I have recently started an addiction. My new addiction is MakeUpGeek eye shadows. I had been looking at these eye shadows for months, but at the moment they only have a US website so shipping to the UK is pretty pricey (when you take into account tax and handling fees from the lovely Royal Mail, thanks for that...NOT)
But anyway, I decided to go for it and just get a few colours and a Z-palette to see what all the fuss was about. And so, here we are, I am now addicted to their eye shadows!
I recently purchased one of their loose pigments called Kryptonite. (See blow)

This colour is a metallic green moss with flecks of golden wonderfulness. It is INCREDIBLY pigmented, you literally need to dab your brush into the pot and you will have masses of colour. And even better it is an ever more wonderful price of just $6.99 for 1.4g
On thing I did notice was that it seemed VERY similar to my BareMinerals Purrfect. And I don't just mean the contents! Let's take a look....
Above you can see that from the outside, the packaging looks pretty similar. Inside things are a bit different.
When they are side by side you can see a little bit of a difference between the two colours. The swatch on the left is from MakeUpGeek and the swatch on the right is from BareMinerals
The BareMinerals shadow is slightly lighter with a little more of a golden tint to it. However the price difference between the two products is not so little.
MakeUpGeek : $6.99 (approx £4.50) for 1.4g
BareMinerals : £14.00 for 0.57g!!!
So not only is the MakeUpGeek cheaper but you get MASSES more product for your money! You could even buy a gold eye shadow to mix with it to make it have more gold like the BareMinerals one for less.
