FEBRUARY FAVOURITES INC MAKEUP GEEK, MORPHE BRUSHES & MORE.

 FEBRUARY FAVOURITES

Z Palette - Beauty Bay - £15.00
I decided to purchase the oh so famous Z Palette from Beauty Bay as I was running out of places to store my Makeup Geek eyeshadows and it was driving me mad keeping them in the little cardboard pouches. I decided to go for the black Z Palette as you may already know it's one of my favourite colours. The Z palette came with around 10 circular magnets and 10 square, which was great. Quick tip: make sure you have a permanent marker with you when you're creating your Z Palette as you can write the eyeshadow shades on the back of the magnets so you don't forget the names or what you're using.

Makeup Geek Eyeshadows  - Beauty Bay - £4.95 each

Ok so I've clearly started adding to my Makeup Geek collection and boy do I love this brand when it comes to their eyeshadows. The Makeup Geek eyeshadows are highly addictive and I want them all!  I just love how highly pigmented they're and how buttery the shadows are to blend out and work with. These are now my favourite eyeshadows to use for everyday use or special occasions. I can't wait to add even more to my collection. The last time I showed you any of these eyeshadows I only had a few, which you read all about just here. Also I don't know why Frappe and Cocoa Bear look so similar in the swatches above.

Vanilla Bean - Vanilla Bean is a gorgeous vanilla shade that has a peachy/beige undertone. This eyeshadow has a matte finish with a hint of sheen to it. I think this eyeshadow works well as a base when you apply all over the lid/eye area as a starting point for any eye look.

Peach Smoothie - This is a gorgeous light peach shade with a matte finish. I find that this eyeshadow works great as a transition shade. Although I have noticed more fallout with this eyeshadow than any of the others that I own. I love using this to correct any in corrections with darker shades in the crease.

Mocha - This is the best brown eyeshadow I've ever owned. Mocha is a deep, rich brown shade that has a matte finish. This eyeshadow looks amazing in the outer v when doing a neutral smokey eye.

Corrupt - When I first swatched this shadow I thought wow this really is black black! It might sound dumb, but theres a lot of black shadows out there that have grey/ashy undertones to them and it easily puts me off using blacks in any of my eye looks, not this one! This is the most gorgeous matte black eyeshadow with the slightest hint of sparkle.

Morphe Makeup Brushes - Beauty Bay

MB11 Angle Liner Brush - Beauty Bay £2.50 - When I first received this brush I was quite shocked at just how big it was, I was expecting something teeny, but as you can see in the photos above it's not really that small. This brush is definitely not one for a super fine line, but it is great for apply eyeshadow as a liner and I've been loving this one for my brows.

M330 Blending Crease Brush - Beauty Bay £4.75 - This is one of the best blending brushes I've ever owned. It is the perfect shape for the crease of my eye, super soft. The tapered point really helps to get that eyeshadow into the crease of the eye. When blending out those transition shades.

M422 Cresent Shadow Brush - Beauty Bay £3.25 - This brush is my new favourite brush for applying product to the lid. The density of the brush makes it easy to pack eyeshadows on the lid.

Real Techniques Beauty Blender - Boots - £5.99
I was desperate for a new beauty blender and after watching so many people use this one in their YouTube videos I had to give it a go. Now I haven't applied my foundation with a beauty blender for quite some time and I'd forgot just how great they were. The Real Techniques beauty blender is so soft and squidgy and leaves your makeup looking flawless. I use mine with liquid foundation and liquid concealer. I also found this beauty blender easy to clean unlike the other ones I've tried before that just ended up going in the bin.

L'Oreal False Lash Sculpt Mascara - Boots - £9.99
If you read my previous post you'll know just how much I loved this mascara. To read more about this mascara | click here. After I purchased this product I went home, removed my make up and tried it out. I was amazed right away. The comb is the perfect fit for the eye and it really does get to the root of the lashes. It must have taken me about 30 seconds/1 minute to apply one layer of mascara and to feel truly happy with the outcome of the lashes. How quick and ideal is that for when you're in a rush first thing in a morning?

MAKEUP GEEK EYESHADOWS; SHIMMA SHIMMA, FRAPPE, COCOA BEAR, BITTEN & BURLESQUE.

Makeup Geek is an American make up brand owned by one of the famous YouTubers' Marlena | you can follow her channel here.. On her YouTube channel she often shares videos of make up loos she's created, tutorials on how to blend eyeshadows, sneak peaks at the new products and a lot more. She seems like such a lovely lady and a very successful one at that. When I found out that BeautyBay was stocking their products I was over the moon and couldn't wait to purchase some of their eyeshadows. Although I did have to wait a few weeks for them to come back in stock as they sold out so quickly. BeautyBay restock the Makeup Geek products every couple of weeks, so you have to be quick when they get restocked. I was like a kid at Christmas waiting for these to be delivered as they've been raved about so much on YouTube and are often compared to the Mac Cosmetics eyeshadows. These eyeshadows are out of this world and I can't believe the quality of them for the price. Each of these eyeshadows are just £4.95 a shadow and they come in pan form. 

SHIMMA SHIMMA

Shimma Shimma is described as a metallic champagne and it certainly is. I've been applying this one to the inner corner of my eye (without irritation) and it looks great when used as a highlighter on the rest of the face too. This is one of my favourite eyeshadows that I've purchased and it's taken over my last favourite, which was Mac - Nylon. This eyeshadow is super pigmented and so buttery. There's nothing worse than chalky eyeshadows. 

FRAPPE

Frappe is a matte warm medium brown shade that is a beautiful for an everyday transition shade. I really like this shade. The pigmentation is good and the product is creamy, but it's no Cocoa Bear. Although they look quite alike in the swatches above, Frappe is a lot lighter than Cocoa Bear and you do have to layer this one up for a more intense colour pay off. I like to use Frappe in the crease of the eye and then I go in with Cocoa Bear.

COCOA BEAR

Cocoa Bear is a matte warm toned red brown. This is my all favourite out of the eyeshadows that I bought. I like to use Cocoa Bear as a transition shade when I want to do a smokey eye or give them that extra definition to make the eyes look more intense and warm them up a little. This eyeshadow is again very pigmented and creamy, such good quality for the money. Cocoa Bear was so hard to get hold of, it went out of stock twice before I could order it! It's just one of those must have eyeshadows, I honestly don't know what I'd do without it now.

BITTEN

Bitten is a matte brown red shade so if you're looking for the perfect matte burgundy eyeshadow?! Look no further! You will love and need this one within your eyeshadow palette. Bitten has great colour pay off and it is the perfect shade for fall. I've fallen in love with the colour of this one so much. I can't wait to create a a vampy eye with this one. This one was also hard to get hold of so if it's in stock go, go, go!

BURLESQUE

Burlesque is very similar in colour to Bitten, although it is a little darker. Is more of a purple, burgundy, brown? And it has a satin/metallic finish. This shade is going to get used a hell of a lot throughout the Christmas period. Can I rock a dark smokey eye all day err'day? This looks gorgeous all over the lid paired with a nice matte black to create a gorgeous smokey eye, don't forget to add some winged liner though. You can see just how pigmented it is on the swatch above, in fact you can see just how great they all are.

I can't wait to create an eye look for you with some of these eyeshadows and I've already got a list of other eyeshadow shades that I want to purchase from MUG. They do a great black called Corrupt that appears to be the darkest black matte shadow I've ever seen. I can't wait to purchase some more already!

Also if you wish to use these in your Mac Cosmetics palette you'll need to purchase some magnets, you can get them really cheap off eBay or Amazon.
