A Few Wet n Wild Goodies

I had a spur of the moment shopping trip with my oldest son today. So I decided to swing by Walgreens and check out the Wet N Wild sale I had heard about. Much to my dismay I had swung by late in the game and lost out on what I'm sure was some fantastic goodies.  While trekking my eight year old through the makeup isle where he would shake his head at the many seemingly torturous items, I did find some pretty sweet goodies to add to my ever growing collection. Thought I'd lay out what I got in a quick over lay before giving you the detailed low down about each product this week.

I happened across a meglast polish & top coat set. Gorgeous color- I Red a Good Book.


Then a fabulous set of Color Icon lip liner and the ever loverly Purty Persimmon matte lip stick. This I think I am anticipating using more than any other!



And I grabbed two Color Icon Shimmer eyeliners in Copper and Black. In the picture below you can see a quick swatch of these gorgeous liners.

Here's a quick swatch of Purty Persimmon. Haha please excuse the misspelling in the picture. It's late!








And finally here is a quick, if somewhat sloppy, swatch of I Red a Good Book. Luscious red!


I saw a few of the Fergie Collection but nothing I REALLY wanted was in stock. I'm anxious to try the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I know it will probably be kind of a pain but I cant't help but be drawn to it!

What do you all think? Like my goodies? what great Wet N Wild goodies have you found lately?  Comment and let me know!

Oh and dont forget to check back in this week for more details about each goodie!

Let's Mix it Up! Nail Polish Fun.

I adore playing with polish. Whether it be stamping, mixing polishes, embellishments, or whichever.
So this weekend mani I decided to dabble mixing some colors. I used 2 fave Wet N Wild fast dry polishes, Hannah Pinktana & Sage In The City, along with my latest Sinful Colors, Love Nails.
HANNAH PINKTANA

SAGE IN THE CITY
LOVE NAILS
I started with three lovely coats of Hannah Pinktana & gave it some time to dry. About a minute sufficed.


3 COATS
Then removing 90% of the polish from the brush I dabbed Sage In The City spiratically over my nails.

A little dab here, a little dab there.

Giving that layer 60 seconds, I then used the same process to apply Love Nails.
All finished!
Finish with a top coat & viola'! A spiffy effect. I really like the turn out. What do y'all think?
What's one of your fave ways to glam up your nails??

New Wet N Wild Nail Color To Show off!

      Got a new Wet N Wild nail polish today!  Permission To Proceed from the Spoiled line- a CVS exclusive. Spoiled is one of my absolute favorite nail polish lines ever. Variety with such intensity.
pre-clean up after 3 coats
Its such a deep full green that screams summer to me.  Very reminiscent of the lush green grass gets after rain in the summer and of fresh ripe watermelon. This would be an excellent pop of color in any summer wardrobe. Its a rather opaque color and will take a few coats to achieve a deep color.

pre-clean up after 3 coats.
Besides awesome colors and a fantastic price ($1.99), the brushes in this line are phenomenal. The bristles are sturdy and fairly thick. The brush is wide enough to cover my entire nail in one swoop. Oh yes, fabulous coverage! I wish all polishes came with this brush!
As you can see the brush fully covers my nail.

I can't wait to make my way through all the colors of the Spoiled nail polish line! So stay tuned to see what other colors I pick!




Have you tried any of the Spoiled line? What colors are your fave? Any to suggest? Comment below & let me know what you think!

Wet N Wild New Eyeshadow Trio- "I'm Getting Sunburned" Review

    Found a gorgeous new eyeshadow trio from Wet n Wild at my local CVS the other day! They had some great new shades to choose from but "I'm Getting Sunburned" was my pick out of them. The colors suit my hazel eyes to a "t"!


   Something else fun about the eyeshadow (besides the colors) was the little tutorial on the back and the word etched in the powder for where it goes!
   I used the tutorial as a general guide but finished it out the way I like my eyes. I started the whole process with the brow bone color. It was a pretty slightly rosy, slightly lavender color with a slight shimmer. I used this for a base over my entire eye.
This is the brow bone color used as an all over base.
The color glided on smoothly and was just as pretty on as in the case. 
    Next for the crease I did it quite a bit lighter than what the eyeshadow for the crease is. It's a very rich chocolate eyeshadow. I like deep colors but not extremely deep. Plus I was doing this eye for day time running. I swiped it on lightly and blended it in to the outer color.
This is the base plus crease.
     Next I added the glimmery gold lid eyeshadow. This one I liked paticularly well. It had just enough shimmer to catch the light but not over powering. I used this eyeshadow just on my lower lid.
All three shades for the complete look.
   Finally I added a couple coats of mascara and was good to go!
Final look.
  The shadow didn't crease for my whole trip! The color stayed vibrant and in place. I love that the colors not only go well together but can be worn alone as well. Another key thing for me is ease of removal and all 3 colors were easy to fully remove before I hit the hay that night. 
 I am definitely happy with my new eyeshadow trio! But I've come to expect nothing less from Wet n Wild!
