April 2013 Favourites

Hey Chic Geeks,

This month both of us have had our favourites so we decided to share them with you. We will include beauty, food and music related favourites. We have included a different range of products as well so we hope that they appeal to all of you.

BEAUTY:

Covergirl Lash Blast Fusion (G&L’s Fave)

This Mascara is both of our everyday mascaras. We both really love how it separates, lengthens and adds volume to our lashes. We would both buy it again and recommend it to anyone.

 

 

Burts Bees Replenishing Lip Balm with pomegranate oil (G&L’s Fave)

 

 

This lip balm is amazing. It hydrates significantly and makes your lips feel super soft. If you use it twice a day, you start notice a difference within a couple of days. Best of all its 100% natural!

 

Clean and Clear Morning Burst Facial Scrub (G’s Fave)

 

 

This facial scrub is really great. As you can see we have used it up and we definitely need to buy a new one! The scrub really wakes you up and gives you a refreshed feel. The scrub also makes it amazing, it leaves your skin feeling soft and amazing.

 

Models Prefer Brush: (L’s Fave)

 

 

This brush is a double threat! After using this brush we loved how it picked up makeup so well and we also loved the fun colours. The only downside is that like the MAC brushes, the name does rub off pretty fast.

FOOD:

Yogurtland (G's Fave)

 

Yogurtland is seriously the best! We heard about it from some of our friends so we decided to try it. We both love how they let you choose how much you want of everything and the flavour range is amazing!

Soft Pretzel (L's Fave)

Who doesn’t love soft pretzels? We found a little shop selling them and we just had to try them out and they became a favourite for the month! They are so delicious.

 

 

 

MUSIC:

 

 

Change You Life by Little Mix (G's Fave)

We have literally been listening so this song on repeat for the whole month! We both love the beat and the lyrics, we both just love Little Mix.

Feel this moment by Pitbull ft. Cristina Aguilera (L’s Fave)

This song is so uplifting and is great to dance to! We have had our fair share of dance breakouts this month!

We hope you enjoyed our favourites of the month. Why don't you tell us if you have tried, eaten or listened to any of these or even what you have been loving for the month.

Glamorous Pink and Brown Eyeshadow Tutorial

Hey Chic Geeks,


We have both decided that we would like to do a makeup tutorial for you. We have chosen to do a pink and brown eye shadow tutorial. Its G’s everyday makeup look for both summer and winter. We both really feel that this look can give anyone a pick me up. We have created a simple step by step tutorial on how to recreate it. I have applied Rimmel Wake me Up Foundation and the Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer beforehand. You apply this before or after the tutorial. :)

 

 

 

 To start off, you want to put a primer all over you lid, up to your crease. You then can put a skin coloured eye shadow all over your lid up to your crease. I like to use a colour from the Covergirl Palette in Fard Accent. You can use a matte or a shimmery eye shadow, it doesn’t really matter because we are just creating an even eyelid with no discolouration.

 

 

Next you can apply a light pink/champagne cream eye shadow all over your lid to create a shimmery pink look, I used the warmth of my finger to blend it in. I used one side from the Revlon Colour Stay Smokey Shadow Stick in 201 Torch/Incendiaire. You then apply an eye shadow of the same shimmery light pink/champagne colour on the lid to make the colour brighter, I used a MAC 217 brush and the pink shimmery colour from the Revlon Colourstay Quad in 09 Sterling Rose.

 

Now I got the other side of the Revlon Smokey Shadow stick in a dark brown/matte colour. I then blended it onto the outer corner of the eye with a MAC 217 brush.

 

Next I got a black eyeliner pencil in Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal 061 Jet Black. I lined just under her lash line and blended it out with a sponge brush.

 

 

I then curled her eyelashes and got a mascara from Covergirl Lash Blast Fusion and applied it to the upper lashes. I didn’t apply it to the bottom lashes to stop the smudging. I gently combed through them with a brush.

 

 

 

You can then apply a lip stick or any other makeup product you may like. Then Voila! It’s done! It’s a very simple but glamorous eye shadow! We hope that this tutorial has helped you and this is one of many makeup tutorials we hope to bring you.

Benefit Review

Hey Chic Geeks,

 After hearing many great reviews on the Benefit products we decided to try them out for ourselves. We went shopping with one of our friends and found this little box kit to trial for $45 at Myer. Its called Finding Mr.Bright

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have heard lots of great reviews about the Benefit Erase Paste and we think that it is amazing as well. In this particular kit the Erase Paste only comes in one shade (No. 2 Medium) while this is not particularly good for paler and darker complexions, you can mix the Benefit High Beam with the Erase Paste to create a lighter shade of concealer. The Erase Paste has a medium/high coverage and it is a creamy consistency.

 

The Benefit High Beam is fantastic highlighter, although you need quite a large amount for it to show up. When it is visible it looks amazing on the skin. It really does give  your skin the extra 'pop' it needs.

Girl Meets Pearl is described as a liquid pearl for the face and it truly is that. It gives a lovely, soft golden shimmer and adds a positive glow to your skin. It also smells pretty good, which is a bonus.

 

Posie Tint is a liquid cheek and lip tint. It looks natural on the skin, however it is good for the spring and summer months. Although it is autumn here, it is great to add a pop of colour to your face.




Over all this product has been a standout for us but the only down sides are the erase paste only comes in one colour and that the sizes are only mini, we recommend this to anyone looking for
a great product to start using.
