Review: Maybelline 24h Colour Tattoo in Eternal Gold

Last weekend, I got my hands on a Maybelline Colour Tattoo, and have been using for the past few days, so that I could do a review of it.

The packaging is very sleek and sturdy, with a similar look to MAC Paint Pots and Benefit Creasless Cream Eyeshadows. Although, the magnified glass bottom can be a bit misleading, as it leads you to presume that there is more than 4g in the pot! But with such a lovely product, we can look past that, cant we?!

The name says that these eyeshadows will last for 24 hours. Firstly, who needs makeup to last for 24 hours? I personally like to wash my face twice in that time period! But because it is said to last for 24 hours, it means it will last for the whole working day, without a problem.

The pot is a little bit larger than the Benefit Cream Eyeshadow, meaning you are getting a bit more product, and the price is considerably cheaper! When it claims to last all day, it really does! I have incredibly oily lids, and it lasted well with and without primer. Usually, even with my Urban Decay Primer Potion, powder eyeshadow will have creased at around the 6 hour mark, but this has really exceeded its expectation!

This picture portrays pretty well the gorgeous colour. It is a beautiful gold, very similar to Urban Decay Half Baked when on the lids. It is incredibly pigmented, and a little goes a long way. I got so many compliments when I was wearing it, and its the perfect eye product for summer, as you don't need to worry about topping it up!

You can see here, the amazing pigmentation! The colour is so lovely- I think I am a little bit in love!

It is such a bargain at £4.99, with competing products priced at around £14, and in my eyes, this is really up there with the high end products!

I will defiantly be investing in the Bronze shade as they are so great!

Have you tried one? What are your thoughts?

Just a Small Haul...

Hasn't the weather been lovely this weekend?! I'm sat outside in shorts as I speak! Summers defiantly on its way, and yesterday, I popped into town. Originally looking for the Revlon Lip Butters, which are still not available. (Damn living in a small town)! But I did come across something else I have been trying to get hold of for a while- a Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24h Cream Gel Shadow!

You've seen enough of my FOTD's to know that gold is my favourite colour to wear on my eye lids, so it will come as no surprise that I got it in the gold shade!

In America, and everywhere else that these were, before the UK release, this shade was going under the name of Bold Gold, but it seems to have changed to Eternal Gold. I'm not sure if its just for the UK or they changed the name? But it is a lovely colour never the less!

I haven't tried it yet, so rest assured, there will be an upcoming review of me giving you my two penny's worth!

I also have my eye on the bronze colour, and the matte taupe, (although they didn't have it in my local Superdrug) and they are only priced at £4.99. Which compared to the Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow (£14) and MAC Paint Pots (£13.50) they are a bargain!

I also popped into Primark, and my friend spotted a top that she knew I would love! My favourite animal (well bird) is an owl, and this is the top she found.

Its a cropped T-shirt with kind of frills on the hem and sleeves and the owls are just so cute! And it was only £4!

And then whilst browsing  the jewellery, I saw these, and after seeing just one pair of them, I knew I had to have them!

The middle ones on the top row are the pair that I had to have. My dad is a guards man (grenadier guard).

They're all adorable and great for this year with the Olympics and Diamond Jubilee coming up!

These were £2 for all six pairs.

I didn't get a lot, but I'm pleased with what I did get!

Have you tried the Maybelline Colour Tattoo's?
