Maybelline Baby Lips: Review and Lip Swatches - Pink Punch & Cherry Me

After taking more than a month off due to personal reasons, I'm Back!

 I have lots of lovely makeup and fashion-y things I want to share with you, but I thought for my first post I would share my thoughts on something I have been absolutely loving lately.

These have been hyped up a lot within the blogging world, but from the blogs I follow I have seen mainly negative reviews. I absolutely love these lip balms, they feel really moisturizing and smell amazing.

The colour is buildable: I swipe them on my lips a few times to get the maximum effect but if you wanted less colour just swipe once. Excuse the mug shots, but I wanted to show the product on the lips and how lovely they look!

Side note: I am wearing Rimmel Match Perfection foundation in the pictures, I have rediscovered my love for it. It photographs beautifully and looks great in person - it is such an underrated foundation!

They are very moisturizing and feel lovely on the lips. The moisturizing effect doesn't last an amazing length of time, but if I don't eat or drink it lasts around 3 hours.

For £2.99 these are great, and I thoroughly recommend these two colours. I want to pick up the remaining colours and then maybe try the colourless one. I have tried a lot of lip balms, and I can safely say that these are my favorite!

Have you tried these yet?

Maybelline 24 Hour Color Tattoo Collection

When these products were released there was a slight hype surrounding them and I couldn't wait to go out and buy them. I am glad to say that for me, they lived up to that hype.

I have three of these now and I love them all. If you don't  know they are gel/cream eyeshadows which claim to last 24 hours. I have never worn them for that long but I have worn them a good 12 hours and they lasted really well with no creasing or fading.

 I have reviewed On and On bronze in more detail here. Taupe I found to have a slightly thicker consistency which made it a little tougher to apply than On and On Bronze. It is also the only matte of the bunch. Eternal Silver was the same consistency an On and On Bronze and applied like a dream.

They are such good products and a steal at £4.99. I plan on getting the remaining colours for my collection soon.

What do you think of these, did they live up to the hype for you?

Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24 Hour Cream Gel Shadow Review

I have finally got my hands on one of these! As soon as I bought it I had to try it out. I got it in the colour 'On and On Bronze', which as the name suggests is a gorgeous shimmery bronzey colour.

excuse the fingerprint, I couldn't contain myself and tested this out as soon as I got it haha 

It is more gel like in consistency than a cream. It applies so easily and smooth, and blends like a dream. 

Once on this colour isn't going to budge until you get your makeup remover out. It lasted all day on me without fading or creasing. I also used a lighter colour shadow on top of it in the inner v of my eye, and this lasted really well.

One thing to note though is that this never fully dried on my eyes, it stayed tacky, but never creased. If I rubbed my eyes it did transfer off, but this isn't a major problem, I Just need to stop rubbing my eyes! 

The price is excellent, at just £4.99 each, most of us can afford to get a few of these, and that's what I plan on doing. I have my eye on 'Tough as Taupe'and 'Eternal Silver', but hopefully I will have them all in my collection eventually! Unfortunately, they haven't released all the colours that are available in the US here in the UK, and I am a bit disappointed as there is a gorgeous colour called 'Pomegranate Punk'. 

I would definitely recommend getting one of these if your like me and pushed for time, its so easy to just sweep this on and you're good to go.
