It’s that time of the month again ! This month I have some new products that I have discovered, that have quickly made it to holy grail status ! Also I have things that I’ve rediscovered, which I always enjoy doing, because it means SPENDING LESS !

1. ColourPop Lippie Stix : At the end of January, I discovered ColourPop Lippie stix, and have been obsessed with them ever since. Although I did order some darker colours as well, this month I’ve mostly been religiously using the more neutral colours ! Specifically Brink and Lumiere ! These Lippie Stix have amazing pigmentation, and a really beautiful semi-matte finish. I’m definitely going to be ordering more when I have the budget for it !

2. Nude Lipliners : Along with my nude Lippie Stix love, I’ve also been obsessed with nude lip liners all of February. I find that they’re super versatile because you could wear them under matching nude lipsticks, or under darker or brighter lips to tone down the look or change the colour altogether. The two that I’ve been loving are the Brink Lippie pencil from Colourpop, and Rimmel’s Exaggerate lipliner in Addiction.

3. Round Kabuki Foundation Brush : I know last month I was adoring the Flat Top Kabuki brush from this brush set for my foundation, but I’ve changed my tune and started using the Round Kabuki brush from the same set. This one is more similar to the Real Techniques Buffing Brush. As much as I loved the flat kabuki for really patting my foundation into my skin, this brush can do this same patting and buffing motion, but seems to be a little bit smaller so that I could use it to blend in my concealer as well ! I haven’t really been wearing much make up this month just because I’ve been sick for about 3 weeks now, so I’ve been really loving the efficiency this brush has been giving me.

4. Real Techniques Contour Brush : My first rediscovery for the month of February! There was a period of time where I started to use this brush for other things (blending in concealer, applying cheek highlight, applying a setting powder under the eyes..) but I’ve finally gone back to my roots and started using this to contour my cheeks again. I’ve just found that I like other brushes or tools for my under eye a little bit better, so I decided to try to use this for contouring again ! I’ve also recently been liking a more precise contour, which this is really great for !

5. Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer : Another rediscovery ! I went back to this concealer because it was at it’s last couple of squeezes, so I wanted to finish it up, but I’ve actually been loving it ! It works well for when I don’t want to use foundation, and just need some cover up for my under eye, but it also looks great on top of a full face of foundation as well ! I might actually have to go and re-purchase it once I’m finished with it.

6. Mask of Magnaminty : Sorry about the distorted lid in the photo ): WARNING GUYS : don’t leave Lush tubs in direct sunlight because they will distort and melt ! So, I started using this about a month ago, and I actually have a full review on this (which I shall link right here) so I don’t want to ramble on too much about it. But let me just say that this has been doing wonders for my skin ! READ THE REVIEW !

7. Grease Lightening : Another wonder product for my adult acne, this is officially my new holy grail spot treatment ! What’s great about Lush’s products is, since it is all natural ingredients, it doesn’t just temporarily get rid of spots, but it actually helps your spots heal properly ! I really have been seeing great results from this spot treatment, and will probably write up a full review about it soon !

8. Makeup Geek Eyeshadows : OHMYLORD. THESE EYESHADOWS <3. I totally understand why all the youtubers I watch now swear by these eyeshadows because DAAAAMN they are great. My favourites this month have been Peach Smoothie (DUH), Frappe, and Cocoa Bear. Ever since I’ve purchased these eyeshadows, I haven’t even been using my MAC shadows AT ALL. NOT EVEN SOFT BROWN. These were honestly life changing.

9. Fitbit Flex : I’ve also got a review for this coming up soon, but I’ve been loving my Fitbit Flex all through February ! It’s pretty much been on my wrist all month long (minus when I’m in the shower) and it’s been super cool to be able to track my progress with walking !

What products have you been loving in the month of February? Any that I need to try out immediately? Let me know !!

More soon lovers <3

MY MAKEUP GEEK EYESHADOWS ARRIVED. GAH. I’ve been waiting so long to try these babies out, especially hearing pretty much ALL of my favourite Youtubers rave about them. SOOOO I finally decided to order them !

Now don’t get me wrong, these are super affordable. That isn’t the reason I held out on them. It was more so because I have a very long wish-list, and it took me a while to get down to these. But I regret those months that I lost, buying other shit. Because these babies are fan-freaking-tastic.

With Makeup Geek, I pretty much went ahead and picked out the shades that I’ve heard are the most loved and most popular. So what if they’re all super neutral, and my friends all think I’m crazy because they look super similar. They look different to me, and I use them all for different purposes so fuck em’. I love them.

Let me just start out by saying that the quality of these eyeshadows are unreal. They are so comparable to MAC eyeshadows. Creamy, pigmented, and a pretty large variety of colours. They are sold for $5.99 each, which just blows me away considering MAC is pretty much double the price, yet the quality is on par with each other. Definitely going to be purchasing more eyeshadows from them. The only downfall with Makeup Geek eyeshadows is that you can’t swatch the colours yourself, since they are only selling online right now.

Okay now actually onto their shadows.

1. Creme Brulee – A medium sand color with a soft matte finish

Similar to MAC’s soft brown, but a little more tan than Soft Brown. Great transitional shade.

2. Peach Smoothie – A light peach beige with a soft matte finish

HOLY. GRAIL. I totally understand why people love Peach Smoothie now. It makes a great transitional shade. It’s dark enough to show up on your skin so you can set a guide line to where you want the rest of your eyeshadows to be or end, yet it’s light enough that it doesn’t add anything extra to the look. Just helps blend it all together.

3. Beaches and Cream – Creamy Matte Natural Beige with Just A Hint of Peach

Beaches and Cream turned out to be lighter than I imagined it, but I still enjoy it a lot. I will use this to blend out the edges of Peach Smoothie at the very end just to make sure there are no harsh lines WHATSOEVER. It’s also light enough to be a matte all over the lid colour as well.

4. Cocoa Bear – Matte reddish brown

OH. MY. LORD. This colour is so freakin’ beautiful. Just LOOK at the swatch below… LOOK AT IT. Matte colours never swatch that beautifully, but oh my lord it is so creamy and fantastic. It’s also pretty much my favourite brown now EVER. I love how warm and irresistible it is.

5. Frappe – Medium maple brown matte

I love Frappe as well but I’m not gunna lie, it just isn’t as beautiful as Cocoa Bear. However, I use Frappe hand in hand with Cocoa Bear. I like apply Frappe into my outer V and crease first and blending that in, before I go in with Cocoa Bear. I just find that when I slowly layer on the shades like that, it just makes blending THAT much easier.

All of these eyeshadows are so unbelievably creamy and buttery and pigmented, as you can probably tell from the swatches below. UNF. I cannot get enough. I will probably buy more in the future, but for now, honestly these are all the shades that I need. Plus I have a few other things I want to spend my money on first.

Hope this was a helpful little post. If you haven’t heard of or checked out Makeup Geek eyeshadows before, definitely go take a gander. They are definitely very comparable to even MAC shadows, yet only costs about half of what MAC charges.

Oh yeah, and if you were wondering, they don’t actually fit into the MAC palettes as well as the MAC shadows themselves do (obviously). The Makeup Geek eyeshadows are the same size as the Coastal Scents eyeshadows. They’re exactly the size of the palette holes, which means I really have to wedge them in there. But since they do wedge in there, it holds the eyeshadows and makes sure it doesn’t fall out, so I’m fine with it. Makeup Geek also sells Z Palettes on their website for those of you who want to customize their own palettes.

Love y’all ,

So this is the first look I’m creating with my Makeup Geek eyeshadows. I’ve always loved warm colours, so these shadows, and this look, are pretty much what my signature look would look like.

I’m so glad I finally decided to pick up the infamous Makeup Geek eyeshadows. After hearing countless different beauty gurus talk about them, I finally had a little extra cash to spend, and voila ! Here I am, with 5 new gorgeous eyeshadows to play with.

I’ve also been pretty consistent with wearing falsies lately. I used to wear them everyday, but I stopped for a solid 2-3 years or so, just because I felt like it was too heavy for everyday. However, as I’ve started to make videos more consistently, as well as just wear a full face of make up more often, I just don’t feel right sometimes, leaving the house without them. I’m getting through my collection pretty quickly though, might need to order some new ones soon. Most of the falsies I own currently are ones that I bought while I was in China, so I don’t really want to be recommending them to you because I’m honestly not sure where you can purchase them here. BUT when I actually do start restocking my collection (probably from Ebay) I will be sure to review all of the ones I purchase for you guys.

I’ve put the video tutorial I made for this look down below, as per usual, so if you’re interested in how I achieved this look with my new Makeup Geek eyeshadows than go and check that out ! Also, if you want to find out more about Makeup Geek eyeshadows and the shades that I picked up, along with swatches and everything, check out the post I wrote about it here.

More soon,
