Makeup Geek New Foiled Eyeshadows

Yay, I was waiting for these beauties and I must say the shipping was super fast I received an e-mail last Friday that they were shipped and they arrived today, normaly it needs like 2 weeks to get here!


And I was suprised that I didn't have to pay for customs even tho the price was $89,91. Maybe something changed with the custom policy that I wasn't aware of!!!

The sad part of the whole unwraping the eyeshadows was that my Flame Thrower e/s was damaged, I think that while they pressed the shadow in the pan it didn't stick too well, so while in transfer it chipped off a bit :(


I wrote a mail to Makeup Geek to see what they will do about it and as soon as I get an answer I will let you know!

I have 9 shadows out of 10, the one I was eying the most was sold out, the beautiful purple shade called Caitlyn Rose, which is a charity shade for the Reserch on Batten Disease!

But I do have the rest :)

As I stated on my Facebook page, I hate to do swatches, because I think it's a waste of product! I did do the swatches on these but, excuse my language, I suck at it LOL

They are more gorgeous then what you see in the pics, so you will just have to wait for the looks that I will create with them :D 

So here they are:

Flame Thrower

Center Stage

Show Time

Houdini

Magic Act

Jester

Grandstand

Mesmerized

In the Spotlight

The pics were taken in natural light, the swatches without a primer or Fix+, being as careful as I can get, I pressed as little as possible on the pans and by that these eyeshadows are super pigmented!!! I cannot wait to do a makeup look with them, which one should I use first?
