eyeshadow

The other day while trolling around Walgreens, I came upon a display with 4 new limited edition shades of the oh, so popular Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo Cream Eyeshadows ($6.99).  All 4 shades were gorgeous, vibrant jewel toned colors.  I opted to purchase 3 of the 4; Fuchsia Fever, Test My Teal and Ready, Set, Green.  The one I didn’t buy, Blue On By, was a cobalt blue shade.

The first thing I noticed about these, when I first opened them, was their uneven texture.  They seemed lumpy and bumpy, especially Fuchsia Fever.  I’d never seen that with all the ones I’ve purchased before so I was immediately worried that maybe the formula was off a bit.  Fuchsia Fever was even cracked around the edges so I expected them to be maybe drier than normal.

For Fall 2012, four limited edition shades of the Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Eyeshadows ($6.69) were released.  I had a hard time getting my hands on these but once I finally found them I picked up two, Barely Beige and Rich Mahogany.  The other two colors were a gold and a green.  I’m not really into gold eyeshadows so I passed on that one.  And the green one looked almost exactly like the Shimmering Moss cream eyeshadow by Tarte that I already own.

I love these Maybelline Color Tattoo shadows because they are so creamy and easy to use.  Plus the price is amazing once you compare them to other similar potted cream eyeshadows on the market.  You’ll pay upwards of $18 for just one cream eyeshadow from brands such as MAC, Bobbi Brown, Benefit and Make Up For Ever.  You may even luck out with a buy one, get one 50% sale on these at your local drugstore!
