REVIEW | Maybelline Colour Tattoo in "On & On Bronze"


I jumped on the bandwagon, oops. I generally try not to (and usually fail...) but after around 6/7 years of "cat liner" I thought it was about time to give something new a go. 

The Maybelline Colour Tattoo's are described as a "cream gel shadow"and are very creamy. They go on very smooth and I haven't experienced much creasing as of yet (I've used it with both no primer and with Urban Decay's Primer Potion). I personally think the packaging is really lovely too, very simple looking and makes accessing the product very easy. 



The colour "On & On Bronze" is, as you would expect, a metallic bronze. I find it to be quite pigmented but can be blended out to a very sheer colour.  I generally pop it on as opaque as I can close to my lash line and then blend out, then define my lash line with a black eyeshadow and pop a bit of white in my inner eye. 



I've loved using this stuff so much that I've gone and bought "Permanent Taupe" too, and planning on getting "Timeless Black" "Immortal Charcoal" come payday. I absolutely love how it looks like you've made a huge effort but it's really taken a few minutes!

Have any of you guys tried these? Got any recommendations for something similar? I'm really enjoying experimenting with something other than liquid eyeliner!

Maybelline Colour Tattoo; On & On Bronze : Superdrug £4.99 (Or two for £10 currently, anyone else see the issue with that?! haha)

Autumn/Winter Wishlist


I don't know about you, but I love the transition from Summer to Autumn. Edinburgh is a very pretty place all year, but when the trees start to turn and everyone dons their wooly hats, it's a really lovely place to be. Winter will forever be my favourite season (I've been turned into a christmas lover in the past few years!) but I have a soft spot for Autumn for sure.

Here's what I'm lusting after to set me up for the colder months. My current "winter coat" is way too thin to keep me warm when the snow comes, but this one looks thick and pretty at the same time so it's at the top of my list, not sure if I should go for the red or black version though. However, it doesn't have a hood so this umbrella will be a must! 
Honestly, these boots are probably a mistake on the wet streets of Edinburgh, so I will be on the look out for some wellies too. I have issues finding boots to fit as I have chunky calves, so if anyone has any suggestions let me know! 
I've managed to lose my wooly hat, so this is really just a replacement and, as my fiancĂ© has told me too many times, I need another scarf like I need a hole in my head; but that wont stop me popping into Primark to pick up this lovely scarf. 

I think with these in my wardrobe I should be almost set for the colder weather (almost...). Let's hope the snow isn't as bad as last year.

What are you guys planning for your A/W wardrobe? Is it too soon to start counting down until christmas? Let me know!
