First impressions: MAC Prep + Prime Fix +

Posted on June 15, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

About a month ago I did a first impressions post on the L’Oréal Nude Magique Cushion foundation and I thought I would make another one. This is not a new product, but it’s new to me. I’ve been wanting to try out MAC Prep + Prime Fix + (also known as just Fix +) for a really long time. I purchased it a little while ago, but I wrote down my initial thoughts. It’s a finishing spray and not a setting spray, so you shouldn’t expect it to make your make-up last longer. It does finishes off your make-up very nicely and makes your make-up look less powdery or cakey. It brings some moisture back to your skin and it feels and smells really good as well. So as a finishing spray it works very well. It’s also an amazing product if you want to intensify your shimmery eye shadows. Just spray a bit of the product onto your eye shadow brush, dip it in the eye shadow and apply it to you eyelids. I’ve been especially loving to use it to intensify my inner corner highlight. All in all, I love this product, and I think it’s a common opinion among beauty lovers.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love the ColorSensational lipsticks by Maybelline and this deep red one is so beautiful.

Dark colours

Here’s what I wore Wednesday May 11. Even though it was a very warm day the day I wore this outfit, and dark colours are not very summery, I just love these trousers that pair best with black and burgundy.

Even more NYX lippies

Posted on June 9, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

After trying the NYX soft matte lip creams and the NYX Liquid Suedes, I knew that I wanted more colours because both liquid lipstick lines are really good. I recently bought three more soft matte lip creams and two more Liquid Suedes.

The soft matte lip cream shades I picked up are Stockholm (nude), Prague (deep magenta), and Copenhagen (deep red plum). The only shade I haven’t worn yet is Copenhagen, but I’m sure I’m going to love it just as much as I love Stockholm and Prague (and the other shades I own).

The two shades of the Liquid Suedes I picked up are Soft-Spoken (rosy-brown nude) and Vintage (brown plum). These shades are quite unique in my collection, and they are so beautiful. If you have any recommendations for other shades of both lip products, I would love to know.

Sandal weather

Here’s what I wore Tuesday May 10. This was the first day this year that it was warm enough outside to wear sandals. I think I bought these sandals two summers ago, but I actually haven’t worn them that much until this past month where I’ve worn them a lot.

Doo-Wop

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love a bright pink lip, and I think the shimmery, slight bronze eye make-up really makes the lip pop.

Warm week

Here’s what I wore Monday May 9. The Danes were blessed with a really nice, warm week in the beginning/middle of May. It was not as hot as it’s been this past week (it’s boiling hot in my flat right now), but still warm enough to show off a bit of skin.

Walk on the wild side

Posted on June 4, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

A couple of weeks ago I found this NARS Andy Warhol Walk On The Wild Side set at a local drugstore and I had to get it. I did a little research and apparently it was a part of the NARS x Andy Warhol Holiday Collection from 2012. It contains an illuminator in Silver Factory, a Larger Than Life lipgloss in Orgasm and nail polish in It. The liquid illuminator is actually silver, but it’s not too silver in my opinion and I quite like it. I’ve worn the lipgloss once on top of a nude lipstick, and it looked really pretty. I haven’t worn the nail polish yet, because my nails are crap at the moment, but I’ll post a picture when I once try it on.

One month ago

Posted on June 3, 2016 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s what I wore Tuesday May 3. It’s hard to believe that exactly one month ago I wore a leather skirt and tights and a jacket (both indoors and outdoors), and for the past week I’ve been barelegged and have been in no need of a jacket whatsoever.

Burnt rust

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I went with a warm neutral eye and a rust red/burnt red lip, I think it matched the outfit very well.
