Uncompleted tattoo...

As the USA bloggosphere seem to have recovered from the big excitement around the release of the Maybelline Creme Eyeshadow Colour Tattoo cream eyeshadow and that their tattoos might be gathering dust by now, the UK seems to be finally catching up.







There is only one ‘slight’ problem. Not only did we (or my Superdrug anyway) only get 3 shades out of the 10 available but the shades we have seem to be totally different. I am confused. Where is the gorgeous taupe and the sultry pomegranate? Are we really only getting 3 shades?


Is that it?






So it is a lot of sadness and disappointment that I am only able to show you swatches of the 3 colours I have found. I can confirm that these are incredibly long lasting on my hand, I have yet to purchase some and test how they fare on the eyelid and how much creasing they will generate.









Maybelline Color Tattoos are available in selected Superdrug stores and can be purchased at £4.99.

I am lusting over ….

… these new babies which popped up in my Superdrug. Feast your eyes on these *cough* gorgeous and professional pictures LilooPR sent me.  New from Maybelline (well, new for me) this range of 10 cute nail polishes priced at £2.99 each.






 







The MNY American website shows that they are actually 41 shades of nail polishes to be had, along a vast range of makeup items, ranging from eyeshadows, lip balms, lip glosses, to name but a few, all sporting the cute packaging. I can’t get over how pretty the website is. It’s too pretty to be wasted on teens really.





Anyway, back to the real world of my little Superdrug, It was really hard resist the temptation to take some home with me. If I allowed myself to be naughty, these would have been my personal selection.






Any of you tried this range yet? Are you tempted?

Maybe she's born with it …

… Maybe she’s swatched it in the shop.





I was excited to see these new lip products today from my Boots store on special introductory offer: Meet the new Maybelline New York Superstay 24hr Lipcolor.

They say:

”Stretches your limits of longwear. No crumbling, no fading, no transferring, no drying, no smudging, Maybelline New York's longest wear. Flex formula keeps Maybelline New York Superstay 24hr Lipcolor gorgeous for up to 24 hours.

Why you'll love Maybelline New York Superstay 24hr Lipcolor:
- Micro-Flex formula glides on and looks gorgeous all day
- No crumbling, no caking, no fading, no feathering, no transferring
- 2-step lip colour in one pack.
For best results:
Apply the liquid color to your clean, bare lips. Allow a full two minutes to dry, then apply ultra-conditioning balm to seal in softness. Reapply balm as needed. Remove with an oil-based makeup remover"

Now this is where it all gets a bit complicated.
The official american website boasts to offer 30 shades in the range, the official british website holds 18 shades,  the boots website holds 18 shades, and my little poxy boots offers 8 shades. Here are my 3 favourite:




from left to right: Absolute Plum, Rose Dust and Soft Taupe. These are sold at £7.99 for a short period only (normal RRP: £8.99) 




Rose dust is gorgeouuuuus! Why do we get only 18 shades when 30 have been released, huh?
