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!

Jouer Skinny Dip Palette

I first saw this palette when Jouer released their Skinny Dip make-up collection and I nearly bought it, but I changed my mind because I already have a million palettes. As you can see, I have changed my mind again and I am very glad that I did. The packaging is quite compact. It is made out of reflective foil gold cardboard and the typography is simple. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift to reveal a small rectangular mirror on one side and then the six eyeshadow pans on the other. The shade names are written underneath each pan. You get six ultra-foil shimmer eyeshadows in blinding shades with a net weight of 7.5g. The sixth shade is actually described as more of a glitter shade. STAR LIGHT - platinum BIKINI - champagne pink SKINNY DIP - champagne gold TAN LINES - antique bronze MAGIC HOUR - warm taupe MIDNIGHT SWIM - cocoa bronze The eyeshadows should be highly pigmented, have an intense shimmery and metallic finish, be long wearing and cre

KALEIDOS Space Age Highlighters

A few posts ago I mentioned that I purchased a Kaleidos Space Age Highlighter from Depop and I said I really wanted the whole collection (8 highlighters) and was considering purchasing the whole bundle. The bundle was and is still out of stock, so I caved in and went for the second best option. I ended up purchasing The Six Highlighter Bundle, where you choose six of the shades and you get their Precision Highlighter Brush, all for $76.00 (£60.70). With this option I would only be missing out on one shade. My order was shipped from China and took 10 days to get to me. The shipping was FREE as I spent over $70.00 and I wasn’t charged any customs fees. Inside the main package is the bright bundle box, it looks like a present/gift. When you open this up, the highlighters and brush are inside the metallic padded envelope. I already own the shade Ray Rider (N03) (champagne sheen with a peach hint).

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil

I received this product as part of the Oz: The Great and Powerful Theodora Palette, which also includes a lipgloss crayon. I am going to review this product as a whole, even though I only have it in one shade. This looks like a standard eyeliner pencil, but the design is a lot nicer looking. The majority of them have the silver lid, but I have noticed that a couple of the shades have a different colour lid. Each barrel of each pencil is a different colour, to clearly show the colour of each shade. Zero is a soft black shade and it is not the darkest black Urban Decay do. This shade is part of the regular line and mine is the 0.8g sample size, the full sized product is 1.2g. Like the majority of pencil eyeliners, you have to sharpen it to dispense more product and the formula is smooth and creamy. This eyeliner is supposed to be creamy, long lasting, waterproof, highly pigmented and velvety soft. It is also said to contain moisturising ingredients, which makes it very safe f
