I love Marlena's (of blog, Simply Marlena) tutorials. Informative, fun to watch and easy to follow. She is also CEO of  Makeup Geek an awesome website that is not only a store, but is described as a cosmetic education website. There are tutorials, reviews, a forum and much more, including selected NYX, MAC, Ben Nye and Sugarpill products. What I really wanted to try was Makeup Geek's own line of cosmetics. On offer from this line include eyeshadows, gel liners, lipsticks and brushes. I decided on just a few eyeshadow pans for starters.  PREPPY : *Neutral matte. CUPCAKE : *Matte medium pink. CINDERELLA : *Shimmery nude pink. TAUPE NOTCH : *Taupe shimmer. COUNTRY GIRL : *Pinky brown shimmer. COCOA BEAR : *Reddish brown. I went for quite a simple look, as this was the reason for the colour selection that I had chosen,  colours that can be worn everyday.
