Makeup Geek Pigment Review

Hello My Beauties I hope you are all well :) 

Today I come to you with another Makeup Geek Review :) 

This time its the Loose Pigments :) 

Now this review is one review I am excited about :)  I am totally in love with these and have been using them all week :) 

For all of you out there who find it hard to use pigments and glitters do not be put off because believe me you will be interested in these by the time I am finished this review :) 

I ordered 3 of these because to be honest I have seen swatches of them and thought I just had to have them and now I am glad I did.  Thing is whats worse is I want all of them now :) 

There is 17 pigments altogether to choose from and to be honest It was hard to choose which ones to get :)  

Each pigment contains 2gs for pigment for only $6.99/€6.26/£4.55 each :) 

The pigments come in a little box with a clear window to see what shade is in each.  The pigments also come in a little plastic pot with a black lid which has Makeup Geek Printed on the top of it.  Underneath is the stick of the name of each pigment :) 

Let me warn you each pigment is filled up to the top so be careful opening these up as you may spill some :)  As mentioned above I got 3 pigments but I did notice that 2/3 pigments has a cover over them with a small whole in the middle to allow you to open with care and also bo dip your brush in.  I do not know if this is a new thing but I do find the plastic covering makes less of a mess than without one :) 

So lets gets started on the shades shall we :) 

Afterglow:  Just take a moment to drool :)  I know isnt it amazing :)  This is one pigment everyone will love for its the most beautiful highlight shade.  Not only for the eyes but also for the face :)  This is a beautiful soft shimmery champagne.  The shimmers are golden and will compliment any skin tone.  I have used this for an everyday look all over the lid and its just the perfect eye opener :)  It really makes your eyes look wide awake :)   The Pigmentation from this is amazing and a little goes a long long way.  Stunning :) :) 

Next up is 

Insomnia:   Oh I have died and gone to heaven this is the most beautiful shade :)  Described as A Dark Chocolate Brown Duochrome with Blue/Teal Reflects its exactly what it says and boy oh boy is this pigmented wow.  This shade will suit every eye shade but if you have green eyes wow this really makes them pop.  Its amazing full stop and you just have to have this in your collection :)  This is surely a great dupe of Mac's Club Eyeshadow which I am sure you would have guessed by now its stunning :) 

and last but not least 

Enchanted:  Oh my goodness I love love love this shade its amazing its beautiful its fantastic and its mine hehehehe :) :)  Enchanted is a stunning Light Shimmery Plum wow when I placed this on my lids I noticed instantly the green piercing through my hazel eyes its just beautiful and so so pigmented :) 

I bet you are in awwww now :)  I have never worked with such amazing pigments until now.  All swatches above are made with no primer and literally used with a damp brush :)  Blending these beauties out are like a dream.  I literally only used primer on my lids and applied them both with a damp brush and dry and they apply really really well.  Applying with a damp brush you will get more pigmentation out of them but to be honest you get enough pigmentation from them by applying primer and patting these on too.  I am totally in love and even with these pigments I found you do not get alot of fallout from them as long as you tap off excess shadow back to the pot.  Lasting Power is amazing also once on the eye these beauties are not moving as long as you have primer or a cream eyeshadow for them to stick to.  You get no fallout through out the day of wearing them which I have found with other pigments I have used .  Just amazing and well worth trying out :) 

I am definately building my collection with these for sure :)  

Here is some looks I created with these pigments :) Along with the pigmented I also used my Makeup Geek Starter Kit  in which I have reviewed here 

A Simply day time look using "Afterglow" on the lid and inner corner.  From the Starter Kit "Creme Brulee" in the crease and above the crease,  "Mocha" in the crease building it up more in the outer V.  I also used all shades on the lower lash line :) 

In this look I used :  From the Makeup Geek Starter Kit A mixture of Cocoa Bear and Creme Brulee in the crease blending really well.  I used Mocha to deepen the crease.  I patted on Insomnia pigment onto the lid building up the shade.  I wanted to go a little darker on the outer V so I applied a tiny amount of Corrupt and blended into the crease I applied insomnia and corrupt to my lower lash line :)  I loved this look alot its perfect for day and night :) 

Lastly I adored this look as it made the green in my hazel eye stand out:   From the Makeup Geek Starter Kit A mixture of Cocoa Bear and Creme Brulee in the crease blending really well.  I used Mocha to deepen the crease.  I applied Enchanted to my lid patting on the shade :)  I could have left it like that but I wanted darker in the outer corners so I applied a nice amount of Corrupt to the outer corner and blended into the crease :)  I also applied a tiny amount of Afterglow Pigment to the inner corners 

Overall I love these and have had so much fun playing with them :)  
Have you tried Them yet?

I hope you enjoyed this review 
Until Next Time 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter

Enchanted Bath & Body Works Haul & Review

Hey my beauties Hope you are all well 

I have a little story for you all before i get started (i love to talk incase you havent noticed already haha)

Well first of all you all have heard of Lush? Right?

Well i had my first experience of Lush there at Christmas just gone where i bought a few bath bombs and a lip scrub and absolutely loved them but i havent had the chance to try anything else in which i have been wanting to so bad but Lush is about 40 miles away from me and its so difficult to get there, so i was trying to find out if there was an online store in which there isnt yet.  

The more i seen peoples hauls of Lush the more i wanted it until one day i was talking to a girl on facebook who is super addicted to Lush and she was showing lots of new products she got from this site Enchanted.  She was telling me that its a little cheaper than Lush and very similar (which got me asking more questions :) ) She stated she was trying to save and also trying to get rid of her Lush addiction for a while lol 

For anyone who hasnt heard of Enchanted Click here to visit the site 

So i emailed the ladie who runs Enchanted as even though its cheaper than lush it still was higher in price than i normally pay for creams etc.  So i asked her alot of questions and she kindly sent me some samples (of course i promised i would give my utmost honest opinion of each product and my experiences) and if i likes them i would definitely be purchasing on a regular basis so on with my little samples haul :) :) 

I was quite surprised with the amount of samples i got and the sizes of each.  I loved it as it would give me a good chance to used each one over a good space of time and give me a great idea of how my skin will react to them.  Now to let you all know what my skin is like so that you can verify if these will suit you 

My Skin is Dry to Normal skin i suffer with alot of dryness on my knees, elbows and feet.  My face i am normal to combinations skin with a little dryness around the mouth area sometimes and maybe a little oiliness on the t-zone sometimes too.  

First up:) 

Now for me i find it hard to use soaps.  Its just personal but i feel they can be oily.  Not all but some and i just tend to stay clear of them to be honest.  When i seen this one i thought ok i will give it a shot and i have to admit im converted i truly am.  

Bath Pixie (best seller): A decadent vanilla creme brulee base swirled with fruity sugar, rich berries, juicy black cherries and thick whipped cream. To buy these cost £3.50 for a 90g bar

When i first used this i thought "ok this is just like any other soap" but the more i used it the more i could see the difference.  When connected with water it feels sort of oily but not overly oily it lathers up almost straight away the scent is not overly strong and my skin felt so smooth and soft after :) i really like this but to be honest i would prefer to try more before i say YES BUY IT so dont worry i will be buying one and i will keep you posted on that one :) :) 

Foaming Sugar Scrub

A moisturising and exfoliating whipped sugar scrub which foams beautifully and rinses clean, enriched with natural oils to leave skin silky soft and beautifully scented. Scrubs may or may not be decorated with sugar strands, sprinkles, jojoba beads etc

The scrubs come in 200g (£8.50) and 450g (£15) jars or you can buy a set of three 100g jars for £13.50. 

I got 2 different types 

Dia de los Muertos: Candied fizzy sherbet limes & Balancing Act Scrub which almost smells of a  very light teatree oil scent 

There are around 34 scents to choose from or you could order one unscented if you wish thats the best thing about this site :) :) you can also choose not to have decoration in it.  

I was 100% amazed by these scrubs i mean AMAZING!!!!! I thought by using these scrubs they would dry out my skin even more but been honest right now to you all they DONT not one little bit i mean i literally got out of my shower feeling as if i moisturised already, thats how smooth my skin felt.......This scrub is definitely going to be a regular purchase of mine for sure.   They even work amazing without my ex foliating glove that i normally use and they are even amazing to take false tan off.  A little goes a long way with these so even purchasing the biggest tub will surely last a very very long time.  I cant wait to order mine now its just choosing the scent thats taking me the longest lol.   If i was to choose between these two i would go for the second one as it smells fantastic the first one is more of a clean crisp scent.  

Whipped Body Wash 

A wonderfully scoopable, moisturising body wash which produces loads of lather. Best used on a shower puff and great for shaving too. Enriched with skin loving jojoba oil, this will leave skin touchably smooth and soft. These may or may not be decorated with cosmetic glitter, sprinkles etc.

To buy These Cost: £9.00 for 200g Jar/ £16 for 450g Jar 

I got 2 different scents 

SubLIME (best seller): Warm sugar cookies topped with ooey gooey marshmallows, smooth caramel and a heavy twist of sugared lime. This one is truely subLIME (as explained on the site) & Blood Bath: reminds me of the scent of Ripe Strawberries and cream mmmmmmm

Well as it says on the site its best used with a powder puff so i used these the was it said to.  Ladies the scent of my bathroom after using these was unreal.  MMMMMM it was just like walking into a Lush shop.  :) The body wash is so thick and creamy it looks good enough to to eat really it does take a look for yourself i especially love the look of the Blood Bath one mmmmmm

I was especially amazed at the fact that so little of this is needed to wash with i mean little.  The first time i used these i took a bit dollop of it and placed it in my poof.  By the time i washed myself with it the bath( my shower is in the bath)  looked like i filled it with lots of bubble bath and it took ages to wash the bubbles out of my puff lol wont do that in a hurry again :) but says alot eh?

Its very true to its word when it states that its great for shaving too as i have of course tried it too :) My skin felt amazing more amazing than every after using this im well impressed and this is another on my list to buy from Enchanted for sure 

Multi-use body, linen and hair spray

A wonderful product with amazing scent hold and throw. This silky dry oil is a multi use wonder product, great for use on the body, hair or as a linen or room spray. This is a dry oil so does not feel "oily" or greasy at all 

To Buy this costs: £7.50 for a 50mls bottle 

As Described on the site: Siren: This really will have men falling at your feet, simply amazing vanilla sexed up with amber and sandalwood. 

Now im not a huge fan of strong Vanilla Scents.  That just by personal refrence i just dont like strong vanilla scents i find it sort of sickening.   Now i dont mind anything with a hint of vanilla at all i can tolerate that.  

This is mainly the reason i did not try this fully which is horrible as im sure its a great spray i have to say i did spray it on my arm and left it for a while and the scent was very strong im also sure it will be a very long lasting scent but i had to wash it off as it got too much for me.  It actually took a good few washes before i finally got rid of it so that i see is a good thing .  When i make an order next time i will order this one in a different scent and then give a full review i promise :) :) 

Beautiful Body Cream 

Not too thick, not too thin this body cream is a great texture - beautifully moisturising without leaving any residue, sinks in beautifully. Great for all skin types and available in all scents or un-fragranced.

To buy this costs: £11.00 for 20g jar or Try me sets which contain 3 x 100g jars of any 3 scents your choice for £17.00

As you can see my sample is in "Rosie Jam" a beautiful rosy scent.  This Body Cream is to die for and a pleasure to apply to my skin.  The consistency of the cream is in between thick and thin.  It soaks into the skin almost straight away and does not leave one bit of oily residue at all.  I love that :) iThe scent is strong but not sickening strong and stays on the skin a good part of the day.  Most of all my skin feel as smooth and silky as babies skin i love it.  :) 

So thats the last of my samples haul.  I am definitely impressed with alot of these products, especially the Sugar Scrubs and the Body Wash in which im definately going to be ordering.  I love the fact that these are made from scratch.  Sarah is the owner of this fabulous site and creations and i have to say you can tell she puts alot of time effort and thought into her creations :) She has even stated on her site that if there is any particular scent/scents you like she will put them together in whatever you like :) :) now thats even more impressive :) 

You got to check out her site and see for yourself what i am talking about :) :)
