Maybelline 24 Hour Color Tattoo by Eye Studio in Bold Gold and Bad to the Bronze

Hey dolls!

My sister gave me some of her makeup and among them are these eyeshadow pots from Maybelline. I already own other shades but what I like with the ones my sister gave is that they are neutral in shade, and since they are long lasting, they can act as an eyeshadow base.

Here are they are...

Review : Maybelline EyeStudio Crayon Brow in Brown

Hey dearies!

I was doing groceries some weeks ago and saw that some Maybelline products were on display in one of the isles. The most affordable from the bunch was this brow pencil...

Maybelline EyeStudio Crayon Brow in Brown

I was able to get it for PhP 99.00. I don't know if that was a discounted price or the regular price but I thought that it was so cheap and that it wouldn't hurt my wallet if I decide to get one to try out. If I like it, then that would be great since I would have a cheaper alternative compared to the recent brow products I use.

So obviously, I bought one. Only one shade was available at the Save More branch I was in—brown. My hair is colored (I think this is like a coffee bean brown...?) so I thought that was good. And if I base it on the color of the brows of the model on the packaging, I think it's pretty close to my hair color.

Info from the website:

EYESTUDIO CRAYON BROWLINER

Defines brows naturally.

Easy to use eyebrow pencil that creates natural looking brows instantly.

Creates natural looking brows instantly!

• Delivers precise application for evenly defined brows

• All day wear

• Comes with natural shades to match brow colors

• Easy to sharpen with sharpener

• Safe for sensitive eyes and ophthalmologist-tested

• Contact lens safe

What I like about brow pencils is that I don't need those angled brow brushes anymore that I need if I use powdered or gel brow products. I only need a sharpener every once in a while.

It's easy to carry around too and design-wise, I think it's a mix of girly and classy!

Given the right sharpener, the product won't break easily. It doesn't get too soft during the hot weathers so you won't get to experience the product breaking/sliding off from the pencil during application.

Everything seems good until I swatched it...

As you can see in the photo above, the swatch of the product is a pale brown shade. Don't get me wrong, this would be great for those who have fine brow hair strands... but for me who has thick ones, it will look odd. It's nowhere near the shade on the packaging too so I am quite disappointed. 

Check out how it works on my brows below.

Bare brows

With the EyeStudio Crayon Brow in Brown

The product made my brow hair so waxy and the brown shade was too light for my dark hair. My brows look so unnatural. :( The product settled on the hair... I guess my hair was too thick that it caught a lot of the product. :( On the bright side, it lasts the whole day!

I think this would work better to those with fine brow hair or thin brows. If you have thick brow hair, I suggest you try other products because you might end up having the same experience... 


What I LIKE:

- Affordable at P99.00 (I think this is a discounted price)
- Easy to carry
- Doesn't break easily
- Packaging
- Locally available
- Not too pigmented (good for people with heavy hands)
- Easy to use
- Long-wearing

What I DON'T LIKE:

- Comes with only two shades (Grey and Brown)
- The brown shade is too light for my dark brows
- Hair becomes waxy when the product is applied on it


Would I repurchase? No. The product just can't handle my dark brows. LOL Maybelline has other brow products I can try and maybe there's one that suits my brows better. :)

And that's my short thoughts on the Maybelline EyeStudio Crayon Brow in Brown! If you have thoughts about my review or if you have used this product and want to share your experience, please do post your comment below. :)

Maybelline 24 hours Color Tattoo by Eye Studio in Barely Branded and Ready, Set, Green

Hey everyone!

Just want to share a quick swatch post of these two cream eye shadows from Maybelline. I believe most of you already know about the Maybelline Color Tattoo Eye shadows for they've been much talked about some months ago. These cream eye shadows are popular because of their intense colors and impressive lasting power. They have multiple uses—as eyeshadow, as an eye shadow base, and as an eyeliner.

Unfortunately for me, I have extremely oily lids so this still creases on its own. I usually use this cream shadow as eyeshadow base and top it with powder eyeshadow to strengthen its staying power.

Anyway, here are my two shades of Color Tattoo:

I think that this is the east asian version (probably Japanese) because the name is different, it's called Color Ink. But I believe it's the same as the 24HR Color Tattoos.

I bought this shade because I want something neutral that would look great on it's own and would also be great as a base and this shade is just perfect for those reasons.

In just one swipe, I can get a rich color. The shade is like a vanilla-champagne color that's just uber gorgeous!

Here are photos of my eye makeup using this:

My other Color Tattoo Eyeshadow was given to me by my friend.

I love the beautiful green shade, so perfect for the coming Christmas season!

Here's the swatch

And below is the product when put at the half part of my lids while the other half is barely branded but a little toned down.

And those are my swatches. :)

What do you think of the Maybelline 24 hours Color Tattoo by Eye Studio? Are you a fan of these cream eye shadows?

Cheers,
