Makeup Geek Eyeshadows

Hello makeup geeks, 

I love this brand! Especially love their eyeshadows. This brand was created by a YouTuber Marlena. I didn't know much about her before purchasing these. I found out about this brand through other youtubers (Jaclyn hill) who raved about how pigmented and blendable these shadows were, and very comparable to mac shadows. I knew I needed to try them! I actually got to meet her at imats LA, she's so sweet and down to earth! 
This was a recent purchase, paid with my own money! I also placed another other to try some brushes and an eyeshadow named "chickadee", which was out of stock which seemed forever. 
Packaging is super cute! Each pan ($5.99)

You can also purchase each shadow in their own compact, but I like storing mine in these z-palettes to save space and have them all in one place! 

Z-palette sold separately ($13) ordered mine from amazon. 

Top to bottom: 
Cosmopolitan, Mango Tango, Burlesque, Shimma Shimma, Vanilla Bean 
 

Below I have some shades I already owned. I loved these neutrals, therefore I placed an order for more shades. 


Left to right: Cocoa Bear, Latte, Frappe, Mocha, Peach Smoothie, Creme Brule

You can also purchase a kit as a whole. It comes with a small z palette, like the one above, with 9 most popular shadows. You can check their website to see more information on that. 


These shadows definitely a thumbs up for me!

Muji USA Drawers

Today I want to discuss how I organize some of my makeup!



This is what I like to store in mine.


When I first started getting into makeup, I order 2 sets of muji drawers as an organizational tool. If you aren't familiar with these drawers, they are really popular in a lot of girls' makeup collection videos. They are basically clear acrylic drawers to store your makeup. At one point, these drawers stored all my makeup. I still use them everyday, placed on my vanity, but I also added a desk with many drawers to have enough space for all of the goods. I plan to do a future post on my full collection storage, but I really need to organize!There is a variety of sizes available on their website. I first ordered the 5 drawer case, then later ordered the 2 drawer case. I just stack the 2 on top of the 5. This are really sturdy and durable, I've had mine for almost 2 years!




    • I have a lot of lip products besides traditional lipstick tubes, how do you store them??

SEPHORA+PANTONE Color of the Year: Radiant Orchid Collection with Swatches!



Hey ladies, 
If you're a true makeup junkie, you know Sephora was having 15% off sales going on this week. I picked up all these items during this time because I've been hearing so many good things. I am really impressed. First of all, I love this color! I'm all for bold colors, and loving how pigmented everything is! By the time you're reading this, the sale would be over, but these are reasonably price and worth the money! This is a limited edition collection, so get your hands on it before its sold out!

Color of the year: Radiant Orchid


Radiant Rush Matte Lipstick ($18)







SEPHORA+PANTONE UNIVERSE
Rush Luster Cheek Sweep ($26)







SEPHORA+PANTONE UNIVERSE
Radiant Paint Gloss Trio ($26)



SEPHORA+PANTONE UNIVERSE
The Eye: Radiant Femme Artistry Set ($48)



This is really the star of the collection. These shadows blend really nicely and are full of color! This is a rather large palette, so it does take a lot of room. But you can use this big mirror to do your makeup, which comes in handy!






I would recommend this collection to anyone who loves bright and bold looks! Talk to you ladies later! Don't forget to follow me on Instagram, anabelogb,  I post a lot more often on there! I like talking to you guys, so don't be afraid to ask me any questions! -Anabelogb

City color be matte blushes (as seen in ipsy glam bag)

Hello, 
Third post this week, yay me! 
Here I have city color matte blushes, I first heard about them on ipsys website! I seen other girls got one of these blushes in their bag, mine didn't ! So I went ahead and just ordered directly from the site! 
If you don't know what ipsy is it's a subscription website for beauty items. Each month you pay $10 on the first and they send you 4-5 products in a makeup bag mid month. I'll have my link below so you can sign up. http://www.ipsy.com/r/2ne9

Anyway, moving on to the good stuff. Ipsy did give me a coupon code for 20 percent off, these are each at $2.99, so super affordable. Omg they are so pigmented and easy to blend. With a light hand you won't look like a clown! A little goes a long way with these! 


There's 8 colors in total. I have 5 of the 8. I really wanted the one named melon fresh, but when I ordered these, it was out of stock.

Go get you some girl!
