Blue Smokey Eye Turorial



Step 1:   Apply primer all over the lid.  I used Wet N' Wild's Take On The Day.
Step 2:   Apply a base color.  I used ELF's Jumbo Eyeshadow Stick in Midnight Rendezvous.
Step 3:   Blend that out using your finger.
Step 4:   Apply a brown to the crease.  I used NYC's Sunny Bronzer.
Step 5:   Apply a blue all over the lid.  I used a Wet N' Wild eyeshadow from their LE Holiday Palette.
Step 6:   Blend that into the crease, apply more of the brown shadow to give a gradient effect.
Step 7:   Apply eyeliner to the lower lash line & waterline.  I used UD's 24/7 glide on pencil in Zero.
Step 8:   Smudge the eyeliner on the lower lash line.
Step 9:   Apply blue eyeshadow over the black eyeliner on the lower lash line.  Blend it out.
Step 10: Apply a silver eyeshadow to the inner corner of your eyes.
Step 11: Curl your lashes.
Step 12:  Apply mascara.  I used Neutrogena Healthy Volume.
Step 13: Apply a highlight to your brow bone.  I used Wet N' Wild's Brulee.
Step 14:  Fill in your eyebrows.

And that's it!

Hope you guys enjoyed it.

Wet N' Wild Take On The Day Eyeshadow Primer Review





Today I'm reviewing Wet N' Wild's first eyeshadow primer, which is part of the new Fergie Collection.  I wasn't too interested in this primer when I first saw it, so I actually didn't buy it until about two weeks after I first saw it.  I regret not buying it sooner, because the display had $1 off coupons, when I finally bought it the coupons were gone.  But it's still worth the $4.99 I paid for it.

First lets talk about the packaging, I don't really care for the Fergie Collection packaging.  The colors just seem cheap to me.  I am glad that it is a squeeze tube though, so much product is wasted with primers that have those doe foot applicators.


When you first squeeze it out of the tube it comes out a nude color, and feels a bit like the Smashbox Photo Finish primer, but more watery.  Once you blend it out it is pretty much invisible.  If you use this make sure you let it dry first, or it's kind of icky.  As you can see in the picture above it looks a bit wet once blended, but if you let that dry you should have no problem.


I tested out the primer with Wet N' Wild eyeshadows.  The results are pretty noticeable.  I was so surprised to see the big of a difference with the black eyeshadow.  I know there's a big pigmentation difference between matte and shimmer eyeshadows, especially with Wet N' Wild.  So I used the primer with the Drinking a Glass of Shine pallete.  Swatches are below.


I forgot to swatch these eyeshadows without the primer, but I can guarantee you that there would definitely be a huge difference.  This palette is pretty awesome, but as far as pigmentation goes, not so much.  I'm so glad Wet N' Wild has finally come out with an affordable primer, and even happier to see that it works so good with their eyeshadows.  Other than it being a little runny I have no complaints with this primer, and at $4.99 it is a definite steal.  If you see this at your local drugstore I highly suggest you pick it up!

Wet N' Wild Megalast Liquid Lip Color




I've only tried a few liquid lipsticks, and I think that product is definitely hit or miss.  My favorite are the Covergirl and NYX ones. They don't feel sticky, and dry matte.  I love them.  My least favorite has got to be Revlon's liquid lipstick.  Which really sucks, because I love Revlon.  After trying out the new Wet N' Wild liquid lipsticks I have decided that they are definitely not the worst.



There are 13 shades available, I picked up Rose To The Occasion.  I really wanted Red My Mind, but it was not available.  These can get pretty sticky.  I've noticed that I have to let it completely dry before I put my lips together.  Otherwise it gets pretty gross.  Once they dry I really liked them.  It lasted me the whole night without having to reapply.  I ate and drank and it was still there.  Taking it off though... that really sucked.  I had to scrub it off, like a lot.  My lips hurt so bad afterwards.

As far as packaging goes, I don't really care for the applicator.  It didn't really bother me too much either.  It was just meh.  The color is beautiful though.  Kind of a dusty rose.  No glitter, which I loved.  I noticed that some other ones had glitter in them.  That's not my thing, but if you like that, they had those available.
I didn't notice a scent.  Maybe that's just because I wasn't paying attention.  They do last forever. If you want a long lasting product, this is definitely it.  I think that's one of the things that made them a winner for me, well, ignoring the part where I have to scrub them off at the end of the night.  The price also was a big plus for me.  I got it for $2.99 at K Mart, and it had a $1 off coupon attached.

Will I repurchase these?  Yes, definitely.  I might save them for special occasions, when I really don't want my lipstick to come off.  I don't think I could use them very often, my lips cant go through that much scrubbing so often.
