Hey Beautiful People

Lets look are some lippy ;) I am here to talk to you about the Geek Chic Joystick in Sweet Transvestite. This shade has gone under some re-formulation to make it smoother and extra pigmented. Sweet Transvestite is not drying on the lip as it has moisturizing Jojoba Oil and Vitamin E in its formula, the Joystick is also mint flavoured which I personally find nice =)

 

The overall shape of the joystick isn't ideal for a perfect application in my opinion Sweet Transvestite BEST applied with a lip brush (which I have done in the lip swatches below). If you like Sweet Transvestite you can purchase it on the Geek Chic Cosmetics web store for $5.99 USD.

 

The colour wore fairly well lasting around 3-4 hours the main fading was after eating so I was fairly happy. The biggest down fall for the GCC Joysticks is that they are not a item you can carry around in your pocket as they melt fairly easily.

 

I would repurchase this colour again when it runs out.

Product description

GCC Description - gorgeous blackened, orange leaning burgundy with flashes of fiery orange, copper, and red interferences within the deep red base

My Description - Deep Burgundy with orange/red undertones and flashed of copper

 

Whats your favourite lipstick shade?

Final thoughts:  This shade is one of the more 'firm' GCC Joysticks I have tried it applies fairly well out of the tube though for optimum performance a lip brush is recommended. ST is very pigmented and non drying on the lips. This shade WILL stick to any dry/flaky areas on the lips so ensure they are exfoliated and moisturized.

Hello Beautiful People

So here is a very quick little review on 3 of the shades in Geek Chic Cosmetics latest  Scapers collection I was sent these 3 shades for consideration to review, I was stoaked to get the Glitter to review I am a totally Glitter junkie so I was pretty excited to review... Sadly mother nautre has been against me its been cloudy/raining on and off FINALLY i had a very small window of sun and i swatched up a storm =) this is a new way of swatching i am trying out (so let me know what you think) it shades swatched over bareskin with Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy on top

The shades i recieved are Starburst, Frell! and Bonded to the stars Starburst is the glitter mix while Frell! and Bonded to the stars are pigments. The glitter is well mixed with a good ratio of colours it didnt feel gritty once my glitter base dried I couldnt feel it at all.

As for the pigments they are well blended and are fairly pigmented over bare skin as always I personally feel all loose pigments preform better over a base. The shades are smooth and blend well Bonded to the stars preforms better over a sticky base to really get the glitter to pop and not fall out.

So as always this collection is avaiable online at Geek Chic the whole collection is avaiable individually or you get by the entire collection (8 pigments and 1 glitter) at a discounted price. All the shadows are avaiable in sample sizes.

Samples come in Clam shells and for $1.25USD you get about a 'dash' of product PLENTY for multiple uses. Full Sized jars are $5.99 USD and you get 1g of product in a 5g jar with a sifter. The lip glosses are $4.99 each and the Glitter is 1g for $2.99. If you wanted to purchase the collection as a whole it is $39.99 which qualifys you for free shipping!

These colours were added to a order I had placed previously and was posted well within the stated TAT and were recieved in australia within around 2 weeks. I ordered the rest of the collection so that i can do a full review for you guys so when it gets here (and if mother nature stays kind haha) i will get them swatched and on here asap =)

Onto swatches and colour descriptions

My Description - A white shade with a satin finish

Out of the three its no suprised I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Starburst glitter its so pretty second fave is bonded to the stars. As i mentioned earlier I have the rest of the collection on its way to me and once i get it I will do a full review =)

Final thoughts: Overall these 3 colours preformed well, the glitter didnt clump nor did it feel gritty. the Pigments are smooth and apply well they also blend well with other non GCC shades. the white is semi-shear over bare skin for a more intense look a base colour or stick base is recommended.

Lip Glosses Colour Description

Banished

GCC Description - Banished is an inky, nearly opaque deep indigo lip gloss. It is laced with a beautiful violet interference and a burst of gorgeous purple sparkles. Used sparsely, Banished is a fantastic layering gloss that adds a little vamp and oomph to your lighter toned colors, but can be easily built up to full opacity.Banished is a sweet treat to wear with its tasty buttercream frosting flavoring. Really pops and gets great wear time when paired with a lip primer.

My Description - A Deep blue/purple gloss with purple glitter, sweet flavout mod to full opacity.

Benevolent

GCC Description - A soft, yet vibrant cool-toned bubblegum pink lip gloss. It is a sassy explosion of a whole rainbow of sparkles in minty green, vibrant violet, a splash of aqua, all intermingled with holo sparkle too! Benevolent has a secret side to it. When in the right light it has an incredible spring green shift that almost appears to float on top of the pink. It goes on nearly opaque and tastes like a sweet mint julep

My Description - A Bright bubblegum Pink with holo-sparkle mod to full opaque with a miny taste.

 

 Overall i feel this is quite a cute collection! the colours are all fairly true to the character, I DO feel something is missing but cant put my finger on it... maybe if there was an additional shadow more neutral to tie it all together?

 

What was your favourite colour in this collection?

Final thoughts: Overall I enjoy this collection and while I am a self-confessed glitter addict I feel a green pigment would have helped tie the whole collection together. The glosses really require a smooth primed lip to glide on and not grab at flaky lips in a way remnding me of Matte lipsticks. A Sticky base like DG glitterglue or Fyrinnae PE is deff recommended.

 Hey Ya'll

 

Lets take a look a Geek Chic Cosmetics Joy Stick in Hipster Ariel today shall we? great idea ^_^

OK so lets talk lippys first now I KNOW we ALL own at least one pink,red,orange and nude lippy but not many of us wear bright lippys it seems to be a status quo thing which sucks coz Hipster Ariel is an AMAZING opaque metallic blue lipstick. For being a bold colour Hipster Ariel is not drying on the lip as it has moisturizing Jojoba Oil and Vitamin E in its formula, the Joystick is also mint flavoured which I personally find nice =)

 

The overall shape of the joystick isnt ideal for a perfect application in my opinion Hipster ariel is BEST applied with a lip brush (whick i have done in the lip swatches below). If you like Hipster Ariel you can purchase it on the Geek Chic Cosmetics webstore for $5.99 USD.

 

 

 

Product description

GCC Description - A rich, opaque, pearlescent teal.

My Description - A opaque metallic bright blue.

Geek Chic Cosmetics - Wuv Twue Wuv Solid Scent

Hey All,

so I am back today with a mini review =) I got some Geek Chic Cosmetics (GCC for short) mail with some perfumes =) I ordered 3 solid scents and am doing a mini review on each after testing ect =)

Today I bring you Wuv Twue Wuv according to GCC this scent is

This scent evokes visions of springtime and the summer love that follows. Freesias, frangipanis and plumerias sprout from under raspberry roots, breathing the citrus-laden air of melons, cherries, apples and pears.

For me PERSONALLY while I do like this scent I find it is more Melon scented them anything else. it is a nice scent for an everyday use I find I generally get about a good 4 hrs scent time by applying it to my pulse points (wrists, elbows, behind the ears, back of knees) its light and not over powering.

When it comes to packaging it is a solid perfume in a tube which twists up, in my Opinion it’s not a Greasy formula I get no staining on clothing or fabrics. And it great I do not need to apply with my fingers =) NOTE: if left in heated areas (eg pockets, cars ect) the product WILL melt)

Over all I would recommend this Solid scent to anyone after a fun summer fresh scent =)

Nowww the nity grity this scent retails at UDS $3.49 with .07 oz of product i have used min almost every day for 9 days and still have LOADS of product =)

 NOTE: also a bonus GCC is having a mini sale 25% off yay
also in the photos are the other 2 scents =)

Final thoughts: the only reason the scent score is average is because I can’t REALLY smell the other fragrances (nor can my sister and Boyfriend) however in saying that it is a NICE melon smell, I love how its packaged as I can keep it in my purse and apply as needed no large bottles or pans I need to use my fingers to apply =)
