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!

Quick and dirty review of Wet N' Wild Color Icon in Vanity

Price: Cheap $4.99 normally I think but you can def catch on sale or use a coupon to get it for even less.

Amount: Resonable size. Not sure how deep the pan is yet but the surface size is big enough to get your brush in there. I'd say nickel size?

Color: Payoff is great! Lovely shade and intense pigmentation.

Finish: 3 Matte, 3 Shimmer

Texture: Amazing! Soft but not chalky and no fall out. Easy to pick up lots of shadow and blends so smoothly.

Packaging: Nothing special but sturdy, and slim. Brush: Sponge and brush. Obviously not the greatest (included brushes never are) but they work in a pinch.

Other: Amazing! Nothing not to love about this. Great quality and price and nice combo. I think the reviewers complaining about them are crazy. This is my new daily neutral eye and it's effortless!

FOTD with new Wet N' Wild Products

After reading all the hype I finally broken in a ran out to get a Wet N' Wild Color Icon palette. I wanted Lust but they were out, Greed didn't appeal to me, and Pride looked nice but I'd ify with blues, so I settled on Vanity. I'm always safe with neutrals. While I was there I picked up one of their new blushes and a L'Oreal HIP lipgloss that was 75% off. Reviews coming in the next few days. Here's my simple look using the Vanity Palette, Heather Slik Blush, and HIP duo lipgloss in Ritzy.

 

NOTD: Sally Hansen Flirt and Hidden Treasure

2 coats of Sally Hansen Lacquer Shine in Flirt that I picked up on sale today. I don't even know how to describe it. It's a crazy awesome hot purple /fuchsia iridescent fine shimmer/holo? On top 2 coats of Sally Hasen Hidden Treasure flakies everyone is lovin. My nails on fire today :P

With flash captures the purple-ness of Flirt.

Without flash better captures how it looks in real life and the wonderful flakies on top.

Drugstore Haul

CVS sale and Walgreens with coupons :D

3 Wet N Wild polishes (for .50 each!)
Sally Hansen Lacquer Shine in Flirt ($1 from the clearance bin.. I think it's being discontinued? Which is too bad cause it's amazing!)
L'Oreal HIP lipgloss duo in Ritzy (I'd NEVR pay the retail price of like $11 but it was 75% plus I had a coupon. For under $2 it's not bad at all.)
L'Oreal HIP pigment in Progressive ( Ditto)
Wet N' Wild Color Icon Palette in Vanity (Lovin!)
Wet N' Wild Color Icon Blush in Heather Slik (Lovin!)
NYC Brow Set in Brunette (Normally use ELF Studio brow set but I have it in dark and it's a bit too dark I think...)
Studio Brow Razors (mostly tweeze but I have a tiny bit of fuzzy on the top of my brows that are too fine to pluck)

NOTD: Sinful 24/7 and Wet N' Wild black Creme

Picked up 2 new polishes on sale the other day at Walgreens. OMG I'm loving this. I did 2 coat of Sinful 24/7. 24/7 is a great HOT pink that was calling out to me for summer. Goes on nice and some but just a tad streaky with 1 coat, 2 coats looked great. It has an interesting finish that not quite matte, but not full gloss either. After it dried I used to tape to cover the bottom triangle of my nail and did 1 coat of Wet N Wild Black Creme on top. It's a great opaque high gloss black. The combo of colors and mixture of finishes is making this mani FIERCE. I will def be doing again.

Without flash (pink is more true here)

With flash (can you see how high gloss that black is!)

FOTD with Pure Luxe Pigments

Simple FOTD. Use my Pure Luxe pigments in Sunny Side Up, Saffron, Misfit, and Forest. Lips are NCY Lilac Dream. Ignore the shine. This was at the end of a loooonnng hot day and we dont' have AC. Normally I would blot or add a little powder but I was getting ready to wash it off so decided not to bother.
