Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoo | On and On Bronze

Hi Beauties. I must be the last person in the entire blogging world to get my hands on the much hyped and raved about Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoo Eyeshadows. I finally decided to cave in and give one ago the other week whist they were on offer in Boots. Like everyone else and all the reviews I have read, I have found that I have fallen in love with these little pots of metallic loveliness and they are definitely worth having in your makeup collection. Now I know there must be loads of reviews out there on these little beauties, but I thought I would give you my opinion on them as it might make you re-kindle your love with yours again or you may have missed the boat just like me and not tried one yet; so this little post maybe the deciding factor for you.

So while I was in Boots, I decided that it was necessary to swatch every single 24hr Colour Tattoo shade that they had out on the stand and after all that swatching I decided to only purchase one which was the shade 'On and On Bronze'. This shade has to be the most beautiful and most wearable out of the lot; I love wearing bronze/golds and browns on my eyes, so this shade suited me down to a T! 

On and On Bronze has gorgeous pigmentation and the colour is just divine. As you can see from the swatches its a gorgeous bronze, with gold/champagne undertones to it and for those wondering, it dries with a frost finish. It's easily applied using the tips of your fingers and will glide smoothly and evenly onto your eye lids. One thing I have loved about the Colour Tattoo has to be the fact that its very buildable and if you use a light hand you can get a softer metallic shade or go the other end of the scale and wear a much more dramatic eye with using more product. As the name of this product suggests, its supposed to last up to 24hrs once applied. Now I've have not been able to test this statement just because I don't wear my makeup for this long; But what I can say is that every time I have worn this, I've had no creasing on the eyes and its stayed put. This shadow also makes a great base in which to apply powdered shadows. 

For those of you who have wondered why I've put off getting one 24hr Colour Tattoo's for this long, is because I've found in the past that I don't really get on with any creme based eyeshadows. This is just because I have extremely sensitive skin, especially around the eye area and have found in the past, I've had a lot of bad reactions (swelling, redness and dry skin around my eyes) when using a creme based formula, so I was a little worried about trying these. The only creme based eyeshadows I do get along with have to be the Mac Paintpots. However I thought the Colour Tattoo was worth a try just because they are so pretty and I had a 'what the hell' moment and thought id just go for it and try it. Thankfully I had nothing to worry about at all as the Colour Tattoo didn't irritate my skin in any way shape or form and I was able to to wear it like any other person... Good result!

Overall I am over the moon I bought the 24hr Colour Tattoo which is so affordable at £4.99  from Boots and as its been my recent go too eyeshadow. I am keen to add some more shades to my collection and have  got my eye on 'Permanent Taupe' and 'Eternal Gold', but I know that Maybelline have realised more shades of the Colour Tattoo in the US, so I am hoping that they will be released over here very soon.
