Face of Australia budgeproof eyeshadow

LIMITED EDITION? Well, in that case, I must have it! 

That's pretty much what I thought when I heard about the new FOA shadows. No doubt they're quite similar to the Maybelline Color Tattoo's, but I still wanted to try them out.

There is a nice range of colours and I was particularly drawn to the deep blue colour (3rd from the left), but I already have this colour in the Color Tattoo! The colours are quite similar and I think this range really would have benefited from something bright and unique. As for the amount, I can't seem to find anywhere on the tub how much product there is but I'd say its very similar. 

Tip Top Taupe

I finally settled on the taupe, because its a colour I don't have and generally wouldn't bother with. It's a lot sheerer than the Color Tattoo's I have, so it feels smoother and not as thick. Am I making sense?




This colour is pigmented and shimmery, and really easy to apply. Check out my FOTD post from a few days ago to see how it looks on the lids!

As for wear time, hmm...it didn't crease on me, without a primer, but I did notice it faded a bit, possibly because of the sheer formula. That aside, I think its a great cruelty-free option to the MNY Tattoos, not to mention a few dollars cheaper, so if the colours appeal to you, why not try them out? :)

Have you tried this before? What do you think?

FOTN

Hello lovelies! I wasn't going to do a FOTD post for this but I really liked the way the eyeshadow looked, so here it is.

This was just for a casual dinner the other night with an old friend...


Savvy by DB lipstick in Sugar Rose

Rimmel Match Perfection concealer
Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation



Yikes, looking a bit too shiny...

If you read my post on the Revlon Nearly Naked foundation, you'll know that I mentioned it has a dewey finish. I took these photos with flash, because it was nighttime (obviously) and you can see that I look a bit oily...well, in my opinion anyway. So maybe this foundation isn't the best for flash photography. Also, I'm actually not wearing the lipstick because I took these pics after I get home, whoopsies. 

I've included the second photo so you can see what the FOA eyeshadow looks like - it was the first time I used it and I absolutely love it! It's a gorgeous colour with a lot of shimmer and looked really classy. 

Have you tried any of the products I've included in my post? Let me know what you think :)
