New make up geek colours!

Four new Make Up Geek (MUG) colours arrived into my life this weekend! I ordered a few colours and a Z palette for my mum to try and decided to add a few more to my collection. I mean, it would be rude not to as been as the parcel was coming all the way from America haha.

I have been trying to expand out with my colour range as I seem to have loads of blues and nude colours. I decided on Chickadee, Prom Night, Poison Ivy  and Burlesque.

As you can see below, I had a mix of the old and new style packaging in my order. The new style is the one with the lines and the older style is the swirls.

A little bit about the colours: (www.makeupgeek.com)
Chickadee is a Matte Yellow Orange shade.
Poison Ivy in a shimmery medium green
Burlesque is a metallic muted burgundy with warm undertones (and is my favourite out of the four)
Prom Night is a pale purple with hints of grey and a shimmery finish
                                                                

Below is a swatch of a four colours. I have to admit, if them all, chickadee seemed to have the least pigment. For the other three I just has to run my finger in them once to get the colour swatch you can see. With chickadee I had to rub it three or four times to get the colour and it isn't that intense. But to be far I see a lot of people use this as a transitioning colour so I'll see how I get on with it when I d a make up look.

First impressions:

I love Burlesque. Out of all four this is my favourite. It's so deep and instese. Poison Ivy has so really nice undertones and I think is going to be really beautiful on as I have a touch of green in my eyes. I really like Prom Night, but I'm not sure how it's going to look on me. And finally, Chickadee. This was the colour I was most looking forward to as its so different to anything else I own. The pigment wasn't a strong as I was hoping so fingers crossed it doesn't let me down when to comes to make up looks  

Short a sweet blog post today my lovelies. Cannot wait to start creating some new looks with these colours and those already in my palette!
