Makeup Geek Eyeshadows: New Addiction!

Hello loves! 
Today I have a review for you that I am SO excited to share! My favorite thing to do lately is wind down at the end of a long day by watching the latest YouTube videos that my favorite gurus have recently uploaded. I am constantly finding new products to try or look into and their videos inspire to continue to be creative and try new things when it comes to beauty! I've been a little bit obsessed with Jaclyn Hill's channel recently, and in several of her videos she uses Makeup Geek products. Jaclyn has raved about the Makeup Geek eyeshadows and said that they were her absolute favorite. Com'on... after a review like that... you know I had to get my hands on some! ;)
A few weeks ago, my BFF and I decided to place an order together and got some of the eyeshadow colors that we have been hearing about and eyeing up on the site! I ordered four shadow pans and a rounded blush brush! 
These shadows are so so so pigmented and creamy! They apply like a dream! I do not experience fall out under my eyes at all with these! It really was love at first swatch with all of them! I loved the first few so much that I NEEDED to order more! At only $5.99 each, they are super affordable! I pop them right into my DIY ZPalette that I made a few nights ago!

Here are some swatches and short descriptions:

Peach Beach- Soft peach tone, matte shade. Love this as a transition shade for the crease or a blending shade!
Cupcake- Beautiful matte pink color. Has just a touch of mauve to it. Also love this one for the crease and blending!
Mermaid- Gorgeous satin bluish teal shade. Love this on the lid or for a pop of color liner.
Shimma Shimma- Pretty, pearly, and shimmery highlight tone. Love this on the inner corners and brow bone! It's just amazing!
Frappe- Warm matte brown tone, perfect crease shade! I am quickly falling in love with this one!
Hipster- Cool taupe tone that is incredible! Great color for Fall all over the lid or blended into the crease!
Cinderella- Beautiful pink toned satin highlight! Perfect for all over the lid or brow bone!
Glamorous- Totally gorgeous goldish bronze satin tone! Great for a pop of color and very versatile!
Homecoming- The most perfect Champagne Gold satin tone with just a touch of taupe! Totally obsessed with this one!
Cocoa Bear- Very warm brown tone! So pretty for the crease!
Country Girl- Omg! This one might be my favorite! Warm matte wine shade! So many options with this one! Great for Fall all over the lid or in the crease!

As you can probably tell, I went mostly for my typical taupes, browns, and bronzy shades, but I still wanted to put in some pops of color! I think all of these eyeshadow shades will be perfect for transitioning from late Summer to early Fall (and even work well for actually Fall)! I'm so excited to keep working with these on a daily basis and I know it probably won't be long before I put in another order for more!
If you are looking for a new eyeshadow to try I would definitely recommend these! So affordable, so many shades to choose from, and seriously great quality!
Eye look created with Beaches and Cream all over lid, Cupcake blended into crease, Frappe to darken crease, Cocoa Bear on outer corner of crease and Shimma Shimma to highlight brow bone and inner corners.
I know its hard to see.. and please excuse my ratchet hair (because Tuesday blah) and horrible office lighting.

As always, thanks so much for reading! I seriously love you guys!
