Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoo

I love a good eye shadow particularly one that claims it can stay around all day. A lot of my week or the latter half is taken up with work in the day and activities at night time (Guide leader on a wednesday, slimming world on a thursday and choir practice on a friday) and there is nothing worse than an eye shadow that come half past 5 when I get in from work is not longer there.

Cue the Maybelline 24 hour colour tattoo eye shadows. They retail at a good budget happy price of £4.99 and are available in 9 colours. A creme eye shadow many say they are a good budget dupe of the Mac Paint pots.



 Top - Pink Gold, Eternal Siver, Lavish Lavender 
Bottom -  Endless Purple, Eternal Purple, Too Cool

I am not going to lie, since I took these pictures a couple of weeks ago, I have added another 2 to my collection with On and on bronze and Metallic Pomegranate. Now you may notice in the top picture that that the 2 on the far right have a different coloured lid. These 2 I picked up in Florida while I was on holiday in May. 

As you can probably tell, I really lovely these little beauties. I find that they stay on my eyes all day without any creasing which seems to be the main problem I tend to find with eye shadows if I dont use a primer. They blend well with the other powder shadows in my collection. I particularly love the on and on bronze which works well with the colours in my Naked palette and I love the Pink Gold and Pomegranate ones which blend really well together. I also find the pigmentation of these as they are bright enough to wear on their own for a simple day look too. 

These creme shadows in my opinion are up there with the high end products such as the Mac paint pots. I have a Mac paint pot in Bare study which I love the formulation of and these are up there with that but you could buy nearly 3 of these for the price of one of paint pots. I also love that they do a fab colour range, there is pretty much a colour for everyone to love. However I do hope they continue to extend the range some more :) 

These will definitely be sticking around in my make up collection for a while :D
