’ve been loving their Tea Tree line, so I thought I would order some products from a sale they had online a little while back.

I purchased some products from the 2020 holiday collection. I’ve already used up a Warm Vanilla shower gel, body yogurt, body scrub, and hand cream, so I purchased the Warm Vanilla Duo, which contains a body scrub, a body butter and a loofah. I also purchased the Winter Jasmine body butter and hand cream, which I haven’t tried yet, and the Festive Berry hand cream, which is my night stand hand cream at the moment.

As I mentioned, I love the Tea Tree line from The Body Shop. The Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash has become a stable in my skin care routine, so I purchased a back up. I also purchased the Tea Tree Anti-Imperfection Peel-Off Mask and the Tea Tree Targeted Gel.

Lastly, I purchased a big bottle of Mango shower gel. It’s the shower gel I’ve been using lately, and it’s smells really good.

Another matte tricolour eye look

Posted on June 20, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wanted to try another matte tricolour eye look, but I don’t like this look as much as the last one I did. Maybe this kind of look works better with certain colours/colour combos.

Winter in spring

Here’s what I wore Monday March 15. The colour scheme of this look screams spring, but the layers scream winter (I’m wearing both a shirt, a sweater vest, and a jacket).

Gold glitter

Posted on June 18, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Gold is one of the eyeshadow colours that I wear the least, but I thought it would be pretty to wear gold glitter all over my lids with the outift. The gold glitter also looks very pretty paired with a bright, red lip.

Way behind

Posted on June 17, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s what I wore Friday March 12. It’s a bit strange posting a wintery look like this when it’s summer in Denmark right now, but as you might have noticed I’ve way behind when it comes to posting outfits and make-up looks. I guess I’ve just had more time to take pictures during the lock down.

First impressions: Catrice HD Liquid Coverage foundation

Posted on June 16, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

It’s been exactly one month since I last wrote a first impressions post, and this time I tested and wrote down my first impressions of the Catrice HD Liquid Coverage foundation.

In this first picture I’m only wearing a primer (e.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer) and the foundation. The applicator is a pipette/droplet applicator, which I don’t like; it’s quite messy. I’m wearing the shade 005 Ivory Beige, and it’s a little dark on me, even though it’s the second to lightest shade, but I can make it work. The foundation is full coverage and it has a matte finish (as it claims), but it doesn’t look dry on the skin; my natural oils shine through a little bit, which I don’t mind. It has a pretty strong scent to it, which I’m not the biggest fan of, but I don’t find that it lingers for too long.

In the picture above, I’m also wearing concealer (L’Oréal Infaillible More Than Concealer) and powder (Essence Brighten Up! Banana powder in 10 Bababanana + Rimmel Clear Complexion Clarifying powder in 021 Transparent), which looked nice on top of the foundation, and I also think it helped a bit with the shade match. The foundation claims to last up to 24 hours, however I only wore it for 9 hours. It looked pretty much the same right before I removed it as when I applied it; my skin was still matte but not dry looking. The foundation was very easy to remove with micellar water, and overall I really like this foundation, and I’ve since purchased the lightest shade to see if it’s a better match.

Blue eyes/brown lips

Posted on June 15, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. A couple of weeks ago, I also posted a blue eyes/brown lip look, and I really liked that look, so here’s another version. Can you tell I like blue and brown together?

(Base: primer – e.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer, foundation – Wet n Wild Photofocus foundation (shade: Soft Ivory), concealer – L’Oréal Infaillible More Than Concealer (shade: 322 Ivory), powders – Hourglass Ambient Lighting Ethereal Edit palette (shade: Etherial Light) + Jeffree Star Magic Star Setting Powder in Fair. Face make-up: bronzer – Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk’r – Instant Warmth bronzer (shade: Inda Sun), blusher – MAC Glow Play blush in So Natural, highlighter – MAC Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Cold Comfort. Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – BH Cosmetics Lost in Los Angeles palette (shades: The Abbey + City Of Angels) + BH Cosmetics Blueberry Muffin palette (shades: Delish + Sugared), mascaras – Essence Volume Booster lash primer + Fenty Beauty Full Frontal – Volume, Lift & Curl mascara, eyeliner – NYX Vivid Brights eyeliner in Love. Eyebrows: Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown + e.l.f. Clear Brow & Lash Mascara. Lips: Essence Invisible Kiss transparent lipliner in 01 Multitalent Wonder + MAC Derriére lipstick)

Cloudy

Posted on June 14, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s what I wore Thursday March 11. I wanted to wear the cloudy sweater vest, and I really liked the idea of pairing it with the brown faux leather skirt. Blue and brown is a new colour combo discovery of mine, and I’m into it.

Pink/gold duochrome

Posted on June 13, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love pink/gold duochrome eyeshadows, and I thought such an eyeshadow would be perfect with this outfit. The one I’m wearing here is from MAC, but I do have a couple of other similar shades in my collection which are also super pretty.

(Base: primer – Essence Wanna Bee My Honey? luminizing primer in 01 You’re Bee-autiful!, foundation – Maybelline Dream Urban Cover foundation (shade: 100 Warm Ivory), concealers – L’Oréal Infaillible More Than Concealer (shade: 322 Ivory) + Essence Camouflage+ Healthy Glow concealer in 10 Light Ivory, powders – Essence Brighten Up!

Eyebrows: Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown + e.l.f. Clear Brow & Lash Mascara. Lips: Jeffree Star Velour liquid lipstick in Yes Ma’am! + MAC Break The Ice lipglass)

One of the happiest colour combos

Posted on June 12, 2021 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s what I wore Wednesday March 10. I love pink and orange/yellow together. It’s just one of the happiest colour combos.
