Wet N Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Review and Swatches

Whenever I think of Wet N Wild, it automtically reminds me of high school!  I used to wear the brand all the time and the price was on point for my low budget.  Although, I must admit - I have not used WNW since then. I saw this gorgeous palette they had and for about $2.99 - I HAD to give it a try.




The colors are so pretty!  The texture was creamy and blended well.  I love the sheen on these too. The colors lasted all day with no smudging.  Each shade is imprinted on where you should apply - brow bone, crease, and eyelid.


I followed the imprinted shadows and did the brown in the crease, pink on eyelid, and the white on my brow.  I love it, but next time I would go a little darker in my crease.  This is a beautiful palette and highly recommend.  The colors and formula of the eyeshadow are high quality at a low price tag - what more could a girl want?  :)

Beauty on the Go - Spring/Summer 2011

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, travel size beauty products. I think its the cute, tiny packaging, and the ability to take it anywhere. No matter the reason, I jumped at the chance to pick up Sephora's Limited Edition Color Flip Palette!  These are perfect for spring/summer when on the go.


The cards are very similar to the old Trish McEvoy Beauty Emergency Card. About the same size, only a little thicker, because it has 3 levels. Dimensions are 2.75 in. x 1.75 in. x 0.5 in.


The first layer contains 8 beautiful eye shadows. Colors are shimmering white, bronze, aqua, bright purple, nude, plum, peacock, and matte brown. They are all very wearable, blend easily, and look great!






The second layer contains 8 lip glosses (cherry, hot pink, nude, peach, fuchsia, bubblegum pink, bronze, and clear) I usually don't use any of the lip glosses that come in any palette, but these are very sheer, and will look great for Spring.






The third layer contains a lovely brush and bronzer. The duo is similar to NARS Orgasm/Laguna, but a little lighter. So pretty. The bronzer is very golden, which I prefer for my olive skin. They are sheer, but can be layered for more color.




This is such a bargain at $15! It is perfect for busy women on the go (throw it in your pocket, gym bag, purse), or its great for those looking to get quality makeup, while on a budget. I think this set gives you the most for your money. It's sleek, portable, and a great deal! What more could a girl ask for?
