Hi All!

Don’t miss out on my Maybelline Color Tattoo Giveaway!!!
I thought I would pop in today with an EOTD using Tough as Taupe J




88 palette; a cool brown in the crease and the black to enhance the outer V.

Eyeliner: L’Oreal Infallible Liner Black

So I mentioned last week, in my Painted Purple post, that I picked up some more Maybelline Colour Tattoos 24hr Eyeshadows. I grabbed Bad to the Bronze and Tough as Taupe.

Bad to the Bronze  &  Tough as Taupe



Bad to the Bronze  & Tough as Taupe

 Tough as Taupe is a great base. I have to say I have been using this in place of my MAC Painterly paint pot. :O  I like how it is creamy yet has a matte appearance. You can layer it up to build up intensity. So easy to work with. I find using a sponge applicator makes it so easy to apply a smooth even layer of colour. I also use my ring finger to blend out the outer edges. And If I am so inclined, I will layer a complimenting shadow over top. It gives the powder eyeshadow a boost. If you love taupes, GO GET THIS!

Swatches Bad to the Bronze  & Tough as Taupe

Would I buy again? Hell yeah. I wonder how these will hold up after a few months. I hope they do not dry out. 

It is probably best to get these at Walmart/Target /CVS. I noticed the drugstores jacked up the price by $3-$4. I got these guys at Walmart for $6.97 CDN. Shoppers Drug Mart have them for $9.99 CDN :O.

Last Friday I returned a liquid liner (Relvon ColourStay) to Shoppers Drug Mart. It was horrible! It was watery and a very grey. Not the Blackest Black as the packaging promised! I think I got a dud. Turned me right off! L

Anyhooo, while I was waiting for the CR to ring through my exchange, I noticed the Maybelline Colour Tattoo Eyestudio 24hr Eyeshadow display. It had such a rich array of colours.

I was intrigued by the colours and the only tester I could see, Tough as Taupe, was gorgeous. It instantly reminded me of the consistency of my MAC Paint Pot. I had a $10 coupon for Shoppers Drug Mart so I grabbed Painted Purple. FREE!

Off I went back to work with my colour tattoo pot. I ripped it open right at my desk and swatched it on my arm. It was pretty pretty pretty! It’s a beautiful shade of purple and has a teeny little bit of sparkle. But it didn’t go on as intense as it shows up in the pot. When I swatched the Tough as Taupe it went on more creamy and had more full coverage. Painted Purple seemed to skim the top layer of the derma and didn’t go into skin. Does that make sense?

But I thought I would play with it more when I got home. After about 3 hours, I remembered I still had the swatch on the back of my hand. It was still as if I just swatched it and when I rubbed my finger across the swatch there was no movement of the pigment at all. None. These suckas ain't going anywhere!

Painted Purple

So this morning I had some errands to run. When I was getting ready I thought I would test it out a bit. I just used my finger to swipe it on my eyelids and crease, no primer. Then I set it with some light purple eyeshadow from my Sephora Smokey Eye kit. Nothing dramatic as I was going to Wal-Mart and Home Depot. Don't want to scare the Sunday townfolk! Haha.



My feelings on Painted Purple? BEE-U-TEE-FUL colour but it didn’t go on as intense as I hoped. But it didn’t put me totally off the Color Tattoo shadows as I bought 2 Tough as Taupes and a Bad to the Bronze. LOL :P Reviews to come on them later. I am such an addict...
