Maybelline Color Tattoo's Review and Swatches



Hola Mariposas!!

Today I bring you a review of one of the hottest products in the blogsphere Maybelline Color Tattoo's!!  These are cream eyeshadows with long staying power, the claim is 24 hours...I do not need my eyeshadow to be able to last that long EVER!!  These retail for $7.99 depending on the retailer Mac paint pots retail for $17.50.  These can be used alone or as a base just like their Mac counterpart, they can definitely boost, brighten or darken your eyeshadow even acting like a colorful primer.  They come in an amazing shade range, there is a purple shade also that I didn't include which had less than stellar pigmentation.  I'd encourage you to check these out it's a nice way to try a high end product at a drugstore price.  My favorites are the metallics and Tough as Taupe :-).  Enjoy Mariposas and thanks for reading.

Urban Decay Contest Facebook look

I entered Urban Decay's Facebook contest using their 15th Anniversary Palette, which is my FAVE!! My look is a navy smokey eye and was done with the 15th Anniversary Palette...LOVES!!  Urban Decay has recently reformulated it's eyeshadow line and the shadows in this palette are all made with that new formula...it's like BUTTAHHHHH!!  This palette is limited edition and sold out quickly, right now it is only sold  (to my knowledge) on sephora.com. 

I always start off with UDPP
Evidence 3/4 lid
Omen inner 1/4 lid
Tainted tear duct
Buck as a transition in the crease with Omen and Evidence
Vanilla on the brow bone 
Blackout along the lower lash line

I started with a nude lip, but then added some color below
I love how the dark rim makes my eyes look lighter

The final look })i({
