Wet n Wild's I Love Matte palette review & FOTD
9:13 PM |

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.

Kinda classic FOTN
I love dressing up. If I can find any excuse to put on my fake eyelashes I'll take it. This time I might have gone a little overboard. I tried to put some individual (the clumps of a few lashes) on my bottom lashes. This worked on one eye but on the other it seems the lashes I used were extra dense or something, which I didn't realize until afterwards (though before I left the house thankfully ;)) so please ignore that! So frustrating when you don't notice something major until it's too late -_-
Anyyyyways...I decided to get my tripod and remote out for once so I snapped a few more photos than usual. My shirt is a little um...busty. I'm sorry about that and I debated about even posting these photos but you know what? My blog, my boobs lol. They aren't anything I can change, I know I'm not alone

Wet n Wild Vanity palette

I've been told to smile more lol
I've been working on my eyebrows, I think they are improved. Do you?Thursday, March 10, 2011
Wet N Wild H20 Proof liquid liner review
As I have less than a week left before I leave for Puerto Rico I decided I may want to look for a backup waterproof liner as I intend to spend as much time as possible at the beach. The one I use is from L'oreal and while I'm happy with it, I couldn't find it at Rite Aid! I have heard a lot of good things about Wet N Wild's H20 Proof liners but have never tried them myself. Since I like their other liquid liners I figured I would give it a try.The first thing I noticed was that the applicator, which I would assume would be the same as their other liners, is not a typical felt tip or tiny brush but seems to be made of plastic. When I first tried it out it worked fine, but when I tried to create a wing I ran into some issues. Because the applicator is plastic the liner doesn't "sink into" it at all which means that it leaves gobs or liner in spots even after I try wiping off excess product. It did not make for easy application, let's just say my wing was not meant to be as big as it came out. I also had trouble making a fine point as the applicator is a little bit bulkier than normal.
To add to that, the color which I tried (Black Brown) went on kinda streaky. Once again I think this isn't helped by the plastic applicator which doesn't evenly distribute the product.
But the worst part in my opinion was that (even after waiting more than a minute) when I moved my eyelid the product did this:
And it was still entirely tacky to the touch. The one thing I cannot stand is slow drying eyeliner. As one of the final steps it can totally ruin all the work you have put into your eye makeup!
As for removal, I tried with just a makeup wipe and it was a pain in the butt so I would recommend an eye makeup remover that works well for waterproof makeup. It didn't "ball up" as some waterproof products do. I do find that the products that do "ball up" tend to wear worse (Maybelline waterproof eyeliner- I'm looking at you). I won't be testing the wear on this because I was really unhappy with the application so I probably won't be using this again. If I do then I will update later but I don't see it happening.

The top is right after it is dried, bottom is after a hard hand scrubbing and wiping dry.

Wet N Wild H20 Proof is available at most major drug stores for around $3 and is available in 4 shades (black brown, ultra black, smoky and espresso.
Would I recommend it? No

Wonder Woman? FOTD
Thrown together quick for bed shopping. It wasn't intentional but the combo of blue and red remind me of Wonder Woman, probably because of the MAC collection coming out. I'll be skipping this one, but if I do pick up anything it will be Bright Fuchsia pigment just because I've been wanting it. I personally think the packaging is pretty tacky and could have been done better, I'm also disappointed in the collection in general. When I first heard about it I was hoping for an excellent new POW! in your face red shade but nope, they just re-released Russian Red and upped the price (for "packaging" I guess). Anyways, here is my quick FOTD...
I'll update this later with products used...Apollo is being too cuddly to get up right now and I can't remember the names of anything D: But the eyeliner is Wet n Wild and the lipstick is one of the Milani lip flash pencils. I do remember the blush is MAC My Highland Honey.

Halloween ruffian nails and FOTD for Salem, MA
Hello lovies! I'm sorry I didn't post for a few days but I'm back :)
This weekend I went on a trip to Salem, MA with a couple of my girlfriends. We had a great time despite it being ridiculously busy and getting lost 90% of the time. I have other photos I will share with you in a separate post but here are my nails.
Here is what I wore for makeup. I kept it simple using Wet N Wilds Greed palette, L'Oreal Telescopic waterproof eyeliner (love the applicator- the tip is so tiny!) and L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes. On my lips I started off with MAC Morange lipstick but as the day went on and I couldn't be bothered to reapply (not to mention we were drinking and eating quite a bit) I switched to a clear gloss.
This weekend I went on a trip to Salem, MA with a couple of my girlfriends. We had a great time despite it being ridiculously busy and getting lost 90% of the time. I have other photos I will share with you in a separate post but here are my nails.I pretty much suck at doing konad or nail art on myself so after getting frustrated ruining my nails trying to Halloween them up I decided to do this.
I started with a layer of SH Evening Fog from the new complete line she has out. I was originally going to leave it as just that out of frustration but decided to layer Maybelline Orange Ole over it as a ruffian. And I didn't stop there, I added another layer of ruffian with Wet N Wild Black Fog over it which had a horrible wonky brush and screwed up several of my nails but oh well! Orange Ole also had a crappy brush- with a few much longer bristles. I'd rather deal with a cheapy not so good brush in general than one that has inconsistent lengths.
I then topped it all with Seche Vite for the night but before leaving I added SH Golden Ticket from the new complete collection over just the black for a little extra glam.
Candy mushrooms! But I prefer real ones, I love mushrooms :)

My hair is crazy right now! Not just the color but it needs cut really bad but I am desperate for it to grow out at the same time :/

Wet N Wild Coloricon palette swatches
If you haven't already seen these and you enjoy eyeshadow at all then you need these!
L-R: Vanity, Pride, Greed, LustReady for their closeups!
Vanity:
Pride:
Greed:
Lust:
These palettes are fantastic, the color payoff is great and they are very smooth and easy to blend unlike a lot of drug store eyeshadows. They also have singles and trios but for the price these palettes are the best. These sell for around $5 in most drugstores so run to the closest one and pick these up!

Wet n Wild Mega Last Lip Color
When I don't like a product I try to keep on the positive side and not be totally negative but sometimes there is just a product I can't think of a single nice thing to say about...
Okay, I should have seen this coming probably. This lipstick is horrible. I mean look at it. It's chunky, nubby, odd shaped and pretty flat. Now look below at the swatch of Stoplight Red to see what kind of application this gave me:
Yeah, not pretty! This lipstick is dry and hard to apply anyways but mix that in with the weird nubby shape and it gets even worse. Getting this around the corners of my lips was the impossible without making a mess and defining the cupid's bow was a joke. I consider myself pretty good at applying lipstick, I can even apply reds without looking in a mirror pretty damn well. But I have met my match, Mega Last...you evil SOB Mega Last.

Oh boy though, it does have that unpleasant dry feeling I associate with long-lasting lip color though.
Hmph, and I was just starting to trust you for things other than polish Wet N Wild...

Wet N Wild Fantasy Makers Glitter Eyeliners!
Woot, I love glitter! I was so excited when I saw these babies in Rite Aid. From left to right we have Magical- turquoise glitter, Mystical- amethyst shimmer, Cryptic- silver glitter and Secrecy- emerald glitter. I'm usually pretty happy with their liners so I scooped these babies up.
They are your typical tiny brushed liners, nothing special. The thing that bugs me the most is I had to slice into the label to open these. Either make it a little peeley label or one that breaks, especially if the only place that says the name is the label (I don't count the number on the bottom).

The picture below shows 2 coats on the left column, 1 coat on the right.
And here they are over black- instant glam!
And while I was there I spotted this too, who doesn't love holo glitter!
