Wet N Wild is one of my fave drug store companies. The pigmentation and the price point is absolutely insane! I wanted to share a look I did awhile back with their color icon palette in Petal Pusher. Purple is one of my favorite colors to not only use on my eyes, but my clients as well. It’s one of those colors that compliments all skin tones. Whenever I wear purple eyeshadow it really brings out the green in my eyes. The palette comes with 8 colors and its only $5! Many of the colors are dupes for MAC eyeshadows as well. My only complaint is that I wish some of the colors were matte. So if you are on a budget but still want to be fly you should definitely check it out. I also own Comfort Zone, which has more earthtones and Blue Had Me at Hello which has blue colors. Let me know by commenting below if you want me to post a look using those palettes!

Wet N Wild Megalast Liquid Lip Color Review
So I went to Walgreens to get something and of course I just HAD to go to the cosmetics section. This hot pink lipgloss called "Click on my HyperPink" from Wet N Wild caught my eye so I took that baby home with me. Here is what Wet N Wild had to say about this product:
"Intense liquid color with built-in moisturizer provides one-step application for weightless, ultra-conditioning wear that lasts up to 8 hours. ElastiSilk™ formula combines flexible color adhesion with silky-smooth pigments for transfer-proof, even application. Paraben-free formula conditions and moisturizes with vitamin E that helps promote anti-aging, protects the skin's moisture barrier, and balances the lip's natural hydration for a healthy-looking, plump pout all day."
It had a flat double sided doe foot applicator which I don't mind. So when I first applied it I thought this was a lipgloss....but no maam! This is more of a lip cream that dries really, really, really MATTE! Wet n Wild claims that the product is moisturizing but I have to disagree. As the gloss dries it really feels like it is sucking the moisture out of your lips. Also it is VERY sticky! Especially after you eat your lips look really crazy. But these babies are SUPER pigmented which I love!
I have been trying out different ways to make wearing this product more comfortable and so far putting Maybelline's Baby Lips balm on first before applying the lip cream seems to act like a barrier and doesn't make it feel as drying. It also helped with the removal of the product as well. When I put this product on my lips with no type of lip balm this sucker was very difficult to remove off of my lips. Since the balm makes it more moisturizing it made it easier when I wanted to remove it.I really wanted to love this product but unfortunately I don't. Will I still wear it? Yes because I love this neon pink color! It's just something I would only wear for a short period of time and not all day. Would I repurchase? Probably not until the formulation changes. I'm hoping Wet N Wild will see all of the reviews and change the formulation of the product. It is $3 and had $1 off coupon at Walgreens so we can't complain too much. Have you tried this before? What did you think?

Wet N Wild Comfort Zone Palette Review
The Wet N Wild palettes are perfect for my makeup enthusiasts that have issues with working with multiple eyeshadows. These palettes spell it out exactly where to place each color. And guess what? They wont hurt your pockets because they retail at $4.99! Check out the pigmentation of these babies!

These shadows are amazingly pigmented. Comfort Zone colors are great for everyday wear. You really can take your eyes from day to night by just adding the darker colors to turn it into a smokey eye. There are 2 other palettes in the Color Icon collection: Petal Pusher which has purples and Blue Had Me at Hello which are blue colors obviously lol. I have actually owned this palette previously and I loved it. Just one tip though, make sure you don't drop it. I dropped mine and it broke into pieces and I was sad! So as long as you're not clumsy like me it will treat you good. Did I mention these are $5 and you get a total of 8 colors!? This is a no brainer!
