Hey all! It’s no secret that the beauty community has been obsessed with these paint pot dupes from the time they came out, and with good reason too. The Maybelline Color Tattoos are amazing with pigmentation and staying power. This is not going to be a review of them though, there are plenty of those floating around the internet. But I am going to share swatches I have of the colour I picked up, 45 Bold Gold.

Let’s not forget the Weekly Wednesday Blog hop! Click the button below and get to hopping!

I’ve always wanted a really nice, vibrant gold eyeshadow!

I love the packaging on the Color Tattoos, so sleek and seals nice and tight to prevent the product from drying out.

This would be the perfect product for busy students or if you have a job where you need to wake up really early and still need to look presentable.It’s easy to apply, dries quickly and doesn’t budge all day! Even in Barbados heat, and you know that is a feat!

I can’t wait to try more of the colours they have available. I know Collin’s Pharmacy here in Barbados had it a while back, but I didn’t get mine there. In USA, these are available in most drugstores.

Finally, I’ve made a picture-tutorial (Pictorial)! YAY! This is a lot harder than you’d imagine, I think making a video is easier, but I’ve really missed making make up tutorials and this is the closest thing I can get to it without my computer wanting to crash.

This look is quite simple and daytime appropriate, it’s just bright enough to capture people’s attention yet  would look great with glasses on. I typically put together this look if I feel like wearing eyeshadow during the day and I’m sure I’ve featured a FOTD if not an Instagram picture with this eyeshadow look or similar. I guess you could call this my go-to look.

Excuse the ashy-ness of the face in these pictures, because my BB cream contains SPF plus I powdered my face, it’s terrible with flash, but where I bronzed looked normal. I promise this BB cream suits my skin tone and looks normal in daylight, haha. Honestly camera flash is so brutal on powder, how do you balance between looking too oily and looking ashy?

I hope you don’t mind. She had more purple lips in the picture, so I tried to add a bit of a frosty purple lipstick I owned. I doubt you can it though.
