I own the eye shadows in the shades Icy Mint and Seashore Frosts. The eye shadows have nice packaging; which consists of heavy glass pottles which makes them feel extra fancy. Icy Mint is a gorgeous mint shimmer but isn't very pigmented and requires 3 coats to become a solid colour. Seashore Frosts is a stunning blue-green with a gold iridescent shimmer to it. It requires 2 coats to become a solid colour for me. These were the first creme eye shadows I tried and I am very impressed. The colours are stunning, they last for me all day without any fall-out, creasing or fadeage and I am certain they would last for 24 hours if I wanted to wear them for that long. They are tricky to get off with make-up remover but that just shows their staying powder. I love these as they are easier to apply than powder eye shadows and they last for much longer.

Tips: Apply with a dampened eye shadow brush rather than your finger to build up colour more quickly.
Maybellines one of my favourite brands. I can find it at almost every store that I go shopping at. I also like it when I find these lines at Bucket sales. I find that they're cheaper at these. I enjoy using eye shadows. I wanted to get myself at least one of these because I have heard how great they are.
These shadows come in these small glass jars. The colour I chose is Immortal Charcoal. It's an ashy grey colour. The texture of this shadow is creamy. It doesn't have any scent to it at all.
I used my shadow brush. I prefer to use a study bristled brush because this shadow is very creamy. It blended nicely across my eye lid. I didn't need lots to cover my eye either. You don't get fall out like your standard shadows. I didn't get to try this for 24 hours but it did last me all day.
I managed to get my shadow for five dollars from a bucket sale. It was really cheap. I actually regret not getting more. I always like to try one and then make a descision about buying more. These shadows are definitely worth buying. I wouldn't try using a sponge applicator with this shadow as its quite creamy. Overall its a great shadow to use and I will be purchasing more.
Tips: Check that the shadows aren't dried out before buying, if you notice cracks or discolouration it could be a sign that they have turned.
I love my colour tattoo eyeshadow and I really don't use them as much as I should!!
The eyeshadows are really pigmented and have great colour payoff on the eye. My favourite is 'barely branded'.the shimmer is really nice without being too overpowering. They also blend really well with powder eyeshadows.
They come in a nice glass pot which is study and quite big. There's a lot of product so it will last you a long time. I usually apply it with a small shadow brush or my fingers. Both seem to work and have good colour/shimmer payoff. The eyeshadows stay on my eye all day (I use an eyeshadow primer).
Good product! Would certainly recommend!
Tips: Use and eyeshadow primer to ensure it looks better on the eye and lasts all day.
I have one of the chocolate brown shades and I use it as a 'one and done' eyeshadow. I use my finger to apply it, the texture is creamy and I just pat it over my whole lid and blend the edges with a clean finger before it dries down. It doesn't take too long to dry and I found it doesn't crease on my hooded eyes until many hours later. In saying this, it doesn't stand out to me in my collection and I often end up using a Colourpop Super Shock or Stila liquid eyeshadow over this.
I loooooooooove the Maybelline Colour Tattoo cream eyeshadows! They come in so many beautiful colours, in both metallic/shimmery and matte finishes, so there's something for everyone. The price is great, and even better if you buy them somewhere like Chemist Warehouse! They last on the eyelids all day without creasing, and can be used on their own or as a base for powder eyeshadows. The small little tub lasts for ages as you don't need much because they are so creamy and pigmented. No complaints here! I will always repurchase these and recommend them to everyone!
Tips: Make sure you close the lid securely so they don't dry out.
Love this shadow for a quick and easy neutral every day look - They blend easily with both brushes and your fingers! I dont have much time for the bright colours, I bought the aqua one to try and It was just a bit crazy for me, wouldnt mind the purple one though.
Tips: The neutral colours are great for bases, powder shadows blend easily over top and it gives you a little bit of extra staying power!
I brought the aqua one of these for a ball I was going to. The only reason I chose this was for the colour, I wasn't looking for staying power. Its easy to apply, it blends on with fingers or brush (i used a brush) it does seem to stay put once you have it on so dont be going too wild with the brights or you will end up looking a little crazy. Works fine applied with a thin brush as an eyeliner. I prob wouldn't use it a lot just cause I don't like that it stays on so much, I feel a little strange about it. I've never had a problem with my eye shadows coming off before I was ready and i didnt really like the extra effort I went to get it off. But overall its a great product and does what it says (not that I left it on 24 hours)
Tips: Go easy and build up the colour gradually to avoid looking clownish with the bright colours.
I bought this cause of the huge rave on youtube, Gurus saying that it compared to benefit creaseless cream BUT better! and I totally agree! long lasting (even on my super oily lids) a must try!
These little pots really pack a punch - and the colour really does last. These are a fab base for all your powder shadows and keep your look fresh for hours without creasing. I find this better for this purpose than any actual shadow primer I have tried. My only gripe is the lack of good neutrals in this range - I am sticking with 'barely branded' for now even though it is very frosty and too shimmery for my liking, but is covered by my shadows so not really an issue. The only other option was 'tough as taupe' which I was using for a while but was too cool toned and grey on me. Pomegranate and bad to the bronze are also fab if you want to venture into something less neutral but they do have quite a bit of shimmer which you either love or hate. Maybelline are onto a winner with these - a real dupe for MAC paintpots but actually longer lasting and very affordable.
Wow, I was blown away with this little pot of colour. I love eye colours, whether it's mascara, eyeliner or shadow, so when I saw this in purple I had to try it. I was a bit dubious about a creamy textured eyeshadow staying put and not sinking into my eyelid creases. I wasn't sure about the best way to apply at first so I used my fingers (which I do for most eyeshadows). This worked, however, it was hard to get a decent amount onto my eyelids this way; was ok for a lighter colour. So I dug out an old eyeshadow sponge brush applicator which enabled me to layer the colour up a bit and create a really vivid purple. And it really does stay on for 24 hours; well even longer on one occasion. I was out quite late and had to be up early the next day so I went to bed with my makeup on (I know, smack on the hand), but the eyeshadow was still perfect the next day and the colour hadn't faded, it looked fresh. It feels great on too, not greasy or sticky and it doesn't sink into your eyelids. The pot is really handy too, easy to fit into a bag if you need to travel. The price is really reasonable; $13.99 and you don't need much so it will last a long time.
Tips: apply liquid eyelliner first (or kohl), and then use your sponge tip applicator (or eyeliner brush) to apply colour tattoo over the top, it looks amazing.
