Maybelline Colour Tattoos Review




Swatches- On and on Bronze on the left and Pink Gold on the right

So everyone who is interested in makeup, whether through blogging or youtube or whatever, raves about these, so I of course had been wanting to pick up a few. When my birthday came in March my friend actually bought me these and I was so happy. Since then I have been meaning to write this review (meaning the photos are rather old) and now finally I have got round to it.
These are perfect for when I can't be bothered to put on eyeshadow properly or if I'm in a rush as they can be worn alone or alternatively can be used as a base/primer for other eyeshadows to help them stay on all day and reduce creasing. Their staying power really is pretty phenomenal, I tend to have quite oily eyelids so these are very helpful for me and make a great base. I have also been able to get away with wearing these to school even though we are only meant to wear subtle makeup, which is really nice :)


I really think I should add some more colours, what do you recommend?

Katy Perry Oh Honey False Eyelashes Review

These were my first pair of false eyelashes so I don't really have anything to compare these to, but I must say I love them. I bought them after reading a lot of good reviews and it was a toss up between the 'Oh Honey' and 'Sweetie Pie' ones. 
 They have a clear band so you could definitely wear these without eyeliner plus it means that they are really flexible and because they are natural looking ones they are very light too. All in all they are very comfortable to wear and the glue that comes with them works really well. The only problem I had with them is that I'm not really sure they made all that difference to me appearance wise because I have pretty long lashes anyway. You can definitely notice when my eyes are closed, but when they are open they look very natural and not that much longer than my natural lashes so next time I might be tempted to go for a pair that's a little heavier.


I bought these for £5.95 in Superdrug but unfortunately I went into Bodycare afterwards to buy some St Moriz tan and unfortunately found the exact same pair for £4. I was a little heartbroken, my friends (Hi Bronagh!) already know this because I spent quite a while complaining about this! So the moral of the story is that you should shop around!


As you can probably tell, I wasn't great at putting the lashes on, but it was my first go, so please let me off? The left one ended up a bit wonky and I really struggled with making the inner corners stay down but I think I sorted it out in the end. Overall considering it was the first time I've ever tried putting them on I think I did alright, but I think that was thanks to watching Pixiwoo's video to be honest, very helpful for a first timer!


Please bare in mind (Or bear in mind?) that the two photos below were taken after I got home from the party as I was taking the lashes off, so I'm sorry if I'm looking a little worse for wear. Being the idiot that I am though, I didn't think to get a photo with and without lashes, comparing the two. So basically, on the left is me with the lashes and on the right is my natural lashes without mascara or anything on. I'd also like to apologise for the bottom photo being out of focus, but you can kind of see it still...?



So all in all I'm really happy with these lashes and I really hope that they will last a while. Have any of you tried Katy Perry lashes or the Eyelure ones before, any styles that you could recommend me to try out next?
