Benefit World Famous Neutrals 'Easiest Nudes Ever' Kit

This is a product I bought a few months ago when ASOS were doing a 20% off special code. They normally retail for £23.50 so I got it for £18.80 plus free delivery. Some fairly good bargains to be had on ASOS for makeup!

Now, I bought this because it's a bit of a beginners guide to using neutral eyeshadows. The box comes with little 'how to' instructions for two different looks. From the below pic you can see they also include pictures so it's quite easy to follow.



It comes with six eye shadows with the most creative names that will certainly make you smile!





The cream shadows are in the shades:

R.S.V.P - A very light shimmery pink
No Pressure - Kind of a fawn colour

The powder shadows are in the shades:

Call My Bluff - A creamy beige
Thanks A Latte - A metallic brown
Pinky Swear - A very light baby pink
Quick Look Busy  - A very dark brown

As you can see from the swatches they are all very pigmented.

I should also add the cream shadows do come in a smaller tub that the ones you can buy seperately (their roughly the same size as a 2p coin and 3.2g in weight). Overall, I would say the cream shadows are very long lasting but after 7 hours the powder ones seem to fade away. 


I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to creating these defined smokey looks but here is my attempt at what the kit describes as the 'playtime' look.

Maybelline 24 Hour Colour Tattoo

Hello Lovely Readers!

So I recently purchased the Maybelline 24 Hour Colour Tattoo in 'On and on Bronze'. I've heard rave reviews on this so when visiting my local Tesco's I wasn't surprised to see it was the last one they had in stock! I think it has a reasonable price of £4.98 as I know MAC and Benefit sell similar cream eye shadows for around the £15 mark.

Once applied it dries very quick. I would say in around 2 - 3 minutes actually! And once dry - it doesn't budge either so there isn't much chance of smudging during the day.

I sweeped it across my lids so you can see what it looks like on, but every time I took a pic it just came out looking silvery!

To be honest it can look abit silvery due to the shimmer metalic effect. I'm in two minds about the colour. In one light I find it looks a tad bit like a taupe colour and in others I can see a light bronze.

 

Bronze?                  Taupe?

Overall I kept it on for a good 6 hours (no primer underneath or powder on top) and it really did stay on although there was slight creasing. In fact, I even had a shower and it still managed to stay on, so makeup wipes are a must with this!

Have you tried the Maybelline Colour Tattoo's? Which colours are your favourites?
