Subtle St. Patrick's Day Makeup

I've been in such a neutral rut with makeup lately and since St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner, why not paint my face green! Well, a small portion that is. This is something easy to wear without looking tacky especially if you plan on wearing a lot of green clothing. I didn't want to make it complicated so I just used some colors from my Shady Lady Palettes. I threw this look on real quick because I have a cold so please excuse the lack of pictures and sloppiness! Hope you like it!

Maybelline Color Tattoo: Tough As Taupe



Last weekend I picked up one of the new cream shadows from Maybellines new color tattoo line. I would have loved to get more but this year I'm trying to be practical with my beauty purchases. I don't want to get something on impulse just cause the color is pretty or bright. I decided on Tough as Taupe since its a neutral shade and something I now I'd put to good use.

Tough as Taupe is a true taupe and what's unique is that it's a matte formula. I've never seen a matte taupe cream shadow before. The packaging and formula remind me of MAC paint pots. Although when I dipped my finger in it, it seemed just a bit more firm but blended out just like a paint pots. I haven't tried this on my eyes yet but this didn't budge at all on my hand. Although I'm sure the turn out will be different since I have oily lids.

Here it is compared to L'oreal hip liner, MAC paint pot and Make Up Forever aqua cream

Next to my drying painterly paint pot =(


I can't wait to use this especially with my Naked 2 palette. I'm thinking of maybe getting Audacious Asphalt and Bad to the Bronze. Did you haul any of the Color Tattoo eye shadows?
