Limited Edition: Maybelline NY Color Tattoo in 300 Gold Shimmer

Gold Shimmer is one of the 2012 Limited Edition Color Tattoo's. Being a huge fan of gold shadows, I had to try this out...

The name gold shimmer is misleading - this is more of an antique, brassy metallic brown - but I LOVE the colour so I had to share. Here is a comparison with Bold Gold, the permanent gold in the range.

You can see that they are both beautiful colours, but I think I will get more use out of Gold Shimmer because of the brown undertone, so it would be suitable for daytime wear and at night. The formula is amazing - creamy and smooth, similar in texture to Bad to the Bronze (which is probably one of the most popular shades in the range?).

There is another limited edition gold color tattoo from the 2013 collection (Gold Rush), but it looks waayy too yellow for my liking. What do you think?

Have you got any of the LE Color Tattoo's?

Maybelline Color Tattoo's: Bad to the Bronze and Painted Purple

At first, I wasn't really too interested in the Color Tattoo craze. But now I'm very glad I've jumped on the band wagon!

My first purchase was Bad to the Bronze, as it's a wearable colour that can be glammed up but still works as a fairly neutral look. I find it looks great with a black dress for a night out!

At a recent Priceline sale, I was hunting for Bold Gold but it was gone :( so I opted for Painted Purple, because it is a really gorgeous colour.

These are both beautiful colours! As you might be able to tell, I haven't used Painted Purple yet, except for this swatch! I found it was a bit patchy upon application and harder to blend. I researched this and it seems to be a common issue with this colour. That aside, I think it's still super pretty.

Bad to the Bronze has been used a lot since I bought it a few weeks ago, and the staying power is incredible.   I wore it to a festival (see my festival post) and it lasted 12+ hours on a hot day with lots of dancing. When I got home late that night, I was amazed to see that it had not smudged, creased or worn off at all. Winner!

I'm really glad I decided to join the crowd and purchase these. 
Do you have these colours?
