Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Gel Eye Shadow Audacious Asphalt Review, Swatches and EOTD

11 Replies

One of the things I love about Maybelline is the affordable Color tattoo range that is a fantastic dupe of MAC paint pots. Available in a huge number of colors, these are really great for those who want a strong base color to stick to their eyes for at least 10-12 hours. I personally adore these and today, I am going to review one of my picks, Audacious Asphalt.


Price: 

Rs.350 for 4 gm

 

My Take:

Packaging: The packaging of this eye shadow is simply done. A round heavy glass pot, similar to MAC paint pot or Benefit Crease-less cream shadow, contains the product. The name of the product is clearly written on one side and the other side shows the color properly. That makes this package easy to locate, and very travel-friendly.

Texture and Application: The texture of the eye shadow is gel-like, which needs to be worked with quickly before it sets. Personally, I find it very easy to use my fingers to tap some on as my base and then apply other colors over it. It glides on easily, and can be made as sheer or opaque as it can be. In both cases, the color is a definite plus for the product.

Color and Blending: Steel grey with silver shimmers is what I would describe the color as. The pigmentation is amazing. One swipe and I could see my finger coming off with perfect amount of color to work with. I have to blend it in fast, because once it sets, it sets, and acts as a fantastic eye primer as well for other colors that go over it. It does not fall off, crease, and can be used both as a liner and as a shadow, with the right brush. It does not sting my waterline, so safe for my lower lash line.

Staying Power: The staying power is AMAZING. It does not crease or fade, and stays put on my eyelids for about 9-16 hours easily. That is right, 16 hours is the max I have worn this eye shadow and it was perfect till the end, fading just a bit on the edges. I had to use a makeup remover to remove it and I am super impressed with the staying power.

PROS:

  • Great color
  • Blends easily
  • Does not sting water line
  • No fallout
  • Does not crease
  • Long staying power
  • Travel-friendly package

CONS:

  • You will need a maker remover to remove this

 

Rating: 4.75/5

 

My Recommendation:

Overall, I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is a beginner or a pro at makeup. This is a color which is easy to work with and goes great with a lot of things. A must-have for a makeup lover.

Inglot System Empty Palettes 5 Rounds Review and Photos

9 Replies

Hey friends,

Today I am going to review something different.. not a lipstick or any makeup product.. Ahh ! I guess my title tells everything. So let’s get started. I am reviewing the Inglot Palette in 5 Rounds.


Price:

Rs.850 (The new one)


Small Pallete: 

Rs.350

My Experience:

You must be wondering why I am putting pictures of two palettes? I admit both are freedom system and round 5 Inglot palettes but there are few differences which I am going to show you today.

Okay in the first picture you can see both the palette carton are same but differ in sizes. Yes they vary in length. Well, both the palettes are different in looks too. The small palette costs me Rs.350 which I brought some ages ago.. while the large palette with the translucent lid with Inglot printed on it costs Rs.850 which I grabbed recently in mother’s day offer that was going on in Inglot.

Both the palettes come in matte black case.

The small one comes in with a black sturdy case with a mirror and a space of lip brush holder along with the 5 empty round spaces for Inglot refills. This palette is light in weight, easy to handle and travel friendly as it has mirror in it and a lip brush holder 🙂

The second palette comes with sturdy translucent lids with magnets in it that hold the pan right on its place. The magnets are so strong that the lid won’t be moved unless it is moved manually. The lid fits with the pan due to strong magnet in it. The translucent lid with Inglot printed in it is a very cute packaging but I found it little heavy in weight while comparing with the other palette.

The empty palette comes in 3, 5, 10 empty spaces (at least I saw these three palettes in (Kolkata Inglot store)

 

Now My Like Among Two:

Definitely I like the small palette with mirror in it as I found it more travel friendly but I guess these palettes are now changed in to the that bigger one with translucent lid and they increased its price.


Rating: 4/5


My Recommendation:

I admit the empty palette of Inglot is pricey but if you have one then you can customize this palette like your wish which I found being fun to do during travelling by changing the refills. Go get it!
