Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadows.

I was so thrilled to hear that we were finally going to be getting the Maybelline 24 hours Color Tattoo Eyeshadows here, after seeing them on US you tubers channels and blogs for the past few months. I have a couple so far, but love them enough to want all of them - these are seriously good.

• On and on Bronze: Just a pretty shimmery bronze shade, no glitter involved, just a gorgeous smooth bronze with shimmer.

• Permanent Tapue: I love this, just a matte taupey grey shade. It's a great base for so many looks and I can't wait to use it more.

My swatches are just one swipe of each colour. I didn't over swipe to build up the colour, so you are seeing the pigmentation as it is. They are really creamy and smooth, and blendable, tonly if you blend them before they set, because once they do they are not budging.

Do they last for 24 hours though? .. Not for me, no. I got about 6 hours wear before I noticed a tiny bit of creasing, but please bear in mind that I have oily skin and lids, and MAC paintpots crease in the same amount of time on me. I think with UDPP underneath, or powder on top (I didn't use either when I tested them) they would last much longer. The colour stays bright throughout the wear and they look great alone, or as a base for other shadows.

According to the Boots website we have only 7 shades available to us in the UK. I'm pretty sure there are more in the US (Sadface! WHY?!) .. I definietly want to pick the others up and have them all, they are really great and totally comparable to a MAC paintpot, at a fraction of the price.

What do you think of these, have you tried them yet?

These are just £4.99! You can get them here.

- Sleek Makeup Blusher, Pomegranate.

I loveeee Sleek as a brand so much. Their eyeshadow palettes are my faves, but I also love the other products they do. The blushers are definitely among my favourites. I have quite a few now.

Today I wanted to do a post on Pomegranate. This blusher didn't interest me when it first came out. I thought it looked too dark and just 'blah'. But when I saw it with my own eyes I realised I was wrong. It is a lovely pink deep berry-ish shade that is amazingly pigmented, smooth and blendable.

This is one of the shimmer blushes, and it is insanely smooth and blends like butter (I said that already, right?) .. You need to use a light hand, but it gives such a pretty glow and flush of colour.

How pretty? That is one swipe!

I love Sleek! You can see their website here. This blush is here and is just £4.30!

Mont Bleu Review.

I was recently sent some products from Mont Bleu to review. They are a company based in Prague. They have a great website and produce glass nails files as well as a selection of other products from tweezers, to costume jewellry .. Take a look here.

They were kind enough to let me choose a selection of products, and this is what they sent me.

First impressions were great, I love the delicate crystals that decorate the items, it adds a nice girly touch of glamour. Everything came packaged really well, and I had the package within a week of dispatch.

First up, their Heart Crystal Nail File. Now, I have never used a glass file before, but I had read lots about them, and know that they are better for the nails than regular files, they help to strengthen, and they last for years apparently (I don't know about that yet - but if so, great!) .. It was weird for me to use at first after being so used to normal emery boards, but this is definitely tons better. It is so sturdy, it leaves my nails so much smoother and they don't chip or peel very much at all. I figure the more I use this, the better improved my nails will become. I am definitely converted! The tiny crytals attached to it just add a nice touch of glam, which I love.

Schwarzkopf [3D]MENSION Anti-Dandruff Range.

One for the men today, or the man in your life!

My boyfriend has recently been trying some products from the [3D]MENSION* range for men from Schwarzkopf.

Here are his words, written by me (for him!) ..

I like the bold coloured packaging, it stands out.

• 'Schwarzkopf [3D]MENSION Anti-Dandruff Shampoo ' .. Clear your hair and scalp of dandruff with the Schwarzkopf [3D]MENSION Anti Dandruff Shampoo, a deeply clarifying yet gentle formulation.

The shampoo doesn't have much of a scent to it, which I like and prefer. It lathers well and a little of it goes a long way (about a two pence piece size)  and it leaves my hair feeling soft and clean. It is specifically designed for people with dandruff, and I notced after a a single use that I didn't have any atall, and my scalp felt more soothed.

• 'Schwarzkopf [3D]MENSION Anti-Dandruff Tonic' .. Instantly relieve your itchy, flaky scalp with the Schwarzkopf [3D]MENSION Anti Dandruff Tonic, a deeply clarifying fluid that boosts the efficacy of the Anti-Dandruff Shampoo.

The tonic was a weird one for me. I am normally used to washing and going, but Sophie explained that I was to put it on after the shampoo and leave it in. I really like this, it has a stronger scent than the shampoo, but it is a manly, afstershave like scent, that is not overpowering. This is a gel that is applied to the scalp and it instantly cools and soothes my scalp. I really like it.

So there you have it. I think he liked it! He is definitely interested in trying other things from the range, and will definitely repurchase these items, they have really got rid of his dandruff so well. (Which pleases me!)
