Wet'n'Wild Color Icon blush in Pearlescent Pink

I've been wanting to try this blush for such a long time, but when it was on sale, I knew I just had to get it.

 shade name
 blush in the pan.  I've edited this a bit to get it closer to the actual shade.
an inaccurate finger swatch (colorwise, but good for showing off the smooth texture
arm swatch!

Different angle, you can see the sparkle better.
I love this shade!  It's easy to build up the color (you don't want to put on a lot at a time, but it's possible to-it's really pigmented.)  It's got a little bit of gold glitter in it, but not enough that you look covered in glitter.  If you want a really cheap blush in a pretty color, definitely check this out!
If you've come to this post/blog through my youtube channel, please comment on the video that you came from telling me what you think!

Wet'n'Wild Natural Wear Lip Shimmer in Berry

Oh so pretty, I would say this is my lips but better, in an uber natural way...
 the one thing I hate is that the shade name is only on the wrapping...sigh.
 cute packaging...
 comparison to a wet'n'wild lipstick
 at first glance, I thought this would not be shimmery.  (Another shade I own, spice, is not shimmery.)
 But now, you can sort of see the shimmer in the swatch
 it's more prominant in this pic
and on the lip swatch.

Oh, glorious, sheer goodness.  This is soo pretty :)   I would also say that this product defies categorization.  berry is sheer like a tinted lip balm, both berry and spice have a consistancy that isn't lip balm or quite lipstick either.  But spice is fairly opaque.  grr...
ps: here is a comparison swatch of berry and spice
as you can see, berry has more shimmer!



Wet'n'Wild Lipstick in Breeze

This might now be my favorite Wet'n'Wild lipstick...but you know, I say that every time I get a new one.

I love it! It's very wearable as it is slightly sheer.  It adds just enough color and isn't drying.  And at $1 (and that's when it isn't even on sale) this is awesome!

Wet'n'Wild Color Icon Trios in Silent Treatment and I'm Getting Sunburned

I'm gonna let these speak for themselves.

These are awesome!  Very pigmented and smooth.  Silent treatment's top shade (pinky cream?)  is satin/shimmer as is the bottom shade (cool toned taupe), while the middle shade (mystery color, see below) is a satin/matte with plenty of glitter.  I'm getting sunburned has a pink frost, matte with sparkles, and a metallic/sparkle/super-awesome-finish-that-I-have-never-seen-anything-like-it gold.  It's just really cool.  These palettes retail for $2.99.
ps. While swatching silent treatment, I couldn't tell if the middle shade was brown or black.  So I swatched it with other colors (from other wet'n'wild color icon palettes) for reference.  The top shade is the one in question, the shade on the left is the matte brown from the Vanity palette, the second is the matte black from the Greed palette, and the last is from I'm Getting Sunburned.  My verdict: black brown.


Wet'n'Wild Color Icon Pencil in Purple

This is from the new 2011 line, as were the copper and silver pencils.
Check it out!



Aaaand....gorgeous!  The eyeliner is creamy, smooth, and pigmented.  Gorgeous.

2011 Wet'n'Wild Shimmer Eyeliner Pencils

Hey :)  I purchased several products from Wet'n'Wild yesterday (50% off until Saturday at Walgreens!) and I will be posting all of them in seperate posts by type.  These are the shimmer eyeliner pencils, in the colors copper and silver:

 the pencils themselves are about 2/3 the size of a normal Wet'n'Wild color icon pencil

As you can see, these are wonderfully pigmented-these swatches only took one swipe, maybe two.  They are creamy, smooth, and longlasting. (I've had some of the copper color on my eyes for at least six hours, and it's still going strong.)  Silver is mostly shimmer, and if you look closely, you can find a bit of sparkle.  Copper is shimmery with a bit of gold sparkle.  (Disregard the purple, I'm doing a post on this next)
Definitely try these out, they are only 99 cents, or you can catch them on sale for 49 cents.

NYX Round Lipglosses in Doll Pink and Mauve

Hello there.  Look at these cute glosses :)
 NYX round lip glosses in doll pink and mauve
Do you want to see swatches?  Here ya go!
 doll pink (left) mauve (right)
Doll Pink is a lovely blue pink (My camera actually picked up the slight blue shimmer to it!  Click the pictures to enlarge them and see it better)  Mauve is a pretty pinky-peachy nude/my lips but better.  Both are pretty much creme finish.
And here they are on my lips!

 Doll Pink looks rather blue here! (it's not quite as blue in real life)  But once it fades after a while, it looks quite pretty. 
mauve is just...soo...gorgeous.
Overall I love these.  They don't last too long, but hey what do you expect from a gloss that isn't sticky? (not sticky...I love it!)  They feel smooth on my lips and don't dry them out.  Some people have said they don't like the scent (kind of starburst orange, but not as yummy) but it dissapears right after I put it on.  Great gloss!
ps.  This is no longer available from the nyx website, but you can definitely buy it online and you might find it in a store near you.
