Color Tattoo Metal Collection

Hello Everyone!

 

I would like to start of by apologizing for the lack of blogging I have done this week. This was a rather hectic week for me since I had a lot going on at the same time. Some of you may know but I started my second year of University this week. Between trying to adjust my schedule for classes, trying not to get lost on campus, dealing with horrible weather and did I mention trying not to get lost, I didn't really have time to blog. However now that my first week is over I am much more comfortable in my classes and can restart my blogging as usual!

 

Another reason behind my lack of blogging was my anxiety. It has been much worse this past month or so and I am not too sure why. Dealing with all that I had to deal with plus my anxiety was rather difficult, but I am getting through it.

 

Well, let's get started!

 

Maybelline Color Tattoo Metal 24 hr Eyeshadows

I have already done a review on Maybelline's Color Tattoos here, but they recently released the Metal Collection which offered some new colors that I very much enjoyed. Since I like very neutral colors on my eyes, I only bought two of the new original Color Tattoos. In the Metal Collection I fell in love with these two new colors. Barely Branded (70) is a beautiful champagne color and Inked in Pink (55) is a pretty pink color (shocker haha!). I love using these two as bases for my eye and they really make my eye makeup look so much better. When I use Barely Branded I will either apply it all over my lid and then apply a very neutral color like Toast from Sleek on top, or I will use it in the inner corners of my eyes to brighten them. I love using Inked in Pink on lazy days when I just want a quick splash of color on my lids and just apply it all over.

 

The quality of these cream shadows is UHHMAZING! They stay on my lids all day and I don't have to worry about touching them up throughout the day. The packaging is perfect since the clear jar allows you to see what color you are getting and they are small enough to just throw in your handbag to take on the go. The price is very reasonable for the quality that you get from these products. They are around $6 and can be found in most drugstores.

 

Hope you enjoyed this post :)

Covergirl Flamed Out Shadow Pots

Hello Everyone!

 

Covergirl recently released their Flamed Out Collection consisting of shadow pots, mascara and shadow pencils.

These are the Covergirl Flamed Out Shadow Pots. I decided to play it safe and try some neutral colors because they really did look beautiful. I really enjoy the packaging of the shadow pots. The clear lid allows you to see the color that you are picking. They are compact and easy to throw in your makeup bag to take on the go. Now there have been some mixed reviews when it comes to these shadow pots, but I really like them. They have beautiful color payoff and durability. The shimmer isn't overpowering and they blend amazingly. They are available in 12 different shades and the darker ones are really lovely. Shade 355 is a deep, rich bronze and shade 330 is a golden bronze.

 

One problem that I have seen is that they do have a slight fall out, but there are simple ways to take care of this. My favorite thing to do is to use them wet. Not only does this help take care of the fall out, but it helps to intensify the color like in the picture above. You can also use a sticky or cream base in order to help it stay on the lid. Lastly, you can do your eyes before you apply foundation. You can quickly clean up the mess and the problem is solved. (Tip: Tap the brush to help get the loose eye shadow off the brush). For $3.94 at Walmart, these really are great shadow pots.

 

Hope you enjoyed this review :)

Big thank you for my 81 followers! It means the world to me to have you all enjoy what I love to do.

 



Sleek Limited Edition ShowStoppers i-Divine Palette

When it comes to eyeshadow, I am more of a neutral girl. I tend to lean more towards browns and light colors for some odd reason. I don't know why, it's just something I've always preferred.

 

I was a little worried about this palette because some of the colors seemed to be out of my comfort zone, but I purchased it anyways. I must say that I am so very glad that I did.

 

 

This Sleek Limited Edition Showstoppers i-Divine Palette is just so beautiful to look at. Like most of Sleek palettes, this is a combination of matte and shimmery eyeshadows. The colors are so different, but come together to make an amazing palette. There is not one color that I don't like, or haven't used in this palette.

 

The quality of Sleek eyeshadows is unbelievable for their price. This palette was $9.99, which is super inexpensive since you are getting 12 eyeshadows and a large mirror. These eyeshadows are super pigmented and easy to blend. They aren't chalky or extremely powdery. These are some of the best eyshadows that I have ever tried and give high-end brands a run for their money

 

 

Hope you enjoyed this post :)

What are your favorite palettes?

Maybelline New York Color Tattoo Review

 

Maybelline New York Color Tattoo By EyeStudio 24hr Eye Shadow

25-Bad to the Bronze

 

After much deliberation with myself (weird much?), I finally gave in and decided to try out this color tattoo. I had been so hesitant to try it because I haven't had any cream shadows that I really enjoyed, so I had completely given up hope on them. There has been so much positive feedback from this product that I had to try it out.

 

I am so glad that I tried out this eye shadow!

 

First of all, the name of this eye shadow is adorable and super clever. I immediately loved the creaminess of this color tattoo. Unlike other cream shadows, it wasn't flaky or dry to the point where it was impossible to work with. It makes an amazing base for other shadows and it is also beautiful on its own for a quick look. When I want to make a very neutral eye, I will just apply this all over my lid and I'm ready to go. If I want a more dramatic look, I will use this as a base and apply darker shades on top. With the shadow being so creamy, it is really easy to blend with other shadows.

 

The best thing, by far, is how long this product lasts. I literally put this on early in the morning and don't have to worry about it not being there when I get home at night. (Let it be known that I live in a very humid and hot area in Texas) It also does not smear or fade away with humidity which makes it 100 times better for me.

 

I hope you enjoyed my review :) What are your thoughts on this product?? Let me know!
