Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr- Barely Branded



While I was in America this year, i fell in love with this!
Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo - Retails for about $5-$7. These are absolutely amazing products and because these work so well. I love Barely Branded because it makes for an excellent all around base color for shimmery eyeshadow days!
These have amazing pigmentation and staying power.It's a gorgeous champagne colour with golden undertones. I always use these a base for shadows and don't need any other product underneath. These wont crease or fade on you!
 
I love this colour and would highly recommend it for girls who love neutrals or if you're just seeking out a good eyeshadow primer in general - this product works great as both! 

Hopefully it will be available in the UK soon!

Thankyou for reading!

Maybelline Baby Lips Pink Punch

Baby Lips have finally been released in the UK after what seems like ages in the US. I found this one in Superdrug the other day and I was straight off to the check-out without a second thought.

They are nothing more than tinted lip balms with sweet fruity scents. I decided to go for the shade 'Pink Punch' as after looking at swatches it seemed to be the most pigmented out of the bunch. And it doesn't disappoint it looks pretty much looks the same colour on my lips as it does in the bullet. 


You can apply it lightly for a really sheer wash of colour but you can also build it up until it's almost opaque. It smells so yummy I could eat it! I love sweet, fruity scents so for me, this is so perfect :) In terms of moisturising it isn't the best balm I've ever tried but it does feel nice and comfortable on the lips plus the tint eliminates the need to apply lippy. 


As much as I love it I'm not sure I would pick up any of the other shades but would really recommend 'Pink Punch' if you're looking for a balm with real colour pay off. They claim to last for 8 hours, I wouldn't quite agree with that but they definitely last for at least 4-5 hours. They also contain SPF 20 which is a nice bonus.

YOU NEED THIS! If you haven't found one yet in Boots/Superdrug, keep searching they are worth it! Especially since they are only £2.99!

Have you tried Maybelline Baby Lips?

Maybelline Dream Touch Cream Blush

This is a cream whipped blush that is designed to leave your skin with a soft, natural colour. Its great for giving a soft, natural flush of colour, it also contains a slight shimmer that gives cheeks a lovely sheen and a beautiful dewy finish. 
The packaging is very nice and doesn’t look cheap. The lid is the same colour as the blush which makes it easier to find the colour you desire when you have more than one of these blushes. The glass container in which the product is in is quite deep so and it is also fragrance free.


The consistency is very soft. I applied it with my fingers and you can blend it very well. It kind of feels a bit powdery and not creamy in the sense that it looks greasy or so. When you have applied it, it does’t shine or anything it stays matte. You have to use more coats to get a nice finish as it sets itself into the skin. 

I can definitely recommend you the Maybelline Dream Touch Blush! It has a good pigmentation, it’s easy to apply and has a great consistency. It lasts a long time therefore is great value for money.


Available in Boots and Superdrug from £6.49

Maybelline Black Gel Eyeliner

I have always found liquid eyeliner hard to apply so I thought I would give this gel eye liner a go.

This gel eyeliner that comes in a glass pot with a screw-on lid. Each glass pot of gel eyeliner comes with a small, flat bristled brush for lining. Personally, I didn't find the brush the right kind to line with but I prefer to use my Mac 210, but it’s a nice little bonus.
 
 

I found it had a rich black pigment–so I was quite surprised at how well it translated onto the lid.  I applied it to my upper lash line, and it was smooth and easy to apply. 

They seem to dry and set without much of a fuss, but they don’t dry instantly, so you may have to wait a few seconds before you close your eyes shut to avoid any transfer.
  The packaging has a surprisingly “high-end” feel for Maybelline — they look and feel much like Mac Fluidlines.
  
 
 
I think they’re definitely worth picking up if you’re in the market for an affordable gel eyeliner. Also, a little goes a long way with this little pot. have read other reviews on this and they all say that it doesnt dry out easily- just remember to keep the lid screwed on tighly!

Maybelline Black Gel Eyeliner is currently available in boots for £7.99.
