MINI HAUL: Sephora Friends & Family

Hello beauties,


If you are not aware by now the Sephora Friends & Family "sale" is going on. This year Sephora decided to do it different as compare to last year. With this sale, Sephora decided to send emails to friends & family of Sephora who in-turn share with friends and family, unlike last year where each VIB member got an email with the code. This year code can only be used once. There are a few Beauty bloggers who are sharing the Friends & Family discount online coupon where you enter your email and it gives you a 20% off coupon code. Just google and you pretty much find some bloggers who share this info. Now unto my mini haul.

I only wanted a few things from couple of my favorite brands: Urban Decay and Make Up Forever. I got the UD 24/7 Travel size eyeliner set in Electric & Make Up Forever Aqua cream in #11 (gold color). I also wanted to get the 15th Anniversary palette from UD but when I decided to order, it wasn't in stock.

Make Up Forever Aqua cream #11

Urban Decay 24/7 Travel eyeliner set in Electric:

L-R: Perversion, Ransom, Radium, Woodstock & Junkie

I love the Make Up Forever Aqua cream I choose, I wanted to try them out from seeing numerous reviews and swatches. Hopefully they will be at IMATS Orlando where I want to purchase all the other colors.

The Urban Decay travel set was a great deal and I love the colors, I already own Ransom which I had received from one the book of shadows I have but I love these eyeliners, they are smooth and very longlasting. I need to get more in my stash.



Unfortunately Sephora has the 15th Anniversary palette in stock now, I may get it in the UD F&F sale which a lil birdie informed me of coming very very soon.

What did you purchase from the Sephora Friends & Family sale?

MAC DUPE ALERT ↹ Wet n Wild Baked eye kit!!

Hello Beauties,


If you have viewed my Wet n Wild: Baked eyeshadow haul post, I swatched the Bake Off Contest eye kit and from the kit I saw right off a possible dupe for a MAC mineralized eyeshadow. The MAC mineralized eyeshadow is Sea & Sky. The last colors from the 1st column of the Bake Off Contest kit is a dupe for both shadows in the Sea & Sky eyeshadow duo.

See for yourself

L-R: Wet n Wild baked shadow in Bake Off Contest and MAC Sea & Sky

L-R: Left swatches from the Wet n Wild Bake Off Contest shadows and right swatches are MAC Sea & Sky mineralized eyeshadow

All swatches are done without base/primer

If you don't own the Sea & Sky from MAC , well then  get your hands on Wet n Wild Bake Off Contest to get a very close eyeshadow color for way less than the price.

HAUL: Wet n Wild Beauty Bar: Baked Eyeshadow Collection

Hello Beauties,

Wet n Wild cosmetics has release from the Beauty Bar Collection an array of baked eyeshadows. I absolutely love the look of these from first sight. They have awesome pigmentation and are smooth in texture. Most of the colors are mineralized frost and satin finish.
The only con I have with this collection is the packaging. Why oh why Wet n Wild did you make these beautiful shadows with the most difficult to open packaging??
However these shadows can be used both wet (foiled) and dry and get a pretty color payoff. These baked shadows are limited edition and are exclusively to Walgreens only. They retail for $4.99
If you haven't gotten your hands on them make sure you do when u see them (get them before it's gone).

HAUL: Wet n Wild I ♥ Matte

Hey beauties,


Wet n Wild cosmetics has release it's first ever matte palette from the Coloricon collection. I was super happy about this palette from seeing info about it from NouveauCheap website. Now that I have searched and gotten it, I believe it was somewhat worth it.

I can't do a full review on this palette as I have not done any looks with it. However, the palette contains 8 matte texture colors which features few brights and neutrals. I am a little disappointed from swatching the purple color, it doesn't give that intense color pay-off I was looking for (had to swipe several times to swatch). Apart from that the other colors had intense pigmentation and swatched perfectly.

This palette is exclusive to Walgreens only and is limited edition. It retails for $4.99

If you haven't seen this palette in your local Walgreens, ask your store clerk about it's availability in the store. I do it all the time for drugstore collections.
