New Maybelline Color Tattoo Cream Shadows

If you haven't seen, Maybelline has added a new, kind of off-shoot selection of Color Tattoos called Color Tattoo Metal.  Some of the colors looked really pretty, but the gold in that selection looked way too yellow.  I'm not into really yellow-y gold.  Anyway, I got the colors in "Barely Branded" and "Inked in Pink."  Both are absolutely gorgeous with pigmentation phenomenal and staying power impressive.

I'm not here to give you a full review of the whole new line or anything.  I really just wanted to give you a heads up because the color "Barely Branded" is similar to a limited edition color they did for fall called "Barely Beige."  You probably would guess that they would be similar because of the names.  That's what I thought, too.  So there I was, thinking it was going to be exactly the same thing with a different name... but it wasn't.  "Barely Beige" is a little bit pinker, while "Barely Branded" tends more to the gold side of things.  Still, if you put them on your eye lids, you wouldn't be able to see that much of a difference, if at all.  

So, this post is really for those of you that missed the limited edition fall collection of color tattoos, and for those of you who got those but are worried about what you're going to do when you run out of "Barely Beige." 

Later 'gator!

I thought you would probably want a picture of swatches to make your own decision of how close the colors actually are to one another.  So here you go!  I tried to get different angles to show different lightings.  The middle picture shows how similar they look when the light hits them, and the other two show how they are slightly different.  The rightmost picture shows how Barely Beige has more of a pink undertone.

Happy New Year everyone!
