Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Bad to the bronze: Review and Swatches

I tried to resist the temptation of buying a Maybelline colour tattoo for about 1-2 months. I surprisingly managed to keep my record up till I walked into boots yesterday to find Maybelline products are 3 for 2. I immediately picked up the colour tattoo in bad to the Bronze and 1 Maybelline lipsticks.



Out of the 6 shades available in the UK, i found myself interested in only the shade in "Bad to the Bronze". It’s a very versatile colour which would look flattering on most skin tones. It will also compliment as a base colour for everyday neutral and dramatic looks.



 Bad to the Bronze is a shimmery bronze colour but it doesn’t contain any glitter; making it possible to use in on an everyday basis.  After you apply it does take a while to set in place, but once it sets it doesn’t budge one bit. The wear time is impressive and would last on your eyelid all day (unless if you have an oily eyelid - i would recommend wearing a primer beforehand).



I am really happy with this purchase and for £5 it’s definitely a steal! I would definitely buy more of the colour tattoos. Have you guys tried any of the colour tattoos?

MUA Trio in Chocolate Box: Review & swatches

Today's product review is about the MUA Baked Eyeshadow Trio in "chocolate box". The name is so adorable that I couldn't resist to walk away from it. The shades in all the MUA trio's look stunning together ( and the size of the trio is great for travelling).




Chocolate box had a perfect combination of two taupe colours and a pinky peach colour.





The shadows aren't chalky and blend easily and match high end eyeshadows I've tried. The wear time isn't the greatest, but over a primer it should last all day. The trio costs £2.50 which is a very reasonable price for highly pigmented baked eyeshadows. Have you guys tried any MUA products?

Bourjois Blush in 33 Lilas D'or : Swatches and Review

My go to Blush this summer is the bourjois Paris blush in 33 lilias d'or. The bourjois paris blush range is huge; therefore catering for many peoples skin tones and preferences. It's a pink blush with gorgeous golden undertones and looks perfect on tanned and medium skin tones. The blush can be applied sheer to have a peach colour pay off.
The blush also contains golden glitter, but it is so thin it just leaves a glowy sheen to the skin. This blush can easily be used as a highlight for medium to dark skin tones.

I'm not a fan of the brush it comes with, but it's nice to know they offered something.



For £7.49 it's reasonable as I've been using this blush for about a year and still have a lot left. And for the colour payoff and wear time I think the blush is worth the money !
