Maybelline Colour Tattoo: Light In Purple!

 

Hey hi hello!

 

I have expressed my love for the Maybelline Colour tattoos quite a few times over the course of the last couple of months and when I found out they had brought out a couple more shades I went on a hunt in Boots. A woman on a mission is what I was at the time. The shade that really caught my eye was 'light in Purple' which is a lovely looking purple with loads of blue shimmer.

 

 

 

I attempted to get the camera to pick up the colour properly but it seems pretty impossible, these pictures are the closet I got. To me, in person, it seems as though there is loads and loads of blue shimmer so in pretty much every light it looks blue, which I personally adore!

 

I haven't really used this many times yet but I think it's a truly amazing colour. One thing I have however noticed is that it seems slightly less pigmented than the other colours in the same range so you have to pack more onto the lid, it isn't a massive deal though.

 

 

This is one look I created with the shadow, I put a light brown over the top of the Maybelline colour, I was experimenting really to see how wearable the colour was, truthfully I really liked the way it turned out! In certain lights the blue and purple were visible and very glittery but it was very toned down compared to wearing the colour on it's own.

 

Overall I'm not sure how often I'll use this shadow, I think it may be better for a night out or something where I move out of my comfort zone a little and be more open to less neutral eye shadow colours!

 

Side note: How adorable is that daisy chain necklace. In love with it! :P

Hey guys!

 

I got home from Leeds late last night after a coach journey full of drama, including being rudely woken up by some kids throwing bricks at the bus window, thankfully no-one was harmed, although the window did break. Idiots, the lot of them! I did have a great time though, spend wayyyy too much money on things I totally did not need.

 

On another note, it's finally Spring! Aces! Yes it's still cold, but I'm a Geordie, I have a good thick skin, I'm immune to cold. Not really, but I don't get cold too easily, I didn't wear a coat today. Today was a day of gardening, yes I like gardening, going to the local shops to get some things for dinner and doing some work, so nothing too fancy.. I did do my make-up though, mainly to procrastinate.

 

I got this amazing cat ear hat on Ebay right here, I adore it! I'm pretty sure you can get them in Toshop but they're pretty expensive. Yes, I still have a hat obsession but I've moved on from beanies to bowler hats for spring... Are you really surprised?

 

 

My cropped top is from Primark for a whole £6! I love anything Disney and this is such a nice length. It usually reaches my belly button but it rides up a bit sometimes, which, depending on my bottoms, I don't mind. I've been wearing this with skater skirts too, not tucked in, and it looks really cute too! My jeans are also a Primark special, as usual.

 

 

I went for a quick brown smoky eye using Maybelline colour tattoo in 'On and On Bronze' all over the lid and then a dark brown shimmer on the outside of my eye, blending them together a little. Super quick and easy, it took like 30 seconds to do and the cream shadow is so pigmented and easy to apply with just your finger. I used the Illamasqua lipgloss in 'fierce' over a light pink lipstick and used Rimmel 'Santa Rose' as a blush.

 

 

 

Hats are coming in very handy right now because my hair needs dyed so badly and it just looks dirty constantly! But hopefully by tomorrow my hair will be all platinum blonde and pretty again!

Hope you're all having a great day!
