Wet n Wild Haul

A local retail store had a 50% off sale on all Wet N Wild Cosmetics last week.

I was so excited!! I picked up a few things I've been holding off on- so glad I got them at these prices!

Here's my little haul:

From top left to right:
WnW Mega Eyes cream eyeliner, Wet Shine n/p in Hallucinate and Kaleidoscope, Mega Glo Illuminating powders in Catwalk Pink and Strike-a-pose-rose, Color Icon eyeshadow singles in Brulee and Nutty, Cover All concealer in Medium & matte lipstick in Just Peachy.


Swatches:

My favorites are: Mega Glo powder in Strike-a-pose-rose (a smooth & beautiful bronzy rose shade), both Color Icon eyeshadows (very pigmented and blendable) and both nail polishes (love the glitters).

I have yet to try the cream eyeliner and the concealer.

The cream eyeliner looks and sounds promising (from the massive reviews), but the concealer has gotten quite a few negative reviews on MUA and other makeup sites.

Will do an updated post to let you all know how it goes. =)

As always, thanks for reading!

Maybelline Dream Mousse foundations - a review

Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse:
Price tag: ranges from $7-$10 depending on retailer

Description: Creamy & smooth texture.
Shade- 180 Nude Beige (a light-medium warm/ pink toned beige) 
(This shade was a perfect match for my skin. For reference, I wear MAC's NC 25.)

Pros: easy to apply (with a sponge or foundation brush), hydrating (good for normal to dry skin), decent price tag, easy to travel with, medium coverage & dewy finish.

Cons: limited shade selection, no mirror, small amount of product, not suitable for oily skin

Overall I do really like this foundation. I have combo-oily skin (dry around my nose and chin, and oily on my t-zone) and I can make this work. I have to pat off excess shine one to two times throughout the day. I LOVE the finish. The coverage works well for me (on my days where I'm in a rush, I don't even need concealer). I prefer using a wedge or beauty blender-type sponge for application. It is great for when I only have 5-10 mins to spare for foundation.
Do I recommend this product? -Yes

Product Rating: 4/5

Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse:
Price tag: ranges from $7-$10 depending on retailer

Description: Thick whipped/mousse texture.
Shade- Sandy Beige Medium 1 (a medium cool/ yellow toned beige)
(This shade was a tad too tan for me, it would probably suit me in the summer.)

Pros: Pump w/ bottle, pump can twist to close, good amount of product, slightly better shade selection, light-medium coverage

Cons: can be cakey, glass bottle, not suitable for oily skin

I didn't like this foundation as much as the dream smooth mousse. I found it was cakey and didn't leave the same nice finish as the dream smooth. It also made my face shinier at the end of the day. This is a very average foundation.
Do I recommend this product? -No

Rating: 2.5/5
