Maybelline Colour Tattoo - Timeless Black | Review beauty | color tattoo | eyeliner | eyeshadow | maybelline | review | timeless black | whenflowersfall

Oh, Maybelline Colour Tattoos, I love you.

It's taken me a good while, but I have finally purchased the shade 'Timeless Black'. You guys should know about my love for these products by now, and this one does not disappoint.
I don't think I'll ever use this as an eyeshadow base, unless the look really calls for it. I bought it with the hopes that it would make a great gel eyeliner alternative, and boy does it!
I've never really had much luck with gel eyeliners, I find they can drag on the skin and dry out really quickly. This on the other had is perfectly smooth, and the formula is just wet enough to make some nice precise lines and points.
As with most of the colour tattoos (all bar a couple of shades), the pigmentation of this is excellent. I absolutely love the addition of the teeny tiny blue flecks. It was only when I took these photos that I realised they were there, and I had to go back and really look closely. The beauty of it is, is that it gives the product a tad more dimension without really trying. On the eyes it looks strong and bold, but not completely flat and matte. I love it.
Another bonus to using this as an eyeliner is it's longevity. It will last all day long, and I'd even say it would wear well into the night too if you needed it too. I actually have to really work to remove this at the end of the day. Massive thumbs up.

Because of this product, I have found my love for strong eyeliner all over again. It was lost for a little while, but it sure is back now!

You can purchase this at any Superdrug or Boots.
I picked mine up for an insane £1.50 at Fragrance Direct.

January Beauty Wishlist barry m | beauty | blogger | botanics | color tattoo | fall | flowers | gelly | january | kate moss | la roche-posay | lipsticks | maybelline | nails | polish | rimmel | when | whenflowersfall | wishlist

It's been a little while since I last did a wishlist post, and seeing as I have made a few pennies today, I figured, why not do one. 

Believe me, these pennies are burning a lovely big hole in my pocket, but due to my car tax being due next month, these items will just have to stay on my wishlist a little longer. 

La Roche-Posay Micellar Solution - I recently saw Rachel 'Notes from my closet' talk about this product in a recent video, and I have to admit, she completely sold it to me. I'm coming to the end of my trusty cleanser and I think it may be time to try something new. I've heard so many good things about La roche-posay products recently, that now I just can't stop browsing online.

Botanics Face Brush - Another blogger/youtuber is the reason I now want this. Zoe (Zoella) recently showed in a haul that she had bought this. I've always been one to use a face cloth when removing my make up in the evening, but recently I've been craving for a clarisonic, or something of that sort. I just can't talk myself into spending that kind of money on something I wash my face with. So this is a great alternative. Yes it's manual and you have to do some of the work, but it pretty much works the same way.

Barry M Gelly Polishes - If you know me, then you will know that I love my Barry M nail polishes. So far, I only have one colour from the Gelly range, and I really think it's time to start adding some more Spring/Summery colours to my collection. (Getting too ahead of myself?) At the moment I'm lusting after Grapefruit, Pickly Pear and Blueberry. (L-R)

Kate Moss Lipsticks - Another range that I'm currently obsessed with, is the Kate Moss Rimmel lipsticks. I currently have four other colours and as with the nail polishes, I'm dying to pick up a few more shades. Right now, I'm wanting matte shade Beige and also shade 20.

Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoos - The last product I'd like to expand my collection of is the best (in my opinion) eyeshadow bases/cream eyeshadows of last year. Permanent Taupe is one of those shades that everyone talks about, I just haven't come across it in a store yet. Endless Purple is just a gorgeous colour and I think it would be perfect for the Summer. 

As much as I love all of the snow that we're having at the moment, I think I'm over the Winter trends, make -up wise. I'm definitely ready for some bright girly colours and clear skin. 

What are you lusting over at the moment?

Hi, my lovelies!

It's been a little while since I last did a little product review. 

Today, I'm sharing with you a new favourite of mine. The Maybelline colour tattoo cream eye shadow in Pink gold. 

When these products first popped up on the shelves I did pick up three shades, but when I recently saw this one appear I knew I had to have it straight away. 

I've been a little on the fence about these products, I find that certain shades apply better than others , but this one applies like a dream. I usually apply it with a brush, but it as just as easily applied with your fingers. 

The consistency of the eye shadow is perfectly smooth and blends really well! 

I've heard a couple of people say that they think the colour of this product makes them look a little tired or ill, but if you do like a soft eye or something quite natural looking, I feel this is the perfect eyeshadow for you.

Like myself, you can either wear this alone or as a base for a different colour/product.

Just as Maybelline claims, this product does last a very long time. I can't say that I have tested it out for a full twenty four hours, but I can vouch for a good sixteen at least. 

I absolutely adore the packaging. The glass may not be ideal if you travel a lot as it can be slightly heavier, but I do think it gives a more 'expensive' feel. 

As with the rest of the colour tattoos, this product is sold for £4.99 and you can pick it up at any Boots or Superdrug store that stocks Maybelline products.

I recently went on the hunt for the little babies on my trip to Leeds the other day. 

Apart from a couple of beat up squished ones, these were the only three left in the Superdrug that had them. 

Luckily, these are three of the colours I would have picked up anyway. I'd still like to get my paws on the taupe and the purple.

Since purchasing these, I have used them as an all over lid colour and an eye liner. Just like the name suggest, they have incredible staying power and I can only say the gold colour creased very very slightly once I had worn it all day in very warm weather. Other than that, they barely budge!

Even though these colours have amazing pigmentation themselves, they would also make great bases for any powder eye shadows, very much like the MAC paint pots. 

I purchased my Color Tattoos for £4.99 each in Superdrug and at the time they were on a 3 for 2 offer, which was a bonus.
