Makeup Geek Cosmetics Haul!

Hey everyone!

So I finally got my Makeup Geek delivery earlier this week and was so happy with it :D I posted this photo on my Instagram (michellemc_mua) a couple of days ago and got such a good response I thought I would share what I got, what I think of the products and my overall experience with the brand.

 
Isn't the personalized thank you card so cute?!

The company ships internationally and so to Ireland, the delivery took about 3 to 4 weeks which is totally understandable. Delivery was about $16 but what I didn't expect was the added VAT fee that they collected upon delivery. I spent roughly $170 (I know, it's a sickness I can't help myself) and got charged a VAT of €30 which sucks BUT needless to say I got over it very quickly.


I got 14 eye shadows and 4 blushes so this is what the completed palette looks like now.

                                             With Flash

                                         Without Flash

I have to say I am 100% satisfied with the quality of these products. They're very pigmented and so easy to blend. Not to mention how gorgeous the colours are! They're almost the exact same as MAC eye shadows, the only difference being that they're literally half the price, and if you're converting into €'s you probably save even more. Either way it's a steal for such high end, great products!

Take a look at some of the swatches below and bare in mind, this is with only one swipe from the pan! It really shows you how pigmented these shadows and blushes are!

                                            L-R Peach Smoothie, Ice-Queen, Shimma Shimma

                                           L-R Burlesque, Bitten, Cupcake, Unexpected

                                       L-R Creme Brulee, Frappe, Cocoa Bear, Chickadee

                                      L-R Mango Tango, Envy, Corrupt.

That's all of the eye shadows that I got and can I just say, corrupt, the black shadow is probably the easiest of all the black eye shadows I've ever used to work with. Just putting that out there.

So finally, here are the blushes that I got.

                                                L-R Bliss, Romance, Summer Fling, Infatuation

One thing I want to mention is that in the pan, Bliss and Romance look very similar but honestly they are so different. Romance has a little bit of shimmer in it while Bliss is completely matte so its down to your personal preference, if you like shimmer or matte blushes as to which one is better to get.

As far as my favourite out of the lot goes, I cannot pick! They're all amazing and all worth getting if you're a total makeup junkie like me :)

I hope you enjoyed and if you are thinking of ordering off the website I hope this helps you with your decision making. :)
