Maybelline Color Tattoo - Metallic Pomegranate & On And On Bronze // REVIEW

Hey guys! Sorry for this post being a day late, I didn't feel too well yesterday and didn't get a chance to write this up. Anyway, today's post is my review on the ever-talked-about the Maybelline Color Tattoos! A couple of months back I asked on Twitter what shades to buy, as I was desperate to try them, and On And On Bronze & Metallic Pomegranate were by far the most suggested shades, so I knew I had to get them (both shades are also perfect for Autumn/Winter.) Boots were doing buy one get one half price on most of their makeup products aswell, which meant these two only cost £7.49 together! Gel/cream products have got to have been one of the most discussed products this year, whether it was eyeshadows, blushers or eyeliner, but I have only just begun to pay much interest to them and having tried these two, I'm so glad I did!

On And On Bronze is a gorgeous bronze shade with a subtle golden undertone, and tiny silver glitter particles in. I think this is a better Autumn shade, rather than Metallic Pomegranate, as the bronze and golden highlights remind me of when all the leaves fall off the trees! Metallic Pomegranate is a burgundy-pomegranate shade, with gold glitter in it, which I think look lovely together and remind me of Christmas! Metallic Pomegranate does look a little too bold on me when used as the "main" eyeshadow, but I think it looks really pretty just on the outer corner, blended into the crease a little. The pigmentation of both shades is amazing and you only need a little bit to give quite an intense colour, so I can see this pot lasting me a very long time!

They each have a very smooth texture and don't feel at all grainy, even though they contain glitter, which makes them so easy to apply! They also act really well on dry skin as I have a little patch of dry skin at the moment that just won't budge (I think it's possibly eczema), and the settle perfectly on top. I was really impressed with the lasting power, when used with my Helen E eyeshadow primer (I'll get to without a primer in a little bit), they lasted around 8-9 hours and they only started to crease then! Strangely I noticed they didn't begin to crease at the same time on both of my eyelids, the left creased sooner than the right, which I've never noticed before with any of my other eyeshadows, has anyone else had that with this product?

I do have a couple of negatives however; Firstly they can be a little awkward to apply with your finger, as they can go a little patchy, with parts of your eyelid with more on than the other parts. My other negative is that they really don't last well without a primer, mine started to crease after about 2 hours, which isn't tremendously great if you are in rush and don't have time to apply/don't own a primer! 

Overall I was very impressed with the Maybelline Color Tattoos! I admit, they maybe aren't as great as the hype leads you to believe they are, in terms of application and lasting power without a primer, but they are still an amazing cream eyeshadow. I will definitely have to try some more shades! Any suggestions?
