Maybelline and Neutrogena Haul!

So I've been getting all sorts of new makeup lately, and I've fallen in love with these newish quads Maybelline has put out. Everything is so shiny and sparkly and pigmented and the colors are amazing.

They also came out with some limited edition stuff which included MORE COLOR TATTOO SHADOWS! I'm a girl obsessed!

Alright. Let's get down to the photos!

 Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Beige

 Maybelline Color Tattoo in Mossy Green

 Swatches of Mossy Green and Barely Beige

Barely Beige is a new favorite. It makes a great base for any and all shadows and stays on forever!

These next two are Eye Studio quads by Maybelline.

 Package and swatches of the limited edition Olive Martini

The third color is this amazing brown/blue that changes color depending on how you look at it!

This quad is Smoky Night.

Dark bronze, purple, blue and black.

The purple is actually more purple looking in real life, and the blue is less gray and more blue in real life. Silly camera.

Next up: I had coupons for some Neutrogena products and I've never had any before so this was interesting. I decided to go for a new blush and a lipgloss.

So far, the blush looks really sheer on my cheeks, but that was without foundation underneath. I like the gloss. It's a nice sheer pink color and not too sticky.

Finally, I haven't had colored mascara in a long time, and Maybelline came out with some recently so I just had to.

Did you really expect me NOT to get teal?

More to come in clothing and makeup! Fall is coming!!!

Til next time,

Completing the Collection and New Stuff

So I finally got "Too Cool" from Maybelline Color Tattoo and now I have all ten of them!!

There's also some new Maybelline eye shadows. I love their newish sparkly quads!

Too Cool in the package, with the lid off, and swatched. It looks really good by itself for a quick sheer summery look and also makes a great inner corner highlight!

I got a new eyebrow pencil. This one is thinner than the Wet N Wild one I had been using and it's waterproof! My brows look more natural now!

Maybelline Eye Studio Quad with silver glitter, Amethyst Ablazed!!

They didn't name the individual colors... But they're all sparkly and BEAUTIFUL!

 Swatched. Primer on top and bare on bottom. I'm disappointed in the pigmentation of that lightest purple shade.

Here are all the swatches with the glitter over them like you see in the ads. SO pretty. Now I have a decent purple or 4 to go over that Color Tattoo!

Looks like I love Maybelline a bit! hahaha!

Stay tuned!

Til next time,

Maybelline Color Tattoo Collection: Almost Complete!

All I have to get is the white one and I'll have all 10!

 Bold Gold!

And a swatch.

This looks amazing on the eyes!

And yesterday on a shopping trip to Walmart I bought two more.

 Audacious Asphalt

 Bad To The Bronze

 And swatches!

All three look great together in one eye look. I wore them yesterday, bronze in the middle third, gold in the inner third and asphalt on the outer third with a little extra in the outer V. Sadly, I forgot to take a picture.

Some hauls coming up soon! Claire's and Walmart!

Til next time!

Maybelline Color Tatto Cream Eyeshadow Review and Swatches

So this is a product I've fallen in love with. I first bought one on vacation in May and today I bought my 6th one! Haha!

So I'm gonna give you a little review/opinions/swatches on the colors that I have.

Left to right, top to bottom:  

Fierce and Tangy, Edgy Emerald, Tenacious Teal

Pomegranate Punk, Tough As Taupe, Painted Purple

All I need now is Bold Gold, Bad To The Bronze, Too Cool, and Audacious Asphalt!

 Here are some swatches. As you can see, the two matte colors on the right give off the best pigmentation. Painted purple (left) is what I bought today, and was the most hesitant about it because just about every review I've read or watched had bad things to say about it.. and sadly, they're right. It goes on streaky and isn't as pigmented as it looks in the pot.

Pomegranate Punk looks a little brown here, but its more of a reddish burgundy shade.

Tenacious Teal is. my. favorite. LOOK AT THAT COLOR! Used as a base for a mineral shadow from ELF called Dreamy, it's well.. dreamy!

Here's that interesting purple up close. Looks harmless, right?

Here's a little swatch test I did.

First: with nothing under it

Second: with ELF primer under it

Third: with NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk under it

Fourth: with ELf gel eyeliner in black under it

It seems to perform best with a dark base. I'll have to do some more experimenting and see if I can pat it on and layer it to get the color intensity I want.

In conclusion, I LOVE these shadows and I highly recommend buying ALL of them.

Til next time,
