PRODUCT of the Week!

Hello lovelies,

Do you love glitters? Do you use glitters eyeliners in your makeup looks?
Well these items are becoming a favorite of mines when I do FOTD. I wasn't a fan of of glitters before but lately it has been growing on me since I did my glitter eye birthday look which everyone liked. From then on I pulled out my glitter items and decided I wanted to give them a go again. Some being glitter eyeliners from Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers Collection which usually are being showcased near Halloween time.

Here are a few glitter eyeliners I own and love and believe me you don't have to break wallet in purchasing these.






All three pictures are swatches in the same order: 
L-R: Kleancolor glitter liners: Black, Midnight Blue, Gold, Lilac --- Ruby Kisses iBling-Glitz n Black --- Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers glitter eyeliners: Secrecy, Magical, Mystical



If you don't own any glitter eyeliners you can make your own by using cosmetics glitter and some glitter glue using a stiff flat eyeliner brush to apply as an eyeliner glitter paste to the eyelids.


To purchase the Kleancolor and Ruby Kisses glitter eyeliner check you local beauty supplies. Price: $1.00 - $2.99
As for the Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers glitter eyeliners they are being sold around the Halloween time period and found wherever Wet n Wild products are being sold. Price: $1.99

SWATCHES: Wet n Wild Silk Finish Lipsticks

Hello lovelies,


I know I didn't post a product of the week for last week but I was lost on time and have been procrastinating on this particular post. I am a major fan of Wet n Wild cosmetics and being a lipstick lover couple of my first choices in trying out bright bold colors on my lips were these very same lipsticks.
The Wet n Wild Silk Finish Lipsticks are creamy, somewhat long lasting (3hrs or less) and very nice color payoff. However, the main focus is the cost of these amazing lipsticks which are $0.99 in drugstores. I absolutely recommend these lipsticks to my clients when they want to try bold colors and don't want to spend a lot on testing out colors which suits them.



I have swatched all the colors that I have in my collection and all the colors which the website offers in this particular type of lipsticks. Some of these lipsticks are either cream or frost textures. Check it out!

L-R: 502A-Dark Pink Frost, 525A-Light Berry Frost, 506B-Mink Brown, 508A-Black Orchid, 509A-Cinammon, 510A-Light Beige Frost
