I have been collecting

Picture heavy

Hello lovelies,

It's been a while since I posted on my blog. I am so sorry for the lack of post again. I will get back to putting out some post for you and getting to all the post I promise.
So I have been purchasing some goodies from drugstore to MAC Venomous Villains to Sephora
Let's get right into it.



Drugstore
This isn't my full drugstore haul has I had purchase some Wet N Wild cosmetics when Kmart had a week where it was BOGOF. Let's just say I didn't hold back. But that will be another post at another time. Anyways I want to share with you some new products from Wet N Wild but under the Fantasy Makers label. These specific label products always come out when it's near to Halloween. Heres are pictures of the items and swatches.

MAC Venomous Villains


From the MAC VV collection I had my eyes on 2 things: Toxic Tale l/s & The Dark Magic mineralized e/s. I will be going back for Bite of An Apple blush. I already own Violetta l/s so I didn't need it from the collection. The red l/s and the dark burgundy l/s was dupeable from my stash so I didn't get them. The other eyeshadows didn't capture my attention or wooed me.

40 Miss Rose Wet Eyeshadow Palette

Hello lovelies,

I hope everyone had a super awesome Labor Day Weekend. I spent time with family and friends which may be a norm for me nowadays. My life is particularly 100% entitled to my daughter so clubbing or party scene pretty much don't excite me anymore.


I wanted to share with you all a buy which I am actually excited about. I love this 40 wet eyeshadow palette. If you know me I love palettes in general, esp if they contains super bright colors  or just rainbow colors. I purchased this palette from Ebay.




Pros
-Reasonable price
-Super pigmented colors
-Wide variety of colors
-The texture is similar to pigments: soft
-Useful without bases/primer
-Easy to blend
-It does have that "wet" (foiled) effect to them

Cons
-Eye shadows are soft in texture which allows for fallout
-All shimmers, no matte colors


*Foiled - applying eye shadows wet using water, MAC fix+ or Visine, this allows for the eyeshadow to appear more pigmented and smooth.



Swatches
(in column/vertical format)
No base/primer

Column 2












Column 3












Column 4

Column 7














Column 8











If you would like to purchase this palette, type in 40 wet eyeshadow palette on Ebay.com and you will definitely find it. There are 2 types of this palette. This particular palette is namely the Type B Miss Rose 40 wet eyeshadow palette.


Look out for upcoming looks using his palette.


Be Fabulous!!
