Wet n Wild's I Love Matte palette review & FOTD

Wet n Wild came out with a palette during the holidays called I <3 Matte. I picked this palette up solely in hope that the purple in it would be decent. I could almost see the disappointment but in search of the perfect purple, I just had to try. This is the first of the new 8 style palettes that I picked up. The 8 pan palettes sell for $4.99, which makes them a pretty great value. However, half of the I <3 Matte palette is basic brown matte shades that I have from a previous Wet n Wild palette. I would have liked to see more brights instead.

My anticipation of disappointment was correct. Upon swatching I found all the colors to be creamy and pigmented except for the purple! The color I purchased it for :( It went on patchy and chalky. Trying to use it on the lid just did not work. Some of the colors I would almost call too creamy, they easily break in the pan if you aren't careful.

Because I've done so many FOTD's with neutrals I used the white, blue and green for this FOTD.

Products used:
UDPP
Wet N Wild I <3 Matte palette
MUFE Aqua Liner liquid in 8
L'oreal False Fiber Lashes

I was trying to write this last night but Blogger kind of went belly up. So here is a less detailed -because-I'm-tired-and-I-already-DID-this.

I can't think of anything better to pair obnoxious bright orange lipstick with than equally obnoxious lemon lime eyeshadow. All the eyeshadow is from my Manly 120 and the lipstick is MAC M'orange.

Inspired by my recent Sinful Mint Apple nails I decided to do mint and brown together, a combination I've never tried before. I thought they might have trouble coming together or get muddy in the crease but I actually really liked the results! Sorry for my haggard looks, this was while I was super sick :(

Need to get me some eyebrow wax, my brows stick up no matter what I try!

Products used:

UDPP in Eden

Manly 120 palette (all shadow!)

L'oreal Telescopic liquid liner

Maybelline Great Lash BIG

Tarte Clean Slate primer

Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse

MAC Peaches blush

Manly 120 Green FOTD + Bonus Whining!

I'm behind on posting pretty bad, I know. I'm still adjusting my schedule to getting back to work. While I'm glad to finally have the income it is a dramatic difference between my free time, energy and how I divide my time. I'm very thankful to have found work finally, but I admit I feel overwhelmed at the moment. Maybe when I have a paycheck in hand I will feel different but...

Of course, day 5 of working my new job and I end up sick. Great. This is at least the 4th time since FEBRUARY I have been sick. So I spent my 2 days off in bed hoping to be better in time to go back to work. Of course, that doesn't seem to be happening as I'm only now developing a fever. Really looking forward to working sick tomorrow, really can't wait.

I remember why I absolutely hate retail (which has nothing to do with customers actually) and it has only been a week since I started. First off, when I interviewed for this position I expected it to be part time (20-30 hours). Not a big deal, money is money. But when you realize how little those extra hours net you and think about what you could be doing with your family...friends...YOURSELF. Second, I don't get sick days until I'm there at least 6 months. If I call in sick it results in discipline. I find this to be bullshit- I feel like I'm not a person but expected to be a robot-work-machine. And this is helpful to no one- working when sick just gets others sick and slows the healing process.

And my feet- holllly hell my feet. I need good work shoes, but they cost a lot of money. Money I won't have for at least another month. My feet *kill* me so bad I avoid walking once I'm home. I sometimes can't sleep they throb so bad. I've tried the inserts and all that junk- doesn't help. And of course, like so many others, I don't have insurance to go have my feet checked or assist in cost of shoes. I'm allowed to lean, stand on one foot, pull a Captain Morgan- pretty much everything but sit. You're going to tell me that leaning like a slob over the counter looks better than a stool? And I'm not suggesting the need to sit on my ass 24/7 but it's simply not healthy for your back, legs, feet, etc to stand 8, 10, 12 hours a day.

There is a whole bunch I would love to rant about but I'm not going to. I know I sound like a whiner but I don't care. Life is about more than money. All in all the place I am working is VERY good compared to others I have, I like the people I am working with and the customers are great. But I'm sure anyone who has ever worked retail knows what I'm saying...

And on top of alllll of that, my last wisdom tooth has decided now is a good time to come in (it's been halfway for about a year) and has been totally irritating my mouth. If you notice swelling of my face (I know you can see it sometimes) that is why.

Now that I've ranted way more than I expected too...I have no idea what I used in this fotd! I only know I used my Manly 120 palette and MAC Peaches blush.
