Makeup Geek Foiled + Regular Eyehadows ~ Review
May 01, 20150 Comments
Ok. I know this isn't as big of a deal as I'm about to make it seem, but I'm really excited.

Marlena AKA Makeup Geek just released her brand new foiled eyeshadows! I of course pre-ordered them and have just received mine yesterday, but I'm already in love with the formulation.

I've never owned a foiled eyeshadow before, and I've only owned two makeup geek eyeshadows in "Hipster" and "Shimma Shimma", but I knew I'd love all her stuff.  I bought ten eyeshadows, 5 foiled and 5 regular eyeshadows.

For the regular eyeshadows I got in order:

Prom Night
Glamorous
CoaCoa Bear
Mocha
Corrupt

The top is with flash and the bottom is without.








They're all super pigmented (better than Mac quality) and only $5.99 (American) each. Now moving on to the reason that I ordered. The Foiled eyeshadows.

For the foiled eyesahdows I got these colours in this order:

In the spotlight
Flame Thrower
Jester
Pegasus
Centre Stage

The top photo is with flash and the bottom is without.




As you can see the pigmentation is incredible. These are all done with one swipe and no primer whatsoever.


The foiled eyeshadows are $9.99 (USD) each.


The shipping was very fast as well. It took a week (including the weekend) to arrive at my apartment, and I live in Canada. These eyeshadows shipped from down in the states so that's really fast for the cheapest shipping option.

Overall I think Makeup Geek eyeshadows are the best single eyeshadows you can purchase, and I'm holding myself back from saying that they're the best eyeshadows in general because I don't own too big of a variety of eyeshadows.

I definitely want to try the blushes and anything else Marlena is working on!


I hope you enjoyed this quick review! I will be posting a video review on these eyeshadows in the near future (1-2 weeks from now most likely) so keep a look out for that! Bye for now, I'll see you soon.

Quick updates!
April 29, 20150 Comments
I just posted a video talking about updates for the month, but I'll do a quick summary below.



Here's a breakdown about what I talk about in the video

1. My best friend is moving in with us temporarily (a few weeks to a month and a bit most likely

2. Because of this the apartment tour will be delayed OR I'll show the second bedroom AKA my filming room later on when she moves out (YOU can decide which one you would prefer)

3. My background/filming location will be different until she moves out and I'll be experimenting with different locations so see what works best for me and you guys

4. Uploads will stay the same (once a week) for the meantime as I might be getting a full time job on top of my other part time, but if not they'll probably turn into twice a week when I get into the swing of things.


Thank you for reading!

My Skincare Routine
April 25, 20150 Comments
Hello! I just posted a video on what I do for my skin care routine! Here's the video and just incase you exit out before watching my normal awkward video ending...

If you want to see a boyfriend TAG with Steven, send me questions you'd like to see answered that aren't already on the original TAG, OR send me a link to a specific boyfriend TAG you'd like to see :)

Have a great rest of the week. I'll see you in next weeks GRWM ;)

Video + blog requests
April 24, 20150 Comments
Hello future readers who will hopefully read this blog! (I'm totally delusional, but I shall continue either way)

I don't know what you want to see. I have a few ideas of videos to make, but I'm not sure about specifics. For example, I know I want to do something that has to do with fashion (clothing based), but I'm not sure if you want to see OOTD's, my favourite pieces in each category, my favourite complete outfits, etc. What do YOU want to see specifically? Same thing goes with makeup looks. Send me links to pictures for me to recreate them.

Soon I'll be posting some sort of questions and answers video because it's been ages since the last one, and hopefully in a month or so there will be a boyfriend tag video up on my channel.

I'm writing this while on a study break for my last exam for my second year! I'm feeling good about this one at least. But I'm procrastinating on the readings. Anyways, that's not interesting at all.

TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE! I'll listen to you carefully, I promist!

Now back to studying. I'll write soon.

Also, I didn't make a blog post for this, but a few weeks ago I posted my February+March Ipsy review, which is also my FINAL video for ipsy as I have unsubscribed from the service. There is a lot more information and a good explanation in the video so click HERE to see it!

See ya later!

We moved!
March 25, 20150 Comments
Hello! I haven't posted a video or made a blog posts in over a month. I know that seems bad, but there's a reason for it. I decided that moving in the middle of the semester was a good idea, and when looking at it- it really was. I lived in a student house with 5 other people and all I had was a tiny room with all of my furniture in it. There was no space for doing homework, makeup, relaxing, having people over, and my roommates were (excuse the meanness) total pigs. My boyfriend and I decided that we would both be happier moving (him from his parents house in a different town from school and me from a student house) so we moved into a two bedroom apartment closer to our university. It's been almost a month since we've started moving, but now we're all moved in and only require cleaning up. We still don't have internet and I'm writing this from school (and uploading videos from school) because we'd like to get internet for the beginning of next month.

We decided to record our little process of moving and made a moving vlog that includes three weeks of content (in about 10 minutes) so here it is!

I will go back to making videos on a set schedule very soon! I'm aiming for one video a week for now, but when school is over I'll aim for two (or even three :o) if you guys enjoy the content and request more/like/comment/all that stuff that shows you're watching.

Anyways, that's all I have to say for now other then there's going to be an updated Apartment tour coming in a few weeks after my Dog moves in with us from my Mom's house.

Here's the video!
