Wet n Wild Spring 2012 Fauna Look!

So today I have for the look from the Wet n Wild Spring 2012 Fauna set.

On the eyes:
-Nyx jumbo eye pencil in Milk blended all over the lid up to the browbone
-I took the Browbone color and swept it all over the lid up to the browbone
-Using a flat shader brush I took the Eyelid color and packed it on the outer 1/3 of the eye
-Using a fluffy crease brush I took the Crease color and blended in the crease blending up and out
I used Wet n Wild's cream liner in Eggplant as a liner then applied mascara.
On the cheeks I used wnw Pearlescent Pink and on the lips I used wnw megalast lipstick in Pink Suga' and wnw glassy gloss lip gel in Glass Confusion.

What do you think of this spring look? or the Wet n Wild spring sets?

Wet n Wild Flora set look!

I haven't done a look in sooo long! I felt like this was a perfect opportunity to do a look. I used everything in the set to achieve this look.

On the eyes
-UDPP
-NYX jumbo eye pencil in milk as a base
-With a fluffy brush I blended the "Eyelid" color in the crease
-With a smaller dome brush I blended the "Crease" color into the deep socket of the eye and blended up
-With a flat shader brush I packed on the "Browbone" color on the eyelid.
-And lastly I took a fluffy brush and blended the wnw single in "Brule" and applied that to my browbone.

I used a dark green gel liner then applied mascara. That's it!

On my cheeks and lips I used what was in the kit, Mellow Wine blusher and Mow the Glass lipgloss. I also used Within These Adobe Walls lipstick.

What do you think of this set?

Spring 2012 Wet n Wild Collection!

I got these new Wet n Wild sets from Fred Meyer just yesterday. They were fully stocked but the display only holds 3 of each set so if you wanna get your hands on some of these you better act fast! They were $4.99 each.

Each set has a new eyeshadow trio, a mini blush, a lipgloss and a nail polish. The only thing "new" is the eyeshadow trios. The rest are from the permenant line and the blushes are mini.

 

This set is called Flora.

Description on back of box:

Our fresh fields of Flora are perfect for the innocent ingenue, whose gentle beauty is accentuated with flushed pink cheeks, bright colored eye, soft sunny lips, and nail tips reminiscent of twining vines.

Twining Vines Fast Dry Nail Color, this looks JUST like last summers Ocean Grotto, a shimmery glittery lime green

From left to right:
Browbone, a shimmery lime green, very close to the eyelid color in the I Dream Of Greenie trio, but this is a bit lighter.

Eyelid, a bright tangerine orange, an original

This set is called Fauna.

Sorry my photos dont do these trios justice!! Eye looks for these are to come! :D

Coastal Scents Haul

I made my very first purchase through coastalscents.com. I knew I wanted brushes because they are so inexpensive! I thought why not? I have a few Makeup Geek brushes that I love and I know that they come from Crown Brush, I'm thinking these coastal scents brushes come from Crown brush as well. The Crown brush website is too expensive for me so thats how I decided lol

ANYWAY! Gosh lol This is what I got (from top to bottom 3rd pic):

Shadow/Liner brush, $1
Chisel Angle Fluff brush , $1.50
Deluxe Duo Fibre Shadow brush, $1.98
Pro Blending Fluff brush, $1.98
Classic Blender Synthetic brush, $2.95
Classic Blender Natural brush, $2.95

And then the Go Palette in Cairo, Egypt.

From first impression the shadow/liner brush and angle fluff brush suck, I thought they were bigger, but that's okay because they were the least expensive lol. I really like the Pro Blending and Duo Fibre brushes. The Classic Blender brushes are pinched at the ferrule and I thought they were dome shaped, and I wish they were, but they still feel really nice.

I quickly swatched a few of the Go Palette shadows and the color payoff is pretty good from what I can tell so far. I still need to play around with it.

I thought about getting one of the 88 shadow palettes but I just can't decide... I already have a lot of palettes like that, such as ELF 100 shadow palette... Does anyone have an 88 shadow palette? Would you recommend it?? Please Help me decide! LOL

OH AND! They included the cutest bumper sticker!!! I <3 MAKEUP!! LOL (I Instagram'ed it lol)

NEW MAC Nicki Minaj and Ricky Martin Viva Glam Collab!!!

Okay so I got an email on January 31st from MAC saying that I was able to order the new Nicki Minaj and Ricky Martin Collab Viva Glam (mouthful huh?) lipstick before anyone else. I of course jumped right on it. You could only order one lipstick though, but you could send the email to 2 friends so they are able to get it early as well. This isn't available until Feb. 15th.

This lipstick is $14.50 and all proceeds go to HIV/AIDS research.
I received this shipment in less than a week but wasn't able to post until today.

MAC describes this as a bright yellow pink, and that it is lol. I musta took 20 pics for the lip swatch and I couldn't get the correct color. The pic of the lipstick in the tube is the closest I could get to the true color, SORRY! :/

For MUCH better pic quality please click on picture!!

Anyway, this is a satin finish and glides on smooth and pretty opaque. This is VERY bright but I think it goes very well with my skintone because it's a yellow-orangy undertone rather than a blue based undertone. I'm excited to wear this in the summer, I plan on tapping on my lips rather than swiping :D

So what do you think of this collab? Will you be picking this up?

Questions or comments leave em below! :D

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate Moss

I'm not sure of this is a limited edition collection by Rimmel but the colors are going fast! It seems like Kate Moss has been modeling for Rimmel for a long time.. she should have her own permenant line by now! hehe

I got these on BOGO 50% off but originally these were $5.49 each and I got them at Fred Meyer about 2 weeks ago. Prices may vary where you live.

I picked up:
#08- mid-tone mauve-y pink, no shimmer
#14- light beige with a slight pinky undertone, no shimmer

Please click on pics for MUCH better pic quality!!!

On the Rimmel London website there are 7 shades but at the store there were only 5 shades, 2 of each. I wanted to get back up's but since there were only 2 of each I felt bad taking all that that was there... These are very smooth and creamy and last a considerable amount time.

My one rant about these is that they don't have names, only numbers. I like names!! LOL but that's def not a deal breaker for me. If they still have the reddish coral color next time I go to the store I'm going to pick that up as well.

Did you spot these anywhere? Did you pick any up? Which is your fav?

MAC Naturally Blushes!

Hello everyone!

I was really sad when I didn't get a chance to go to my local MAC counter and check out the new Naturally collection. It has been WAYYYyyy too cold out and my car died :( Had to get a car battery charger to get it running again.. :/ That's besides the point lol So I went to maccosmetics.com to see if they had anything left there. I REALLY wanted to get some lipsticks, but of course they were sold out of almost everything... So I decided to go to nordstrom.com and low and behold!! They had almost everything in stock! Except the lipsticks I wanted :( So don't forget about online sites like Nordstrom and Macy's if you're looking for something!!! :D

I only got two blushes, Subtle Breeze and Fresh Honey.
Fresh Honey-a golden shimmery peach/apricot
Subtle Breeze- a soft pink with blue undertones

Please click on pics for MUCH better pic quality!!

These are $22 each and have .10oz or 3.2g of product. These are my first minerlize blushes from mac, and I think that the Milani blushes are very comparable. So if you couldn't get your hands on these, get Dolce Pink and Luminoso :D
