Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo Eyeshadow Review

What can I say? These eyeshadows blew me away with their long lasting capabilities. It is a cream/gel based eyeshadow that can be smoothed on with your finger tip for crease proof color that doesn't fade. It comes in 10 gorgeous colors ranging from a vibrant teal to a dark asphalt black. Like I mentioned in the Walgreens Haul post, I swatched these on my hand and they didn't come off at all when I rubbed at it. I am not kidding when I say these really are tattoo like. It was still on my hand the next morning even after I had washed my face and had my hands in water. I suppose a good makeup remover will be needed to remove this. The Colors I chose were the Bold Gold and Tough as Taupe which are pretty neutrals that I know I'll get a lot of use out of using them as bases. I found these at Walgreens but they are also available at Ulta, and a select few at Target going for $6-7 depending where you get it. They are buy one get one 50% off at Walgreens and Utla, so get them while they're hot! ;)

Walgreens Haul

Previously mentioned in my last post, I placed an order online at Walgreens. A bunch of their products were buy one get one 50% off! Below is what I got.

Maybelline Baby Lips: I think almost everyone has heard of and used Baby Lips. They recently came out with more colors, so I of course grabbed a few. I previously owned the blue one which is a basic white/clear, and the green which is the same but has a SPF added. I chose the new ones in Peach Kiss, and Pink Punch. I tried to swatch them on my hand and found that they hardly show up at all which is fine by me because I love using these as a chapstick because they're so moisturizing and soft!

Maybelline Eyestudio Color Tattoo 24 Hour Eyeshadow: I have seen a lot of these used in youtube tutorials and finally got some of my own. I went with semi neutral colors, Bold Gold and Tough As Taupe. When I swatched them on my hand, and tried to wipe it off, it did not budge! I like that about these considering there are so many times when I touch or wipe my eye forgetting I have eyeshadow on so it will be nice to have something that won't smear or wipe away if that were to happen.

Rimmel London Show Off Lip Lacquer: These look like they would be sheer glosses, but they are anything but! They are so opaque and beautiful on. It does feel creamy like a gloss, but looks like a shiny lipstick. A lot of the colors online were not available, so I got the 4 that were. Those colors were Out Of This World, Apocaliptic, Nude Eclipse, and Big Bang. The Big Bang one is a vibrant red and not pictured because it was not shipped with the package for reasons unknown to me. Hopefully it arrives soon because I think I'll love it the most.

The Cosmopolitan magazine was not from Walgreens. ;)

I did not provide the swatches because I plan on doing reviews on the Color Tattoo and the Lip Lacquers separately. I will go more into detail in those posts. 

Until next time!♥

Kat Von D Ladybird True Romance Palette Review

This is my first purchase from the Kat Von D line and like I expected, it did not disappoint. It didn't oil up and crease during the day like a lot of eye shadows tend to do. I love that it is formulated without paragens, and has ingredients that include vitamin E, rose extract, and conditioning oils that keep your skin feeling smooth. 

The colors are perfect for a smokey eye, or neutral eye. They are rich, pigmented, long lasting and easily blendable. The palette starts with a beautiful deep purple called Für Elise, and continues with Vespertine, Renholdër, Siouxsie-sioux, Unrequited, Harlow, Wölf, and Cleopatra. It also comes with a mini dark brown eyeliner called Immortal Love. The colors are very versatile and wearable for any eye color. 

The packaging is so cute and easily portable. Is it cliche that it reminds me of tattoos? I just really like this palette and know I will got a lot of use out of it! :)

Do you have any Kat Von D products? I'm interested in more!
