Bad Blood

By Taylor 6 years ago.

*I bought this online at the Ulta website, and I'm not sure if mine was old, so keep that in mind. I've since destashed it, so I cannot check when it was manufactured.* This was absolutely terrible. It looked like a beautiful oxblood red color in the jar, but I couldn't for the life of me get any of it out of the jar! I thought this would be similar to the Maybelline Color Tattoo's, since they look so similar, but while the Color Tattoos are easy to apply with a finger or a dense brush, this just felt like wax mixed with petroleum jelly. I couldn't get anything onto my fingers no matter how much I rubbed the creme, aside from a waxy slightly pink sheen. It didn't feel dried out, based on my prior experience with Color Tattoos and ColourPop Super Shock Shadows drying out, so I have no idea if its supposed to be a sheer wash of color, but I would have had to layer on the whole jar to get it as dark as I thought it would be. Using a brush just dyed my bristles an ugly rust color, but none of the pigment ended up on my hand while I was trying to swatch. This was just a total failure of a product for me.
