Maybelline Colour Tattoo - £4.99 Boots/Superdrug
I'm really surprised at how rare it is to find a cream eyeshadow amoungst the highstreet/drugstore brands these days and have always ended up eying the rather more expensive MAC Paint Pots. I've been looking forward to The Maybelline Colour Tattoos being released in the UK ever since seeing the hype surrounding them in the States and as of last Monday (although the official release date is in April) I spied these in Boots. I may be joining the Bloggers Bandwagon with this a little but I think they really are worth the attention.
At first I was a bit dissapointed with the colour range which seems to be much less extensive than those sold in America. I went for On and On Bronze, which looked like a warm toned copper with a few gold flecks - my kind of colour. Unfortunately though as you can seen in the picture above it turned into a really cool silvery brown on my eyes which didn't really suit me at all.
The consistency of this product however is beautiful. You get a really opaque but thin wash of colour that dries within a minute and doesn't budge all day. Although I haven't worn this alone, I was seriously impressed with how well it kept my eyeshadow on, crease free and true to colour all day. I even preferred using this to my regular Urban Decay Primer Potion as I felt I got a lot more colour pay off from my eyeshadows.
All in all, a great product. I haven't tried any of the MAC Paint Pots, something these Colour Tattoos are being frequently compared to, but I think for £4.99 they'd be a brilliant alternative. The only slight let down is the colour choice, but who knows, if these become as popular here as they were in the States, we'll hopefully be seeing a few more shades popping up!

I think I may just buy this for a primer use and the eyeshadow be a bonus haha! £4.99 is a great price, I'm always looking for eyeshadows which will last and aren't too expensive, this sounds perfect! xx
These look great, I've seen a couple of reviews and they've all said these are really good! The lack of colours is a bit of a shame though, hopefully they'll bring more out xx

Really want to give these a try, they're a really good price! The colour on your lids definitely does look a lot different to in the pot but still very pretty!

I seen them in boots, but I wasn't sure what colour to get so I didn't buy any. I been waiting for more reviews. Loving this one. x
Err everybody and their mum have been talking about these. Now I really need to go get a few!
I think it looks beautiful on you! You're right about how hard it is to find decent cream eyeshadows from drugstore brands. Really looking forward to these hitting our shores :)
I am dying to get grubby mitts on these!

Great effect!!!! I would immediately buy it just to have a fresh looking make up also after 10 hours of study-job-walking-or-whatever!
I have to say I absolutely love your blog! Now that I've seen your review on the colour tattoo I think I might have to go on a swatching spree in Boots/Superdrug (however mine are most likely to be sold out because they're rubbish like that!).
I think it really suits you too, :)
