Overcoming A Fear Of Cream Products

I don't know what it is about cream products but I've always been afraid of them. I'm not sure whether it's simply because I'm not used to them or whether it's something else entirely but I seem to avoid any make up product with the word cream written on it, no matter how good the reviews are.

So trying the Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 Hour range was something I hadn't planned to do until I was in Boots and saw just how pretty the colours were. The range is so goregous and as I've heard pretty much nothing but good things I knew that I had to take advantage of the 3 for 2 offer on at Boots.

I bought the colours 'On And On Bronze' and 'Metallic Pomegranate' and I think they are absolutely gorgeous! I'm definitely the sort of person who goes for more neutral shades so the bronze colour was my first choice, and I grabbed Metallic Pomegranate because it was just such a pretty purple shade which I think would be great for a more dramatic look.

Since purchasing I have tried both of these colours and the effect is stunning. Many people use them as an eye shadow base but I prefer to use them as an all over the lid colour. They were surprisingly easy to apply, I used my fingers to pat the eyeshadow in, and stayed on for a long time. I'm not sure they'd last 24 hours as the name suggests, but they did stay on my eyelids all day so that makes them a winner in my eyes!

Using these eyeshadows has really inspired me to try more cream products - I'll probably go for blush next. If anyone has any recommendations I'd love to hear them!
