Maybelline Color Tattoo- Permanent Taupe




Eye shadows are my weakness, i seem to be forever buying neutral eye shadows. I swear I have at least 5 of the same shade of brown. So why not buy another one?
This is my second Color Tattoo (I also have the shade Pink Gold) and this doesn't disappoint. It is so simple to use, perfect to take on holiday or travel. I don't use a brush, I just use my fingers to blend it near the corners of my eye or all over my eye lid. It does make a really nice simple and subtle smokey eye.
What I love about this is that it is not your classic neutral, it is a cool grey which goes perfect with most skin tones. It also lasts all day which is great!

Have you tried it? What did you think?

Collection Colour Pro Lip Lacquer

 Lets just sit here and admire the packaging of colour of this product by Collection.This was £4.19 ( to be precise) and it is in the shade Prom Queen, love the shade name, very cute.

Lets get into the product itself shall we?
As this is a Lip Lacquer i was expecting it to be thick, luscious and long lasting. Well it certainly is thick, it is super thick that you need the tiniest amount to cover your lips. I warn you, if you put any more than a small blob on your lips, it may look like a make up disaster.
Also it is very sticky, your mortal enemy on a windy day.

 It has a nice long doe-foot applicator which is definitely one of the pros, also it is very flexible, which means it can get into those tiny corners of your mouth.
From the swatch below you can also see the colour is beautiful and I just wish the product was not so sticky.

Have you tried this product? What do you think?

Rimmel Colour Rush Balm

Recently all the drug store brands have released 'chubby stick'-esque products to their lines. I have had a Clinique Chubby stick and loved it to much, so i picked out one from Rimmel and it was £6.99.
It doesn't say what colour it is on the packaging, which i think is odd especially if there are multiple shades.
 Not going to lie, i was surprised how good this product was for such a good price. It is very balmy and has loads of pigment in it, so you can build up a lot of colour! There is also a ton of product in this which you can reach by using the twisty cap.

 Here are 2 swatches of the product. It is a deep pink/nude/red, very confusing i know! I really like the colour and feel it suits a very natural look.
So i recommend this product, it is a lot cheaper that the actual Clinique Chubby Stick. There aren't as many colours but very similar formula's i feel like.

Stila Eye-shadow 'GoLightly'

My most worn eye-shadow looks is a neutral eye-shadow, nothing too bold. This eye-shadow by Stila is a neutral brown with green undertones.  It is quite an investment at £12 but i had heard so much about Stila and am a sucker for beautiful things!
It applies really smoothly and you can easily blend it out. It lasts all day on my lids with literally no crease and it minimises the oiliness on my lids.
 I must say it does look rather green here, it magnificently shows its green undertones though. I usually go for way more deep browns but this is definitely a nice change!
The colour pay off is simply amazing and it looks slightly golden in the picture below which is strange but it must be my camera!
