Review - MakeupGeek Eyeshadows

Hi babes,
By now you'd probably all have heard about Make-upGeek. She has a Youtube-channel and her own make-up line. It has been out for a while but it isn't all that easily available here in Belgium. I finally (praise the lord) managed to find a website that ships to Belgium so I've made an order quite awhile ago to try some of the MakeupGeek eyeshadows. I've heard a lot of good things about them and was very excited to try them out. I've started out by buying my first Z palette and 8 basic shadows of my liking.

Purchases 
- Peach Smoothie
- Frappe
- Cocoa Bear
- Grand stand (foiled shadow)
- Dirty Martini
- Enchanted Forest
- Burlesque'
- Corrupt

Review
Well to be quite honest, I am completely amazed. These shadows are one by one exquisite. The only 'bad' thing I can say about this is that the foiled shadow came broken. When I turned it upside down the shadow all fell out of the tin even though everything looked fine. There is obviously nothing MakeupGeek could have done about this is was packaged with care but shadow tends to be fragile. Luckily I could press the shadow back into the tin without any real trouble.

I especially wanted to buy a few warm shades because I tend to buy cooler shades because of the pink undertones of my skin but I was becoming so sick of those. After watching nearly every Jaclyn Hill tutorial she got me excited to wear colour and more warm tones so I watched every one of her MakeupGeek recommendation videos and made my pick.

I went for shades I definitely lacked in my collection and some basics to try the brand for the first time. I went for a few warm transition shades like 'Peach Smoothie' and 'Frappe'. I got 'Cocoa bear' because who doesn't need a warm brown to put in the outer corner. I got 'Grandstand' which is an amazing glittery shade that is warm and bronze. After searching high and low for a great khaki shade I've settled for 'Dirty Martini' and 'Enchanted Forest' to finish that look off. Both are amazing and don't swatch as great as they are in person. I've never liked green eyeshadow more. I also love a good shimmery burgundy which I found in 'Burlesque'. To finish things off I got a great black shadow which is more pigmented than I've ever seen in a black eyeshadow.

After trying these shadows over and over I'm swept of my feet and will buy many more as soon as I can. Maybe some blues or turquoise? A darker brown? other fun colours? I honestly just want them all.

Overall
Not all these pictures are true to colour. Especially 'Cocoa Bear' doesn't seem quite right. The shadows are amazing. Definitely worth recommending. The shadows are as you probably know pretty cheap at 6.20 euros per pan. I ordered them from beautybay. I didn't have to pay any customs but that could be a coincidence.

From top to bottom, left to right these are the same as listed above. They are listed light to dark.

Have you tried the MakeupGeek brand before? Do you have any recommendations? 

Goodbyeeeee

Where I've been - Borgloon, the sequel

Hi babes, 

I promised a sequel and whether you like it or not you're getting one ^^. 

My weekends are going to be a lot less fun by now. It's coming to that time of year where I should finish my paper and should have started studying for exams. I really don't want to and plan to procrastinate like every year so please pray for me. I need all the help I can get. 

Please tell me below what you like to do in the weekends. I'd love to get some ideas.

   

Goodbyeeeee

Where I've been - Borgloon

Hi babes, 

Last weekend I went on a walk with a few of my best friends. We usually don't do this kind of thing; We are more of the lazy, go-out-an-eat- kind of girls. We wanted to do something a little more active for a change and went on a walking route in a small town close to home. We live in the country so there are plenty of walking tours you can take when you're bored with lots of things to see on the way. 

Top of the list in Borgloon (the town in question) is a church. As you can see below it's not any church it's a collision between a church and art. It's made in such a way that it doesn't take away from the scenery and blocks part of it but it's completely integrated by building it in such a way that it's see-through. 

There isn't a lot more that I can tell you about this set of photos. I just love taking them but since I forgot my big-girl-camera, these were taken on my cell phone and severely edited to make them seem more vibrant. There is another blogpost coming with the rest of photos. So prepare. 

Goodbyeeeeee

Haul and review - Lush

Hi babes, 

How are you guys doing? 

I mentioned in my last blogpost that I went on another Lush shoppingspree and today I'm here to spill the beans. Lush is easily one of my favorite shops and I love to try new things from there now and again. This hauls contains a few repurchases because they're just that good yet also a few things I've never bought before. 

Purchases 

- Soak and float shampoo bar

- Seanik shampoo bar

- Sexbomb bathbomb

- Big bang bubble bar 

- Superbalm

Review

As for a quick review the soak and float shampoobar is great for the peeps out there with a sensitive scalp. I have a lot of trouble with mine and this shampoo really helps. It smells like a spa and fireplaces at the same time which is great and also gives a decent amount of volume. The seanik shampoobar is also a repurchase that gives lots of volume. Lastly I forgot to photograph my last repurchase the 'superbalm'. This one really didn't stole it's name. It's a treatment for more severe scalp issues. I get lots of flakes, itchiness, redness,... and superbalm does wonders for my scalp so if there's anything I'd recommend it's this product. 

Goodbyeeeee
