wet'n'wild flora and fauna sets

I purchased these LE sets several months ago, so sadly they're no longer available.  However, most of the products within the sets are available separately.  I hope these swatches will help!






 Out of the flora collection, the lip gloss and the blush are available in the permanent line of products.

 Of the fauna collection, the nail polish, lip gloss, and blush are all available in the permanent line.

this swatch just shows the glowyness of the highlight shade...

I hope this post was helpful (even though some of the products are no longer available.)  Thanks for reading!

Jordana: easyshine glossy lip color in sweet strawberry

It's official: the Jordana easyshine glossy lip colors are awesome!  I'm showing off sweet strawberry today.  
Packaging:  The only thing I don't like is that the lip color doesn't swivel all the way down.  Because of that, you can nick off chunks of it with the lid.  However, the product goes fairly quick if you constantly reapply so you don't have to worry about it for long.  The cap stays on well, and the simple design looks nice.

Swiveled all the way out.
Swatches- The top swatch is three swipes, the bottom is one.  It really is just a pretty, sheer strawberry color.  
Lip swatch.  It looks really nice on, although you need to have REALLY smooth and moisturized lips to make it look this good.  If your lips are chapped in the slightest, exfoliate first and use a lip balm underneath.  As you can see, you can build up the color to make it quite bright.

It's not particularly long lasting (it will NOT last through eating...) but for $2, it's pretty great!
Thanks for reading!

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 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.
