My Cream/Gel Eyeshadows: Collection & Review

Hi lovelies :)

I've recently started to get into cream eyeshadows and build up a collection so thought I would show you guys which ones I have and share my thoughts on them!

L-R, Top to Bottom: Dior 'Glam and Glitz Black', Estee Lauder 'Buttercream', Maybelline Color Tattoos in 'On and On Bronze' and 'Eternal Gold'.

L-R, Dior 'Glam and Glitz Black', Maybelline Color Tattoos 'On and On Bronze', 'Eternal Gold', Estee Lauder 'Buttercream'

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Shadow Creme in Buttercream - £17.50 (here)

This shade is being discontinued, however there are other similar shades you can buy! I was lucky, I got this for half price in my local Pearsons (smallish department store) which I thought was a bargain however to buy this at full price is expensive and overpriced as the Maybelline Colour Tattoos are very similar in consistency and staying power the only difference is the shades available.

Buttercream is a shimmery peachy pink colour, which makes a lovely everyday colour to wear on its own or as a base for other neutral shadows which is what I usually do. The staying power is great, it doesn't crease or move around which makes it a great base for eye shadows!

Dior Eye Show Eyeshadow in 092 'Glam & Glitz Black' - Can't find online, may be discontinued.

Again, I was lucky to get this as my Aunt was clearing out her makeup and nearly threw this as she doesn't use it any more so I snapped it up! As you can see a fair bit of this has been used, however I would only ever use this on nights out when I want dramatic dark makeup so it doesn't matter that it's not full of product.

As the name suggests, Glam & Glitz Black is a black/dark grey shade with silver glitter in. I haven't worn this on my eyes yet but the swatches are gorgeous and fairly opaque and take a bit of time to remove so I'd say staying power will be good. I can't wait to use this and see how it looks on the eyes and how it performs on it's own and as a base for other dark shadows (probably just a glittery black on top to intensify!).

Maybelline 24Hr Colour Tattoo in 'On and On Bronze' - £4.99 (here)

Yay for drugstore makeup! This is a great neutral bronze shade to use as a base and on it's own, it has great pigmentation and staying power and doesn't crease throughout the day! Amazing quality for the price, especially compared to the Estee Lauder one which performs almost exactly the same! The only thing I criticise about these is the lack of shades available in the UK compared to the US :(

Maybelline 24Hr Colour Tattoo in 'Eternal Gold' - £4.99 (here)

This is a lovely glittery gold shade which looks as pretty on it's own as it does as a base for other neutral shadows! Again, great pigmentation and staying power. I'm not going to go into much detail with this as I'll just end up repeating myself :)

Thanks for reading - do you own any cream/gel eyeshadows? Which are your favourite?

Bought with my own money except the Dior eyeshadow which was given to me by a family member.

MUA Undressed Palette

L-R; MUA Heaven & Earth, MUA Undressed

Hiya!

I'm so excited, I wanted this palette for so long and finally bought it a week or so ago to use on my holiday with my family. 

I know this palette, along with MUA's other renowned palette Heaven and Earth, have been heavily blogged about but as a £4 dupe for the Urban Decay Naked palette I see why! Undressed consists of 12 mainly cool toned neutral shades, with 3 matte shades and the others containing shimmer (some more so than others). 

Having used this for a week already I can say that it is a fantastic quality neutral eye shadow palette for the price and I have already fallen in love with it as both natural and dramatic looks can be created unlike the Heaven & Earth palette in which dramatic night time looks can be difficult to achieve due to the lack in dark shades. 

Just so you guys know, this is just an introduction post, when I get back and settled from my holiday I will be posting a comparison between Undressed and Heaven & Earth so be on the lookout for that!

If you haven't bought this palette yet you need to! It's cheap, great quality and excellent to use while travellinng - you can't go wrong! You can buy this palette from larger Superdrug stores, or online (Suoerdrug and MUA both have online stores!)

Thanks for reading!

Beauty Wishlist

Thought I'd show you what beauty items I've been eyeing up recently, pay day couldn't come sooner!

MAC Lipsticks in Costa Chic and Creme Cup - £14 each (source) 

Ever since buying my first MAC lipstick, I have been eyeing up these two shades to add to my collection... not that I already have enough pink lipsticks!

MUA Professional Eye Shadow Palette in 'Undressed'  - £4 (source)

As I love my Heaven & Earth Palette and this is meant to be a dupe for the Urban Decay Naked Palette, at only £4, how could anyone go wrong?!

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream for Oily Skin - £9.99 (source)

As this baby is currently on offer in Superdrug for £7.49 I may have to pick this up and give it a go for Summer (if it ever arrives!).

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains - £7.99 (here)

After the success of the Lip Butters, and reading reviews from US bloggers about these, I can't wait to give them a go now they're out in the UK! There is an introductory offer in Boots as well which means I only have to fork out £5.99 to try one out!

Thanks for reading!
