MakeupGeek Foiled Eyeshadows

Hey guys!!!

I have had these eyeshadows for a while now and I had been playing with them for a while. I am loving every single one of them. These eyeshadows are from the first 10 she released and I want more because they are that amazing!

A few things I will warn you about these is that if it shatters and falls on your carpet you will get the biggest stain ever! These shadows are oil based if I remember correctly and that made it harder to clean. Lastly, because they are oil based they will crease if you don't prime your eyes.

I like to apply an eye primer, base, and set everything with powder or a skin tone shadow before applying these shadows on. Well for me its everyday, but for those who don't do that everyday just make sure you do when you wear these.

I have 5 shades as you can see and these were the ones that caught my attention the most out of the first 10 shades. Out of the 5 only two of them I still have to spray my brush to make it as intense as I want it. They can be applied with a brush or your finger. 

These shadows are very pigmented and most of them were just one swipe only two of them needed two swipes. I love the metallic finish these shadows give. 
  1. Center Stage- This is a gorgeous royal blue and I love using this with a black base to make it a dark blue smokey eye. This one is one of the ones I have to spray my brush, but I don't mind. The end result is gorgeous and I love it. 
  2. Caitlin Rose- This is a pretty bright purple and it is the second shade that I need to spray my brush with. The biggest reason why I bought this one was that when you buy this shade all of the proceeds go to a Batten Disease Support and Research Association. I love using this on the lid or even on my lower lash line for a pop of purple.
  3. Houdini- This is a unique shade and I didn't have anything like this in my collection so I was happy to get this one. It is described on the website as a deep emerald teal green. I love to use this to do a smokey eye. 
  4. Jester- This is another unique color and out of all of them this one creases the most if you don't prime. It is described as bright mossy green with gold undertones on the website. This is another that I will use on the lid and lower lash line. 
Overall I love these shadows and I will continue to repurchase and purchase Makeup Geek product because they're amazing quality for an affordable price. I will probably get more later on because I can't help myself. I am anxiously waiting for all the new products she has coming out soon. Her products are always Talc free and Paraben free so it is good for people with sensitive skin.

Have you guys tried these foiled shadows?? If so, which one are your favorite??

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 ...

Battle of the Eye Primers

Hey guys!! I have oily eyelids and I struggled when I was younger with my eyeshadows and eyeliner creasing. At the time I never understood why. I went into sephora a couple years ago with my best friend and asked "how can I stop that from happening?" That's when I was introduced to eye primers. My first ever eye primer was the Too Faced Shadow Insurance. I have been testing out 6 different eyelid primers and out of the six only two did not work for me. I decided to do this blog for the people that have that same issue as me and to show you guys what options there are out there in the make up world from drugstore to high end.   I tried the ELF Eyelid Primer, Rimmel Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer, Mary Kay eye primer, Urban Decay Primer Potion, Too Faced Shadow Isurance, and BareMinerals Prime Time Primer. I'm going to start off with the one that was the worst one out of all of these. It was the Rimmel Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer. $4.99 ...

Aveeno ultra calming makeup removing wipes

Hey guys!!! I received the Aveeno makeup remover wipes as a gift! Finally I was able to stop using the horrible wipes that I was using before!! These wipes are amazing! They smell so good and everytime I take one out I have to smell it before I use it on my face. They are very moist and they remove most of my face and eye makeup. I always go with a cotton round with another makeup remover no matter which wipes I use just to make sure everything is off. I don't know if they remove waterproof mascara since I am not using one at the moment. Most IMPORTANTLY it did NOT break me out!  I looked online on walmart to see how much it was and it is around $7. I probably will purchase this myself later on down the line.
