Wet N Wild Coloricon Blusher in Berry Shimmer

Hello Beauties I hope you are all well :) 

Todays review is on a new blush I added to my collection about 2 months ago and I have to say I have been reaching for it alot lately.  

I was recently told by my nurse that my iron levels are low due to my pregnancy so you can imagine how pale in complexion I am :)  Unfortunately my normal go to blush shades havent been giving me that natural flush I love and I needed something a little deeper to give me that boost.  So when I went to my local pharmacy I automatically picked this blush up as I thought it would be the perfect pick me up for my cheeks :) 

Wet N Wild is such an affordable brand and I just couldnt resist this shade in particular :) 

I cant tell you how hard it was not to grab all the blushes from the stand and run with them especially because of its affordable price of €4.59 each but I was a good girl and only got one to try out first :) 

As far as I know there is only 4 shades available :) but even with only 4 shades you are guaranteed to find a shade suitable for your skin tone.  

Wet N Wild state:  Sweep on this silky-smooth blush that strikes the perfect balance between a blendable transparent sheen and a radiant pop of maximum color. A special blend of treated nylon powders provides long-lasting color. Dermatologist-tested.

Talking briefly about packaging of course with any drugstore product the packaging isnt exactly exciting.  I dont mind that as 9 time out of 10 the companies concentrate on the product more than the packaging :) 

I certain would not trust the packaging to take a hard fall as I can see it will shatter easily but the lid is very sturdy which means it is not going to come off too easily :) 

Inside the packaging you will see your beautiful blusher which is a very decent size might I add :) The blusher also comes with a decent brush which is slanted which makes applying to the cheeks alot easier :)  I personally dont like the feel of the brush as it feels slightly hard and when using on the blush creates a little chalky mess ( I will show you what I mean below)  It can be handy for travelling if you need a touch up :) 

The great thing about these blushes are that alot of bloggers who have Nars Blushes have easily compared these to the Nars Blushes :) :)  They say that they are a very good dupe of them which is exciting right?  I can not vouch for that for sure as I dont own any Nars blushes but The bloggers who have stated this I trust 100% :) 

Just look at that stunning view :) :)  I am so so glad I chose this shade as its hugely hugely pigmented and a little goes a long way.  Berry Shimmer is a lovely deep pink with reddish undertones and to add some dazzle to the shade there is tiny specks of golden shimmer in there to give a beautiful healthy glow.  I love how easy this blush is to use.  I also love how soft a creamy it feels to touch and as for blending wow this blush blends like a dream :) 

This blush would be suitable for every skintone.  Even though its highly pigmented you can have control of how pigmented you want it on your cheeks. 
 If you are very fair very lightly dab your brush on the blush, tap off the excess and swirl the brush onto the back of your had before lightly sweeping onto your cheeks :) 
If you are fair to medium skintone lightly dab the brush onto the blush tap off the excess and lightly seep across the cheeks :) 
Of course if you are medium to dark you will not have to worry about tapping off the excess as your skin is deep enough for the shade :) 

Here is a photo of a swatch I made with a brush with a good dab of product on the brush 

I just love this so so much :) I have to say this is one of the best blushes in this price range that I have tried :)  I can safely say the pigmentation the quality and the longevity of these as just as good as some high end blushes I have tried :) I am certainly going back to pick up more of these :) :) 

Here is a photo of just how much it brightens up my pale non rosy complexion making me look so so much healthier and naturally flushed :) :) 

Have I told you that I love it :)  You would be cray cray not to try these blushes for yourself :) :) 
These are available in Ireland now at any Dunnes, Penneys or leading pharmacies :) :) 

I hope you enjoyed my review :) 
Until next time 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Wet n Wild Megalast Liquid Lip Color Review

Hello My beauties How are you all today :) 

I absolutely love it when i share with you my good experiences with products and the fact that 98% of what I have reviewed are all positive but there are times I feel I should share with you products that I have had bad experiences with also.  After all we like to know this as much as all the good dont we?  Well i like to get warned about products that I might think would work for me but infact could end up been a bad buy. 

This review is one of those bad experiences reviews :(  which I am sad to say as Wet N Wild is a huge favourite of mine and it will continue to be but of course there is always one or two products from every brand that does not live up to their expectations.  After all they can not be always perfect can they? 

This is one product that did not live up to my expectations and it really does sadden me to say this it really does because everything apart from its performance impressed me alot with these Megalast Liquid Lip colors but before i show you why it disappointed me let me tell you a little about this first 

To Be honest I am still a little confused at the prospect of this because after reading reviews from other bloggers they painted a picture of this product been amazing yet I come across other reviews in which bloggers had not so amazing reviews about it so of course I just had to find out for myself.  

What I love about Wet N Wild is the amazing amazing pigmentation they offer on all their products be it their eyeshadows ,  their blushes and their lip products so you can only imagine the pigmentation these Liquid Lip Colours have to offer and I can not put a wrong marking on that as they are extremely pigmented.  One of my favourite Lip Products from Wet N Wild is the Mega Last Lip Color Lipsticks they are the bomb the pigmentation is amazing they are smooth and last so so long on the lips 

Wet n Wild did not go wrong with pigmentation on these Liquid Lip Colors either in fact they are so pigmented you really have to take care while applying them or you will have a mess (in a good way) 

Dont they look beautiful :)  Wet n Wild state:

Intense liquid color with built-in moisturizer provides one-step application for weightless, ultra-conditioning wear that lasts up to 8 hours. ElastiSilk formula combines flexible color adhesion with silky-smooth pigments for transfer-proof, even application. Paraben-free formula conditions and moisturizes with vitamin E that helps promote anti-aging, protects the skin's moisture barrier, and balances the lip's natural hydration for a healthy-looking, plump pout all day.

Well now let me tell you when I swatches these on my arm first I seen the promises coming to reality honest one swipe of this and I had instant pigmentation.  I could see the moisture and shine from the swatches and I could also see it dried into what looked like the perfect matte finish.  After it dried there was no budging it whatsoever and even when i tried to scrub this off my arm with soap and a scrub brush it only half budged off my arm as you can see below.  

I made sure to prep my lips by ex-foliating and applying balm as I knew these were a stain.  At first application the liquid lip color looked amazing I literally only used one coat to completely cover my lips and it felt very smooth creamy and moisturising never mind the shades look fantastic 

Thats when my smile turned upside down.  Once the product started to dry on my lips it felt stick and heavy and I could get this horrible gloopy feeling on my lips.  Not only that but I felt my lips had never touch a drop of water in about 2 weeks oh my goodness.  Then i looked in the mirror and too my horror I see the horrible vision in front of me :( 

This happened to both lip products and to be honest I tried everything I mean everything to make these babies work.  My lips were in perfect condition, I even dabbed my lips a little with tissue to review the oils from my balm to see would that work.  I applied a lip pencil first then applied a thin layer of this over and the same thing happened.  

The only way I could remove this was to use an oil based make-up remover otherwise this was not going anywhere.  

It is such a pity they did not work out for me as the idea of them were brilliant.  Maybe Wet n Wild has already taken note of this and possibly working on the formula i really hope so because only for that they would be amazing.  As i stated before Wet N Wild has never disappointed me before and quite possibly ever again this is just one product out of many I have tried that didn't work for me.  

Have you tried these before?  Did they work for you ? 

Until next time

Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Wet N Wild 8 Pan Eyeshadow Palette In Nude Awakening..... Naked Palette Dupe Alert

Hello My Gorgeous Readers How are you all today?

I am so so sorry for the lack of blog posts lately but I have a really good excuse.  I am trying to do up my house before Christmas painting, getting rid of unwanted items and of course trying to get storage set up and its alot of work especially when you have the normal everyday runnings of the house with 5 children.  Its really starting to get together now thank goodness so here I am with another review for you and I promise I will be more regular with my posts :) :) 

Oh by the way I have a nice Little giveaway on my facebook page for any of you who fancy winning 2 of my favourite products Check it out here 

Today I have a Urban Decay Naked Palette Dupe for you :)  A More affordable amazing palette :) :) of course from Wet N Wild :)   I am telling you the more products I get from this brand the more I want and love it.  Its such a pity Its not available anywhere else except America 

Spring 2013 was an exciting time for all Wet N Wild fans when the company released 2 limited edition 8 pan palettes and I am delighted to have one in my collection.  The other palette is called "Going in the Wild".  

Both palettes looked amazing but I just had to choose this one as you can not fail with a neutral palette plus the moment I seen it I thought Naked!!!!!! 

TADAAAAAAAAAAAAA Aint it Purdyyyyyyyyyyyy :) 

First of all let me just say I am loving the packaging.  Its a nice change from the typical black case they normally have for their eyeshadows .  Its bright cheerful and full of life :) :) 

Nothing has change apart from that.  

Ok let get on to these amazing shadows :) :) Starting with the left side 

Browbone:  This shade is one you have to work with and is one of the less pigmented shades in the palette its a nice semi matte vanilla shade with tiny specks of shimmers.  This is a perfect highlight shade and lid colour.  The colour can be built up to a nice pigmented shade and does look amazing.  This is a Dupe of UD "Virgin" to be honest I do prefer Virgin as its alot more pigmented and alot more noticable 

Eyelid:  This is a light bronze shade with shimmers.  This shade feels so so creamy and soft and gives a nice satin finish.  I found the pigmentation amazing from this shade and looks amazing ove Maybellines Color Tattoo in Bad to Bronze :) :) This is the dupe of UD "Sidecar"  There is not a huge difference between these two shades apart from maybe "Sidecar" bee a little more on the orange side

Crease:  This is the only Matte shade in the whole of the palette i'm afraid.  This is the perfect transition colour or even crease colour.  A perfect soft creamy matte brown I love it.  This is the dupe of UD "Buck"  Buck is a little darker than this shade but to be honest I prefer this shade 

Definer:  A Deep Dark Brown with shimmers going This is the perfect crease and outer V shade.  The shimmers are literally unnoticeable if you did want to use it in the crease and let me tell you this shade is highly pigmented soft and blends amazingly.  This is the Dupe of UD "Dark Horse" again "Dark Horse" is a little darker than this shade but to be honest I prefer this shade as I find "Dark Horse" can be a little messy sometimes whereas this shade applies like a dream with no fall out 

Next up is Right Hand side :) :) 

Browbone:  Awwww I love love love this shade :) :)  This is a beautiful bronzey browns with a tint of pink going through it.  This is incredibly pigmented and feels smooth and cream.  Just love it.  This is the Dupe of UD "Toasted" Ok Toasted wins this time as its alot more deeper in shade but its not a bad match 

Eyelid:  awwww another amazing shade.  A dark brown with a slight burgundy finish.  This feels smooth and creamy and blends amazing a little goes a long way :) :) This is the Dupe of UD "Hustle"  Again not a massive difference apart from the quality I find this shade better than hustle in the fact it feels smoother and creamier and applies like a dream 

Crease:  A Stunning deep grey with silver shimmers.  The shimmers can be blended into nothing if used on the crease.  I did find this shade to be a little chalky and expect some fallout otherwise a great pigmented shade.  This is of course the Dupe of UD "Gunmetal" as you will see Gunmetal is alot deeper and pigmented but again not a bad match 

Definer:  This shade is a Shimmer black the shimmers are chunky.  A little goes a long way as its hugely pigmented.  I did find you have to build this black to make it look black as when first applied it looks more like a very deep grey because of the shimmers.  This is the dupe of UD "Creep"  I have to say "Creep" wins me over because the black is alot more intense that this shade 

Here is all the shades together and can I add that these swatches are made with no primer underneath 

Here is the swatches of  the comparisions of the wet n wild nude awakening and the Urban Decay Naked Palette dupe shades :) 
You will notices some of the shades are not exact but are close and then you will notice some of them exactly the same :)  All Swatches are made with no primer underneath 

Here is a day time look using the Wet N Wild Nude Awakening 

Overall I think Wet n Wild have done an amazing job on copying the Naked Palette and to be honest there is a few Shades in the Wet N Wild Palette I prefer over the Naked.  For a very affordable palette this has surely become another of my favourites and has been used alot since I got it.  
Where to get this palette I hear you ask.  Well I got mine on Ebay, you just have to be lucky enough to catch a seller who is selling it at the right price or near it and you can also get both limited Edition Palettes on the Non Pariel Website where they are selling both palettes for $15 for a limited time only.  
Have you tried this palette yet ? 
Until Next Time 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Wet N Wild Color Icon 8 Pan Eyeshadow Palette in Petal Pusher

Hello My beautiful gorgeous readers How are you all today :) 

Well incase you havent guessed It I got my hands on some more Wet N Wild Products thanks to a fantastic fellow beauty blogger who agreed to do a swap with me a couple of months ago :) :)  My swap was with the beautiful Shannon from The Creation of Beauty is Art .

Shannon wanted to try out some products that she could not get easily where is is from in America and of course I want to try some I couldnt get either I got some Wet n Wild products which I am absolutely over the moon about as I love love love Wet n Wild.  Plus I wanted to try some other products I have never tried before :) 

Here is a picture of what I got from Shannon in which I will be reviewing bit by bit :) 

So today I am reviewing The Wet N Wild 8 Pan Eyeshadow palette in Petal Pusher as this is the only 8 pan palette I didnt get my hands on :) :) 

If you missed my review on the Comfort Zone Check it out here This is one of my favourtie eyeshadow palettes to use I love it and Shannon was kind enough to send me a back up :) 

and I also have the Blue Had me at Hello Which you can see here 

I was super super excited when I finally got Petal Pusher as I knew that it contained some of my favourite colours :) 

Wet n Wild is available in America and some sites on the net so it is not impossible to get Wet n Wild.  I will add link at the end to where you could purchase some for yourself :) 
Anyway back to this fantastic palette 
These cost an amazing $5 each yes $5 which is less than 4 euro for 8 eyeshadows bargain bargain bargain !!!!!!!

Eight dynamic, perfectly color-coordinated shades with high pigment and pearl for ultra-impact color. Shades can be used together or individually to create an endless variety of looks.

The packaging is brilliant for the price too.  There is no mirror just a clear lid showing the shades.  The lid is sturdy enough not to break in your bag but if it did get a bad bang it will crack.  

You are also getting an applicator one side is a sponge type brush and the other is a slanted brush which is handy if you didnt own any brushes of your own. 

I know I said Comfort Zone was my favourite but I have too say this Palette is my 2nd favourite.  It contains a beautiful mixture of pinks and purples its absolutely stunning  There is a mixture of shimmer and frosty shade and as you can see there is no matte but I dont mind that.  

So let me show you these beautiful shades close up :)  Keep in mind All swatches are made with no primer underneath 

Starting with the Left side 

Browbone :  Is a shimmer white with a tint of purple in it.  This is a perfect highlight shade but I did find this shade to be less pigment than the rest of the shades 

Eyelid :  This is a stunning satin Pinky mauve shade.  This is amazingly pigmented and very easy to work with a perfect blending shade 

Crease : This is an absolutely stunning shade.  A stunning deep purple with silver shimmers.  This is a very pigmented shade and a little goes a long long way.  I did find this shade creates some fallout so be extra careful.  

Definer:  This is a bluey purple with silver shimmers I found this less pigment than I expected.  I also found it to be a bit on the chalky side but with a good primer this works great :) 

Now for the right side :) 

Browbone:  This beautiful stunning bright shade I absolutely love :)  Its a very pigmented frosty icey Pink.  This feel smooth soft and buttery a little goes and long way.  

Eyelid:  A deep burgandy shade with gold shimmers  this surprisingly was again less pigmented than I anticipated it is pigmented dont get me wrong but I found i had to build up the colour in the swatch.  

Crease:  I actually thought this was a black but I was wrong its a beautiful deep dark brown with a burgandy undertone to it.  There is specks of shimmers in this shade but you barely notice it when on the eyes 

Definer:  This shade look more of a dark grey in the pan but it could pass for a black as its that dark this shade has silver shimmers in it.  You will also experience a little fallout with it but nothing to crazy :)  A little goes a long way

I can not recommend this palette enough to you all especially if you like purples and pinks :)  This palette is amazing for the price and most of the palette is hugely pigmented.  The lasting power of these shadows especially worn over a primer lasts all day long and even into the night.  I found no fading.  

Here is a look I did with the palette 

I used the 1st shade on the right all over the lid 

the 2nd shade on the left as a blending shade 

the 3rd shade on the left on the outer 3rd of the lid and into the crease 

and the last shade on the right on the outer V 

I used NYX Jumbo pencil in Yogurt as a primer 

I really hope Wet N Wild make more of these palettes as I know for sure i would buy each and every one of them for a drug store brand they do an amazing job and have amazing quality.  

Do you own any of these palettes?

What's your thoughts on them 

You can buy these palettes on ebay or on the Non Pariel Site (keep in mind this site can be expensive on postage depending on how much you order)

Until next time 

Lots of Love Luck and Laughter

#28 Days of Kisses *Day 12 Lipstick Tag

Hey my beauties how are you all today :) 

Wow this weather is so annoying I only wish the sun will come soon.  I have so many products I need to get photos of for reviews and the lighting is horrible any ways hopefully it will get better soon :) 

Todays lipstick choice has been one of my long time favourites actually its been a favourite for the past 2 years and I still to this day love it.  I have even bought back ups of it just in-case for any silly reason the company decides to take it off the market or something.  Plus The brand I am talking about is not available here or even in Europe, in fact the brand does not even have an on line site :( which is such a pity Because this brand is one of my top favourite drugstore brands :) :) 

The Brand I am Talking about ??

Wet N Wild Mega last Lip Color in 902C "Bare it All"
I am absolutely in love with this lipstick.  I have 3 other shades and actually have some more on the way check out the other shades I have here :) 
Wet N Wild has some fantastic products and it kills me to say its so hard to get our hands on them :( There is a couple of sites like nonpareil.com where you can get these but be careful of shipping it can be expensive the more you buy from it ans of course Ebay 
Anyway im babbling again :) 
These lipsticks are amazing amazing amazing for the price.  Price wise they will vary depending on where you get them but in America I think they cost about $2-$3 for 3.3g of product which is alot of product for one tiny price :) :) 

I have been loving matte lipstick alot lately as i have mentioned before and these too are a great wearable matte lipstick.  They are not a full matte but a matte with a little sheen :) In other words a semi matte.  Not only are they HUGELY pigmented but they a soft and creamy too :) 
They also don't sink into a lines you may have on your lips due to dryness.  
They are amazingly easy to apply too.  They glide and blend on brilliantly.  
If you do suffer with dry lips that's easily fixed by applying a balm to your lip before hand. 
The lasting power is all depending on the shade in all honesty for instance if you have an intense red on you that would surely last longer.  This shade is light so it may last a little less but I found this lasted a good 4 hours before I needed a little touching up.  Which to be honest does not bother me in the slightest as its such a dream to apply and wear :) 
"Bare It All" is a stunning light brown nude shade with a peachy undertone 

Just look at that pigmentation the first swatch is just one swipe the second is 3 layers.  I have taken photos of the lipstick on my lips in both natural light and with flash of the camera bother ways looks amazing :) 

This is what it looks light with flash of camera :) 

This is what it is like in natural daylight 

This is what it looks like with a sheer shimmer glossy over it :) Still amazing :) 

So thats my Lips of the day :) What did you wear on yours :) 

Check out the ladies who have also taken part in #28Kisses posts you might see something you want to try out for yourself :)
