Makeup Geek Eye Shadow Pans

Based in the United States, Makeup Geek Eye Shadows are a popular product among makeup artists and YouTubers and are known for their high quality and low prices. Now available in the UK through the Beauty Bay website, I purchased 9 shades that I frequently see used in makeup tutorials online and created a custom Z Palette (sold separately) and I chose the small leopard print one.
I wanted to get quite neutral tones because no matter how much these shadows are hyped up, there was always a chance I wouldn't like them but these are great for everyday wear but I mainly got them to help with blending and transitioning shades in my eye makeup.
Vanilla Bean
Light Shimmer with a peach beige undertone
 
Shimma Shimma 
Metallic champagne
 
 Peach Smoothie
A light matte peach shade
 
 Crème Brulee
Medium sand colour
 
 Frappe
Medium maple brown matte
 
 Cocoa Bear
Matte reddish brown
 
Mocha
A deep rich matte brown
 
 Bitten
Matte deep maroon red
 
 Corrupt
Intense matte black with a subtle sparkle
 
Each shade is highly pigmented with a nice, soft texture and no fallout. Application is super easy and they blend into each other effortlessly. They are long lasting and I cannot fault these at all. I really love this little custom palette and I really want to try some more of the other shades that they have and there are so many to choose from as well.
From left to right: Vanilla Bean, Shimma Shimma, Peach Smoothie, Crème Brulee, Frappe, Cocoa Bear, Mocha, Bitten and Corrupt.
The thing that I like most about these is that they are completely portable and versatile. You can use a small Z palette to take away up to 9 shades with you when you go out and about or travelling and you can swap shades over depending on your outfit or occasion. Removing and placing the pans inside the palette is so easy as they are all magnetic so easy stick securely to the palette but can be removed just as effortlessly.
 
The small Z Palette retails at £8.95 and they have different sizes and patterns so you can choose one that reflects your personality. They are also available from Beauty Bay.
 
Have you tried Makeup Geek Eye Shadows? Which one is your favourite shade? I really love Bitten and Cocoa Bear.

How To: Apply False Nails

Image
Hey guys Today I thought of doing a quick post today. Today I wanted to do a 'How To' post and this one is Applying False Nails. Even though it's easy, you need to do it properly so they look as natural as possible. And I'm going to tell you how I apply my false nails. You need: False Nails (you can get them cheap in supermarkets, makeup stores etc) Nail Glue (most nails come with glue, but you can buy glue at Superdrug for around £4 ( www.superdrug.co.uk ) Cuticle Pusher or cuticle stick Nail scissors (curved work best) Emery board 1) Begin by selecting the false nails that best fit your natural nail. It needs to be accurate because it will look more realistic. 2) Use a cuticle stick/pusher and gently push your cuticles back to avoid the nail sticking to it (which, will hurt if you take them off!!) If you want, you can cut the cuticles off. 3) Apply nail glue all over the natural nail. Be careful with the glue - it bonds in seconds, difficult to remove

MUA Cosmetics Review

Hey everyone Last week for my birthday, I went shopping and while I was in Superdrug and I  picked up some things from MUA (Makeup Academy). There are some products here I haven't tried, one product I have but not this particular name. I actually fell in love with this brand when it was a very small company when everything was £1! Then the company expanded which made me very happy and so I tried   these products and I have mixed reviews. The first product I am reviewing is the BB Cream. This is £4 in the MUA online store ( www.muastore.co.uk ) or in Superdrug ( www.superdrug.com ). I wanted a BB Cream because I find foundation is too heavy and is bad for your skin and I started to go off tinted moisturizer. Anyway, for the price in general is OK for the product. I bought Shade Medium last week and I think this is a bit too dark for me even though the medium and light shade are very similar. The BB Cream is easy to blend. For me, this is going to be mixed with something light
