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 ...

Home Chef

Hey guys!!! Do you guys ever struggle to figure out what to make for dinner everyday?? Do you guys want to change it up every once in a while and try something new??  That was me a few months back and I ran across Home Chef in a YouTube video and I clicked on the link she had and I tried it out! They make it really easy for you! They send a a binder so you can use it to put all the new recipes that you receive for future usage. You go online to your account and they have about 15 different meals for you to choose from. You can either order for 2 servings or 4 servings. Also you can customize your account if you are vegetarian or have any allergies so they will not show you the meals that you are unable to eat. Each meal doesn't take long to do. It can take you about 30 minutes for you to do each meal. This was one of the first meals I made: Crispy BBQ Tofu The ingredients for each recipe comes in separate bags and are organized. Each ingredient is por...

Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer

Hey guys!!! I never ever ever ever used a bronzer or even knew what it was for till of course I started watching YouTube beauty videos. Thanks to my good friend Merlin for giving me a gift card to Sephora I was able to purchase this little sample set. I am going to do separate reviews for each product and I have already done one for the  Shadow Insurance Primer  and the others will be coming soon. Today as you already know I will be talking about the bronzer. I was excited to FINALLY try this since it's really raved about on YouTube. I am always grabbing this and smelling it a lot whenever I am at home haha. It is made out of cocoa powder and it smells like chocolate!!! MMMM!! They only have two shades and I got the shade Medium/Deep. Here's the swatch: I recently tried a shimmery bronzer and this one and I gotta say I prefer a matte bronzer the best! I only bronze my face with this since I suck at contouring and I don't think I have the right brush for co...
