Aloha Sprinklerinos,
Amongst way too many other products, I recently purchased two of the highly talked about Maybelline 24 Hour Colour Tattoos.
Out of the seven colours that Boots stock, I bought 'On and On Bronze' and 'Turquoise Fever'. The bronzey brown is such an easy colour to utilise and I thought the blue would look amazing this summer.
I know this is only a small gripe, but I do think the names could be worked on a little. 'On and On Bronze'? What's that about?! I heard on the blogging grapevine (my favourite of the grapevines) that those crazy kids across the pond have different names for theirs. Strange.
Little glass pots with chunky screw lids, filled with smooth, cream eyeshadow. Remind you of any high end alternatives? Yes, these are VERY similar to MAC Paint Pots and this pleases me muchly. Especially as the Maybelline alternative retails for £4.99 which is a snip in comparison to it's pricey MAC counterpart.
I absolutely love these little cream shadows. They work great as a quick fix when you're in a rush- I like to use my ring finger and apply 'On and On Bronze' all over the lid. They are super duper primers for your powder or pigment products, with no creasing and no sliding half way down your face (such a good look) and the colour is very easy to build. I plan on wearing the 'Turquoise Forever' as an eyeliner, either under the water line or on my eyelid, I'm still undecided. Also, as the name 'tattoo' would suggest, these last and last! Hurrah!
I really hope that Maybelline brings more colours to the UK so that I can pick up a few more of these. I'd quite like to see a pearly pinky shade that I could use as a base for iridescent glitter.I'm so glad these are on the market and would encourage you to give them a little swatch next time you're near a Maybelline stand.
Have you tried these or any of the other colours? Are you swayed by the hype? I know I am!
Toodlepip!

i have theee turquoise, gold and silver-y ones but im desperate to find a bronze! i absolutely adore them they just last and last and last <3
ReplyDeleteI really want the purple one but cant seem to find it anywhere near me! i think it would look great with my green eyes:) xx
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing about the name! I think the American one is called bad to the bronze which sounds so much better. On and on bronze.. psh. xx
ReplyDeleteOn and On Bronze is one i'd like to try.
ReplyDeletegreat review :D i really want to try the bronzey colour, but agree with you in that i'd love to see a pearly pinky shade! your new look blog is looking amazing too btw!! :D xxxx
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with the bronze shade (yep... odd name), it's just so versatile. It makes a great base, shadow on its own or liner - fab! x

I want the bronze one now that I've seen it! I love bronze and brown shades in general for the make up of my eyes! :) I'll check it out! But you're right, they could have chosen a better name haha
ReplyDeleteXXX
i realy want to get some i might getsome this weekend
ReplyDeleteOoo these look lovely, will have to give them a try next time i go to town :)
ReplyDeleteI love these. I have them in a few colours my favourites are the gold, silver and taupe. Oh and I saw that Superdrug had 3 for 2 on Maybelline last week, so well worth a look.
ReplyDeleteomg those were soo hot .. i luv the brown one most <3
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forwards to trying these out. They look like a great dupe for Mac's paintpot. Great post!

I love these, I haven't got the bronze one yet, I have the light creamy gold. The next one for me to get is the bronze though. :)
ReplyDeleteI prefer the UK names, the bronze on in America is called "Bad to the Bronze" I believe. It made me cringe because I kept picturing the Karate Kid.
After typing that I also realise I probably sound absolutely bonkers.
Great post, Louise!

ReplyDeleteI bought the bronze and gold ones, which are the best for everyday looks and bronzey smokey eyes...I couldn't decide whether the blue was too bright but youre right it would work really well as a gel eyeliner, especially for the summer! :) xxxx
ReplyDeleteI love the golden colours, so pretty!

Oo I'm so temped to go out and buy thease tomorrow, especially the touqiouse forever color. They look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! **jumps off couch, runs out door into car to go Walgreens (one of our "SuperDrug" - type stores** :-) Here in the US, the bronze is indeed called "Bad to the Bronze" and the Teal one is called "Tenacious Teal"
ReplyDeleteSo funny how the same brand either releases different things in one country to the next or releases the same things with different names...

Heh - 2 days ago I did a post on these too - including both those colours - which are actually my favourites :)
ReplyDeletehttp://makeup-pixi3.blogspot.co.uk/
I have five of these and love them! In the US I have "Bad to the Bronze", "Tough as Taupe", "Too Cool" - a white great for highlighting, "Pomegranate Punk" and "Bold Gold". They are awesome, and on me they last all day without creasing, even if I don't wear a primer underneath. I am slowly buying them all - I wish they made more.
ReplyDeleteI have four of these bad boys; Tough as Taupe, Pomegranate Punk, Bad to the Bronze (or On and On Bronze in the UK),and my personal favorite Painted Purple which is kinda like Stars'N'Rockets from MAC in cream form.

I have been wanting to buy these for ages! Unfortunately the boots near me either has testers that have completely dried out, or there just aren't any 8-) .. No justice.
ReplyDeleteBut judging from your swatches, I must get my hands on that Turquoise one! Blue is great for making brown eyes (which I have) pop!
