Maybelline Color Tattoo Cream eyeshadows swatches

These are the ones I bought in my haul post and wanted to make a quick post with swatches & a short review.
They have been out for a while but have recently came into Australia, where you can get pretty much anywhere that sells Maybelline for $11.95 which is a very reasonable price. I got it in the colours Tenacious Teal, Painted Purple & Pomegranate punk.


 All are stunning colours but dry rather fast so you have to blend quickly. They don't budge unless you wipe with makeup remover. The only problem I have, and is what somebody actually asked me in my haul post, but I found the purple is a bit hard to work with and can turn out patchy so you have to apply a little bit more of that than others. You can see it on my finger a bit.

One problem when I went to buy Pomegranate Punk is that this colour was behind the right tester (which was empty so I couldn't see the colour), however it has the name Audacious Asphalt on it. I've googled swatches and AA comes up with this colour, but also with a slate-y colour which is what I thought AA would be. So either they have gotten the names mixed up or they have changed the names over here. However, all the other names are the same so I guess they made a mix up. Oh well, I wanted pomegranate punk anyway but when I saw the name I was like dammnn, oh well. But it's all good now!
(TL; DR: They got Pomegranate Punk mixed up with Audacious Asphalt on the packaging, and PP was the one I wanted anyway.)

Question: What is the point of changing shade names anyway (I saw a blog that in the UK they were different)? For confusion!? haha.

Thanks for reading! Every time I've used these so far I've loved them.

  2. I really want pomegranate punk, but it's always sold out in my local stores! I have all the colours except for this one! Great review, I totally agree about the purple one needing more product when applying it on the eyelid.

  3. I always think it's weird how companies have different names for the same products as well, the ones I bought in the UK of these had different names from the ones in North America and I was so confused lol. But omg the purple oneeee :O

  9. i think i'm only missing three out of the collection. will have to hunt for them when i have time. I agree the purple one is hard to work with and the texture is different to the others.

    All time favourite would have to be bad to the bronze. it's now my lazy makeup. something i just put onto my lids for a wash of colour :p Save me time in the morning!

    1. oh wow.. do you have the emerald green one? I def. want that one next. Did you have any problem with the naming of pomegranate punk like I did?

      Yess bad to the bronze is another one my to-get wish lol, Looks like it'd be perfect for a wash of colour.
