Maybelline Eyestudio Color Tattoo 24hr Cream

I love cream eyeshadow, compared to powder ones, but I hadn't got any proper cream/gel eyeshadows, I had been using little pots that had came in eye kits and sets and decided it was time to try a proper one and bought Maybelline's! I have to say, the only products I had been impressed with out of the maybelline range has been the mascaras so I was a bit worried after purchasing the cream eyeshadow in eternal gold, but I worried over nothing, the product is amazing! 

The product comes in a little glass pot with a twist cap which is very handy. 

The eyeshadow is very shimmery, so if you dont like glittery/shimmery products for eyes this creamy eyeshadow is not for you! The colour is really buildable which is brilliant! 

I love these eyeshadows, some people have said they find that the pot of colour dries out quite quickly, I probably haven't had mine long enough to experience that but I haven't had any problems with it yet. 

Each pot is £4.99 on Boots and for the product which you get, I think this is a very reasonable price 

Pros: buildable, reasonable price, good amount of product, good packaging 
Cons: shimmery (if you don't like shimmer) 

I highly recommend these little pots, be sure to pick one up in your local chemist!

Amazing Highstreet BB cream

After a lot of anticipation I decided to try BB cream, and I have to say I am more than impressed! 

I have been using Witch naturally clear for over the past year, the products are cheap and effective for blemish prone skin, so when I heard that they were bringing out a BB cream I couldn't resist! The bottle claims. The BB cream is also £4.66 which is absolutely amazing! 'Witch's Beauty Balm is ideal for blemish prone skin. It evens out skin tone and hydrates  while providing an immediate improvement in the appearance of your skin. SPF 15 protects the skin whilst the natural witch hazel helps it clear leaving you flawless radiant and natural'

The BB cream itself comes in a clean looking blue squeezy tube. It is very easy to use with its twist cap.  








As you can see, the BB cream is extremely light in colour, at the moment (because it's the summer) the BB cream is too light for me, although during winter months, it fits me perfectly. 

When the BB cream is squeezed it it looks like its got tiny tiny bits of colour, which really isn't the case, I don't know what they are, but they are not a problem in any way. 

As you can see in the picture below, the BB cream looks a bit like a liquid foundation rather than a tinted moisturizer, which assured me that it would have higher coverage unlike some other high street brands of BB cream in the UK.







When rubbed in, the BB cream has a matte finish, which tends to be better for people with blemish prone skin. As you can see from above and below, the scab which my kitten gave me is almost invisible! It feels extremely light and when you touch it on your face it doesn't feel sticky. 

 

The BB cream is longwearing, it lasts me from 6:45 am in the morning to 6:00 pm, which is fabulous! 

Pros:   matte finish, medium coverage-buildable, longwearing, cheap 
Cons: Terrible colour range- One colour  

I recommend this BB cream to anyone with a pale/light skin tone! 

This BB cream is amazing, if you have a light skin tone, you should definitely try this!
