Quick and dirty review of Wet N' Wild Blush in Heather Silk

I love this. WnW has really stepped up their game recently!

Price: Cheap $2.99 normally I think but you can def catch on sale or use a coupon to get it for even less.

Amount: Plenty. Nice size. Not sure how deep the pan is yet but the surface size is big enough to get your brush in there.

Color: Payoff is great! Lovely shade and intense pigmentation. I actually have to adjust my technique a little use a littler hand with this stuff.

Finish: Matte

Packaging: Nothing special but sturdy, and slim.

Brush: Obviously not the greatest (included brushes never are) but as far as cheapo brushes go it's not that bad. A few shed hairs and a little stiff/stracthy, but ok size and is angled which I like. Normally I apply with my BE tapered blush brush but in a pinch the included brush works decently as well.

Other: Can be a little dusty or have fall out in the pan, but on the face there's no problem so you just have to gently dab your brush in the pan and then tap off excess and blow any residue off pan to keep clean.

Overall: For $2 this is amazing. Not quite MAC but a lot better Cover Girl and other drugstore brands which sell for more. This color is particularly wonderful on me and is one of those shades you can dust on lightly for the day and layer on a little more for an intense and dramatic night look. I think this will quickly become my HG!

MAC Too Fabulous Look Recreation

I've been drooling over MAC's Too Fabulous collection for some time (in particular the Duo blushes). Anyways I was playing around today with nothing in particular in mind at first and then halfway through I decided to try MAC's Too Fabulous look.

MAC's Too Fabulous

Here's my recreation of it in about 10 minutes. Unfortunately my camera is whacked at the moment so I had to use my web cam which is really poor quality, sorry :(. And obviously I didn't have anyone to nuzzle up against me sadly.


Here's MAC's and mine side by side. Not too bad considering it didn't plan it out and did it pretty quick. I lucked out and look a little like the model (expect for the nose!). Sadly I used no MAC products for this! Lol. Also I nevvvvvveeeer use false lashes, so that was interesting too.
