Maybelline Color Tattoos

 

 

 



Tough as Taupe is the first color tattoo I purchased. Its this matte dark gray color. When I used this as a base I noticed that it immediately darkened any colors I put on top of it. Making my eyeshadow colors look very dark almost muddy like. So now when I wear it I only used it as a cream eyeshadow. The lasting power is very good and with its tacky consistency it stays on all day. It is also on the dry side so when you blend it you have to be quick before it stains.

 

Next is the beloved bad to the bronze that everybody seems to love. The color is a burnished bronze iridescent color.It has a metallic finish that is almost blinding. Now this one is better used as a base. It lets the others colors shine through and helps to keep the fall out of other shadows to a minimal. Bad to the bronze is really something everybody could use because of its versatility. Even alone as a eyeshadow it looks two dimensional because of its gorgeous sheen. I like to use it on my bottom lash line and it really makes my eyes pop and wont smear down my face.

 

I've been on the hunt for a bold gold color that was also shimmery and that's exactly what Gold rush is. This one has the glitter out of the three. Unlike bad to the bronze this one has chunkier glitter to it.

I love it under bronze shadows because it just adds more hints of shimmer that I adore. I'm really into the most shimmer I can get from a shadow. This shadow really deliveries in every aspect I wanted. I had almost given up on finding the perfect bold gold shadow. Its going to be a great addition for pairing of my spring and summer shadows.

 

 

 

These retail for around $7 depending on where you go and so worth the money!

 

Baby Skin Primer

 

A little story on getting this primer......

 

I was on a mission to find this one night. So all of my dinner at Arby's was clouded with thoughts on this baby. As I ate my basic Arby's sandwich my mind drifted into the ideals of how this would work. Would it really be as good people said? Would I finally find the affordable primer I've been searching for?

My mind twirled around such notions that I barely ate any of my beloved curly fries. While curly fries are good makeup is better.

As I finally finished up my meal I grew more excited about the baby skin. I hoped in the car and anticipated every minute to the Walgreens. The glow of the Walgreen's sign had never been so beautiful to me. Saying I was excited about the product was a understatement.

 

I stepped into the makeup section and my eyes searched so adoringly at all the Maybelline products but I couldn't find it. I checked again as if my eyes were simply playing a trick on me. Disappointment began to overtake me. Not wanting to give up I walked up the makeup aisle and searched the other makeup company's products. I was beginning to think that maybe the employers could have gotten mixed up and could have placed it in the wrong spot.

Walking back down the aile I decided to look one more time and there it was in the bottom of the Maybelline product display. If only I had bent down lower to the bottom section. I didn't think about it and graped it right off and wanted to do the Smeagol dance from the Lord Of The Rings when he finally got the Ring from Frodo.

But I did not do the dance on account my husband who accompanied on the mission would have gotten a little weirded out and especially the workers as well.

So after sparing myself embarrassment I just took it up to the cashier but don't be dismayed because I did do the dance in my mind.

 

 

So when I got home I immediately tried it on my hand and it has the silkiest texture I've ever felt from a primer. It comes out clear as a gel formula and when I put it on it does really blur my pores. My foundation goes on extremely well. This is exactly what I've been searching for in a primer. Affordable and helps to give me a smooth canvas for the whole day. I feel like this makeup mission I was on was completed. Does it ever feel like a mission to you to go on the hunt for some anticipated products?

As Smeagol would say this is "My Precious" makeup primer
