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.

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

wet'n'wild goldigger eye shadow single

This eyeshadow came in a little set- one eyeshadow, one eyeliner.  Two for the price of one!  I've seen these sets around before, so once I saw a color I liked, I purchased.  Here's some pics and my impressions:

ingredients, click to enlarge





The eyeliner is quite pigmented.  It applies smoothly without tugging.  It wears about as well as any w'n'w eyeliner- quite well, with a bit of smudging by the end of the day.






The eyeshadow is quite powdery.  I swatched it the same as I would any eyeshadow, and this is the amount of powder that came up.  


Applied directly to my arm, it's still quite powdery


 But when blended, it looks quite nice!


This eyeshadow is pigmented enough to show up well on the eyes.  It's not as bright a gold as I like, but that's nothing against the product itself.  It is quite powdery, so you'd have to be careful about fall out.  For only $2, I'd say it's worth a try.  (My other favorites from this line include Nutty and Penny, a warm taupe and a copper shade)  Thanks for reading!

wet'n'wild mega last lipstick: smokin' hot pink (905D)

Let me start by saying I LOVE this.  I've tried one mega last lipstick before this, and I hated it.  Reason number one: my lips were chapped.  Reason number two: It was a terrible color on me.  It totally put me off of the lipstick for a while, because I thought they would all be as terrible.  I am so glad this color proved me wrong...right after I bought this color, I had to go back and get two more.  I love those too, and I'll post reviews of them soon!

This shade is called "smokin' hot pink," or 905D.  My one and only gripe is that the name is ONLY on the plastic wrapping that you take off to open the product.  So if I don't remember a few weeks from now what the shade name is, that's going to be a bit of a problem.  (Fortunately I have this blog to keep track of things for me...I've had to refer back to several of my old posts to remember the names of different products.)  But the things I love far outweigh this problem:  You can wear it as a stain (by lightly patting it on) or as a full blown lipstick (by swiping it on).  As a stain it is matte, and as a lipstick it has a little more of a sheen, but that dries down.  These lipsticks have no shimmer at all, which I love.  They aren't really drying as long as I wear a little lip balm with them.  They do last quite a while as well.  I only have to reapply it twice at school, and that's after I've eaten something.  Although sometimes I reapply more often just because I love applying lipstick...  And the best part is that the lipstick is only $2!

Now for the pictures:

It's a little patchy on my hand, but on smooth lips that isn't a problem.

heavily (but not too heavily) applied

I just adore this shade!  It's such a pretty pinky shade that's perfect for spring.  It's actually one of those colors that brightens your whole face, so that's pretty great.  

I hope this was helpful :)
