Seventeen V's Maybelline - Cream Eyeshadows


Seventeen - Wild Metallic Eyes in Wild Nude
Maybelline - Color Tattoo in On and On Bronze
So I've already talked about the Color Tattoo (here). My love for this has not died but finding another colour from the range that is wearable any time has. Color Tattoo has great lasting power with a strong pigment that stands out or can be layers with eye shadow on top. I saw the Seventeen version and it's the first item I've bought from this company. To be honest it's the first one that's caught my eye. I really like the simplicity of cream shadows but beyond going to brands like Benefit or Mac which I know I can't afford right now there isn't much choice. In this crazy heat I expected the Color Tattoo to melt but it didn't , I always use a primer first so maybe that makes the difference after all. So moving on I did swatches of all of the Seventeen colours in Boots and this was by far my favourite. Wild nude is metallic without being glittery and more natural day make up the consistency is creamier as well. It did crease a bit after a days wear but that was in the crease of my eye so unless I was closing my eyes often its not noticeable.

The Color Tattoo is £4.99 and the Seventeen is £3.99 so not a huge price difference, I think I will always prefer the Color Tattoos but in both ranges there just aren't enough wearable colour or nearly enough choice.

Black V's Nude Eyeliner - Scadaleyes Waterproof Khol Review


versus












Both these eye liners for me work well and define the eyes but with one swipe of either it 
completly changes the whole look. I've always been an big fan of black eye liner it's just classic and bold and it draws all the attention to the eyes. I stuck with this from when I was younger and this is the first time I've ventured away from my past goth inspired style. Rimmel Scandaleye products seem to be popping up all over Youtube but it is a rarity to find another nude eye liner on the market that isn't breaking the bank. This is just £3.99 so for me its a very good price the closest to this in my price range are the white eye liners and I just don't like them there too stark and just remind me of the sixties.


On the left I've used Maybelline Eyeliner-matic 
which until I changed to gel eyeliner was my go too liner.
I picked this for comparison as it has a similar
application and texture. I feel this look it more suited
to going out at night look .
It's edgy, strong and frames the eye.

On the right I've used the Rimmel Scandaleyes,
its a nice creamy texture the glides on without
irritating my eye and covers up 
any redness along the water line. It is a 
natural day look that perks the eyes 
up making them seem bigger and brighter.
This is a look I'll be wearing more 
often in the summer months.
