Geek Chic Cosmetics and the Epic Battle of Convention

The wonderful ladies at Geek Chic Cosmetics have contributed 2 sets of their eye shadows for prizes to offer the plethora of lady gamers going to be heading to Guise Knights gaming tables this weekend for Phoenix Comicon. In doing so they sent me a metric butt load of samples from their various shadow lines. Because of their generosity and because I am a sucker for make up. I am going to be using primarily their products this weekend to test them out for color, blending, and stickablity. Essentially this is the ultimate stress test. I will be in the start of summer head (in the triple digits) and I will be running about and working all day, so I am curious as to how they will work. Be on the look out for the full review, for now first impression.

So far working with the eye shadows have been amazing, they are highly pigmented so a little goes quite a long way. The uber fine ground to them means a nice smooth application. The colors on the website don't quite do justice to the colors on the skin. Most of what I wear has a bit of shimmer or glitter in it. The shimmer is well done and the pigments so far done dribble all over your face leaving frustrating streaks.

The lips stick I tried first is "My Little Pwny" A glittery grape purple that appeal to my sense of the absurd. The first issue I have with their lip sticks is mainly a geographic thing. As they are soft for a nice smooth application it does mean that when the box comes from the post office and you live in a warmer state I suggest that you put them in the freezer or fridge. Otherwise you might find yourself with a huge piece of lipstick that has fallen out of the tube.

As I said I am going to forgo my normal make up back and take all the samples to see how they stick up to 14 hour days.
