UK Version Maybelline Color Tattoo 24H in Pink gold and Eternal gold review and swatches

These Maybelline Color Tattoo cream shadows are only available in the UK. I was lucky enough to pick up these really pretty colors in the local Superdrug when I went to London, and I love these colours so much! They are much more subtle in color compared to the US versions that consists of really vibrant colors like orange,teal,emerald and others. Since I love neutral make up, these are very suitable for me :)

I think by now everyone in the beauty community would know the awesomeness of this particular drugstore cream shadow line. They are highly pigmented and can be used alone or as a eye shadow base. These prove to be very long lasting and although I did not like the color "Too Cool" which is a frosty white shimmery cream shadow I could not pull of, Pink Gold and Eternal Gold are really pretty!

65 Pink Gold is a medium pink color that has gold undertone shimmers.

05 Eternal Gold is a pretty light gold color.

Haul: ZA Cosmetics X Tokyo Ed Tsuwaki Edition Set (How to colour matchwith the new formula)

I love the new ZA Limited Edition case because it's super duper cute!! I have previously bought the limited jazzy bubbles edition and this time to commemorate ZA's launch in Tokyo, they have decided to work with Japan's leading artist Ed Tsuwaki( actually I have no ideawho this guy was until I read the info behind the box.LOL)

Se includes:
- 1 Limited Edition Foundation Case
- 1 Limited Edition Za x Nippon Canvas Tote
- 2 Perfect fit Two -Way Foundation Refill

I haven't tried the new formula yet except when I was testing the colour in watsons. I got matched to the OC20 which is equivalent to no.23 , while previously I use the no.22. The sales lady told me that due to the new brightening formula the colour tends to lean a bit lighter.

Canmake Cover and Stretch Concealer Review

I have been waiting to put together all three swatches of the concealer colours because 1 of them was with my sister.

Without further a due, I will review this item and let me tell you it is my Holy Grail Concealer!!!

Pros:
-Coverage is very opaque
-Lasting Power: Doesn't budge at all through out the day because of it's waterproof properties
- SPF of 25PA++ (spf is always a plus)
- Can cover acne, scarring, blemish, dark circles etc.
- Highly affordable Japanese drugstore brand
- Colour matches most asian skin tones(since it is a Japanese brand and sold in Asia) , which means it matches me :)
- Highly blendable with fingers/ brushes

Cons:
- For darker skintones , there is no shade available for you
- Hard to find if it's not in Asia/ must buy online for others

Overall this is definately an awesome concealer I cannot emphasise more how I recommend this more than any other concealers I have tried. I do like my Sonia Kashuk but it can trnd to be cakey / settle on dry flakes. Canmake Cover and Stretch concealer is a liquid formula that is awesome to put anywhere on your face.

I have bought this many times and my sister loves it too.. We have been using this from the start of our make up journey and still use it until today.

Although the Silver print does fade off, there is a sticker on the bottom to know your colour. The packaging is simple and it has a wand/doe foot applicator that is useful.

Colour description according to me :

No.1 Light Beige
- a light beige colour / fair with yellow undertones

No.2 Natural Beige
- a medium beige colour with neutral undertones

No.3 Ochrel Beige
- a medium beige darker than shade 2 with yellow undertones


LOVE THIS !!!

FairyDrops Platinum Mascara Water Proof Type Review and Pictures

This is a great mascara that is proven to be waterproof, holds my eyelash curl all day and has fibres that lengthens my lashes.

I love using this with my Dior extase Mascara, the combo results in my short straight asian eye lashes to stand up and look full.

This is a perfect base for my lashes because without applying this first, Dior EXTASE just weighs down my lashes and seem too thick.

The curved brush with 3 balls really helps separate my lashes and coat them evenly.

All in all this is a mascara i highly recommend for people with Short, Straight and Sparse lashes !! This is a total lash saviour! It also lasts all day because of it's waterproof properties but it takes more time to remove this mascara with a make up remover.

I washed my full face make up face and this mascara cannot be removed with water. So if you are not a fan of super non-budging hard to remove mascara I do not recommend this item.

It is buildable and you can see it from the pic collection that I have made. All in all I love this !!

Love,
Cherry :)

Revlon Photoready Bronzer Limited Edition Escapism Summer 2012Collection Review&Swatches

This bronzer came out in the Revlon by Gucci Westman Escapism Collection for Summer 2012.

Since this is a Limited Edition Item, if you can get your hands on it and you have a medium complexion, I would highly suggest you to purchase it! 

This bronzer consist of 4 colours (I am going to describe each individually) all of the colours are matte but have different undertones in my opinion. Matte bronzers are favorable because they give a much more natural effect, which is good. Especially for bronzer beginners who are afraid to contour!

1. The lightest shade is a yellow toned light brown colour.

2. The shade on top right is a neutral tone medium brown colour.

3. The bottom right is a orange tone medium brown colour.

4. The darkest shade is a neutral tone medium-dark brown colour.

The packaging is pretty hefty for a drugstore item, it is made of plastic but looks refined from the outside. It contains a mirror and also a cheap plastic brush that has rough bristles. I usually contour using my favorite Shu Uemura 14H angled brush. I have never used the brush included because I put it away and do not need it. For people who like brushes in their product that are small and easy to carry around, it might be quite handy, but I just don't really like it :)

I did not swatch these colours heavily, but I must say the pigmentation is very nice and the powder formulation glides on smoothly, and is highly blendable when applied to my face for contouring.

It also lasts on my skin and does make you "PHOTOREADY", with flash or non flash photography, this bronzer contours the shape of my face like wonders. 

All in all, it has become my favorite bronzer for contouring because I can mix up the shades and use it for different parts of my face. I like contouring my nose with a lighter, subtle colour or else it will look highly unnatural. The other 3 colours are nice for contouring my cheekbones and jaw line. 

You can watch this bronzer in action in my make up tutorials, visit my youtube beauty channel under the account : cherrythoughts

I highly recommend this item as this has become my favorite!! Grab it while you still can :)

See you in the next post!!
