Makeup Geek Haul

Those of you who have been following my blog for a while now, probably know how much I am obsessed with Makeup Geek eyeshadows. I used to order mine on the official Makeup Geek website, but since a couple of months they’re also available on Beautybay.com and I have been building up my collection ever since. About a week ago, Beautybay.com had an AMAZING deal on Makeup Geek products. They were all 50% off!! So you can imagine I went a little bit crazy. A lot of the shades I really wanted were sold-out, but I still managed to grab some gorgeous shadows. I also purchased the Makeup Geek Vault when it came back in stock after that sale, which is Makeup Geek’s version of a Z palette. If you want to see some swatches of the shades I grabbed, keep on reading!

The first item I grabbed during the sale was my first sparkler. I heard mixed reviews about these babies and everyone mentions how messy they are. That’s why I decided to pick it up during the sale, otherwise I would’ve never bought this. I picked up the shade Solstice, which is a gorgeous silvery mint green, of course with a lot of sparkle in it.

And indeed, these are so so so messy!! I think I lost 1/10 of the jar, just by opening it up. The jars are also way smaller than I imagined they would be, they’re so tiny! 
The sparklers are between a pigment and shimmer, but they’re super finely mild. I can’t wait to play around with this! 

I also purchased two duochrome eyeshadows. I already own one of these and I really love the formula and how they change color depending on the light.

❤ Secret Garden: a deep bright teal.
❤ Ritzy: a brown-reddish base with green and gold reflects.

Of course, I picked up two more foiled eyeshadows, because I simply adore how pigmented and gorgeous these are!

❤ Charmed: a muted silvery light olive with taupe undertones and a foiled finish.
❤ Daydreamer: a light lilac purple with cool undertones and a foiled finish.

I also decided to purchase some more of her regular eyeshadows, because these had been on my wish-list for a while now.

❤ Chickadee: a matte yellow orange.
❤ Hipster: a dark sand / light taupe tan with slight shimmer.
❤ Wild West: a rich rose brown with a matte finish (slightly dry and chalky).
❤ Time Travel: a deep teal with gray undertones and a matte finish. 

And lastly, I picked up the Makeup Geek Vault, which is an empty magnetic palette. It’s a lot more sturdy and durable than the Z palettes and I thought this would be perfect to travel with. I think this looks very elegant and luxurious, and I love how it has a huge mirror inside.

Makeup Geek Product Combinations That Fit:

  • 6 Eyeshadows and 2 Blushes / Contours
  • 8 Eyeshadows and 1 Blush / Contour
  • 10 Eyeshadows (if tightly fit – 9 is more presentable)
  • 4 Blushes / Contours

I’m super happy with my new Makeup Geek purchases and can’t wait to play around with all of these products! Did you pick anything up from the Makeup Geek sale??
