Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoos

So I know I'm quite late getting these, I've been meaning to buy them for a while but never got round to it. But when maybelline products were on offer at 3 for 2 I thought that was my chance!
I bought the colours 'Pink Gold', 'On and On Bronze' and 'Permanent Taupe'. They were a good price at £4.99 per pot.




'Pink Gold' is a pretty, shimmery pale pink. I don't usually like pink eyeshadow but this is really subtle and I like to wear it with Mac Satin eyeshadow in 'Shale' but it goes with quite a few colours. It's a nice colour to wear during the day.

Pink Gold 

'On and On Bronze' is also a warm, shimmery gold colour. It looks really pretty and it brings out brown eyes as well.  It's a pretty colour to wear in the evenings.

On and On Bronze 

'Permanent Taupe' is a bit different as it's a matte colour which I think I prefer. It's a smokey grey/brown colour and I think it will look lovely on. 

Permanent Taupe

The colours are really pigmented and, although I've only tried pink gold so far, it lasted all day which is perfect! I know it claims to be creaseless, I found that there were a few light creases but better than other cream eyeshadows.

Overall, I would definitely recommend these! The colours are gorgeous, they're long lasting, easy to apply and really pigmented! I will be going back to buy more soon.


Thanks for reading!

I would love to hear from you, I really appreciate comments and would be happy to return the favour :)

My Everyday Makeup

I have A LOT of makeup, I probably don't need all of it but I like having lots of different things to experiment with!
I do change what makeup I wear but here is the makeup I use on a day to day basis.

1. Garnier B.B Cream Miracle Skin Perfector: For Combination to Oily Skin
I use this everyday and I don't know what I would do without it! I have very fair skin and struggle to find something light enough for me but this is the perfect colour! It's also great as it is a light coverage but still conceals spots and blemishes well (with the help of concealer). It's also lasted a really long time which I was quite surprised about, I've had it almost 6 months now and it's only just run out!

£9.99

2. Soap & Glory Kick Ass Concealer 
I love love love this concealer! It's really cute packaging and I love how there's two different shades for spots and for under your eyes. The setting powder makes it last longer as well. And it's got a mirror! My only problem is that the lid has fallen off but that's because I dropped it twice. 
£10 

3. Sleek Face Form Kit 
I bought this quite recently but I'm completely addicted. The packaging is really neat and it comes with matte contouring powder, highlighter and rose gold blush. The colours are really pigmented (especially the blush) but they still look really natural and subtle when applied. 

£10

4. Topshop Golden Aura Eye Palette
I've mentioned this before so I won't say too much about this, just that I use this everyday and the colours are so natural and warm. I also use the colours as an eyeliner sometimes.

£12 

5. Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner 
I bought this after I read so many positive reviews about it! I was a bit nervous about using gel eyeliner but now I've started I hardly ever use anything else! It comes with a brush which makes application so easy and it can either be built up to create a thick line or you can also create a really thin delicate line with it as well. Perfect for cat eyes! It lasts a really long time as well, it doesn't budge all day! It doesn't dry out either.

£7.99

6. Topshop Mascara
I don't think Topshop sells this mascara anymore and I got it for free in a deal (sorry that's really unhelpful) but I can really recommend Topshop mascaras in general. The wand is really good and makes application easy. It really lengthens my eyelashes and they still look natural. It's not great for volume though but on the whole, it's brilliant!


7. No7 Extreme Length Waterproof Mascara
I have a mini version of this mascara which I got in a deal boots had recently. The wand is quite thin so it's perfect for my lower lashes but I also really like using it in the summer as its waterproof so it doesn't budge in heat/humidity or in water (obviously)! It looks so natural and pretty and I will definitely be buying this again.
£12.50

8. Topshop Lips in Infrared
I've seen so many beauty bloggers rave about this so I thought I would give it a go! I'm not a fan of really bright pink lipsticks just because I don't think they suit me very well. I tend to opt for more natural, peachy colours or orange/coral colours so this was perfect for me! I love this lipstick so much as it can be worn during the day or in the evening. It's really pigmented as well! My only complaint is that it's not particularly long lasting so I do need to top it up regularly throughout the day. 

£8

9. Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer in  Luna 
I probably use this more than my Topshop lipstick because it goes with everything! I'm not a big fan of lip gloss so wasn't sure if I would like this but it's not sticky at all, it feels like there's nothing on your lips! The colour's really pretty and natural and I love the packaging. The only problem is the application is not particularly easy without a mirror and it takes a while to cover the whole of my lips. 

£6.49

Makeup bag, Soap & Glory , £10


Okay so that's everything! I hope you enjoyed reading this!
