Wet n Wild Limited Edition Spring 2014 8 Pan Palette in Walking the Red Carpet

 After an agonizing drive around town in search for the limited edition Wet n Wild walking the red carpet 8 pan palette from their new spring collection I finally found it ( 5 drugstores later) for around $4.99 at Walgreens. Needless to say I was beyond excited and I got there just in time because they only had 1 left so I had to snatch it up.


                                      Wet n Wild, Walking the Red Carpet Swatches 

(top to bottom)
Browbone shade~ A pale pink matte that on my skin looks a little peachy/white
Eyelid shade~ A beige semi matte
Crease shade~ A warm taupe with a satin finish
Definer shade~ A dark brown matte with tiny traces of bronze glitter ( once used the glitter appears to be on the surface and the underlying color looks more of a matte dark brown)

(top to bottom)
Browbone shade~ A frosty white
Eyelid shade~ A gold shimmer with gold sparkle flecks. This color can be somewhat sheer. I have found that using your finger and packing this color onto your lid helps intensify the gold.
Crease shade~ A very pretty copper/bronze shimmer
Definer shade~ A semi matte milk chocolate brown with gold sparkle.

Once again Wet n Wild has hit the mark with the wonderful pigmentation on these shadows. Like I stated earlier the gold shade is somewhat sheer but it can be built up to make a beautiful golden glow on the eyelids. All of the shades in the Walking the Red Carpet palette are super smooth and blend easily. I have a feeling, I am going to be using this palette a lot this summer. I mean, who doesn't want to look like a bronze goddess all summer long? Right? :)

Wet n Wild Fergie Metrpolitan Nights Palette Swatches

As I was walking around Walgreens, I spotted the Wet in Wild Fergie makeup display that everyone has been talking about the past few weeks. So, of course I had to see what all the fuss was about. I ended up purchasing an eyeshadow palette.

The gold color in this really stood out to me so I had to have it! 

The colors do not have names so Ill try to describe what I think the colors look like,

from left to right;

~A shimmery pearl white ( this feels so smooth and velvety as I was swatching)

~24 caret gold with gold glitter

~Matte black with gold glitter

~A very unique color, it looks to me like its a shimmer mix of light olive green and gold (also very smooth and velvety) What do you think the color looks like?

~Matte Black

Here is an everyday look I did using this palette. 

MAC Painterly Paintpot was used for base.

Application

I had to reapply the olive gold shade to my lids a few times because the color would not adhere to my lids for some reason. That surprised me since the texture felt so smooth. I ended up using my finger and tapping it on my lids. Maybe I need new brushes or something. I used the black with gold glitter as the outer V color and most of the gold glitter fell off as if the glitter was only on the surface of the shadow but, this color was easy to blend. As for the actual gold color that made me purchase this palette it is very pretty. I decided to use it as a pop of color on the lower lash line. There was some fall out and I did have to reapply it a few times to make the color more vibrant as I did not have a gold base to match this color.  I'm thinking the new gold maybelline 24 hr color tattoo would make a great base for this shadow.

Staying Power

I wore this look for about 8 hours at work and it held up pretty good, I did notice a little fading from the olive gold color but I expected that since it had trouble sticking to my lids in the first place.

Remarks

I think once I play with it a few more times I will figure out exactly how to get these shadows to stick to my lids better. Although the colors are pretty, I don't see myself running off to buy another palette anytime soon.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE WET N WILD FERGIE PALETTES?

Nail of the day

 Today's nail color is by Wet and Wild Spoiled collection in the color Paying with
Platinum. It is a really cool two toned color. It has a gray base and as the light catches this polish it can turn a gray/pink hue or a gray/green hue.



On the top picture the polish is more pink, while on the bottom picture its more green, all by moving my fingers around and the light catching it differently.




Now I do have another polish by this brand (its bright green) and the brush shed like crazy!!! This one seems to be fine. The brush is a little different than your standard polish brush, the ends are shaped more rounded and the tip sticks up rather than one flat square shape so you can get into the corners of your nail better.



This polish does last for a few days (with my hands in water all the time, getting 2 or 3 days of lasting power is awesome) and it only costs around $1.99-$2.99 USD so its not going to break your wallet! :) My only complaints are the brushes might shed, so make sure to look at it really well before purchasing and the smell of this polish is STRONG so don't use it in a tiny bathroom...unless you have the fart fan on (teehee)

These polishes can be found at pretty much anywhere,walmart,CVS,target,walgreens etc...Mine is from cvs(incase you wanted to know) and cost $1.99 USD... This is a polish line sold at  CVS only. I swear I thought Ive seen them elsewhere but apparently not...so oopsy :)
