Maybelline Colour Tattoo Eyeshadow Review

Hi Guys, its Autumn,

So everyone has been raving about the Maybelline colour tattoo eye-shadow for a while now, so I thought I’d give them a go and see what all the fuss is about. And I can completely see why everyone loves them! Now I'm not a cream make-up person, but I have to say these cream eye-shadow are beautiful. They apply amazing, great range of colours, great pigmentation and they last a long long time, what more could you want from an eye-shadow. They are only £4.99

So the first one I tried is a pinkie, rose gold colour. It’s quite a subtle colour, but it’s a perfect subtle colour. I reckon you could you could build it more if you wanted. its for those days where you don't want anything to bold or dramatic just a simple shadow with a bit of shimmer. 

65 - Pink Gold

Now this one is my least favourite of the 4 I brought purely because it didn't apply as nicely as the others, it was a bit too patchy for my liking (as you can probably see in the photo), but maybe that’s how its suppose to apply. Don’t get me wrong it is still an amazing colour; I don’t own a gold eye-shadow quite like it. However I am still going to continue to wear it just maybe not on its own, I’ll probably have a base underneath it as well.

75 - 24k Gold

This eye-shadow is a matte grey/brown colour, and is really good as a base for darker browns powder eye-shadow. It’s a bit harder to apply because it’s a tad more solid than the other shimmery colours. But I guess you could still use it as your main colour, depending on the look you wanted. Over all it’s a good colour

40 – Permanent Taupe

Saving the best one till last, this one if by far my favourite one. It’s a dark bronzy colour. I can’t fault this particular one. I love the colour because you can have it as it is and it’ll look stunning or you can add to it and it look stunning. So far I've worn this as my everyday colour too school because it’s so quick to apply and look amazing.

35 – On and on Bronze

My Top 6 Blushes.

Hi guys, its autumn,

For this week’s blog post, I thought I’d share my Top 6 Blushes with you. Now I have to admit I'm not a massive fan of blushes, quite often I’ll completely forget about them when I'm applying my make-up each morning.  I do however have quite a wide range of different blushes, but that’s mainly down to the fact that I still haven’t found one that I'm 100% happy with yet (my signature blush, if you will). But I shall continue to hunt for that perfect blush, that is out there somewhere with my name on. I'm defiantly more of a contour girl than a blush. 

So in at number 6 is a blush from ‘Bourjois’

Healthy Mix, bonne mine 41

£7.99

This is a cute little blush, perfect for carrying around in your handbag. Which is probably one of the only reason I use this, I don’t like to carry around big chunky make-up items in my make-up bag or handbag, I prefer to keep things minimal. So because I don’t have any other blushes this size, it becomes my go to blush for traveling. I'm not saying it’s a bad product at all, but like I said earlier I'm not a massive fan of blushes. 

At number  5 we have a Blush from ‘Max Factor’  

Flawless Perfection, 223 Natural Glow.

£6.99

As you can see there is a compartment for a small blush brush, but I tend to take them out as I don’t use them and they just get in the way.

Now for a high street blush, this is pretty good one, it’s a bit dark for my liking but the store I go too they only had 2 choices. It is highly pigmented and gorgeous dark pinkie colour. I don’t wear it as much as I would like to but I defiantly think it’s more of a winter/fall colour because it is a little dark, but that’s just my opinion.

Number 4, is a Blush by’ Mac’

Pro Longwear Blush, Rosy Outlook.

£20.00

Many of you will be surprised to see a ‘Mac’ product at number 4 and not at number 1, because most people rate all ‘Mac’ products very highly. Now I'm not saying it’s a bad product because if it was then it wouldn't make it into my top 6; but I'm not saying it my favourite blush either. The reason why it is in my top 6 is because it is still a very good quality blush, and on the right days can look quite nice. I guess what I'm trying to say is that me and this blush have a love, hate relationship, some days it look horrendous on me, but on days that it wants to cooperate then it looks stunning, if I do say myself. As you can expect it is highly, highly pigmented, and lasts a long time. 

Number 3 is a blush from ‘Estee Lauder’

Pure colour blush, Mauve Mystique Shimmer  16.

£27.00

This blush is undoubtedly a gorgeous colour! It’s such a deep red/pink colour, it’s almost perfect. Which is why it has to be in my top 6, the reason why it isn’t at number one is because it isn’t my most used blush. I really don’t wear it enough if I’m honest, but as you can see it’s such a bold daring colour, you have to be in the mood to wear it comfortably.  It’s a tiny bit darker than the max factor blush. I would recommend any of the ‘Estee Lauder’ blushes to anyone, because they are such good quality and there is a colour for everyone. The photo doesn’t do it justice, it sparkles so much.

Number 2 is a blush by ‘No7’

Natural blush tint powder, soft damson.

£8.00

I am quite a pale person, which is why I don’t wear darker blushes too often. I tend to go for the lighter pinks for a few reason, first of all because I feel more comfortable wearing them, secondly because they are more everyday colours. They give your cheeks just that hint of colour nothing to dramatic, just simple, pretty and pink. And thirdly because I love love love to wear dark or bold lips, so having a light pink blush just completes the look. And for the price it is, it’s a bargin.

Finally at number 1 it is the gorgeous blush from ‘benefit’

Dandelion

£23.50

Well as you can see I have hit pan severally on this blush, which can only mean one thing… it’s been well loved. This was my first ever high end product, and it was brought for me by my mum on one of our girly days out. This is the perfect colour for me; it’s got a hint of colour, a tiny bit of shimmer and lasts for ages and ages. Now I am not the biggest fan of benefit if I'm honest, but I do have to give them credit for their dandelion blush because it its utterly perfect.
