Review: Maybelline Colour Tattoos


Maybelline - Eye Studio Color Tattoo 24HR Cream Gel Shadow: Boots/superdrug (£4.99) *
Eternal Gold, Permanent Taupe and On and on Bronze


These products have been raved about by EVERYONE in the blogging world and on Youtube, I've had these quite a while and haven't got round to raving about them myself until now! When I first heard about these, I fell in love instantly. I'd always wanted a MAC paint pots just to see what they were like and they seemed easy to wear and use, these are such a good cheap, alternative and for £4.99 compared to the £12.99 MAC charge I instantly know which ones I'd prefer.

The three which I have are On and On Bronze (a rich copper chocolate brown with a gorgeous sheen), Eternal Gold (a gold cream colour) and Permanent Taupe (an almost matte brown). 

The Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24hr shadows are incredibly pigmented gel/cream shadows, I'm not sure whether they last a whole 24 hours as I don't keep make-up on for this long.
Overall I really love these little pots, even now! They are so easy to apply and I usually use my finger to put the colour on the lids, they blend so easily and last so long without smudging or creasing. The consistency of them is smooth and creamy which makes it nicer to apply aswell.

I think the lasting power is amazing, especially as it is a drug-store product and is not high end. 
They're absolutely worth getting, the price is spot on and I reckon they'll last a while too.

I''d highly recommend these shadows, especially if you're looking for a long wearing cream eye shadow. They are so easy to apply and have a great range of shades, the price is amazing considering the quality of the product.

I really hope they bring some more shades out! Will you be picking these up?

Bloggin'


I began blogging in order to be more creative and as an outlet to express my opinions on products I enjoy and just life in general. Beyond blogging, I spend my time eating, seeing my family, friends and my boyfriend and trying to find a job, internship or whatever is out there. But I'm guessing this is the life of a student eh?

I haven't blogged in over 3 weeks because of life basically, having other things to focus on and not having time to photograph products, or just sit down and have a moment with my thoughts and express them online. But now and then I think I need to realise I can't do everything at once, I'm not superman and just need to sit down and type and express my thoughts. This is where blogging is great for myself, its a little place online where I can sit and do this, talk about the things I enjoy and interact with others aswell as letting people read my own rants which my boyfriend or friends might not be interested in!
The direction of my blog is going to change, it seems to just be reviews which is something that I didn't want when I began blogging as I knew this would become a little boring for myself even though from the stats they seem popular but I've decided to try and become a little more personal. Whether this be personal posts with me ranting, make-up reviews, about the music I enjoy or just summing up my week. I also love photography so will try and post more of my own photos which I have taken in the past. Today is the day where change happens! I'm free from university now so can blog more and have more free time. I'm really excited about this and can't wait to try and build more relationships with other bloggers.

I'm making a pledge to blog as myself and about things that I enjoy.
