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.

Rose and Ben Beauty Brushes

 Hey guys!! I haven't done a beauty post in a while and I was in the mood to do one because I am very excited to talk about these! I started follow Rose on IG roseandben  thanks to my friend and I have been loving her content. You can see the passion she has for makeup. I love that she posts on IG stories almost everyday doing a tutorial or talking about her fav products.  I have actually purchased and few of her recommendations and 99% of the products I have bought have become staples in my collection.  When she announced she was coming out with a brand  Rose and Ben Beauty  I just knew it would be brushes because she would always be using prototypes in her tutorials. I trusted her judgment in products soooo I bought most of the collection.  Aren't these brushes beautiful?? When I first got the brushes I felt the bristles and they were so soft. The quality of the bristles and even the handles feels so luxurious. I love the color of the handles too. I only started following her

What Are AHA's??

 Hey guys!!! AHA's(Alpha Hydroxy Acids) is water-soluble, exfoliates dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, reveals healthy looking skin, and it is suitable for all skin types. It helps stimulate collagen, hydrates the skin, brightens the skin, helps lessen skin texture, helps with acne scars, signs of sun damage, and dark spots. There are different types of AHA's out there.  Glycolic Acid Glycolic acid is the most well known and is used in skin care and is also used by a professional in a chemical peel.  It is either used alone in a skincare product or combined with another AHA ingredients at concentrations of 5% and up.

What are BHA's??

 Hey guys!!! The other day I spoke about AHA's and the different types of AHA's and now it is BHA's.  BHA's(Beta Hydroxy Acids) can get deeper into the pores to remove dead skin cells and excess sebum. It is oil-soluble so it allows it to penetrate deep into the pores and gently breaks up blockages that clogs your pores. That will help with lessening your acne and less visible pores. If you have blackheads, on your nose especially, it can help getting rid of them without damaging your skin like the Biore pore strips do. Also prevents new ones from forming. It could also help with Keratosis Pilaris(KP) in body washes or even body lotions/butters. BHA's are good for all skin types, but especially oily, acne prone skin. Salicylic Acid Salicylic Acid is the most well known out of all of them. It helps reduce acne by exfoliating the skin and keeping the pores clear. It helps with mild acne, blackheads and whiteheads, can help prevent future breakouts.  Tropic Acid, Tret
