Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio Review Part 2

Hey everyone this is part 2 of my Wet N Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trios review

If you havent seen part 1 of my review on these palettes please click here to have a look :) :) Part one i have 4 of the trios reviewed and on this page i will show you the remains 3 palettes i own :)

I own 7 of these fab palettes and there is 12 available so i might be getting the rest to add to my collection hehehehehe.

So as i stated in my video and last review you are getting 3 shades in each palette. Which i wont go on about lol im sure the picture shows it all :) :)

Cool As Cucumber

Cool as Cucumber: As i said in my video This palette wouldnt be my favourite but i do like it. I love the 2nd and 3rd shade the 1st shade wouldnt be a shade i would go for all the time.

The browbone shade is a light lime green shade a little chalky but soft in texture

The Crease is a lovely dark burgundy shade i love this shade. Its highly pigmented and a little goes a long way

The eyelid shade is a Dark Green with tiny specks of purple shimmer

This palette is beautiful only the first shade is the chalkiest out of the lot. I absolutely love the purple it works so well.

Knock on Wood

Knock on Wood: This is a fab palette another of my favourites :) This is a fab palette for everyday use. The only thing i found was that this whole palette is chalky so be careful a little goes a long way and i find if you dip your brush instead of swiping it you wont have too much fall out.

The crease colour is a beautiful light purple/pink shade

The eyelid shade is a fabulous chocolate brown and very pigmented

The crease shade is a lovely medium burgundy shade and is also very pigmented

All shades give a nice frosty finish

Dont Steal my Thunder

Dont Steal my Thunder: Now this is a perfect palette for anyone. Anyone who likes a good smokey eye will love this.

The Browbone shade is a little on the chalky side but with a good brush this shadow works well for a highlight :) This is a frosty white

The crease shade is a good pigmented black with silver shimmer. Its not highly shimmery which is a bonus.

The eyelid shade is a typical silver shade

All eyeshadows in this palette blend well together and you need very little of each to achieve a good smokey eye.

With a good primer these trios will last literally all day long. I have no fault with them and think that they are an amazing value for what you are getting. I on the other hand prefer if WNW brought out more colour ranges in the 8 pan palettes rather than the trios as the 8 pan palettes cost $5 and the trios cost $3 you would be getting alot more value out of the 8 pans. I still think everyone would benefit out of buying the trios as there is alot to choose from and they are so handy for travel

Look out for future updates on this page as i do plan on buying the remaining trios (not that i need them lol but hey they are great value)

I hope you enjoyed this review if you have any questions ask away :)

until next time

Take care

Lots of Love Luck and Laughter

"Have Some Scents" Review & Shout out

Hey My Beautifuls

I think this has to be the most exciting blog post i have done so far

Why your wondering?

Well have you ever loved a perfume so much but find it so hard to get the money together to buy it. Like it always seems to be that your most favourite perfumes are expensive believe me I KNOW. I always find it hard to wear my perfume everyday as i know that if it runs out i will be waiting a while before i can buy it again

What if i told you that

1. You dont have to worry about that anymore

2. "You can get your favourite perfume without it been watered down and without alcohol been added". Water and alcohol have been added to this perfume but it is at much reduced rate than the high street etc. Their perfumes contain 20% scent oil making them PARFUM rather than the high streets 16-18% EDP.

3. You can get it at a really really really cheap price

Hard to believe isnt it? Well i tell you i also found it hard to believe too. I thought "yeah right this is just to get people to buy perfume and it will end up not been the actually real thing" I have to admit i was very very sceptic.

I WAS WRONG AND I WILL TELL YOU HOW I KNOW!!!!

A new page has just started on facebook called "Have some Scents" and the group contacted me asking me would i like to try some samples as they know people who be questioning why or how these perfumes are so cheap. To be honest i told them i was one of them. I also told them i would be happy to and that if im happy with them i will blog and let you all know about them. So they agreed and t lheyet me choose 5 samples in which i did

In one of those samples i made sure to include one of my favourite perfumes that i have been wearing for years Just to test and make sure it was real. Believe me if it was fake i would know.

I also took advantage of getting some samples of perfumes that i have never tested before to see would i find a new love.

These are the samples i received minus one as i gave that one to a friend. This is a great way to test these perfumes if you were not sure of them. To but these they cost 5 for £3.50 inc p/p or 10 for £6 this is very good as you get a good 4 or 5 applications out of each and to be honest a little of this perfume goes a long way.

I was once told that a pure perfume will last 3 to 4 days on you and even after washing your clothes you will still get the scent of that perfume off them. Well thats what happened with me while trying these samples. I was totally amazed.

The thing is to tell you a little of how this company works and try to explain to you why this company is selling high brand perfumes for such cheap prices. I am not going to write a big story about it but here is the link to tell you the reason and maybe then you will understand

so basically you are getting the pure perfume even purer than the actually perfume from the shops without paying for the name and the designed bottle HAPPY DAYS.

Now there is a catch (not a big one) to me anyway

You have to order the perfume by number which is right beside the list of scents that are available

Plus if you order a bottle of perfume you will be getting it in the companies bottles not the actual brands bottle. The actual scent oil is owned by Drom and it is because of this reason that FM can purchase it as their own. Now this is 110% legal dont get me wrong as long as the company puts the scent in their own bottles but the scents are compatible to the perfume listed beside the number.

EXCITED!!!!!

I think this is great. Its saving you money. You are getting the highest branded perfumes which are pure for a cheaper price

Like to me it doesnt make sense paying so much money just for the name and designed bottle as long as you smell gorgeous and it lasts for so so long what else matters :)

I already have my family crazy interested in ordering and have about 5 different bottles to order. :)

There is lists of perfumes and mens sprays available on the page so my advice is go over there and take a look. I promise you wont regret it.

Let me add i am in no no way getting paid for this review or anything this is 100% my honest review and you have no idea how excited i was to get on here to let you all know about this. I got these samples free from Tracey as she really wanted someone who would give an honest 100% true review about these and she knew i would do that :)

One thing i ask is if you do head over there and decide to buy tell them I sent you :) :)

One advice for the ladies is if you are trying to decide which scent to buy for your man GIRLS I HAVE A SCENT TO RECOMMEND THAT WILL MAKE YOU WANT TO SMELL HIM ALL DAY MMMMMMMM SEXY LOL

If you like Classic Men Bvlgari Aqua Pour Homme then you will love fm135 on that page

This scent is amazing believe me you will love it. This is the scent my brother wore the day he came home from Australia after 2 years and it was a huge surprise to see him but one thing i will remember about that day is the scent he had on him wow.

So i hope this was helpful to you all and enjoy your fragrances at a cheaper price :) :)

Until next time

take care

My Ebay Costume Jewellery Haul Part 2

Hey Everyone

How are you all doing :) :)

Today I am back with my Part 2 Ebay Costume Jewellery Haul yeeeeeee!!!!!

If you havent seen Part 1 already Check it out here

Most of the items i got are from the same person i got the last haul.

Apart from a couple which i will put links to their Ebay Shop down below

So on with the pictures :)

Starting of with my favourite

Well as I say in my video im in love with this necklace really I am so pleased i bought this and there is so much to this persons collection in their shop some really stylish ones you gotta check them out. This necklace is called Heat silver plated Pocket Watch Necklace in the shop and only cost me €2.67 free postage. If you want to check this out Click here to bring you straight to the Ebay shop.

These earrings so are so so pretty and simple. They look really pretty with your hair tied up or your hair down i really like them and got them at a great bargain for €0.98 free postage :) :) no bad eh?

I purchased these off SleepDog1981 which is the same site i purchased my first ebay haul from

This necklace was a bargain too. Its a sort of antique gold type necklace. As i said in the video i was disappointed with the part that goes around the neck but im really happy with the stone part. I find it unusual and i love it. I got this necklace for €0.98 also which is brilliant :)

This necklace is a perfect everyday wear. Its shorter than the rest of my necklaces it fits to just under my collarbone which i like. I got this necklace off the same site as the Pocket watch necklace and i paid €0.75 free postage bargain bargain bargain

This is another of my favourites i have to say it looks so pretty on. The chain is a slight bit on the cheap looking side close up but it looks lovely far away, you can always change that with another chain. The stone itself is beautiful i love its design. I actually paid €4 for this but in my eyes its so worth it :)

These earrings are fabulous on. I was wearing these in my video. Close up they do look a little cheap but they are very eye catching when not so close up. Unless your inspecting them about 2 cm away from your eyes no one would notice lol. I love how they sit straight me. These earring were so cheap and got them free postage too. I lost the sheet on were i had the price written but i did mention a price on the video ( i think) but i got the off SleepDog1981 site.

I think this bracelet is nice a dainty. It almost looks like a charm bracelet. Its really pretty and even though my initials are not D i still like it :). This cost me €2.29 free postage. My 10 year old daughter has here eye on this and i was thinking of giving it to her as its a perfect initial to stand for "Daughter" awwwwwww :)

These earrings are the ones i was saying i am not sure about. They are pretty but i suppose i just have to get used to wearing earrings that dont dangle. These cost me only €0.98 cent free postage bargain once again :)

I love this necklace. It goes well with everything. The chain is really strong and there is no fear of it ever snapping on you. This cost me only €2.48 free postage which again in my eyes is a bargain. I love it :)

That its everyone thats my haul finished. I got the most amazing pieces of Jewellery for Ebay and i will definitely continue in the future to purchase Costume Jewellery from there. I found it extremely cheap and the best thing about it is that they are different from the shops around me. Sometimes its nice to have something different that no-one in the same town has as well if im making sense.

I did have a couple of not so happy experiences with my 2nd haul as i said in my video but nothing major and i got sorted straight away.

I really do advise if you do or are thinking of purchasing anything off Ebay always look for either a top rated seller or someone who looks like they have sold a good few items. Also check out the feedback on their page its good to see what other people have to say about them. Also if you are unsure about the product or item you are thinking of buying ask questions and dont be afraid to ask as many questions as you want THEY ARE THE SELLER YOU ARE THE BUYER.....if they are not happy with the questions well then take your money elsewhere :) :)

So i hope you enjoyed this haul

Until next time take care

Lots of Love Luck and Laughter
