Wet n Wild Spree!

Last week I stopped at the drugstore for batteries and walked out with a bunch of WnW!  I must say, I am impressed with the way WnW has improved their products.  Here is what I got:



And now in more detail:



 These pencils are nice and creamy, but I noticed that Techno is very translucent and when I wore Distress in ran everywhere.  Maybe using primer underneath would help set it.









The eyeshadows had great pigmentation which totally surprised me.  I decided to wear the "I'm Feeling Retro" pallet the other day was shocked when it stayed through the night and even into the morning.



What are your thoughts on Wet N Wild's pallets and pencils?

No work today!  And since there is no work, I had time to take photos!!  I'm still trying to get use to the camera.  I've always used a point and shoot... which is fine... but Ling has a pretty dope camera that I'm having fun figuring out.  Its a Canon T2i.  I never knew I was interested in photography until playing with it!  Anyway, back to the make up.  I'm wearing a hot pink shirt today and I have purple hi-lights in my hair, so I wanted to do a muted green look.  So I grabbed my board (photos coming soon) of About Face pigments in green and got started.  (Note:  About Face Cosmetics has been discontinued.)  I've been sticking to purples and just using eyeliner lately, so I had a lot of fun playing around and blending colors up.  I did a pretty awesome look on Saturday night for the Linkin Park concert, but totally spaced on taking pictures.  I used purples, blacks and glitter!!... my eyes wouldn't stop watering though.  Okay, I keep getting carried away.  Here is my look today:

A New Start

Okay, so my room is halfway done.  I just need to hang some stuff on the walls and move all my makeup in!  But that will have to wait for another day.  I decided to take advantage of having my little makeup room today.  I stopped at Ulta on my way home from work this afternoon after discovering that my black eyeliner is almost out *gasp*!  I've had my eye on the Urban Decay 15th anniversary 24/7 eyeliners... but come on... $92?!  I grabbed the eyeliner set just in case but decided to shop around and see if I could get more for my money.  Guess what?... I did!!  Sorry UD!  So without further ado... here is my haul and swatches.




They have a deal going on right now... if you spend $17.50 on Ulta brand products, you get a cool kit for free!  They had three choices.  I chose this once since it was a little more colorful!

Here's what was in my kit:


Eyeshadow Quad 1: Truffle, Platinum, Trendsetter, and Granite



Eyeshadow Quad 2: Gold Leaf, Love, Plum Noir, and Turquoise


Left to Right: Halo Highlight, Parisian Pout Lipstick, Bellini and Starlet Lipglosses, and Rose Lipliner

I didn't swatch the eyeliners that came with is since there were just black and brown.  It also came with a teal nail polish, a cute mirror, mascara and some crappy little brushes that my puppy ran off with.

Speaking of my puppy...

My wonderful boyfriend got her for me for our anniversary/Christmas present.  Her name is Gidget Love and she's a 6 month old Yorkie.  Such a good girl!!  She was trying to help me while I was taking pictures tonight.  She looks a little mangie since she rolled around in the dirt as soon as I gave her a bath the other day plus she needs to go to the groomer desperately bad.

Okay, now onto the other things I purchased:















That would be Ling's hand.  I was having problems... the button to take the picture is on the right side of the camera and I'm left handed... so I had to swatch with my right hand so I could take pictures of my left hand.  I couldn't do what I wanted... so he let me draw on him.  Like I said... wonderful bf!


That would be a blush in Heartbreaker (the same color that came in the kit... I was a little bummed that I have two now.) and an eyeshadow in Bone.

And that is it.  I had fun today.  I haven't gone makeup shopping in awhile and it was fun to work on this blog again.  Stay tuned for more!!
