Makeup Geek Eyeshadows and Blush

Hey guys!!!

I'm sure most people know who is Marlena the creator of Makeup Geek, but if you don't know you need to get out from that rock your living in, get on YouTube, and watch. She came out with her own makeup brand. She only has eyeshadows, gel eyeliners, pigments, blushes, and brushes. I love that all her products are cruelty free, talc and paraben free, and they ship worldwide. You can only order Makeup Geek online and the eyeshadows can be either in pan form so you can put it in a Z-palette or in pot form.Now to show you what I have purchased so far:

When you get them in the mail they come like this. I purchased them in pan form so I can put them in a Z-palette.

Left to Right: (top row) Cosmopolitan, Creme Brulee, Mermaid, Razzleberry, Rockstar, and Shimma Shimma, (bottom row) Summer Fling, and Insomnia. 
I love that the name of every shade is on the back of the pan so you can never forget what the names are. I probably would if it didn't.


The eyeshadows are AMAZING! They are so smooth, very pigmented, AND easy to blend. What else could you ask for in an eyeshadow right? As for the blush she barely released them like a month ago and after trying out the shadows I HAD to get my hands on one blush at least. The blushes are the exact same quality as eyeshadows. It is AMAZING! The pigment I got I HAD to get because it is such a gorgeous color and I have heard that it is a dupe to a MAC pigment.  Now I will be talking about every individual shade.

Blush:
  • Summer Fling- I decided to get out of my comfort zone and get this beautiful soft burnt orange blush. I make sure to use a light hand with this blush and build it up slowly if I need to because if I don't it doesn't look good having bright orange cheeks haha. If you do ever have that happen you can always grab a kabuki brush and blend it out.

Pigment:
  • Insomnia- This pigment.....OMG this pigment is beautiful. The picture swatch that I took will NOT do it justice at all. I have heard that it is a dupe to MAC's blue brown pigment I can't say for sure since I don't own it personally. It is a beautiful dark chocolate brow duochrome with blue or blueish green reflects. Only thing you have to be careful when you open it because it can get messy. 
Eyeshadows:
  • Shimma Shimma- This is a very gorgeous champagne shimmery highlight color. I use it in my browbone, inner corner, and even sometimes all over my lid when I want a more toned down eye look. 
  • Creme Brulee- This color is a soft matte finish so it is a great transition shade I have only used this one in my crease. I will probably use it on my lid one day. 
  • Cosmopolitan- OMG once again one of my favorite shades. I don't think the swatch will do it justice. It is a rose gold with gold flecks and it is a shimmery finish. Sometimes this is all I wear on my eye. 
  • Mermaid- I love my blue eyeshadows and this one is no exception. It is a metallic teal with gold flecks in it and it looks beautiful all over the lid. I am not afraid color. 
  • Razzleberry- When i saw Jaclyn Hill use this shade I knew I had to have it. It is a raspberry pink with gold flecks in it. A lot of people are afraid to wear red on the lid, but I don't care. I would rock it any day and be proud haha. This color is a little hard to work with just because it is not as smooth as the rest, but I still love it. The color is still beautiful.
  • Rockstar- Another one of my favorite color since it is a really unique shade. It is a pale silver with purple and pink iridescence. I put this on my lid, creme brulee on the crease, eyeliner, and done. 

Left to Right: Cosmopolitan, Creme Brulee, Mermaid, Razzleberry, Rockstar, Shimma Shimma, Summer Fling, and Insomnia.
What I LOVE most about these products is that they are really affordable. They are compared to MAC quality and they are about half the price. Pigments are $6.99, eyeshadows in a pan are $5.99, and blushes in a pan are $9.99. Have you guys tried these products out?? What do you think of them?? I honestly want to get EVERYTHING from this line haha.

Whitening Lightning Color Your Smile Lighted Lip Gloss

Hey guys!!! Have you guys heard of  Jaclyn Hill ?? If not you have been missing out. She does the best make-up tutorials and recently she had a brush set with Sigma which I missed out on cause I couldn't afford it at the time. Then she announced she came out with her own lip gloss through Whitening Lightning and decided to go ahead and get this one even if it was a little pricey, but I saved up money for it. See how pigmented that color is?? This is the color Rose Hill and the website says it is a romantic and feminine hue. It is a beautiful rosy red color and I love it!! This gloss is amazing because first it has a mirror on the side. Just remember to remove the sticker that is on top of the mirror, but I haven't done that yet that's why it looks dirty on the picture. Secondly, when you open this gloss it lights up. So if you need to reapply when you are out and you don't have a mirror and/or you are in a dark place you are covered. Last but n

Pssssst! Instant Dry Shampoo

Hey guys!!! I love love love the Batiste Dry Shampoo , but before I traveled back in October I had ran out and I didn't have time to buy more. I went into a drugstore and the only thing I found was a Pssssst! Instant Dry Shampoo so I decided to go ahead and try it out.  I honestly do not like this dry shampoo, but I don't hate it. This dry shampoo will get the job done. It sucks up all the oils in your hair and it will stay like that till the next day. I hate the smell of it. To me it turns me off to a product if it doesn't smell good. Also a couple days ago I sprayed some in and someone told me that one side of my hair is white. This is definitely a product that you need to brush it out after a few minutes of applying it to your hair. The white cast that it leaves behind also turn me off to this product. Overall this is an okay dry shampoo. I will be going back to Batiste as soon as this is done haha. Have you guys tried this product?? What do you think??

88 Original Palette by Coastal Scents

Hey guys!!! When I first Started out with make up at 15 I got make up as birthday gifts that year. I was glad I didn't have to purchase any of it myself. Once I got a job a couple years later I wanted to get more and start experimenting with make up a little bit more. It was a low paying job so I was on a budget. I was looking for an affordable eyeshadow palette because I wanted to play around with colors on my eyes. I decided to purchase the Coastal Scents Original Palette:    I actually heard about this palette from my friend Nikki also known as Nix92585 on YouTube.* She was talking about it on her Facebook and I thought "that's a pretty palette" so I decided to go check it out on the website. I love that everything on there is very affordable and I have had this palette for a couple years now and I barely hit pan on one color. It lasts you a long time for such a reasonable price.  Here are swatches:  As you can see these color
