Jumping in late (LJ blocked at work so I forget to check my feed), but...
Yes, Geek Chic! :D I ordered from them on Black Friday, too. (I have learned, through trial and error, that their blush formula is VERY pigmented and I need to use a very, very light hand when applying.)
Anyway. If you have makeup questions, let me know. I was late to the makeup train, too (mid-20s) and have tons of tips/tricks/info if you need it. I totally get where you're coming from. :)
Oh! If you don't already have one, get a primer (Too Faced Shadow Insurance or Urban Decay's Primer Potion are good go-to options) -- it will make the loose shadows work MUCH better, and generally give a much more impressive color payoff. [Side note: red eyeshadows will stain your lids. Do not use red if you plan on requiring a nude or subtle look the next day. Trust me. Or lie about hayfever symptoms.]
