CLICK HERE FOR HOT SINGLES!

Single eyeshadows, that is! I know, that was probably mean, huh? But I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Hey guys! I don’t think I could possibly be more excited than I am today! Because…..MY MORPHE SHADOWS AND MAKEUP GEEK CONTOUR POWDERS CAME ON THE SAME DAY! 

Excuse me a moment while I happy dance!

Ok, I’m back. Now that they’re tucked in all nice in their Z Palette home, let’s get to talking about them!

MORPHE INDIVIDUAL EYESHADOWS ($2.29 each)

So most of these shades are new to the line. Not the premium shadows, which they now carry in pans that are roughly double the size of these, and they’re also foiled. These are just the standard size pans, in some of their new shades. Some are existing shades. I didn’t get all of them….yet….just a few.

You guys know how much I love Morphe products. Their brushes, their eyeshadow palettes; they’re definitely like, in the top three of my favorite brands. They’re pigmented, long wearing, buttery smooth, and amazing! Check out the photos below!
BTW, the new shades will be marked with a *.

Natural daylight, no flash

With flash

And now for the actual swatches!

Top Row L to R: Glam Life*, Perfection*, Sweets*, Flipside*, Swine*, Buckle Up*, Treasure*

Second Row L to R: Wink For Pink, Petals, Peekaboo*, Pretty In Pink, Sweet Escape*, Glow For Me

Gorgeous, aren’t they?! Well wait ’til you see what’s next!!

MAKEUP GEEK CONTOUR POWDERS ($10 each)

So next up is something that I’ve been lusting after since I heard they were coming out. These are the Makeup Geek Contour powders – a buttery smooth, long wearing, buildable contour powder in eight shades, ranging from cool porcelain to deep shades. There is literally something for everybody! The pans are $10 each, but for the freelance MUA, they have a bundle of all eight shades for just $65!!

I picked up the shade ‘Breakup’ which is for porcelain skin with cool undertones, and ‘Infidelity’, for fair to light skin with cool undertones. I prefer my contour shades very cool toned, but I think I’ll be picking up a few more of their warmer shades too, just to try them out!

These are pretty heavy swatches, but they can be applied sheer for a natural, daytime look, or built up for a super sculpted, chiseled look.

Top – Breakup (cool porcelain) Bottom – Infidelity ( cool fair)

I absolutely love these already, and I haven’t even begun to play with them! I can tell by the swatches that I’ll be adding more to my collection very soon!

HAUTELOOK HAUL! MORPHE BRUSHES AND PALETTES

Every so often I take a quick browse through my HauteLook app – not the fashion, my dears, I think it’s quite apparent that I go straight for the beauty items!

Well, a couple weeks ago I happened to notice that Morphe was on HauteLook, and having been a lover of all beauty products and tools, not to mention lusting after many of their items for quite some time, I decided what better opportunity than now to take advantage of some of my faves being on sale! These items are not commonly found on HauteLook, but they can be found in stock regularly at morphebrushes.com. They’re amazing quality, and even at full price (and they’re VERY reasonable in their prices!) they are the perfect, professional quality palettes and brushes and so much more for ANY budget!

So here’s what I got!

MORPHE 9B THE BLUSHED BLUSH PALETTE

 

 This palette come with 9 matte blushes in various shades of pink, peach and rose tones, with one random very bright red at the very bottom of the palette. The pigmentation of these blushes is no joke – you need a very small amount on your brush, and literally one dip of the brush will pick up so much product, you’ll want to be sure to give it a good tap to get off any excess. I’ve seen this palette used all over YouTube, and after seeing just how affordable it was, and currently it IS out of stock on their website, but I’ve noticed that for some time now it’s been listed at a sale price of $19.99. For 9 blushes, that’s quite the deal.

MORPHE 9BZ THAT GLOW BRONZER PALETTE

 

 This is another 9 pan palette, with both matte and shimmery bronzers in warm and cool tones made to suit virtually any skin color. Light, medium, and darker shades will keep you looking gorgeous and glowy all year round. Or if you’re a professional makeup artist, it drastically eliminates the amount of shades you need to pack up and carry job to job, because it’s so versatile. This is currently in stock on the Morphe website and it too is listed on sale for $19.99. If you consider that the average decent drugstore bronzer can average about $10, this is a heck of a bargain! For this and the blush palette I paid $15 each.

MORPHE M439 DELUXE BUFFER BRUSH

 

 This is a rounded, synthetic kabuki brush that is IDEAL for apply foundation. It was a long time favorite of YouTuber and professional MUA Jaclyn Hill, and after watching so many of her videos and how much she raved about it, when I saw that it was on sale (I think I paid around $10) I knew I had to have it. I’ve been using a Real Techniques Expert Face Brush to apply my foundation and I love it, but the M439 feel just a little bit softer and denser than the RT. I’m super excited to try it out!

MORPHE M160-1/8 ANGLE LINER BRUSH

 

 I have a few no-name angled liner brushes, and they’re alright, but I noticed that they’ve been starting to fray and shed. So I thought I would give this one a try. It’s regularly $5.99, but currently listed on their site for $2.99, only .99 cents more than what I paid on HL. They have a few different sizes it appears, this being the 3rd smallest. I had backed off the gel liner for awhile because of my raggedy old brushes, but I can’t wait to give this a try!

MORPHE M200 DELUXE CREASE BRUSH

 

 I love me a good fluffy brush. I’ll be the first to admit that for the longest time I avoided eyeshadows like the PLAGUE because I struggled so badly with blending. But fluffy brushes like this are A-MAZ-ING for blending away any harsh lines in your shadows, making you look like a smokey, sultry, sexy queen! The regular retail price is $9.99, but it’s listed on sale for $4.99 right now.

MORPHE M330 BLENDING CREASE BRUSH

 

 Another fluffy blending brush, it’s pretty much meant to do the exact same thing as a M200. But I’m rough on my blending brushes, so I like to have a few of them on hand at any given time. I also like to highlight with them, and this one looks like a smaller M501 which is commonly used for things like highlighting. The M330 retails for $11.98 but is currently on sale for $5.99. Quite a steal!

MORPHE M221 METAL EYELASH DEFINER

 

 “Clumpy mascara is not cute” they say on their website. And they’re damn right! Some people really like that chunky, clumpy look, and if you can carry off a look like that then more power to you! Personally I like my natural, long, separated doll like looking lashes. Bottom line, I actually didn’t own one of these, and I needed one. It regularly retails for $7.99 but is currently on sale for $3.99. I believe that this is one tool everyone should have in their collection, whether you’re a professional or not.
