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 Eye-shadow Pencil

This post was due about a month ago, but this product was put to the back of my mind, assuming that i reviewed it. Honestly, i am so dippy sometimes you wouldn't believe. This is the Collection Eye-shadow Pencil which is £3.19 from Boots.

Firstly, I love the whole concept of this idea. The whole quick, in a rush, whack it on and go. As the packaging goes, its simple but intriguing for sure. I chose the colour Hot Chocolate, a deep brown, perfect for the natural smoky eye. 

 The amount of product is appalling to be honest. The top is all you get, you can't roll it up any more, this was really disappointing as the product itself is good. 

This eye-shadow stick is very pigmented and has a lovely colour. Also it blends very easily for the perfect smoky eye, as i mentioned before, gosh i am totally obsessed with the smoky eye!

I might do a blog post showing you how i apply this, comment if you want me to!

 As you can see from the swatch below it is very pigmented, creamy and packed with colour!

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! 

Maybelline Volum' Express Mascara

It is nearly the end of September, how fast has that gone? We are very close to the below zero winter, time to wrap up warm (a coat post soon!).

I realised i have not written an mascara post in the last couple of weeks and this has been my favourite mascara for the past month.

This is retailed at £9.00 from Boots, so it is not the cheapest but isn't too expensive. I didn't realise until i bought it but it is in shade brown, which actually i like a lot!

 The brush is quite short and flexible, it is one size so the bristles are the same distance apart.

It doesn't form clumps, which i obviously a big plus for you mascara lovers and it makes my lashes huge. My eyelashes are quite long anyway, but this makes my eyelashes up to 3x longer.

As you can see below it doesn't look brown but it is a lovely lengthening mascara.

What is your favourite mascara at the moment?
