MAYBELLINE PURE PIGMENTS ***NEW***

HI TO ALL,


Today I am very excited to share with you the most beautiful  and most anticipated products I have come across since I started blogging three months ago. I purchased the items myself I am about to show you and I am not being paid for my views or opinions, they are truly my own, so enjoy.

Maybelline all I can say is bravo, these new PURE PIGMENTS are absolutely stunning, totally out of this world and worth every nickel (since pennies are obsolete;).)

Before we start I want to add I bought 8 of the 9 colours and will be doing a 2 part review as to cover all 8 in one review is far to long and you'll enjoy coming back in anticipation of the last 4;)

So lets have a look and enjoy the rich experience with these fine gems.

The first colour is 25 WILD GOLD. This is truly a bold bright yellow gold that will look as though you have applied real gold leaf to the eyes. Not that this colour needs any help being amped up, but to help the colour pack on and stay use the color tattoo 24hr eyeshadow in 45 BOLD GOLD, what a beautiful partnership.


 So this photo was taken near a regular table lamp no special camera work or lighting, so that should speak for it self about the insanity of these pigments. This colour surely would be a favorite of Cleopatra if she still lived today I am certain.


Then we have 10 BRASH BLUE and yes this blue is very self assertive if you didn't notice from the picture.



You better watch out Mimi from Drew Carey because your blue shadow don't have anything on me and my brash blue lol.


Next up is 20 PINK REBEL this pink has a duochrome finish that reflects a light purple/violet iridescence and for you gal's out there that love your pinks then do not miss this.



PINK REBEL is truly a pigment of beauty reminiscent of Memphis pink roses and can truly hold its own or be worn with "inked in pink" as its companion base.


The last colour for part 1 of this PURE PIGMENT segment is the colour 45 DOWNTOWN BROWN. Now don't get me wrong as I said at the start I love these pigments, but out of them all this is probably my least favorite. I am more for the extreme and bold, but this will actually be a great colour for everyday use to accent any neutral look to just add a hit of shimmer and pizazz.



This particular colour actually reminds me a lot of Mac's "TEMPTING" lustre from the previous style warriors collection. It's not exact, but close. So if that's a colour from Mac that you loved and miss then pick up this pure pigment by Maybelline.

So in closing a couple of points I would like to make. If you want your pigments to last always try to prime your eye before application be it NYX jumbo pencil in Milk, Avon eyeshadow primer or higher end products like too faced shadow insurance. BUYER BEWARE the BLUE does actually stain and you need to wash the area at least 3 times for it to be gone, just as a heads up so you are not alarmed if you use it. Again these pigments are extremely intense saturated colours and are on the higher end of the dramatic scale, but certain colours can be sheered out and toned down for everyday use.
I truly hope Maybelline has plans for many more colour offerings to come. I would love to see a true red like a "fire engine" and that would be a fun name for it as well. So Maybelline if you read this and  like the name and the idea you need to give credit where credit is due.

The only colour I did not purchase was the black with shimmer particles because I don't feel for me that would be used quickly enough, it is pretty as I have seen it in person. I look forward to seeing how others in the Internet world will utilize that pigment for various looks.

The pure pigments are currently available in Canadian stores like Walmart and Shopper's Drug Mart.
This week in the Canadian Walmart flyer you can get the pigments for $5.97 WOW great deal as they will be around $8-10 other wise depending on where you shop for your eye candy.

The pigments come in a round small plastic jar inside they do come with a sifter insert for those who love that instead of it just open to dip your brush in. Each pigment is 1.5g which doesn't seem much, but I seriously can tell you all you need is merely a pinch like pepper to get the full effect. These will last a long time, especially if you choose to get all the colours as I did.

HOPE you enjoyed this review and stay tuned for part 2 coming soon on the remaining four colours in the PURE PIGMENTS collection. Not to be missed, two of my favorites I saved for last.
