Maybelline Colour Tattoo's xx

Blue

Yesterday I picked up the Maybelline Color Tattoo's.
I got the colours 20 Painted Purple, 25 Bad to the Bronze and 40 Tenacious Teal.

When purchasing in store, I was really disappointed with my local Priceline.
All the swatches had dried up, and because of that, I purchase because of colours that "looked nice" and I will explain why in a minute, why I was disappointed.


I love the packaging kind of. I have found a lot of the packaging labels were very off center, more so the ones on the bottom, which I did not take a photo of, oops. This is really due to mass production. I hate it though, as a blogger, products I love and blog about, I want to showcase them at their best. No biggy, but I do love they fact they are glass pots.


I love these a fair bit as eye shadow bases or just alone. Once it's on, it's set and doesn't budge.
Yesterday, I walked down the street with it, and with the minor sweat, no budging. Even removal with eye makeup remover was a bit hard to make it budge.

I was really really happy with my brown and blue colour, BUT I wish I had the chance to swatch the purple in real life properly. I love the shimmery-ness in these, which is half the reason I got them. I will be using them as a lid colour.
In the pot, it looked like a gorgeous deep purple. When I got home, It was nothing like it.
I had almost no shimmer like the blue and brown, and I actually found the purple to be a bit patchy during application. It was nothing like the other two.

You may not be able to tell in these photo's but in the pot it looks to be a nice deep phantom purple. Once I swatch or use it, it goes almost to a lavender colour. I have also noticed that it loves the little lines in the skin, and I had to layer it to get a good colour.

I will see how I go with this product a bit further down the track.
If it doesn't improve within the next couple days I will be returning this product.
In my full review, I will post how I have gone with this certain colour and whether I have returned it or not.

Purple Eye Tutorial

Current Favorites

So today I am finally sharing my post on how I did this Purple Makeup Look!


So firstly I have used the maybelline super stay 24hr concealer as pictured above all over my lids.
This will help to create an even surface and hide the veins under the lids.





I have then used three shades. I used the darker purple which is in the first photo through my crease.
I have used the Black from the second photo on my outer v (outer corner in a v shape) to darken the crease line creating more depth and to smoke it out so the colours don't look "flat"
I have then used the lighter purple from the bottom of the 3 photo's all over the lid.
Then I used the dark purple and light purple mixed together on a angled brush to line my lower lash line. Make sure you get as close to the lashes but not on the waterline!

I have used the Essence eyebrow pencil, as pictures in the very top photo, to fill in my brows.
I used the Models Prefer Black Eyeliner on a Bullet Brush to smoke out my colour more on the upper lash line near where I placed the black eyeshadow.
I have then used my Model Prefer Brow Highlight for not my Brows, but my water line to brighten my eyes. Last but not least, I used a Mascara. I have used the MaXfactor Masterpiece MAX.


I have then used a mix of my Garnier BB Cream and Maybelline Fit Me Foundation to create my base.
I used this on a pointed foundation brush.
I blended lightly from the nose outwards.
I forgot to picture this, but I set my base with the Kett Cosmetics Translucent Powder.


I have then used my Revlon Blush in i think 050 Berry Rich


Then for my lips I used my Klara Cosmetics Kiss Proof Lips in 02 with a Models Prefer Lipstick over the top in Fresh Faced.


I hope you have all enjoyed this look!

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain

Balm Stains
Yesterday I had picked up a Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain from Target in the colour 010 Darling Cherie.

This is my first ever experiance with the Revlon Blam Stains and to be perfectly honest, I don't think you get very much bang for your buck with these... It seriously smells as though it has beeswax in it, which may explain why when I used it I get a minor tingle/burning sensation on the lips... Do they have beeswax? If they do I am so not impressed... If they don't, I'm still not impressed at all as I shouldn't get that irritation from a normal balm Yuck!

The colour pay off with this purple one was not so great either. The lack of pigmentation in this certain balm comes off as dead looking on me... It's weird...

Honestly, I will try another colour in this just to make sure it's not this certain colour. But so far, I am seriously not considering re-purchasing and I do not see the hype over this product.
Thanks for reading again! :)


If you know the ingredients (I cannot find it on the Revlon Website) please tell me if it has beeswax or some sort of mint, and also comment if you have had an issue with this product?

Lots of love guys! xx
