Make Up Geek Cosmetics

I love Marlena's (of blog, Simply Marlena) tutorials. Informative, fun to watch and easy to follow. She is also CEO of Makeup Geek an awesome website that is not only a store, but is described as a cosmetic education website. There are tutorials, reviews, a forum and much more, including selected NYX, MAC, Ben Nye and Sugarpill products. What I really wanted to try was Makeup Geek's own line of cosmetics. On offer from this line include eyeshadows, gel liners, lipsticks and brushes. I decided on just a few eyeshadow pans for starters. 


PREPPY: *Neutral matte.


CUPCAKE: *Matte medium pink.


CINDERELLA: *Shimmery nude pink.


TAUPE NOTCH: *Taupe shimmer.


COUNTRY GIRL: *Pinky brown shimmer.


COCOA BEAR: *Reddish brown.



I went for quite a simple look, as this was the reason for the colour selection that I had chosen,  colours that can be worn everyday. I used Cupcake on my lid, Preppy is under my brow and I applied Cocoa Bear in my crease.

 Where do I store these eyeshadow pans? In this cute pencil tin


A couple of strips of magnetic tape, and hey presto, a simple pencil tin becomes a cute palette!(the 2 larger pans are shadows that I picked up on clearance price at Priceline) 

 I love how easy these eyeshadows are to work with. Very blendable and buildable. I would really like to try the Makeup Geek gel liners, and if I need to try them, I'm sure some more eyeshadows will fall into my "shopping cart" too ;)

    I love my MUG shadows. I have five palettes of them. I was lucky enough to pick up some of the pre production cream MUG shadows too.

    The gel liners are really nice. I have four of (fame, electric, twinkle and rave). I love them and will be back to buy more.

    The MUG makeup brushes are nice too - good quality for the price.

    Well, I don't need any more encouragement than that to order again from MUG. Thanks for your comment, Kellie :)

Simple Hydrating Cleansing Oil

Image
I bought this Simple Hydrating Cleansing oil, actually 3 of them during a sale that Chemist Warehouse was having some time ago. Now I had been content using a mix of coconut and olive oil as a makeup remover, but I'd read such good things about this cleansing oil and I really wanted to try it for myself. Of course a 50% off sale at Chemist Warehouse at an already affordable price had me quick to order. Taken from Simple Skincare - "...our rinse off cleansing oil is made with 100%  pure grapeseed oil, which is light in texture and infused with skin loving ingredients such as vitamins A and E that leaves all skin types thoroughly cleansed, instantly hydrated and soft." The cleansing oil comes in a 125 ml plastic bottle with flip-top lid dispenser. I love the green theme on the packaging. The oil has a fresh slightly herbal scent. Being mostly grapeseed oil, this product is an oil of thin consistency. To apply, I simply massage a small amount into my skin, addi

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design.
