Collective haul – non Black Friday (November 2025)

Posted on January 21, 2026 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a rather large collective haul to share with you today. These are the items I purchased back in November that weren’t part of any Black Friday sales. However, quite a few of these items were purchased during Singles’ Day sales. Let’s begin with some indie palettes though.

I hadn’t picked up the Nomad Cosmetics Pacific Northwest intense color & chrome palette at launch. I was waiting for another Nomad Cosmetics launch, and when they launched their Christkindlmarkt intense color & chrome palette, I picked up both palettes. I also got a free gift with the Christkindlmarkt palette. Both palettes are beautiful, and I generally really enjoy Nomad Cosmetics eyeshadows.

I haven’t been interested in a Natasha Denona midi palette in a while, because they’ve had very neutral colour stories. However, there was something about the Bloom palette that I liked, but I didn’t want to pay full price for it, so I waited for the Sephora Singles’ Day sale to purchase it.

These are the other items I got in the Sephora Singles’ Day sale; the Natasha Denona Hy-Glam concealer in N1, a back-up of the Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer in 1.3G Marshmallow (my favourite concealer), and a Sephora Collection Rouge Is Not My Name no transfer matte lipstick in 07 Pinpoint.

I’m always excited about a new MAC launch, so I picked up two MAC Dazzlelips crayons in the shades Cosmic Plum and Lunar Violet. I got them 25% off.

Here are some things I got in the Zalando Singles’ Day sale. I picked up another shade of the MAC Colour Excess gel pencil eyeliners, and it’s called Blueberry Milk. I also bought another shade of the NABLA Close-Up Blurring powder blush, and it’s called Lucky Rose. Lastly, I got the The Library of Fragrance Pistachio Ice Cream Eau de Cologne, because I was curious about the brand and the scent, but it’s too artificial and cheap-smelling for my taste.

I made an order from Niche-Beauty, because they had a 25% off sale. I’ve been wanting to try Lisa Eldridge lip products for a long time, so I picked up the The Holiday Ribbon Kit, which included the True Velvet lip colour in Velvet Ribbon and the Enhance and Define lip pencil in Ribbon; such a pretty classic red shade. I also got the Lisa Eldridge Insanely Satuated lip colour in New Wave, which is a beautiful berry purple shade. Lastly from Niche-Beauty, I picked up the PHLUR Vanilla Skin body mist, which is a lovely scent.

Let’s move on to accessories, clothes, and shoes. I got these pearl jewellery and bow hair clip in a H&M sale. I’ve worn the pearl necklace quite often lately.

I also got this faux fur hat in the H&M sale.

I found this boucle style jacket at a charity second hand store, and I actually wore it yesterday.

I couldn’t wear this Christmas top from Next this past Christmas due to my baby bump, but I’m excited to wear it next Christmas.

I love a coloured tight, and I found these purple ones from the brand DIM on sale.

I knew I had to have these M&M’s Crocs from the moment I laid eyes on them. I love the green colour, the glitter, and the M&M Jibbitz, and I’m also quite fond of the style called Bae. And that’s the end of the haul, and what a piece to end with.

Only when pregnant

Posted on January 19, 2026 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s what I wore Thursday January 15. Just like I pretty much only wear very fitted dressed when I’m pregnant, I also only wear short shift dresses when I’m pregnant. I guess, I just like those types of dresses better with a baby bump.

A little more “subtle” green and pink

Challenging, but fun

Posted on January 17, 2026 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s what I wore Wednesday January 14. I find it a bit challenging to get dressed while being pregnant, but I think this outfit turned out really fun, and I would have definitely worn this look non-pregnant as well.

Monochromatic continuation

Posted on January 16, 2026 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Obviously, I had to continue with the monochromatic bordeaux/burgundy theme when it came to my make-up, and I think the look turned out very pretty.

All bordeaux

Posted on January 15, 2026 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s what I wore Thursday January 8. I rarely go this monochromatic with my looks, but I just thought that the knitted dress would look cute paired with all bordeaux/burgundy.

Asos sale haul (October 2025)

Posted on January 14, 2026 by Mucha-Lucha

I have an Asos sale haul to share with you today. It includes clothes, accessories, and beauty products. Let’s begin with the clothes.

I’m really into everything lime, olive, and khaki green at the moment, so I’ve been loving this cardigan from Asos Design. Here’s my most recent outfit with this cardigan.

I love an oversized T-shirt, and luckily, it’s a type of item that I can still wear with my baby bump. Both of these are from Asos Design, and I’m actually wearing the one with the cherries today. I wanted to show you the back of the Toy Story one, because it’s so cute.

I have a pair of black velvet trousers that I lived in after I had my first child, so I picked up this brown pair of velvet trousers from Asos Design to wear postpartum.

I picked up these two pairs of golden earrings from Asos Design. I’m excited to wear both pairs.

I got back-ups of three of my favourite products from e.l.f. Cosmetics; the Liquid Poreless Putty primer, the Power Grip primer + 4% Nyacinamide, and the Brow Lift in Clear. I need to start using all of these soon.

Lastly, I got two back-ups of the e.l.f. Skin Holy Hydration! face cream and two back-ups of the e.l.f. Skin Holy Hydration! eye cream. These are great, affordable skincare items.

Summery look in snowy winter

Black and white stripes

Posted on January 12, 2026 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s what I wore Wednesday January 7. It’s not often I wear an all black and white outfit, but I really liked the idea of pairing the different sizes of stripes together. I also liked the fun little pops of colour in the jumper, the boots, and the jewellery.
