Maybelline Painted Purple Color Tattoo 24 Hour Eyeshadows

Maybelline Painted Purple Color Tattoo 24 Hour Eyeshadows ($6.99 for 0.14 oz.) is a violet purple with a subtly shimmered finish. It’s cooler-toned compared to MAC Violet. It’s warmer than MAC Parfait Amour. Inglot #379 is cooler-toned. Inglot #439 is more red-toned.

What product is visible after the initial application is still intact after twelve hours (which is how long I tested this particular shade).  There was no creasing or smudging, and it looked as faded as it did when I first applied it–that lack of pigmentation gives it this faded, washed out look.  The unevenness of the color makes for a patchy base, and the drier texture made blending and applying product on top more difficult. It still maintains the overall wear of the range, but it lacks in the pigmentation department.

The reason it’s so special to earn a separate post is actually because it’s significantly under-performing compared to the other nine shades in the range.  I didn’t want this one shade to drag down such a good product (long-time readers may remember that I prefer to review shades individually because of small differences that impact the overall rating).  It suffers primarily from poor color payoff; it’s sheer and applies unevenly as a result.  It has a drier, less creamy Coach Outlet, texture compared to the other shades as well (which likely contributes to the uneven application).

You can see the threads of gold shimmer running through the color as well as visible brush strokes. I used two coats, and there was a fair amount of visible nail line; a third coat would have softened it still, but I don’t think it would have eliminated it. The color didn’t apply as evenly as I would have liked; it seemed to sheer out as it was pulled, even with waiting between coats.

Dior Or Divin (221) Nail Lacquer ($22.00 for 0.33 fl. oz.) is the brand’s take on your traditional holiday gold, which is part of its recently launched holiday collection. It’s new but limited edition. Or Divin is a pale yellow gold with a part metallic, part shimmer finish. It’s a bit warmer compared to NARS Versailles but much paler and less orange compared to Chanel Gold Lame.

Dior’s formula wears a week on me with minor tip wear but no chipping. The brush is larger than the average brush, and it’s tapered at the top Coach Factory Outlet Online, which works if you have larger nail beds, but if you have really petite ones, you may find it difficult. I like it, and it makes it easy to avoid too many brush strokes and do one or two pulls per nail.

XRAY EYEBALLS WANT TO HAVE IT ALL

Coach Outlet Online

You can hear it firsthand on the band’s sophomore album, Splendor Squalor, whose title alone epitomizes these contrasts. “I don’t recall what book I was reading Coach Outlet Online, but it referred to New York as having a lot of splendor mixed in with the squalor. I just like the way those two words look together,” San Felipe says of the name, adding, “It perfectly describes us: grime meets glamour.” But while their sonic references—think The Jesus and the Mary Chain, The Velvet Underground, and The Cure—are of the darker variety, the band spent the past year cleaning up a bit. “On the first album I feel like we were still figuring out what we were doing. With this album, we took it more seriously but still wanted it to be loose and fun,” says Rabalais.
