Review (Plus Swatches): Wet N Wild ColoriCon Trio "Walking On Eggshells"

Hey everyone! Finally a review from me! Since I am in my blogging mood right now, I decided to do a review today. Hopefully I get to finish it and am able to post it up today. This review is going to be on the Wet N Wild ColorIcon Eyeshadow Trio in "Walking On Eggshells". It is definitely a gorgeous neutral trio. If you don't mind eye shadows with shimmery and frosty finishes, then I am sure that you would like this trio. Wet N Wild definitely makes great eye shadows and this is one of my favorites. I don't have much of their eye shadows but I am sure that one day, I would be able to get my hands on all of them. Let me know if you have any favorites from Wet N Wild and which ones you would like to see a review on. For me, I think this brand is great for those who are on a budget, or a makeup hoarder, or just someone who loves good quality, pigmented shadows. If you don't have this trio yet for some reason, you might want to know that these eyeshadows are all a dupe to some MAC eye shadows.



This trio has great neutrals for everyday eye looks. It comes with three shadows-hence trio. ;) I love how each shadow is labeled for its purpose, which is great for beginners but of course, you can use them anyway you want. I would generally use either the top or bottom shade as an all over lid shade and the crease either in the crease or as an outer corner shade. If you would like to see any eye looks using this trio, please let me know. I haven't posted any eye looks in while. My phone camera has gone crappy on me, which sucks because it used to take beautiful pictures.

The first shade in the trio is a gorgeous shimmery and frosty champagne. It is great for the brow bone and as an all over the lid shade. I heard that this is MAC Naked Lunch. If you want to see swatches of both shadows next to each other, I am sure that you can find them on Google. The second shade is great for the crease because its a satin brown. Although on my eyelids, it comes off as a coppery-gold because of my yellow undertone. This shade, I heard is a dupe for MAC Cork. I only own two MAC eye shadows and I rarely ever touch them because my sister gave them to me and they aren't shades that I would normally go for. For a person who rarely wears eye makeup, I don't know why she would pick out a green and a reddish copper shade.

 

As you can see from the swatches (below and above), these Wet N Wild eye shadows don't mess around. They are pigmented to the touch. If you are someone either starting to love makeup or someone with a budget but still wants good quality eye shadows, I would definitely recommend Wet N Wild eye shadows. I actually prefer their trios and their 8 pan palettes. They used to have 6 pan palettes but those got discontinued, which was shocking because they were popular too. 



Like I said earlier, if you never tried these before, I highly suggest you go out and get yourself this trio and even try out their other eye shadow trios as well. To save you even more money, right now RiteAid is having BOGO FREE on all Wet N Wild cosmetics! The trios are probably around $1.99 to $2.99 each. I can't remember the exact price but with the sale, its even more inexpensive. I told myself not to buy anymore makeup until I sell some of the ones that I have but its hard not to want to buy more when stores have these rare makeup sale. Let me know if you guys end up going crazy for this sale and if you intend to buy anything. I would love to know! As always, thank you for reading!

Spotted: Maybelline New FaceStudio and ExpertWear Products

Hey everyone! I meant to get this post uploaded on New Years since I took these pictures on New Years Eve. Yes I actually went shopping the day before New Years. I didn't want to do it because I knew it was going to be crowded as heck but I had to do it because I had a $10ECB that was expiring on 12/31 and knowing me, I forgot about it and found out last minute. I was afraid if is went tomorrow and tried to use it, my store wouldn't let me because it was too high of a value. Man let me tell you, there were some crazy ass drivers out there. Some people either pretended that they forgot how to drive and park or they just didn't care. The parking lot was crowded as hell and it was so hard to find a decent parking spot because a lot of people were parking in two spots. I had to park at a takeout place and walk my butt to CVS because I didn't want anybody parking too close to me and closing me in like they did with a lot of other cars. Let me know if you guys were brave enough to go out at night on New Years Eve and if you dealt with any drama during it.

Anyways enough with my drama, onto the makeup! While I was at CVS trying to find stuff to spend my ECB on, I found a whole Maybelline display full of new makeup. I did want to buy some to try out but I hate how this CVS store always puts those ugly security stickers on all the makeup. They are so hard to take off whenever I buy them and want to take pictures. Plus they are just generally ugly in pictures and in person. I wish people didn't steal because both the CVS and Walgreens in my neighborhood cover all the makeup with these stickers and the stickers are so huge that sometimes the employees put them over the shades names or over the clear windows of the makeup making it hard to see the actual color. Let me know if your stores are like this too.

Anyways let's ignore the ugly security stickers on the side and talk about these blushes. LOL These are the Maybelline MasterGlaze Glisten Blush Sticks. These are meant to give you a sheer color on the cheeks. These sort of remind me of the NYC Blushable Creme Sticks because it's in a stick form. There are six new shades and I don't know if Maybelline is going to come out with new shades or if these are just limited edition products. I should have read the display more or taken a picture of the whole display in one picture but I was rushing to get out of the store because it was packed. The six shades are, from left to right: 10 Just Pinched Pink, 20 Pink Fever, 30 Coral Sheen, 40 Warm Nude, 50 Make A Mauve, and 60 Plums Up. I love how they have every shade that you can use year around. They have pinks for the spring or year around, corals and nudes for the summer, and purples for the winter.

Now onto the new powder blushes! If you have been following me for a while then you would know how much of a blush addict I am, especially when it comes to pink shades! I love light pinks to bright pinks. If its any shade of a pink blush, chances are I will fall in love with it! This line is the new FaceStudio MasterHi-Light blushes/ These claim to give you color and shimmer for a natural glow. These will definitely be great for the summer and spring. Plus I love the design on the actual blushes themselves. I don't know what that design is called but I guess I will either call it plaid or the weave design, if you guys know what I mean. Haha! Hopefully you guys do and I am not just crazy. There are six new shades in this collection and I got to say, I think the pinks would be the first ones I would love to try.

Now onto the eyeshadows! Maybelline already has these eyeshadow quads out but apparently decided to change the packaging again. Do you guy remember the other times when Maybelline changed the packaging on their ExpertWear eyeshadow quads? I remember they used to be blue and then black. Then they decided to change the size of the shadow pans and make them different sizes in the quads and now they change the packaging again to just a straight rectangle quad. I actually like this design of the quad way more because it looks more sleek and plus it makes it easy to stack upon one another whereas the old ones were a bit curvy on the sides and the top so they wouldn't lay flat on top of one another when stored away. I don't think these are new shades in the quads since some of the names are familiar like Amethyst Smokes and Chai Latte. Let me know if you like the packaging on these more.

Now onto the new single shadows! Again, Maybelline changed the packaging on these. I love the flat packaging on these as well. It makes them look more sleek compared to their old curvy ones. Let me know if you feel the same way as well. I don't know if Maybelline reformulated these shadows but if you know, please comment below. So far, the ones that I have seen in this collection are all neutral shades. Thanks for reading everyone! If you guys have tried any of these products yet, please let me know because I would love to hear your thoughts on them!

Spotted: Revlon ColorStay ShadowLinks

Hey everyone! Yes! Another new display from Revlon! This display features the new Revlon ColorStay ShadowLinks, which allow you to mix and match shadows to customize your own palette. If this concept seems familiar, its similar to the ones by Sallys Girl sold exclusively at Sally's Beauty. These are interchangeable eye shadows, which you can slide together to create your own customizable palette. This collection comes 12 single shadows but I don't know if Revlon is going to add more to this line. I like the colors in the collection so far because they included some great neutral shades and ones for creating smokey eye looks.

Let me know if you have seen these new Revlon ColorStay ShadowLinks and if you would buy any. What do you guys think about the concept?

Review: Physicians Formula Bronze Gems "Healthy Glow Bronzer"

Hey everyone! Its been a while since I posted up a review but I am trying not to haul as much as before. I do still have a couple of hauls that I need to post but I am trying to not buy anymore makeup until the holidays. I said tried so don't expect too much from me. LOL I do want to get one palette from Ulta 21 Days of Beauty event but we will see. If you know what palette I am talking about, definitely let me know if I should get it or not and if you are going to be buying it as well. I never tried the brand before but it looks like a great everyday palette.

I actually bought this bronzer when I first started getting into makeup. I am pretty sure that this is one of the first bronzers that I bought. I mainly bought this because I wanted something that I can use for multiple purposes since I was really into saving money back then. I loved makeup but didn't want to buy too much. Ha! If only the me back then could see my collection now. LOL This was a product that claimed that you can use it as a bronzer, highlighter, and as eyeshadows. This definitely sounds like a beauty money saver's dream, yes? Well you could look at it like that. I sort of wish I had actually gotten a different bronzer instead of this one. I mean its a good bronzer but I don't see myself using it that often and close to hitting pan on it.

As with all Physician Formula bronzers, blushes, and highlighters, all their packaging is bulky. If you don't own any Physician Formula products, then you wouldn't know why I am calling their packaging bulky. Its on the big side because they usually all contain a compartment inside containing a mini brush with a mirror. I don't ever use the brushes so I do wish that Physicians Formula would stop doing that. Let me know if you think the same too.

Anyways, lets get onto the actual product. There are "gems" on the side of the bronzer that you can use as a highlighter or as eyeshadows. I tried to use them as eyeshadows before and I didn't like it since they weren't pigmented enough. I actually had to swipe my fingers across the "gems" a couple of time to get them to show up on my fingers to take pictures of. If you are looking for a really soft wash of color, then maybe you might like this. For the bronzer, its a matte bronzer, which is nice. Matte bronzers are great for contouring and great for all year around. The only thing about this bronzer is that its almost the same as my skintone once I put it on. You can't even tell that I used it for contouring. LOL I have fair skin so that says a lot. Whenever I used this, I would mainly just swirl my brush all over the product and use it as an all over bronzer. Its nice to set my makeup with and does give me a healthy glow. I guess thats why the shade is called "Healthy Glow Bronzer." LOL

Would I repurchase this? No, I wouldn't. There are so many other bronzers that I love more. I feel like this was just a waste of my money. Its nice that its geared toward a multi-purpose product but it doesn't do well in all the purposes that its claimed for. I will try to finish it up but after that, I won't go back to this. I would just spend more money buying separate products for highlighters, bronzers, and eyeshadows. LOL The "gems" weren't pigmented enough for their intended uses. I actually had to scrape off the top layer of the "gems" to even get any color when I first used it. Let me know what you think.

QUESTIONS:
Have you ever tried this before?
What is your favorite bronzer?

June-July-August Favorites 2013

Hey everyone! Its been such a long time since I've done a favorites. I think my last one was for May so I decided to just sum up my June, July, and August favorites all in one! Maybe I will just do my favorites every three months instead since its more easier for me to keep up but we will see. Definitely let me know what you guys think. Some of these are new products and some of these are "old" products that you have seen in past monthly favorites. Anyways, lets get on with my favorites!

EYES:
◊ Lorac Mint Collection Eye & Cheek Palette
I love the shadows in this palette. Even though the mint shadow isn't the most pigmented shadow in the palette, I still love it! I just have to use a primer and another base then pat on the mint shadow to get it to show up on my eyes. I love wearing the mint shadow all over my lid and then using the matte brown in my crease and the shimmery brown (underneath the matte brown) in my outer corner. Then I would apply the first shadow as my brow bone highlight. Whenever I wear this eye look, I always get compliments. If you have this palette, you should definitely give this eye look a try. If you don't, you can now find this set at Nordstorm Rack for about half the price.
◊ Stila In The Moment Eye Shadow Palette
I bought this palette a few months ago and I am really liking it. I especially love the first three shadows because every time I use those three for an eye look, I always get compliments on my eyes. This palette is pretty great because it has your purples and neutral shades. I only wish that it had pinks as well instead of the black. I never use black shadows so I always hate it when a palette has one. I love wearing Impulse as an all over lid shade. Its the prettiest shade out of the whole palette and looks especially great on brown eyes.

◊ Coastal Scents 88 Eye Shadow Colors "Warm Palette"
I have really been loving this palette. I think I have probably been using it almost everyday. You will probably see this palette again in my September favorites as well. This palette is definitely great for those who love makeup and for those who are just starting in makeup. This palette has so many eye shadows with different finishes like mattes and shimmers. I love using this for creating matte eye looks since there are so many options to choose from. I have been thinking about getting the other 88 palettes, if you guys have any recommendations, let me know.

◊ Revlon Matte Eye Shadow "001 Vintage Lace"
I love this for my brow bone highlight. Its just the perfect shade and its matte, what more can you ask for! I think I bought this shade from the 99 Cents Store for only a dollar plus tax. I don't know if Revlon still sells this shade but I hope they do because I can see myself hitting pan on this shadow soon.
◊ Anastasia Brow Powder Duo "Dark Brown"
I can definitely see all the hype about this. I have been using it everyday since I bought it. I like to mix both the shades together for my perfect brow shade. I just use the little brush that came in the set and its perfect. It doesn't take me a long time to do my brows. I can make them skinny or more bold. Plus it lasts all day on my bows through the heat, which is perfect since I never have to worry about them melting off or smearing on me through the day. I definitely recommend this.

FACE:
◊ Urban Decay Naked Flushed Palette
This palette has everything you need for your cheeks. It has a bronzer, blush, and a highlighter. The bronzer is the perfect shade for contouring, which I do everyday because I want my face to appear slimmer. The blush is a pretty pink and very pigmented. I need a light hand whenever I am using this. The same applies to the highlighter as well. The highlighter is definitely pigmented and shimmery. If you use a heavy hand with this, you will definitely look like a disco ball. If I was traveling, I would definitely bring this since it contains all the products that you would need for your cheeks.

◊ Rimmel Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed Powder "001 Transparent"
I bought this because I was getting shiny on my forehead and cheeks so I wanted something that would keep me matte all day. I heard a lot about this pressed powder, especially on YouTube so I decided to give it a try. I didn't know what shade to get so I decided to just buy Transparent. It doesn't keep me matte all day but it does keep me shine-free for a couple of hours, which is longer than my Revlon Nearly Naked pressed powder.

◊ CoverGirl Outlast 3 in 1 Foundation "825 Buff Beige"
I am not sure if I love love this but so far, I am liking it. I heard so much about this when it came out that I wanted to buy it but of course, I told myself to wait. From all the reviews that I have read and seen, I got the impression that this was going to be medium to full coverage foundation similar to the Revlon ColorStay foundation but its definitely not. I would call this a light to medium coverage foundation since I would always have to apply at least two to three layers to cover the redness on my cheeks and my acne scars. The only reason why I am including this in my August favorites is because it lasts a long time on my face. I will probably be doing a full review on this soon.

◊ Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara "Extreme Black"
I have so many back-ups of this mascara. I love using this with my other mascaras to make my lashes look longer. The only thing that I don't love about this is that the formula is very wet. If you sneeze after applying this, you will definitely get smudges. It has happened to me a couple of times. LOL Plus I would always have to wait for this mascara to dry before I curl my lashes, which is fine since I would just curl them after I dress. If you are looking for an inexpensive mascara, you should definitely give this a try.

So those are all my favorites for the last few months. LOL Hopefully I don't end up procrastinating again because I really love blogging. Its just hard to keep up with sometimes but I don't want to lose any of you so hopefully, I will be able to have a couple of posts per week. Let me know if you would like to see any reviews or swatches on any of these products featured in this post. I am probably going to be posting up a couple of reviews soon since I have so many that I am behind. Please let me know if you have tried any of these products before and what you think of them. I would love to hear your opinions!

Spotted: Forever21 Love & Beauty Makeup

Hey everyone!  I have heard so much about their makeup online that I just had to check it out while I was there shopping for clothes. I heard a lot of great things about this one eyeshadow palette but I couldn't find it at my store but I did end up finding other eyeshadow palettes and a lip gloss set. Doesn't their packaging look cute? I haven't looked at any Love & Beauty products in such a long time but I actually think they upgraded with their packaging big time.

Anyways, while I was there I made sure to check their makeup to see what all the hype was about and I came across these Gloss Trios. I don't know if there are other shades since on the box it states "natural shades" but these retail for $6.80 plus tax. The colors in this trio are gorgeous and they look great for any look and for any day of the week. If you have tried these, please let me know what you think about these. I actually have been thinking about going back to buy this but then again, I already have so many lipglosses in my collection and some of them haven't even been opened yet.

Another makeup item that I spotted was this Beauty Book. I really like how it has the little heart hanging on the binder of the palette and the clear heart shaped window on the cover giving you a peek into the shadows of the palette. This palette has two blushes and 16 eye shadows. This palette has shadows great for creating any eye look from neutral to smokey eyes. This one is $9.80 plus tax, which isn't that bad for an eyeshadow palette. Plus it has two blushes so that is always a plus.

The last eyeshadow palette that I spotted was this Eye Shadow Notebook. Again, how adorable is this packaging? I love the color and the flowers on it. Plus its a great size to travel with as well or just to throw in your purse for any touch-ups throughout the day. There is a mirror inside the cover and there is this cute quote, "I look stunning today!" I love it when palettes have positive quotes like that, especially by the mirror. There are 6 shadows and one blush with a mini applicator in this palette. This one is $4.80 plus tax, which is the cheapest out of all the eyeshadow palettes that I found. Great for those on a budget!

Okay now onto the nail polishes. I only found on nail polish set and this one is the DIY Floral Nail Design Kit. It retails for $8.80 plus tax, which is such a great price for 7 nail polishes and a top coat. These nail polishes have that pointed fine tip, which makes them great for doing nail art. I haven't tried these but didn't buy these because I don't have a steady hand. I do love the colors of the polishes that the set comes with through. I have tried some Love & Beauty polishes and they do have good formula and quality so I can see these probably selling out soon.

So that is all for my spotted haul. I didn't end up buying anything but if you have tried any of these, please let me know if you end up loving these. I would love to know your opinions. There are some products that I do want to go back and buy but I have so much makeup already that I am not sure if I am going to buy them. Maybe after I check out the swatches and reviews. LOL Who knows, right?

Have you tried Forever21 makeup?

Spotted: L'Oreal Denim Shades Collection (Limited Edition)

Hey everyone! I finally had some time to visit my Walgreens to see if they had any good sales since I don't receive their weekly ads in my mail anymore but while I was there, I spotted a couple of new displays and new products! Yay! Whenever I walk into a drugstore, I automatically check out the new displays before going anywhere else in the store. Let me know if its the same with you guys. Anyways while I was there, I spotted a new display featuring the L'Oreal Denim Shades collection. This collection is actually limited edition so if you do see any new products, I highly suggest you go and check it out before it sells out. This collection features a variety of blue shades for different products. There are nail polishes, eyeshadow quads, eyeliners, mascaras, and single shadows.

For the nail polishes, if you love wearing blue polishes, you should definitely check out these. All of the shades are creme finishes. They are all gorgeous shades. You have 540 Jet Set To Paris, 530 Now You See Me, and 550 After Hours. Jet Set To Paris is a bright blue. Now You See Me is a dusty blue. After Hours is a deep dark navy. I heard that these polish shades aren't new but are repromote shades from previous collection so if you missed out on them before, this is your second chance to get your hands on them.

For the eyeshadows, L'Oreal decided to include two quads. These two quads are great to create different blue looks. The two quads are 208 Skinny Jeans and 211 Haute Couture. There are also three Infalliable eye shadows, which are repromotes and are permanent shades. You have 222 Infinite Sky, 337 Endless Sea, and 889 Mightnight Blue. My favorite would probably have to be both Infinite Sky and Endless Sea.

Last but not least are the new eyeliners and the new mascaras. Both of these products are limited edition so if you are interested in these, you better get your hands on them quick. There are two Infallible Never Fail Mechanical Eyeliners in 541 Navy and 561 Teal. These would definitely be great for the summer to add a pop of color to the waterline. The last product on the display is the Voluminous Million Lashes mascara. These claim to give no clumps. Plus if you love weaing colored mascaras, you might like this since its in 718 Blue. I have heard a lot of people raving about the original L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes mascara so its nice to see it in a blue shade.

So those are all the products that are included in this limited edition collection from L'Oreal. There are some products that are repromotes like the eyeshadows and the nail polishes but the eyeliners and mascaras are limited edition. I actually might go back and get the mascara since I have always wanted to try colored mascaras. Let me know if you have tried any of these and what products are you looking foward to trying.

QUESTIONS:
Have you seen this display at your stores yet?
