your steffles

Wet N’ Wild has done it again. They just came out with 3 limited edition Color Icon bronzers and I was lucky enough to find them at my local CVS for $4.19 each. I only picked up Don’t Be Shellfish and Me Shell My Belle. The third one is called Shell-A-Brate Good Times, but it’s a little too dark for my skin tone so I would never be able to pull it off.

Don’t Be Shellfish has a beautiful light pink (champagne) shimmery color with a light brown with shimmer as well. Out of the 2 that I bought, this is one is my favorite. 

In my swatch, from left to right, I have both colors blended together and then alone.

When blended it makes a very beautiful sun kissed glow which is going to be perfect for Summer.

Me Shelle My Belle has a pale matte pink and a very light matte brown.

I did my swatch here the same as the last one. I think I blended more pink than brown in my left swatch, it almost looks more like a blush. It still looks great as a matte bronzer because it has that subtle rosy pink to it.

Wet N’ Wild’s Bite The Bullet & Party of Five Glitters

Nails of the Week: Wet N’ Wild’s I Red A Good Book and Nicole by OPI Kardashian Kolors in Disco Dolls

• Naked 2 Palette by Urban Decay - I felt like I was neglecting this palette so I’ve been trying to use it more often. I have a few favorite shades, like YDK, Busted, Pistol and Blackout. Overall though, it’s a really great palette. The shades in this palette are more cool colors, while the Naked Palette has warm colors. So it’s nice to mix it up every now and then.
• NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in Barcelona- I absolutely LOVE this foundation. It works perfectly with my dry skin. It also provides really great coverage and I don’t have to use too much. I bought a pump for it and I need one-two pumps for my whole face. I wear it throughout my entire 9 hour work day and by the end of the day it still looks great, and it doesn’t make my skin feel greasy.
• Wet N’ Wild Megalast Nail Polish in Tropicalia - I have been wearing this color on my nails for a good 2 weeks because I just love it so much. It’s a bright pink-coral and it’s very flattering with my skin tone.
• Lush Celestial Facial Moisturizer - I’ve been looking for a good nighttime moisturizer for my dry skin and this is the one that Flor recommended to me. This stuff is amazing! I love everything about it. I’ve been using it every night since I got it and it has done wonders for my skin. When I wake up in the morning, my skin has the perfect amount of moisture and it also looks brighter. It also smells just like almond milk.
• Bare Minerals Oil-Control Primer - I was skeptical at first when the lady at Sephora gave me this free sample because my skin isn’t oily, and I think the only reason why she thought my skin was oily was because I had put on my morning moisturizer just minutes before I got to the store, haha. However, I really like that when I use this it keeps my skin looking very matte throughout the day and I only use a little bit each time.

I hope you enjoyed my April Favorites and I can’t wait to find out what yours were :)

Got all the colors I wanted :) from left to right: On A Trip, Through The Grapvine, Candy-Licious, Tropicalia, and I Need A Refresh-Mint.

• Dove Hair Therapy Dry Shampoo - This stuff is amazing. It smells great and it helps make my blowout last longer. I really like wearing my hair straight but my blowout only lasts for 2 days max. With this stuff, I can stretch it another day or two by spraying a little bit on my roots and blowdrying my hair for a few mins.
• China Glaze (Hunger Games) Nail Polish in Fast Track - I LOVE this color. It’s a soft beige color with gold shimmer in it and it is beautiful. I wore this color on my nails for a really long time.
• elf Blush in Twinkle Pink - This is the one blush that I’ve been using the most this month. It’s a soft pink with gold glitter in it.
• Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Rosy Nude - I have been wearing this every single day since I got it. It’s the perfect nude for my skin tone and I like that there’s a subtle pinkness (rosy) to it.
• Hard Candy Glamoflauge Concealer in Medium - By far, the best concealer I have ever used. I have only tried 3 concealers, but I really like this one. It does a great job of hiding my acne scars.
• NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk - I use a little bit of this on my waterline to make my eyes look bigger and I’ve noticed a big difference, in a good way.
• Wet N’ Wild Color Icon Trio in Walking on Eggshells - I could go several days just using my Naked Palette, but whenever I go for this trio my boyfriend actually takes the time to tell me how nice it looks. AMAZING.
• China Glaze Nail Polish in Aquadelic - I’m actaully wearing this color right now on my toes and it’s such a cute color for spring. Loving it.

I hope you enjoyed my March Favorites!

My new nail polishes from Wet N’ Wild

I got these a few weeks ago and I forgot to post a pic.

I keep the products that I use the most on top of my Vanity. My foundation, powder, brushes, blush, eyeliner, mascara, the lip butters I use the most, etc.

Then I keep the stuff that doesn’t fit on top of my Vanity in drawers underneath my table.

Since my Naked Palettes don’t fit inside my drawers I keep them on top, next to my box of makeup remover towelettes.

In the first drawer, I have my elf blushes and gel liners, L’oreal Infallible eyshadows and my Urban Decay Ammo eyeshadow palette. In the second, I have all my Maybelline Cream Tattoos and the shadow applicators I use to apply them.

In the third drawer, I have all my lipsticks and lip butters. The fourth drawer has all my 8 pan Wet N’ Wild palettes, the baked palettes with the eyeliner pencils that came with them, a few single eyeshadows and my NYX glitter palette. The fifth drawer has all my Wet N’ Wild Trios and the last drawer has all my extra lip glosses and faux lashes.

“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.”

Petal Pusher:

This palette has a lot of gorgeous colors. From a soft light pink, soft dark reds, light and dark shades of purple, to a soft shimmery black. There are so many possibilities when it comes to this palette.

Blue Had Me At Hello:

These blues are gorgeous! This palette works so well for a soft and subtle everyday look as well as a dark and sexy night time look.

Comfort Zone: 

I’m a big fan of dark greens and neutrals so this palette was a must. It really is in my “comfort zone” of colors. 

What I love most about all of these is that you can get so many different looks. It ranges from a Sweet look to Flirty, and then Dramatic to Wild. It all depends on how many of the colors you use. For $4.99 for each very affordable. Another job well done by Wet N’ Wild.

Once I heard about these, I had to have them ALL. I love that they come as a trio because it takes the guess work out of knowing what colors go together. For someone like me, it really helps.

Walking On Eggshells:

Browbone: Shimmery beige 

Crease: Soft matte brown

Eyelid: Pink-ish champagne color with shimmer

This is my go to palette for a natural, casual everyday makeup look. I love it.

Sweet As Candy:

Browbone: Really light (almost white) beige with shimmer

Crease: Light matte brown

Eyelid: Shimmery soft pink

I love to use this when I want to get a more romantic, rosy look. The pink is very soft and subtle, great pigmentation.

I’m Getting Sunburned:

Browbone: Bright shimmery pink

Crease: Dark shimmery brown

Eyelid: Bold shimmery gold

This palette is great to wear for a night time look because the colors are very bold. However, it’s still neutral so I like to pair it with a bright and fun lip, like Revlon Lip Butter in Lollipop :)

Don’t Steal My Thunder:

Browbone: Soft matte white

Crease: Matte black

Eyelid: Metallic silver

This one is also great to wear at night, especially for special occasions, like a Holiday party. The silver is gorgeous and I like that with the black it makes it easy to create a smokey eye look.

Silent Treatment:

Browbone: Soft matte light pink

Crease: Dark brown with gold glitter

Eyelid: Gray Lavendar with shimmer

One of my favs, this trio is great. I love how it’s neutral and dark.

On Cloud Nine:

Browbone: Shimmery light blue

Crease: Dark matte brown

Eyelid: Shimmery blue gray

The shimmery blue gray eyelid color is beautiful and it looks great with the matte dark brown in the crease.

Spoiled Brat:

Browbone: Shimmery silver

Crease: Shimmery black

Eyelid: Bright hot pink

The bright pink color is truly amazing!

Cool As Cucumber:

Browbone: Soft light matte green

Crease: Shimmery dark purple

Eyelid: Shimmery dark green

I LOVE the dark green shade from this trio, and it also combines my two favorite colors into one eye look, amazing.

Knock On Wood:

Browbone: Shimmery nude brown

Crease: Medium dark shimmery brown

Eyelid: Soft shimmery burgundy

I love this palette because it’s bold while still being neutral.

I Dream of Greenie:

Browbone: Frosty light green 

Crease: Shimmery green

Eyelid: Bright shimmery lime green

Since the colors in this trio are so bold and bright, I don’t really wear it. But I definitely would maybe in the summertime of even in the spring because it’s very playful and fresh.

I’m Feeling Retro:

Browbone: Frosty shimmery white

Crease: Metallic bright blue with shimmer

Eyelid: Metallic dark fuchsia 

This trio is perfect for night time occasions, like New Year’s Eve for example. It’s so fun and bold.

I Got Good Jeans:

Browbone: Frosty light shimmery blue

Crease: Metallic dark blue

Eyelid: Bright bold gold

Also a great trio for night because the colors are so bright and bold.

;)

I wanted to do a proper review on these eyeshadows as well as provide some swatches, now that I’ve had some time to play with them.

Fly Me to the Moon:

Browbone: Frosty sheer matte white

Crease: Matte black with silver glitter

Eyelid: Bright satin blue

The blue shade in this trio is an amazing find. I absolutely love it. To get the true shade you have to pack on a lot of it though, but it’s easy to build on top of it. The matte black is super pigmented so I have to be vary careful not to apply took much of it. And the white is very sheer and matte to balance out the glitter in the black. Overall, amazing trio.

Bright Idea:

Browbone: Sunny yellow with shimmer

Crease: Lime green with shimmer

Eyelid: Bright pink with shimmer

These colors are really bright and extremely pigmented. They apply very smoothly. I love to play with color so I really like this trio.

Earth Looks Small From Down Here:

Browbone: Gold shimmer with an olive tone

Crease: Shimmery navy blue with glitter

Eyelid: Bright green with shimmer

The blue shade is this trio can be found in other Wet N’ Wild palettes but the gold and green are truly unique.

Enter A New Realm:

Browbone: Metallic silver

Crease: Matte black

Eyelid: Matte bright red

It’s really hard to find a true red eyeshadow so I’m glad that I got a hold of this trio. Amazing pigmentation.

Dancing In The Clouds:

Browbone: Shimmery champagne

Crease: Matte bright purple

Eyelid: Shimmery copper 

This one is my FAVORITE out of all of them (that I own) Purple is my favorite color and this is definitely wearable for everyday. It takes a few tries to fully get the purple to really show up in my crease but once I do it looks really great.

Overall Wet N’ Wild has done an amazing job with this collection, they put together colors that I wouldn’t have known otherwise to work so well together and for the cost ($2.99 each) it’s totally affordable and you get so much for the price.

I call this the Makeup Collection for Newbies

I like to keep my day time look very neutral but still girly. My go to eyeshadow palette is Walking on Eggshells by Wet N’ Wild, because it’s neutral with a little bit of pink. I also use Maybelline’s Dream Bouncy Blush in Pink Plum to get a natural rosy flush on my cheeks. Then I top it off with Revlon’s Colorburst Lip Butter in Peach Parfait.

Small beauty haul ;)
