Maybelline Color Tattoo! (Long overdue)

Hey everyone!
I could have sworn that I did a post on this already but I don't see it in the listing.
A few months ago Maybelline came out with their 24hr cream shadow AKA Color Tattoo.
Most of you have probably already bought it or seen it on the shelves of stores, but here's a quick review.
 
They mimic MAC Paint Pots, however they definitely do not have the same consistency/feel.
MAC paint pots feel like silk when you pass your fingers over them. It's extremely smooth and dreamy. The Maybelline Color Tattoo consistency is not very smooth at all. It is smooth but has a sort of uneven, rough feel to them. It doesnt just slide under your fingers. I have to rub my finger in the pot to get the same amount I would get out of a MAC Paint Pot.
 
The colours they offer are quite nice though! They even came out with some Neutral and Fall colours recently. The pgimentation is really good despite the different consistency.

The staying power is great! It literally will NOT move until you take it off with makeup remover. No fading, no sliding...NADA. Wipes will not take it off.
 
You can use them as shadows, eyeshadow bases, eyeliner...you name it! Sort of a multi-tasker just like Paint Pots.
 
Here are the shades Bold Gold and Tenacious Teal:






Out of 5 I would give a 4.
Mostly because the consistency is not my favourite and the colour doesn't come out even so you would have to either rub your finger in the pot over and over or blend with your finger upon application.
