Blogmas #4 | Maybelline Color Tattoo 24HR Cream Gel Eyeshadow

I have been meaning to review this product for ages, but I couldn’t decide if I wanted to get more shades to review. I was very interested in trying these because I wanted to get a gold base for Half Baked eyeshadow by Urban Decay and from then I have purchased two more and have a few more in mind for future purchases.
I have three shades, 05 - Eternal Gold (45 - Bold Gold), which is a glittery, shimmery medium toned dark gold with a metallic finish, 65 - Pink Gold (55 - Inked In Pink), which is a frosty mauve pink with a metallic finish and 35 - On and On Bronze (25 - Bad To The Bronze), which is a warmed up bronze brown with a metallic finish. I really want Barely Beige and Barely Branded, but sadly they are not available in the UK!
The packaging is a round clear glass pot with a black plastic lid. You have to twist the lid to get it off and it is mean’t to be air tight. The formulas vary because some of the shades have glitter in them, but they are quite creamy but not too creamy that it is going to smear. You get 4g of product in each glass pot.

This product is supposed to provide your eye look with colour that pops and the colour is meant to be super saturated because of the pigment technology. The product is meant to glide onto your eye lids smoothly, last up to twenty-four hours and be fade proof.

This is a must have product! The packaging is lovely and slightly resembles the MAC Paint Pots. The pigmentation is brilliant and each shade just pops! The texture is soft and creamy, which enables it to glide onto your lids. You can use a flat eyeshadow brush to apply it, but I prefer using my finger for a more saturated looking finish. The colour does fade slightly as it wears, but it isn’t majorly noticeable. It does not last twenty-four hours at all. It lasts around six and if you set it with a powder eyeshadow, it will last a lot longer.

Overall it does fail with the twenty-four hour wear claim, but it is still an amazing product. It is also a hell of a lot cheaper than the Benefit and MAC ones, which I love too!

BY BEAUTY BAY Fiery 16 Colour Palette

This is the third BY BEAUTY BAY make-up product I’ve tried and I did see it on the website when it first launched, but never picked it up. It was always sold out anyway so I couldn’t get it and the packaging has just been re-vamped for all of their palettes and all of the products were re-stocked. I decided to pick this one up because of the size, it’s not too small and it’s not too big. The nine shade version of this palette is all matte, and I really like shimmers/metallic and the massive forty-two shade version is too big (too many shades and too big to store in my drawers). I thought the sixteen shade palette would be the perfect medium. My palette actually arrived faulty; one of the eyeshadows is missing (Burnt Sienna). In the spot were Burnt Sienna should be there is actually a duplicate of another shade in the palette (Sunstone). Basically, I have two Sunstone eyeshadows and I should only have one. I don’t have the shade Burnt Sienna when I should have one of them (abov...

Morphe X Jaclyn Hill Volume II Palette

This palette has been out for a while now and I did purchase it a while ago, but I have only just decided to really play with it. Morphe palettes in general put me off because of the size of them, no shade names, boring packaging and too many shades in some palettes. The colour story of this palette in particular is really attractive to me. I didn’t buy Volume I as I didn’t want to jump on the band wagon, the size of the packaging and the colour story is just boring to me. I did pick up the Vault Collection (four palettes) and what a massive disappointment it was too (now decluttered)!! I was initially put off this palette due to my past experiences, but the colour story though! Also, a good thing about the Morphe website is that you can always get 10% off your order with an affiliate code.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is a quite large thin rectangular shape. It is made out of glossy white cardboard and it has the branding and information printed in metallic silver font on the fro...

Anastasia Beverly Hills X Nicole Guerriero Glow Kit

This palette became a cult favourite in the beauty sphere when it was first released as a limited edition product in collaboration with Nicole Guerriero (Beauty Influencer on YouTube), and there have been many calls to bring it back. In 2020, Anastasia Beverly Hills finally listened after three long years! I only actually heard about this palette after it had completely sold out and was no longer available. I must have been living under a rock at some point during 2017, because I completely missed this product! I am glad I finally got the chance to get my hands on this palette and I have heard nothing but raving reviews. There are six metallic highlighter shades, which should be highly luminous. They have a refined formula that should deliver buildable coverage with a smooth finish. The shades were created to flatter all skin tones and they can be applied anywhere on the face, eyes, lips and body. The palette is cruelty-free and vegan. You can purchase the palette for £42.00 (...
