Hello everyone! Recently, I was lucky enough to have a chance to try out some products I've always wanted to try, Makeupgeek eyeshadows!
I was able to choose 12 eyeshadows, and 3 brand-new pigments courtesy of
Makeupgeek, to create some looks with. I've never heard anything negative about this company/website, so I was ecstatic at the opportunity!
I went ahead and popped the pans right into my large Z-palette (they stick without needed any additional magnets or stickers or anything!) They come as pans, however you can buy them in compacts if you would like. I prefer them in pans because I have a bunch of Z-palettes, and it's far less clutter. (Pans are $5.99, compacts are $7.99) Don't worry about labeling, each pan is labeled with the color name and all of the information already!
SWATCH TIME!!!

All of these were swatched over Urban Decay Primer Potion Original.
Color descriptions according to Makeupgeek;
Razzleberry - Raspberry Pink with Gold Glitter
Burlesque - Deep Metallic Burgandy
Unicorn - Shimmery Blue Purple
Wisteria - Matte Pale Purple
Fairytale - Pale matte lavender
Sea Mist - Shimmery Turquoise
Appletini - Shimmery Apple green with flecks of gold
Shimmermint - Metallic Mint Green With Gold Shimmer
Stealth - Matte True Gray
Moon Dust - Metallic silver taupe
Vanilla Bean - This simple but smooth shadow has a matte finish with just the slightest sheen.
Taupe Notch - Taupe
The only one of thee descriptions I DON'T agree with is Taupe Notch. I find it far too brown, when I think of taupe, I think of a brown with more of a grey tone to it, but this one has too much red in it for me to consider it a 'taupe' shade. Other than that, they're all pretty accurate descriptions!
I also got to try some of the newly released pigments Makeupgeek now makes!
The texture of these reminds me of MAC pigments a lot. It almost bunches up together, but goes on so shimmery and so smooth.

Color descriptions according to Makeupgeek;
Afterglow - Soft Shimmery Champagne
Insomnia - A dark chocolate brown duochrome with blue/teal reflects.
Utopia - A mixture of deep brown and antique gold shimmer duochrome.
These come with 2 grams of product in them, and they are packed to the BRIM! Literally! I'll also mention that these do NOT come with sifters in the jars! (Which is a plus for me, since I remove all jar sifters anyways xD) Pigments are $6.99 each.
Complete list of products used:
- Urban Decay Primer Potion Original
- MakeupGeek Eyeshadow in Vanilla Bean

That about sums it up for now! All in all, I am loving these shadows. Great pigmentation and quality for a very, VERY reasonable price. I'm looking forward to filling up my large Z-palette with these! I can't wait to play with them more!
