Maybelline | Colour Tattoos 24hr


The first Maybelline Color Tattoo I ever purchased was only in July just gone and it was in the shade 'On and on Bronze'. Needless to say I fell in love straight away. I then bought 'Permanent Taupe' whilst I was over in London in August. I could never find it over here in Ireland and I had wanted it since I picked up my first one. (Just a side note, I used to always and as a matter of fact still do, call 'Permanent Taupe', 'Peppermint Taupe'. I do not know why or where this came from. I guess it's just a habit now though haha!).

Let me start by saying that for a drugstore crème eyeshadow, these color tattoos are fantastic. They say they last 24 hours, but honestly I never have my makeup on for 24 hours so I don't think I'll ever know if that's true. But the staying power for a couple of hours is excellent. These never rub off on my eyes, never crease or never smudge once applied.

The best thing about them is that you can use them as a base or you can use them on their own if you're feeling lazy. Either way, they look gorgeous! The texture of them is super, you can apply them with your finger all over your eye and if you wanted you could use a brush to blend them out. So you definitely can't go wrong and I'd strongly recommend you give these a try!

Have you any of the Maybelline Color Tattoos?

As you can see, I couldn't just pick 'a few' nail polishes, I had to go all out and pick thirteen. I suppose it's okay to have a lot though, it's better than none haha!

Personally I love when the Autumn time comes around, because I love being able to wear darker colours on my nails. I decided that this year I needed some deep, dark colours - dark reds, dark purples and navy blues. Alongside your metallics and glittery gold of course! I also decided that I wanted some muted, toned down colours too! I just couldn't help myself. *Sigh*.

I hope this post gave you some ideas as to what kind of colours you might like for the Autumn/Winter months! I hope these pictures did the colours justice, because I took about fifty and had to break it down to these few.

What colours are on your Autumn/Winter nail polish list?
If you have any questions about any of the colours or where to find them, let me know!

Thanks so much for reading!

L'Oréal | Skin Perfection | 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution Review


The hype for micellar waters going around is crazy, ever since Bioderma showed its face! Every beauty blogger/guru and their mothers have one at this stage! I know I'm a bit behind on the bandwagon with this review, but I left it a while to do this one as I wanted to test it out and see if it was actually any good.
