Review: Maybelline Color Tattoo Cream Gels

With the drug-store beauty companies coming out with their new lines for Spring, there are a lot of gems to be found! My first obsession came with the Revlon Lip butters. They're basically a cross between a lipstick and a chapstick. They apply thick and are moisturizing like a chapstick, but many are just as pigmented as a lipstick! I think I'll be doing a review of my favorite colors on those, but another product has taken me by storm recently too -- the Maybelline Color Tattoo 24-Hr Cream Gels. That's a mouthful of a name, but essentially, these babies are dupes for MAC's famed paint pots and even for Benefit's creaseless cream shadows. I was so excited to try one of these, because both the pots from MAC and Benefit start around $19, and these suckers are about $7 or $8 depending on where you go.


I purchased shade 35 - Tough and Taupe, because it's a color unlike anything else that I own. But, since it's a neutral, I figured I'd get a lot of use out of it. The cream itself applies very smoothly and is AMAZINGLY pigmented. I love it when products work out like this, because it allows make-up loving girls like myself to still feed the addiction without breaking the bank!
