This is a bit of a review and current-go-to-makeup post in one. A few people have asked me what I thought of the Maybelline 24 hr Color Tattoo cream shadows and now I've finally managed to get my hands on a couple I thought I'd let you know (after numerous trips to Boots only to be met with nasty, smushed tester pots and no new stock).
Obviously they're a super-hyped product and they've been out for a little while now, so I probably don't need to go into too much detail, but these are very similar to MAC Paint Pots but a fraction of the price at £4.99. There aren't as many shades on offer in the UK and they've also changed the names for the UK market (but I believe the colours are the same...also why change the names but not Anglicise the spelling on the packaging?!).
I picked up 'On and On Bronze' and 'Immortal Charcoal'. I've had the most use from the bronze shade and I've pretty much worn it everyday since I bought it. A little bit smudged across the lid, with MAC's Groundwork Paint Pot to blend it out through the crease and plenty of mascara is the perfect lazy girl's eye combo. As you can see from the swatch, you can get a more opaque effect if you so wish. I haven't had any creasing issues with either of the Color Tattoos I purchased (if it looks like that in the photo...that's just my lovely wrinkly eyelids...whoopee) and they last really well. Again I haven't and won't be testing them for 24hrs, but after an average 12-16hr wear they look just fine.
I have been told they dry out easily, but I've also heard that about MAC Paint Pots and never personally found it to be an issue. If that's a concern, try a little bit of cling-film on top of the product before putting the lid on (Saran wrap for those across the pond) and storing the pots upside down.

I have this too! I also have Eternal Gold and I'm thinking on getting Permenant Taupe. I haven't see nthis exact colour in Boots or Superdrug yet though.

This is a lovely look, more often than not I wear glasses so I tend to not bother with eye makeup other than mascara, but I think that even someone as lazy as me could give this a go x
ReplyDeleteI have had so many use out of the Bronze Colour Tattoo, I love how it's such a versatile product - I have it on now actually with some eyeshadow and then smudged in to my upper lash line x

I think you should also get 'permenant taupe' it has a slight mauvey undertone to it which would look great with your eye-colour :)

Oh wow you really suit this. I don't really suit eyeshadow in my opinion but this is really suttle and glamourous, I might have to go out and get them :)

They are very lovely colours, I like more neutral colours for my eyes, and these are just perfect.

I've had my eye on this eyeshadow for a quite a long time now, but the combo with lots of mascara has convinced me. It looks really lovely! I'm going to pick this up next time I'm in town :)

I never usually wear eyeshadow at all, but bought On and On Bronze a few weeks ago and have been completely in love with it! It's so easy and lovely to wear.
ReplyDeletei got the bronze one while i was in london and i LOVE it, i'm dreading the day i'll run out as it's not available in the netherlands :(
ReplyDeleteOooo, that's so pretty! I have permanent taupe but i'll have to get this at some point too! x
ReplyDeleteThis really is a fantastic cream shadow! Especially considering how affordable it is. The bronze looks lovely on you!

I think i brought the taupe one... cant remember, but I find it a bit grey, so may try the bronze and these seem so easy to use! x
ReplyDeleteThis is my go-to lazy eye product as well, its so easy to put on and stays all day without having to worrying about it!
ReplyDeleteThese look so pretty on you :). xxx

Wow! Looks amazing, every Boots store I go to, they are all sold out :L
ReplyDeletewww.flusterose.blogspot.com
That would look so nice with tan! ;)
ReplyDeleteI was debating on whether to pick one of these up. I guess I should try it! It looks great and I am all about easy.
ReplyDeleteThe bronze is my favorite one, after I bought it I wore it about 2 months straight.
ReplyDeleteI love them as eyeliners :)
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with On and On Bronze! Its definitely a lazy girl's dream :) Also, thanks for the advice about storing the pot upside down. I hadn't heard that they dry out but I'll be taking care all the same :)

ive just bought this and i love this :) xx
ReplyDeleteI purchased "On and One bronze" about a week ago now and I'm so in love with it! I love this look of it with Groundwork and wouldn't have thought to pair the two, I will be trying that combo today when I go out! I've been wearing the colour tattoo with "Jaunty" from the new Sailor collection!

I am currently living in Turkey and all the names of the color tattoos are different than the American ones too, I still wonder if "on and on bronze" is the same as "bad to the bronze", because in some of the pictures/swatches they look different but I love this color anyway :) I have the "permanent taupe" too, but I don't use it that much :) I am tempted to try the golden one ;)
