I have to say, I’ve been so excited about this post! It has been my favorite idea because all I used was easy to find drugstore makeup. From foundation to false lashes, the full tutorial is in the video below! I’ve also listed all the products below. I went with purple & blue, my favorite mermaid shades! This would work with an color combinations though, especially if they are well pigmented! I highly recommend the turquoise shade I used, it applied perfectly!

So right out of the gate let me tell you I adore these lipsticks. I really want to own them all, but my CVS basically refuses to restock the ones I don’t have. I want #12 like no one’s business but they have one damaged, mangled one left. BOO! But overall, this is definitely one of my favorite lines from the drugstore, especially for around $5.

Maybelline NEW Jewel Toned Color Tattoo Swatches & Review!

These shades are totally what I wanted for fall! Okay, seriously, I’d take these shades anytime. I love the in your face feel of these. I already know some people will immediately look at them & say “No freaking way” but wait! Remember, these are super long wearing…consider using them as eyeliner! I wear them that way often & they are perfect…& I am finding it hard to beat the staying power!I think if you love color, these are just as impressive as the fabulous neutrals from the other Maybelline Fall 2012 Limited Edition displays!

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bold Gold & The Body Needs Aspen Gold

So I wore this look a few days ago & really loved it. I knew I wanted to use Maybelline’s 24 Hour Color Tattoo as my base because it had been…one of THOSE days! Humid, blah, meh. So Bold Gold it was & my goodness is it a stunning gold or what? Normally I use these as a base & cover them up, but not this time! I was feeling the gold so I pulled out a crease shade. I love gold & green so it was natural I would reach for The Body Needs eyeshadow in Aspen Gold for my crease shade. A light dust of my Become Beauty Bronzer/Highlight duo on the highlight side (this contest is still open guys, remember to enter!) & I was thrilled.
