Reader @valentinekissesbeauty on Instagram shared this pic the other day--she found ALL EIGHT shades at her Big Lots, as well as some of the Sephora by OPI polishes I told you about the other day ($1.80 each).
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
There are eight shades in the Maybelline Spring 2013 Limited Edition Color Tattoo Collection:
Lavish Lavender
Icy Mint
Waves of White
Shady Shores
Cool Frost
Seashore Frost
Blue Paradise
Precious Pearl
For my review and swatches of Lavish Lavender, Icy Mint, Waves of White, Shady Shores, Cool Frost and Seashore Frost, CLICK HERE.
To refresh your memory, these are sheer duochromes that look really pretty on their own, but even more beautiful when swatched over a matte black powder eyeshadow. From my original review:
Six of the Spring 2013 Limited Edition Color Tattoos
LEFT: Swatched on bare skin
RIGHT: Swatched over matte black powder eyeshadow
Again, for my full review of these six shades and to see what these look like on my eyes, click here.
To see swatches of the other two shades in this collection, Blue Paradise and Precious Pearl, and a comparison of PRECIOUS PEARL TO BARELY BRANDED, click here.
I never did find Precious Pearl back when these first came out, so I'm thrilled to have another chance at it!
Thanks so much, Faith, Jessica, and @valentinekissesbeauty, for the great sighting and pics. I really appreciate it!
Thanks G!

OH YEAH!! if I find seashore frost, I'm going to stock up! It's my favourite of this collection (perfect for all-over-the-lid colour) and I only have one! I use it all the time, and I don't want to risk running out! Thanks for the heads-up!
ReplyDeleteUgh! In one way this makes me sick to think that I paid full price for every shade in this collection! And now they're showing up at Big Lots for a dollar?!? I guess I need to start practicing some restraint and patience with buying makeup. (Oh sure, who am I kidding?).
ReplyDeletewell this makes me even more bummed that the canadian big lots (liquidation world) is going to be going out of business by spring. i've found a lot of treasures there :c
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of these from earlier this year and would love to get the others!
ReplyDelete::faints:: I've been after seashore frosts forever and ever snd have even pondered buying it on amazon for a ridiculous price! I love you G!! And thx for sharing the love @valentinekissesbeauty
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for a Big Lots haul!!! I plan to go on the 16th but knowing my local store I will get shut out. Oh well hope springs eternal!!!! LOL!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWas at my Big Lots today and saw all 8 for $1! Also at the same Big Lots score 4 of the Maybelline Color Whispers in I crave coral, nude shimmer, ravishing pink and sienna sands. Those were all $1.50/each. They also had tons of the Maybelline LE polishes from the spring collection (I think) for $1/each, the LE Colorsensational High Shine Glosses from summer for $1.50 each and tons of products from the Fit Me line for $2/each, Colorshow nail stickers also for $1!!
ReplyDeleteJust got back from my Big Lots. They had all eight shades for $1 AND several shades of maybelline Color Whispers for $1.50/ea, Fit Me products (lots) for $2/each, LE summer polish collection for $1/bottle and many of the LE summer colorsensational gloss shades for $1.50/each. The lady at my Big Lots said all those just went out today in my area so check your big lots! :)
ReplyDeletei bought several of these after reading G's rave review earlier this year, but i found them pretty unwearable for my features so i had to return them all. i'm very fair with strong yellow undertones (asian) and cool-toned dark hair.
ReplyDeleteI hit the south side Oklahoma City store and got the last 4 they had. They were Shady Shores, Icy Mint, Waves of White AND Precious Pearl! *does happy dance* I think they will make awesome bases.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find either these or full-size Sephora polishes at the La Mesa big lots yesterday. Maybe somewhere else in San Diego? I did get the Sephora Tinseltown set for $12 which made up for it though :D

Has anyone spotted these in any of the New York area stores?? Please help, I'm on the hunt for these and can't seem to find them yet. Thanks...
ReplyDeleteI checked my big lots and they didn't have it!!!! I'm so bummed because my waves of white shore dried out (I didn't close it tight enough). I was hoping mine would have it but they don't so they fail >=|
ReplyDeleteThese FINALLY made it to my Lacey, WA Big Lots!~ I got all of them except the Precious Pearl which I'm definitely on the lookout for. Although, one is called " 35 Cool Crush"?
