CHLOE REVIEWS: MAC PAINT POT IN PAINTERLY

*

Hey guys!

It's been ages since I've done a review so I thought instead of bombarding you all with 'Wish Away Monday' posts, I'd chuck in a review. I know that post people have this product, but for any of you that are wondering if it's worth the money, then this is the post for you!

What the website says - 'M·A·C Paint Pot. A highly pigmented eye colour that goes on creamy but dries to an intense, vibrant finish. The next generation of a popular M·A·C formula, Paint Pots maintains all the intense traits of its inspiration. Long-wearing, colourfast. Creates seamless coverage without weight or caking. Blends smoothly over the lids. Cream-based, can be mixed with M·A·C shadows and liners. Available in matte and pearl formulas.'

Texture and Pigmentation - The texture is smooth but also drys quite quick. You have to work with this product pretty fast if you are planning on blending it. As this is a nude colour, there isn't much to go on pigmentation as it is just a smudge darker than my skin tone. It works fantastic as a base and a primer. As I have very oily eyelids, I use Urban Decay Primer Potion first and then this and keeps my eye makeup still.

Scent - I think this product doesn't really smell of anything, but if you smell it for a long time (I don't know why you would, but I just did) it smells a little like face paint, but only a little. This scent doesn't smell once you've put it on your eyes.

Packaging and Price - If I'm honest, I think that most people do like MAC's basic packaging. It's sleek, sturdy and elegant, what more could you want? You get 5g of product, which I think is pretty good for the price tag, but I do think that you are paying for the packaging than the product. The price on the MAC UK website is £14.50 but on the  House Of Fraser website it's £13.50! Even though you're only saying a pound, it's better than a poke in the eye! Also, it says that there is only 12 left, so go grab yourself one a pound cheaper!

Hope you've enjoyed this review! Have you tried any paint pots? Let me know what you think below!

CHLOE REVIEWS: MAYBELLINE COLOR TATTOO 24HR IN PERMANENT TAUPE

Hey guys, so it's been a while since I've done a review simply because I had to wait to get some products. Over the past 2/3 weeks I've been trying this out and here is what I think of it..


What the website says - 'Dare to wear NEW Color Tattoo 24HR Cream Gel eyeshadow. With up to 24HR staying power. Popping colour that glides on. Get inked!'

Texture and Pigmentation - Other bloggers have compared the texture of the Color Tattoo's to MAC's Paint Pot and I can see where they are coming from. The only thing I would say is different about it is that the Paint Pots are slightly more drying than the Color Tattoo's. The pigmentation is amazing and so is the stay in power. I've been using this in my crease and haven't experienced any creasing or any of that bad stuff and I have very oily lids. That being said, I use Urban Decay Primer Potion under everything.

Scent - The scent of this reminds me of the smell of foundation. There's no smell of perfume or anything so it's good for all of you with very sensitive eyes.

Packaging and Price - The packaging is very similar to Paint Pots too. The lid is glossy and plastic and the pot it'self is glass and very durable. The price is £4.99 which I think is amazing! You can pick this bargin pot from Boots.

I hope you've enjoy this long awaited review, have you tried any of these out?

BLOGUARY - CHLOE REVIEWS:- RIMMEL COLOUR MOUSSE 24HR - DAY 17!

Hey guys, welcome to Bloguary day 17! I've had this for a few years (sounds gross, I know) but never got much use out of it up until about 3 months ago. I really want more shades now!

What the website says:- 

' - Contains 5ml.

 - Give your eyes the perfect look and stand out from the crowd.

 - Comes in 4 different shades.

 - Mousse eyeshadow.'

I think that there are a few more than 4 shades now though! Sometimes I see this in shops, but it isn't on the Rimmel website.. #confusing!

Texture and Pigmentation:- This mousse eye shadow is creamy but dries quickly, so you have to work fast with it. I used this as a base before I applied my eye shadows. If you have oily lids like me, use a primer underneath. If not, then your good to go. You can also use this on it's own and even make it look like you've got more than just this on! All you have to do is apply it all over the lid, and then in the crease apply a bit more, making your eye looked defined. The pigmentation is great and long lasting.

Scent:- I think this smells a little like liquid liner, I have no idea why though. The product doesn't smell once applied to the lid.

Packaging and Price:- The packaging reminds me a little of M.A.C paint pots, but clearly a drugstore version. Once you open the lid, there's another little lid inside which stops the product from drying. Like I said you can get this in some shops but I don't know the price. I have also found them on Amazon and eBay.

Thank you for reading day 17 of Bloguary, have you tried this product?
