Ink me up like blotting paper aka a review

Hey My mini margarita's!
I'm back!! Like officially back, going to try and blog at least every 2 days, hopefully everyday! 
But today~ I'm going to do a review on Orelia's body tattoo's!

(These images were taken from Orelia's official page, and are not my own.)

As you guys know, I am a university student, which means we tend to go out a lot! This week was the first week back so our university bar held all different kinds of parties for our January intakes of freshers. I wanted to stand out. Vain right haha! But these did the trick. 
Ease of use 
The body art was so simple to use, if you've never used fake tattoos before, there were simple ease to read instructions on the back. 
Simply cut the design you so chose out, peel off the plastic and place on skin and dab with a wet cloth for about a minute! How much more easier can it get? Fabulous! 10/10


Aesthetics 
These patterns typically come in gold, which some people aren't that fond of, as they say it doesn't go with my skin tone or my hair colour, or I find gold too flashy. Not here Hun, not here. These beautiful intricate designs are a subtle gold, a gentle touch, rather than a clump in the face. It matches all, and if you ask me it makes your face look much more alive and interesting! 
I like to put the smaller ones such as the tiny little hands on my forehead, I think this look is gorgeous for big parties and festivals! 
The only thing I would point out is that when you move it does crinkle up a bit, it stays on, it doesn't tear but you can see small crinkles! So 9/10
(Sorry for cropping you out Dan, but you have nothing to do with this post and you were pulling an ugly face...)
Sizes
These came in a range of sizes and patterns, for example in the picture above I was wearing a tiny gold and silver  hamsa hand,  but you could also get a huuuuuuge henna tattoo for your lower back! Lines of pretty patterns weaving amongst each other to make a cute vibrant choker that won't actually choke you! 
So there's a real diverse range so I'm going to give it a 9/10. Because there were not enough small ones, I would have like a whole pack of mini tats. Do that for me please Orelia, I beg of thee!
Durability.
These precious gold designs actually lasted the whole night. And it wasn't a pretty party. I got drink splashed all over my face, sweat from dancing in a overheated room and finally this happened:

Yep. That is lipstick all over everyone's faces, because we all look better as cute cats but at the same time... No one ever tells drunk people lipstick smudges. 
But the tattoo stayed in place! It went through all that crap and didn't smudge in the slightest! marvellous! When I got back to my room at 3am it only came off with a makeup wipe, which make me think, that is great, I'm going to try and wear this to the pool.. I'll let you know how that ends up :')
10/10
Cost 
The price of the pack I bought was £5 for 6 different tattoo's, so if you think about it, each tattoo cost around 83p each, I personally think that's great, I mean for the beauty of these designs and the unique colour and patterns i think that its a total bargain, however they can range to say £10 for 3. I suppose that's all a matter of personal opinion, as I know you can go up to Camden market and get them a hella a lot cheaper or even in places like Clair's accessories.
So trying to bear all this in mind, I will give the price a 7/10.

overall 45/50.
you can pick up one of these cute packs here on their site: http://www.orelia.co.uk/
or in your closest topshop.
