::Top 5:: Fall + Winter Lipsticks

Hey Guys!
It's finally getting cold down here in the South and I've been pulling out the dark lipsticks. My favorite brand, as you will be able to tell, has definitely been Wet N Wild. Their Megalast  lipsticks are the bomb.com with the pigmentation and lasting power. They are definitely my favorite drugstore lipstick brand!

I think dark lips can be pulled off with all skin tones, it's just about finding the right undertone and color for you. You can also make them more wearable by adding a lip liner or a gloss of a different color.


My Top Five Are ~drum roll please~::

Ravin' Raisin | Cherry Bomb | Sugar Plum Fairy | Vamp It Up | [MAC]  Yung Rapunxel

SWATCHES:

Be sure to check out the video to see lip swatches of these colors. What colors will you be trying in the fall time?

NOTD: Tiptoeing Into Fall

Hey Guys!

On my nails I'm wearing Zoya's Moxie[Raspberry] & Wet N Wild's Club Havana[Orange]. I think I'm tiptoeing into fall polishes with this manicure because I'm still holding onto the summer and bright colors with the peachy orange accent nails. Zoya still, in my opinion, has the best polish formula I've ever tried! No color has ever been streaky [aside from their matte polish line] and have been opaque in two coats!

Have you already brought out your fall colors or are you still clinging to summer brightness? Thank you for reading!

TOP 5:: Palettes [4 Drugstore/1 High End]

Hey Guys!

I'm randomly going to be doing a series talking about my "Top 5 favorite [insert product type here]."

Today, It's palettes:

*NOTE* The way I number these palettes are strictly at random, there's no way I could rank them! [Clockwise]

1. Nicka K Perfect Eighteen Colors: This is my go to palette when I want to do a bright, colorful look [look1 & look2]! I recently bought the second version [see here] and I love it just as much! These palettes are under $5 at your local Beauty Supply Store. [Swatches]
2. Wet N Wild Vanity 6 Pan*: WnW discontinued their 6-pans and I have no idea why!! This palette is one I use if I'm limited on space and I need a palette that's all in one. This is also easy and a no brainer to grab when I'm in a rush. [Swatches/Look]
3. Wet N Wild Comfort Zone*: These shadows are soooo buttery, it's unbelievable![look here] Of the permanent 8-pans WnW has, this is the most versatile and definitely my favorite [because I'm a neutral girl]. You can find this for about $4.99 at drugstores and everywhere else WnW is sold! [Swatches]
4. Urban Decay NAKED: This is a cult favorite but, honestly, there's a good reason! These shadows are super creamy in texture and you have a wide range from light to dark colors. I can't use this palette alone because their matte crease shades are too light for my skin tone. I don't have NAKED2 so I can't really compare the two. You can buy this palette from Ulta, Sephora, and everywhere else Urban Decay is sold for $50[in stores specified]. [Swatches via Temptalia]
5. Wet N Wild I Heart Matte[LE]*: This was the hardest for me to get my hands on, but I knew I had to get it. At the time this released, I was on the hunt for the perfect matte brown in my crease and once I saw swatches, the hunt began. As you can see, I've hit pan on the matte brown and it's wonderful. The other colors are beautiful as well, they're super easy to blend [as most WnW shadows are] which is very surpring because they're all matte. I hope WnW releases another all matte palette soon!   [Swatches via Nouveau cheap]

[* denotes if I've purchased a backup, a rarity]

Those are my Top 5 Palette, what are yours? Thanks so much for reading!

FOTD: Mermaid Tears

Hey Guys!

I wanted to revisit the Wet N Wild Blue Had Me At Hello palette. The last look I did wasn't satisfactory in my opinion.

YUCK. Ignore my nose pores. Bleh

Cheeks: MUFE #18

Lips: Revlon Just Bitten Balm Stain in Rendezvous

Thanks so much for reading!!!

CLOSEUP:: Wet N Wild's Comfort Zone 8 Pan Palette

Hey Guys!

I know you've probably heard of it before, but I recently fell back in love with Wet N Wild's Comfort Zone palette. I wanted to show you a closer up view of it along with swatches. The Comfort Zone palette is the most wearable out of all the 8 pan palettes. The left side is neutrals and the right side has greens and a beautiful blue duo chrome shadow [said to be a dupe for MAC's Club].

What I've Been Loving: February Edition

Hey Guys!!! Long time, no talk! I've been busy with school and actually having a life and trying to sleep somewhere in between all that!! Haha, anyway I'm here to show you what I've been reaching for constantly aka my "favorites". I have quite a few because I haven't done a post like this in a while and I've acquired a lot of stuff! Here's What I've Been Loving!

Sorry it's a lil fuzzy, I had to lighten it some.

1. Beauty Secrets Acetone nail remover- This particular formula is for natural nails and it has vitamins in it. It still has acetone, I know, but my nails don't feel nearly as dry as they used to with my old polish remover! I bought this at Sally's.
2. Sally Hansen Hard As Wraps acrylic gel- Read my review here
3. OPI polish Pedal Faster Suzi!- I bought this a couple of weeks ago. Look for a NOTD featuring this polish soon! It's the perfect pink to me.
4. China Glaze polish Dorothy Who?- I love love love this polish!!!! I fell in love with it a long time ago when I was browsing a nail blog and I just happened to run across it while I was in Sally's! I was too excited. I took a NOTD picture, but this polish is very hard to photograph.
5. E.L.F. Eyeliner Brush- I use this to clean up around my manicures. The Dorothy Who? polish stained it some haha.

1. MAC Matchmaster foundation in 9.0- I haven't done a blog post, but I did a video! Cliff notes version: I love it!!!!
2. Color Tattoo in Pomegranate Punk- This is my second used color tattoo, it's such a beautiful color.
3. Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze- I love this color tattoo! I usually reach for this one more than any other because it's neutral and can go with so many types of looks! [To see my review and swatches of all the other C.T.s I have, click here]
4. Maybelline's Volum' Express The Colossal mascara- I don't know where I've been, but this mascara is my new fave! I had to use it when I misplaced my normal mascara. It's great, I'll do a review soom =)
5. CoverGirl Liquilineblast eyeliner- This liner is perfect in my waterline. If I'm in a hurry, its smooth enough to glide on quickly!

Excuse my reflection =)

1. "Neutral" Coastal Scents Hot Pot's palette- These shadows are some of the softest and pigmented shadows I've tried in a while. For my swatches, click here.
2. Wet N Wild 6 pan palette in Lust- This palette is perfect for doing a non-traditional smokey eye.
3. Wet N Wild 6 pan palette in Vanity- I use this palette anytime I want a quick look that I know will come out great [along with the B.T.T.B color tattoo]. Great neutrals. For swatches of the 6 pan palettes, click here.

1. Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Deeeeeep Conditioner- I'm a new fan of the Aussie products. I leave this deeeeeep conditioner [how cute is the name?] in my hair while I shower and it makes my hair so soft! This is definitely an impressive conditioner.
2. Wet N Wild Megalast lipstick in Ravin' Raisin- I had to include this in my favorites because its the first lipstick I think I've liked in a long time. A swatch is on the same post as the 6 pan palettes above.
3. Revlon lip butter in Sugar Plum- This is the perfect mauve pink. It's not too bright and can be an everyday color [swatch].
4. Palladio herbal tinted lip balm in Orange- I recently picked this up from Sally's clearance section and I wish I'd picked up more than one! I've been using it non stop since I've gotten it. It has a sheer orange color and it's really glossy. The staying power isn't as long as I'd like, but I can get over that.
5. Sigma Beauty's Hollywood Glamour retractable brush- This brush is super duper soft! I keep it in my makeup bag for touching up, if I need to.
6. Tweezerman Mini tweezers- These came from Sally's. I like to pluck my eyebrows in between waxes and these get the job done! Plus they're pink =)
7. Maybelline Eye Studio gel liner- Opaque black line. Creamy consistency. Great staying power. Enough said!
8. Korres Pomegranate Mattifying Primer- I truly think this has stopped my skin from becoming a grease-ball in an hour. No, it doesn't minimize my pores but it never claimed to, and I am completely okay with that. I'd honestly rather have a matte face! I have another tube en route as I type. HG product.

1. Sigma Beauty Cleansing & Polishing Tool- This is great for exfoliating. It has three different heads and is comparable to the Clarisonic [In my opinion]. I love it so much!
2. CoverGirl Queen Collection Lasting Matte Pressed Powder- This is another product that helps me when I need to touch up. It's really great.

*WHEW*!!! Thanks for sticking with me throughout this long post!! What has been your number one must have lately?! Thanks so much for reading!

Wet N Wild Haul!!! +FOTD

Hey Guys!!
I recently got the 6 pan palettes from Wet N Wild and I'm so excited! They're being discontinued, unfortunately, but if you have a Rite Aid nearby they might be 75% off so run! On to the haul:

I was also able to pick up some Mega Last lipsticks that were 40% off at Rite Aid this past week. [I got some of the new Spring colors a couple of weeks ago, you can see swatches here]

The only lipstick that looks more true to color in the picture above than the lip swatches, is Mocha-licious.

Again, Mocha-licious is looking slightly more orange in the picture than in person.

Ravin' Raisin is more like the hand swatch.

I really think I'm starting to like lipsticks now! Do you have any of the Mega Last lipsticks?






I also did a simple look with the Vanity palette and the Ravin' Raisin lipstick.

*Whew!* Thanks so much for reading!!  What are the latest things you've hauled?
