Hi Everyone,
Welcome to Glossy Situations! Thank you for checking out my new blog.
I am so excited to finally be blogging! I will be posting every second Monday evening.
Glossy Situations will mostly be about makeup and beauty with the occasional lifestyle and fashion posts here and there.
If you are looking to purchase some eyeshadows from Makeup Geek I hope this will be helpful to you and that you will enjoy my first blog post!
I have had my eyes on these eyeshadows for so long and I am so excited to have finally ordered some! I know there have been loads of people raving about Makeup Geek eyeshadows and sometimes you don't know if a product is just being hyped up or if it's actually amazing but in this case they're actually amazing.

| Oh, the excitement! |
If you live in Australia like I do, you know shipping from America can be pricey and take up to a couple of months to then get your order. After I placed my order I received a confirmation email straight away and another email the next business day with my United States Postal Service tracking number. I paid $45 for priority International mail which took 10 days to arrive.
Prices
The eyeshadow pans that I purchased are $5.99 each in US$ which is cheap considering how amazing the quality is.
Extra Large Black Z Palette $28.00 this fits 35 Makeup Geek eyeshadows.
Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencils $4.99 each
Red Cherry Lashes $2.50 a pair
Ardell lashes $3.99
Now onto the fun stuff...
Unboxing and taking photos!

My Order
I ordered 35 Makeup Geek eyeshadows in pans, an extra large Z.Palette, three sets of Red Cherry eyelashes, ( two #47 & one #1 ) two sets of Ardell Demi Wispies and two Jumbo Eye Pencils in Milk.
It was all packed up nice and compact with bubble wrap and styrofoam.
You also get a cute handwritten note by the person who packed your order which is nice.

Swatches and Close Ups
 |
| Top to Bottom White Lies, Ice Queen, Vanilla Bean and Shimma Shimma |
Vanilla Bean works so well in an everyday look. It is a perfect subtle brow and inner corner highlight.
 |
| Bling, Purely Naked, Hipster and Barcelona Beach |
I love the colour Bling, it is so pigmented and shimmery. It looks great in the center of the lid to make your eyes pop.
 |
| Taupe Notch, Frappe, Brown Sugar and Country Girl |
 |
Frappe is the perfect mid toned warm brown. |
 |
| Bada Bing, Burlesque, Mocha and Last Dance |
I think Burlesque is my favourite out of all the shadows I ordered. It is just the perfect coppery plum shade. If you have blue or green eyes it just makes them look amazing!
I'm not the biggest fan of pink and reddish eyeshadows but I am excited to try these and I love the look of Marlena and Mango Tango.
How amazing does Chickadee and Gold Digger look?! I will be making some pictorials soon with these for you guys!
 |
| Peacock, Poison Ivy and Shark Bait |
I love the colour Shark Bait (ohh ha ha)
 |

I'm so in love with all these gorgeous blues! Especially Mermaid and Neptune.
The perfect match! Unexpected in the crease and Prom Night on the lid.
 |
| Galaxy, Graphite and Corrupt |
I can't believe how crazy pigmented these colours are! Add in some 'White Lies' as a highlight and you have the perfect dramatic smokey eye.
Marlena (who started Makeup Geek) did such an amazing job on these I'm pretty sure I will have to make another order soon for some of the beautiful blushes and new foiled eyeshadows which are coming out soon!
Thank you so much for reading guys!
