Boe Eye Box Glam ROAR | elliewoods

Whilst out shopping the other day, I came across this Boe beauty eye box which had been marked down from $5 to $3 so of course I thought after having a look at the colour range, why not! The colour range seem like they would make lovely eye looks ranging from natural to dramatic even darish looks.

Of course knowing that in the past I have not been much of a fan for some particular Boe products and that Boe is quite a cheap brand for most of their products only $2 . I had no grand expectations for this eye shadow palette.

However once applying it to my lids I discovered that they are quite lovely colours.

The downside to this palette would be that those nude to lighter shades are hardly visable (as you can see from the photos) However those darker shades especially Copper are so highly pigmented that you only need a smidge in order to get the perfect colour for your lids.

(Left to Right: Pyramid, Princess, Galaxy, Spear, Moss, Copper, Treasure,Highbrow, Dusted, Frost)

I do wish that the lighter shades such as pyramid were just that much more pigmented as I believe if it was then it would be a truly beautiful colour on the lids.

All in All I did highly enjoy this palette, its just those lighter shades that let me down in this palette.

Maybelline 24HR Color Tattoo Eyeshadow

WOWWEEE it has been a fair while since I have been on here! 

I deeply deeply deeply apologise that I haven't been on here blogging away, but I have been quite swept away with a new semester at University and have hardly had anytime to even breath!

Now whilst I have been away however I haven't forgot in the slightest to keep trying out new products to bring to you guys who are all wondering if a product is worth the hype and the dosh.

The first thing that I have tried out and have definitely been loving is the Maybelline Color Tattoo eyeshadows! now I have only tried out two of these colors, yet I absolutely love them!

The retail price for these eyeshadows is around $12 - $15 here in Australia depending on which store you visit (some can even retail up to $17!) However I was lucky enough to pick these up for both $4 as the Bold Gold was for sale for that price and  if you can't tell by the picture above the Audacious Asphalt was in the wrong packaging so I was also able to do a sneaky and purchase this for the same price!

I find that these are really long lasting and have the most beautiful colour pay off I have ever seen from a drugstore brand and I would highly recommend these to anyone who is in the market for a new cream eyeshadow.

Maybelline has picked a great variety of colours to choose from so there is no real problem at all finding the perfect colour for you. Whilst I am happy with these little eyeshadows the only downside to them would be that I find that you really have to work the Audacious Asphalt one in with a brush or your finger otherwise it can come out a little to dark for my liking.

I have loved these two little beauties so much I think I may just have to go out and buy the tough as taupe one!

Hopefully now I can get back into the swing of things and continue to blog..On a regular occurrence :P
