My Makeup Geek eyeshadow collection & Top 10

Hello my loves. I am so sorry for being gone for so long but I have even super busy with work. So I thought I'd kick off my 2016 with a MAKEUP GEEK EYESHADOW COLLECTION and my top 10 favourites/must haves. 


So the smaller palette at the bottom with the 9 eyeshadows in are the eyeshadows I first got off the Makeup Geek website and I have a post on them I'll add a link at the bottom of the page if you want to see what I thought. 
These eyeshadows are hands down my favourite ever eyeshadows! And I have really exciting news, now for us makeup artists in the UK BeautyBay.com has started selling them, the large Z palettes are full of ones I bought off there. So I have the palette on the left with more neutral tones in and them the palette on the right which is full of bright colours! These eyeshadows are £4.95 each!!! The quality and pigmentation is amazing! Better than any other eyeshadows I've used. The brand do a few different formulas of eyeshadows, Foiled eyeshadows and DuoChrome eyeshadows and then there normal eyeshadows which come in lots of different finishes including shimmers, frosts and there new Matte shades! If it's not obvious I've gone a little crazy buying more than 40 products since they launched on BeautyBay!! I will name all the shades I have! In the first palette (on the left, going from top to bottom l-r) I have Mai Tai, Cupcake, Petal Pusher, Unexpected and Vintage. Then Mango Tango, Roulette, Bitten, Cherry Cola, Mocha, Bada Bing and Americano. Then Mirage, In the Spotlight, Starry Eyed, I'm Peachless, Beaches and Cream, Magic Act and lastly Desert Sands. A quick sidenote Desert Sands is a Dupe for MAC's Uninterrupted, which has been discontinued, so if you love that eyeshadow you will love this one even more as the pigment is SO much better! Moving on to the Colours. From top to bottom (L-R) Boo Berry, Centre Stage, Duchess, Caitlyn Rose, Motown, Curfew, Day Dreamer. The one on its own is Mermaid. The next row of greens, we have Houdini, Envy, Enchanted Forest, Dirty Martini, Jester, Havoc and Karma. Then lastly Corrupt, Barcelona Beach, Concrete Jungle, Graphite, HighWire and Charmed. If you have been considering these eyeshadow I couldn't recommend them enough! Now on to my Top 10. 
These would be the eyeshadows I would reccomend a first time Makeup Geek buyer (that is if you love warm tones!!) 
1. Magic Act, this is a Foiled eyeshadow. So if you don't like shimmer maybe stay away from these but these are like no other eyeshadows I've used. 2. Peach Smoothie, if you follow me on Instagram if not.. @ellietaylorrxx. You will know that i used this eyeshadow every day! I bought this one back in spring last year and I had just ran out when they launched on BB. This is my second. 3. Crème Brulee, a slightly darker version of Peach Smoothie but I love this for different reasons! 4. Frappé, again another step darker. This is like mac Texture. A must have. 5. Grandstand, another foiled eyeshadow. It's a warm soft bronze/rose gold. It's beautiful. 6. Cocoa Bear, this is a MUG classic! It's a super warm rich brown. I love this one! 7. Roulette, a beautiful rose gold/copper. It is sooo pigmented and gorgeous. 8. Bitten, this shade I wanted from the first order I did but was sold out. I waited so so long to get this one. It doesn't swatch great but when it's applied it's amazingggg! 9. Americano, this is a deep brown with a slight burgundy undertone. I've been using this one every day. 10. Bada Bing, this is a really dark classic brown, it has flecks of gold glitter in it but it doesn't pick up on the eye.

So that's it guys. My makeup geek collection and top ten. I am still waiting for one to be delivered as I got sent a wrong shade and there are still lots and lots of shadows I still want. I put mine in a Large Z palette which I also buy from Beauty Bay. Head over there and treat yourself to some of these amaaaaazing eyeshadows!
If you want to know anything else, leave me a comment! Have a fab day! 
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
