A Few Looks

Hi all. Long time no blog. Here are a few looks I've done over the past few weeks. Haven't worn much makeup in the past month, but here are a few that I've done. I haven't been in a makeup mood lately. Long story short; my husband and I are getting a divorce. But anyway. It's for the best and now I can move on with my life. Here are the looks I have done. I don't know if I remember all of the products or not, but I'll post what I can remember.

Makeupgeek Eyeshadow Review + Look (Pic Chunky)

I received my makeupgeek eyeshadows that I ordered. I have read a lot of good reviews about them, but why wouldn't they be good? Marlena is amazing! I am happy to support her. Anyway, I ordered seven of the shadows. I went for more colors than I did neutrals. I have a TON of neutrals that include the 28 neutral palette, the Naked palette, and 1.5 MAC palettes full of neutrals. So, without further ado, here are the makeupgeek shadows.

They come in little sleeves like the MAC pan refills

Vanilla Bean

Cocoa Bear

Dirty Martini

Fairytale

Wisteria

Poolside

Peacock

Top: Vanilla Bean, Cocoa Bear, Wisteria
Bottom: Fairytale, Poolside, Peacock, Dirty Martini

My Thoughts:
The feel of these shadows are amazing. They are so soft and feel like velvet. The swatches were 2 swipes on the shadows. Cocoa Bear wasn't as pigmented as I expected, but the rest were. These are the same size as a MAC eyeshadow and cost much less! You can get a MAC refill for $11 USD and these are $5.99 a piece. In my opinion they are worth it. I have never had a shadow that was as silky as these are. Look how pigmented Poolside and Peacock are! Um. Gorgeous. Will I buy again? Most definitely. I will be buying a lot more of these! If you are looking for a cheap alternative to MAC eyeshadows that have the same, if not more, pigmentation then check out makeupgeek's. You will not be disappointed. Now, on to the look.

Upcoming: Sneek Peek!

I have quite a bit of homework to do (a paper) yuck! I was hoping I would have enough time to play with my new goodies today, but I didn't. I may play around tonight. Anyway, this post is just a sneek peek of two purchases I made recently. I will have a review/swatches and a look for both purchases. Also, I'm still waiting for my indie pigment order to arrive so I can start my tropical bird series. Here's a sneek peek of what I'll be reviewing, swatching, and doing looks for....

Yes, that is the Sugarpill Burning Heart quad!

The new Makeup Geek eyeshadows!

I know there are a million reviews/swatches for the Sugarpill Burning Heart quad, but I'm going to add to it. I've been wanting this quad FOREVER, but it has always been out of stock. I finally got it! I'm also excited about the makeup geek eyeshadows. I've heard good things about them, and I can't wait to try out the colors I got; especially the matte olive green aka Dirty Martini. It is gorgeous! Looks, reviews, and swatches will be up soon! I hope everyone has a fantabulous weekend! <3<3
