MAYBELLINE COLOR TATTOO'S & EYESTUDIO QUADS

HI ALL,

My very first memories of using cosmetics consisted of Maybelline kissing koolers, kissing potions and Great Lash mascara in electric blue and plum.

Now flash forward some twenty years later and there are still products that Maybelline releases and I fall in love with them just as I did many years before.

I actually have been so caught up trying a number of different products as of late that I forgot how much I enjoy using the Maybelline eyestudio quads. I noticed they were on sale at Shopper's Drug Mart for $6.99 which is a deal so I decided to rekindle my relationship with eyestudio's again and picked 85 GUTSY GREEN and 10 MAD FOR MAUVE both are equally gorgeous and full of shimmer and sass.

I really wish I could give you names for each colour which is the only draw back with these quads however in this palette my favorite colour is the light dusty rose second in from left. These are very fun colours to work with, they are more shimmery so if your older and this doesn't appeal to you "buyer beware". The one thing I did notice is this particular quad is extremely similar to a previous release called TAUPE TEMPTRESS. It would seem they merely swapped one colour out for one newer more trendier tone for this year which would be the green.

GUTSY GREEN has been out for a while but I didn't have this one so I thought I would give it a go. Also green's especially Emerald is all the rage this year according to Pantone and I love how they make the eye stand out no matter your eye colour, green is quite universal.

The best thing with these eyeshadow's is that they are very pigmented but clean off very easily with even a simple baby wipe.

You get 2.5g/.09oz which really isn't much for four colours, but they last a while. average price is about $10

I finally thought I would try out the 24hr Color Tattoo's which my only concern with this product is how quickly they may dry out. I have seen some pretty sad looking tester's in the store which isn't saying much about this products longevity. However I plan to use them as a shadow primer as well as on my eye alone if I just want a fast option if I am in a hurry. The important thing with this product is to not over do it or you will get creasing. However I used it this morning for my current eye look and it seems to be holding up pretty well underneath my eye shadow. I purchased three colours two of which are very neutral they are INKED IN PINK and BARELY BRANDED and the third colour is the stand out BOLD GOLD. I am a huge fan of bronze, gold, rose gold, cooper makeup so this was right up my alley.

These are 4g/.14oz and cost $7 at Walmart and about $10 at drug stores. I find colour tattoo`s are best applied with your finger tip and blend them well. For overall multi use barely branded would be my top pick of these three.

So that's it for today, so make sure to always check out pricing from one store to a next because it can sometimes be surprising the difference a five minute walk between stores can make.

Try out these products soon if you haven`t all ready.
