I think the best way to describe
Geek Chic Cosmetics is to look at one of the "Why Buy Geek" statements on their website: "At Geek Chic Cosmetics we have 2 main passions: all things geeky, and makeup." ... "Everything that we produce at Geek Chic Cosmetics pays homage to the geeky things we love most, and are made with the highest-quality ingredients we could get our D-pad blistered fingers on." That pretty much sums it up! Geek Chic offers some great products and lovely colors {though I admit, I'm not familiar with all of the geekery references, so it's probably even more awesome for those who understand the inspiration behind everything}. But I still appreciate the products themselves, and found some favorites right away.
::: THE SPECS :::
My order consisted of one full-size eyeshadow,
Sexy in Suspenders from the
Timey Wimey collection, for $4.99, which is a 5-gram jar that consists of approximately 1 gram of product measured by net weight. Sexy in Suspenders is described on the product info page as "A pale fawny satin with a bright, unlikely blue highlight and choc full of blue and purple sparkles." I found this description to be completely accurate to the color I received, right down to the blue highlight.
I also ordered 7 samples, but I can't seem to find the listing for the samples right now. Note: the shop is currently on vacation, so make sure you check back again if you're interested in ordering!
Anyway, the samples I chose were: Newb, Bigger on the Inside, Don't Blink, Kingslayer, Bridezilla, Hana Battery and Eyes of the Werewolf. I received Katamari King as a free sample. Shipping was really reasonable, though I didn't keep the details like I should have. I know I received the order on the early end of their TAT, which was nice. Sorry I don't have as many details for this one — just didn't think to keep the info for some reason. *slap my hand*

::: THE OPINIONS :::
My favorites are Sexy in Suspenders, Don't Blink and Katamari King. As you can see, I went with a lot of light shades for this order, and I think the only one I wasn't completely thrilled with was Newb. I thought it would have more shimmer to it, though I'll still use it regardless as it has a nice satin-like finish. Overall I'm pleased with the products, and they all wear without worries. :}
Stay Fabulous!
