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!

KALEIDOS Futurism VI: Lunar Lavender Palette

This is my second KALEIDOS palette and I bought it from the same Depop seller as last time. I also purchased the Futurism I: Sci-Fi Green and Futurism VII: Sashimi City Palettes, reviews on those will be coming soon. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a long thin rectangle shape and the concept reminds me of a wardrobe. There is a purple, pink and rose gold coral (the reef kind) and cloud theme all over the packaging. It has a magnetic closing and you open up the left side first and then the right side to reveal the circular eyeshadow pans and long thin mirror inside. The outside theme continues to the inside, but the colours are lilac, pink, peach and orange with rose gold. The eyeshadow names come printed on a plastic sheet. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get six 1.33g eyeshadows/pressed pigments in Matte (M), Duo-Chrome (DC) and Shimmer (S) finishes.   ·          Rich and Velvety Texture ·          Smo...

Oden's Eye Solmåne Eyeshadow Palette

I first heard of this indie brand through watching Angelika Oles’ beauty channel on YouTube. Oden’s Eye is a Swedish indie brand and they make Norse mythology themed products. This is one of two eyeshadow palettes I decided to purchase; I also picked up the two matching highlighter palettes.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is small and rectangular in shape. It is made out of cardboard and it has a sort of textured covering (like on pogs). The design and imagery is so unique to the brand. Solmåne means the sun and moon in Swedish. Sol represents the Sun Goddess and Måne represents the Moon God. Both Gods are represented on the packaging. There is a colour split of warm and cool toned shades (lavender, pink, orange & yellow) along with moon, star and Norse symbols. The wheel around the Gods is metallic gold, so it really reflects the light when you move the palette around. The eyeshadow shade names are printed on the back of the palette. The palette has a magnetic closing/opening, ...

Empties #10 - August & September 2013

I have combined two month’s worth of empties again. At the end of August my box wasn’t that full, so I decided to carry on collecting and hope I use up more stuff. The majority of stuff I used up was necessities as usual, but there are some extra bits too. Here is what I managed to use up within two months:- Morrisons So Clear Dual Action Moisturiser | 100ml I have used another tube of this and have already re-purchased it. It works really well and doubles as a hand cream and most importantly, it is very inexpensive. Price - £1.49 Listerine Total Care Mouthwash in Clean Mint (Purple) | 500ml This is my favourite mouthwash and I have already re-purchased it. Although I get it for around £2.99, I still wish it was cheaper. Price - £4.60 Right Guard Women Total Defence 5 48H Invisible Power Anti-Perspirant Deodorant | 150ml + 250ml I have used more of these as usual and I still haven’t found anything that is better. I have however found a cheaper place to buy it f...
