❤ Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr Eyeshadow Review & Swatches

The Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr Eyeshadows really stood out because I really like their packaging and the colors in this collection. If you watched my video, I mention how I really love all the colors and how extremely pretty they all are. Basically overall I would rate these 7.5. Let me break it down for you. First lets start with packaging. I love the packaging. I think they look so nice in a standard round container with a clear bottom so we can see the color inside and with a black lid. Very nice. Now with pigmentation, most of them have great pigmentation. Some require a little more work than others but basically they have great color payoff. Texture is nice, since we already know they're in cream form I wasn't surprised by it. I do enjoy the fact that when they dry they feel just like an eyeshadow. I find this formula very unique. Application was a little tricky for me when using more than one of these colors. Once they dry they're almost impossible to blend. When I experimented with these on myself I just used one of these with some of my other shadows and they worked better that way. I like that these don't need any sort of primer or base since they kinda work like one to begin with, until they dry that is. And like I mentioned before a couple need more work to get a good color payoff. I find the Painted Purple to be streaky and the Edgy Emerald is slightly steaky as well. I'm very satisfied with the longevity of these shadows. I have not tested them for a full 24 hours like their packaging states, but I did test for about 10 and I'm very happy they stayed put, no creasing and no fading. They really lasted the whole day for me. They really stuck onto my arm when I did swatches of these too. And as for variety, I know its a complete new products just introduced, but I still rate the variety of colors they offer. I find 10 shades to be alright, not totally impressed. So there you have it. Overall these are super cool shadows, I'm not too sure if they're a favorite, something I would reach for day to day, but they are really unique.

❤ February & March Haul

This is a really big haul for me. Watch the video for all items. I will be doing a review on the Maybelline 24hr tattoo eyeshadows and also on the baby lips AND the LA Colors Jumbo pencils too! I usually don't do haul videos, I really enjoy watching them, but I guess when I tend to buy a lot of stuff all at once I like to make a video to share with ya'll. =)

❤ Sweet & Innocent Eyes

I decided to do a look that's more of an everyday look. Its simple and includes all Inglot eyeshadows. I use a lot of the same techniques in other tutorials. I wanted to share with anyone who was curious if I can attempt a more subtle look with my bright palettes from Inglot. So using a lot of golds and bronzy colors, this is the look I came up with. I hope you all enjoy. If you haven't tried Inglot, you need too! I really fell in love with their freedom system. I've seen a bunch of videos promoting this awesome thing the company does so I check it out for myself when I visited their Vegas store over a year ago. I tested a bunch of the eyeshadows and got myself a palette. I have a swatch video, which you can click here for if you wanna see more on it. The only thing that sucks about Inglot is that their shadows are named by numbers so its much harder to remember a color or shade that you love. But I do remember the amazing yellow color is number 60. lol Anywho, overall I hope you enjoy this look.

❤ Yellow & Pink using MAC

This look was creating using almost all MAC shadows. I realized when making the video that I was completely out of my highlight colors, so I gotta stock up soon (which is always fun cause that means I get to go shopping!) Anywho I wanted to attempt a unique look by not darkening the outer corner, instead I let the bright pink shadow flow from the top of the lid and around to the bottom like it does at the inner corner. It was difficult trying to get a good photo where you can see that but I think I managed a good one for you. I hope you like this look, I'm really happy with it because the yellow shadow, Goldenrod, I never really used before. When I had bought it I guess I didn't test it out first, but it does not swatch well at all. I would have never gotten this shadow because of the lack of quality in the swatch, but since I decided to attempt to use it in this look, it came out really nice and now I'm super happy with this color. I've said before I've been on the hunt to find a great yellow eyeshadow and this one work really well. I hope you like this look.

❤ LORAC After Affair Palette Swatches

LORAC is beginning to be a fave of mine. I only own 2 of the palettes and I also have an eyeshadow trio as well. Actually I have used their liquid eyeliner and it was my favorite for a while, until it dried out and I didn't want to splurge $20 bucks on it. Well anyway as I wonder off subject, the After Affair palette is pretty good. My fave color in this palette is the deepest purple. Other than a good yellow, I've been on the hunt for an impressive deep purple that doesn't come off too black. And this one is pretty good. The colors aren't named but I swatched them left to right in the palette the same on my arm. You can see it has good color payoff. The blending is pretty decent too. I'm not wow-ed by the packaging. It does have a small drawer area for maybe a lipgloss or something. I left a brush in there and I forgot about it and couldn't find it for a long time until I did this swatch overview for you LOL. Oh well. Check out the video for side by side pics of the shadow next to the swatch.

❤ Festive St. Patty's Day Eyes

Super simple look for St. Patrick's Day! Its bold and in your face and all I used were two colors! Crazy right? I wanted it to be really easy so I wanted as few colors as possible and I think I did a great job at making that work. The two colors are from the same palette, Sugarpill Sweetheart palette, Midori and Tako. I hope you try this look and like it. Thanks for watching and reading! =)
