When I was five the best present you could get in a goodie bag was a temporary tattoo – bonus points to the birthday girl or boy if it had glitter on it. That fad died as we grew up and then suddenly came back with a vengeance on the swim team in college – we thought temporary tats were a great accessory at big meets. Does it make sense? No. Was it fun? Absolutely. Again like the childhood fad, that quickly lost its appeal and I have not thought about them in years.
Then I saw one of my favorite fashion bloggers and past style icons, Annabelle Fleur, wearing what she called a beauty mark over the weekend in this post and it re-sparked my interest I liked her gold feather but did not think too much of it but when she still had it on in yesterday’s post I knew I just had to have it!
Hers is a bit more glitzy then any of the ones I had ever used – the site describes them as “a collection of gold, silver, or black foil designs to adorn your face and body” and looking at all of the pretty designs I was shocked that they were only $12. True, it is a bit pricy for something temporary but with so many options these BeautyMarks – The New Makeup by Mr. Kate are just too awesome to pass up. I have not even bought them yet or seen them in person but seriously, how cool are these? (And no, this is not a sponsored post, I just thing they are awesome!)
As if I needed an extra push while on the site I saw a comment that Aimee Song had worn them so of course I had to go check find out when! It turns out she had two different gold tattoos on that infamous Reward Style trip to Cabo that only the best of the best bloggers got to go on. Aimee is another one of my style icons and who I actually met last summer and you can find the photos below in this post.
For $12 I just have to have them, the real question is, when do I wear one?

Amazing shots! Love the way how you wear these gold and silver tattoos – just superb! I am a street style photographer based in Dubai and I recently spotted a girl, who combined these temporary tattoos in a very unique way. Just wanted to share the pics with you and your readers: http://www.sandinthecity.net/gold-and-silver-fashion-tattoo/

Gorgeous! I wish there were a tutorial on how to make them yourself. Does anyone know a DIY recipe for the foil?
Thanks xx Caitlin
Carolyn says
These foils are so cute! I think they’d be nice for a trip to a festival or theme park – any where outside really where the light would catch, as long as it’s not a professional setting.
Thanks for the comment on my blog!! I hope you come back by =]

These have been popping up all over my instagram feed– I love them, in particular the gold. They’re the perfect summer accessory with a bronzed tan, super fun and more important, temporary 😉
