Wet n Wild Ice Baby Collection

 

Went to walgreens today and saw the display on a high shelf. They actually had 2 of them. When the lady brought them down to me and i picked up all of them, she's like "you're getting all of them?" lol Like im crazy lol

I found these colors though to be thick and goopy, so i highly recommend thinner. I used Beauty Secrets Thinner from Sallys.

24 Carats is a nice sparkly fall colored glitter. It has gold and orange brown bar glitter.


Back Alley Deals is a Royal Purple Micro glitter and Fuschia glitter.

Believe Me, It's Real is a cerulean blue micro glitter with royal purple round glitter.

Cost is no issue is a turquoise micro glitter with cerulean blue round glitter.

Diamond in the Rough is a black microglitter with holo round glitter.

Give me a price quote is a goldish lime green bar/micro glitter.

It's All in the Cut is lavendar micro glitter with pink round glitter.

Rockin Rubies is a red micro glitter with pink opalescent round glitter

 

Lowdown:

*$2.99 Each

*Walgreens Exclusive

*Limited Edition

*Very Sparkly

*Fast Dry Time

*Opaque for the most part but you will need at least 2 coats for each polish.

*Needs thinner to make less thick and glide on better.

*Whole set will set you back $24 plus tax.

Overall im pretty satisfied and wont be taking any back.

Tinker Bell Make Up Look

I recently got some LA Splash Glitters from a display at Ulta. They had them with the Halloween Stuff. They were buy 2 get 1 free. So got all 3 for $8. So i was playing with one called Sparkling Canary, and came up with this look. It reminds me of tinkerbell and thought it could be used as a tinkerbell eye look or something like that. I hope you like it!!

Items I used for this look:

*Dawn Eye Cosmetics in Golden Glow and Brilliant Spring Green

*Revlon Perle in Black Galaxy

*Revlon Diamond Lust in Celestial Silver

*LA Splash Glitter Splash in Sparkling Canary

*NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk

*Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Zero

*Incolor Fabuliner in Black

*Relon Custom Eyes Mascara in Blackest Black

*Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain in Flame

*MAC Hellow Kitty Blush in Tippy

*I first applied NYX Milk all over my eye lid. I smoothed it out with my finger upto my crease.

*I then applied Golden Glow into the inner half of my lid and inner half of my lower lashline.

*Then Brilliant Spring Green in the other half and other half of my lower lashline.

*Blended

*Then i applied Black Galaxy into the crease and into the outer corner of my lower lash line.

*Blended the golden glow into the black in my crease.

*Next I applied Sparkling Canary to my yellow and green shadows.

*I then applied Celestial Silver to my browbone.

*I lined my upper and lower lashline with my black Fabuliner.

*I applied UD Zero to my waterline.

*Lastly I applied my Mascara.

Some Finished Look Pics:

You could add some sparkles to the cheeks to complete the fairy look.

Wet n Wild Dream Weavers

I've still yet to find these. I've not seen them anywhere and they were supposed to come out in july. I wish they would allow websites online to at least sell them. This is ridiculous. I couldnt een find the on the prowl collection anywhere but 1 and they only had a few polishes left. I did happen to get Behind Closed Doors though. A lovely lady from a forum i am apart of happened to send me all but 1 of the on the prowl collection. thanks tpf angel!!! I will be have a post of swatches here soon.

Borrowed this pic from www.Beauty.Lovelyish.com

*We're Blasing Off

*Dancing in the Clouds

*Everything Looks Small From Down Here

*Fly Me to The Moon

*Enter a New Realm

*Bright Idea

 

The most popular one seems to be Dancing in the Clouds.  They say they are dupes of some Urban Decay Shadows which I already own (Mauie Wowie, Copper, and Flash). They compared them HERE.

 

The ones I really want are Bright Idea, The Earth Looks Small From Down Here, We're Blasting Off, and Enter the Realm(i want the red shadow mainly).

 

Nouveau Cheap Has a Map where they have been spotted. Only one person had found them in my area that is a member of her blog. :/

Materials Used:

*Opi Lincoln Park After Dark

*Color Club Foiled Collection

*Konad Special Polish in Black

*Seche Vite Top Coat

*Beauty Secrets Base Coat(couldnt find my new seche vite one :/)

*Make Up Sponge

*Konad Stamper and Scraper

*Bundle Monster Plate 16

*Qtips

*Cotton Balls

I'll take a sunlight pics tomorrow. :)

*First I applied Beauty Secrets Base Coat on my nails.

*Then after base is dried i applied one coat of Opi Lincoln Park After Dark on each nail.

*Im impatient so i applied seche vite on top.

*Once dry starting with one corner of the sponge i dabbed Hot Like Lava on it and then sponged it on the right lower corner of each nail. Don't worry if you get it past your nail, just use a qtip and np remover to wipe it away at the end.

*Using the opposite corner of sponge i dabbed on Cold Metal and sponged it on the Right Upper Corner.

*I turned the sponge over and dabbed Perfect Mol-ten and sponged it on the lower left corner of my nails.

*On the opposite corner i dabbed Foil Me Once and sponged on the upper left corner of my nails.

*Then I dabbed Lumin-icecent on a corner of the sponge and dabbed it in the middle of my nails.

* I then allowed them to dry(about 2 or 3 minutes).

*I then took the konad black and stamped the Zebra Print from plate BM16 on each of my nails. The stamp isnt big enough to cover a few of the nails, so i apply the black over half the print and then stamp it on the remainder of the nail.

*Then i wait a minute before applying the top coat to make sure the black doesnt smear.

*Then after top coat dries, dip a qtip in some nail polish remover and clean up around the nails. My hands have been extra dry from the hot weather we have been having forever and its hard for me to remove. I need to go over them again now that i allowed my nails to dry longer.

Color Club Foiled

These acually came in a couple weeks ago at work but i was waiting to get paid and bought these yesterday. Color Club collections a Ross are only $7.99. I went to their website now and see that these colletions go for $48.00!! So what a savings buying them from work. :) I wanted these the second i saw them. They reminded me of the Sally Hansen Chrome polishes I had yearss ago. I actually still have a bottle.
Crystal Chrome
The collection comes with 6 polishes and a clear top coat. The colors arent labelled what color they are so i used www.cosmeticgroup.com as a reference.
Lumin-icecent is a pale light blue color in a silver base. The silver is what gives it that foil effect.

Foil me once is a pale purple almost laverendish in a silver base.

Hot like Lava is a ery bright pigmented magenta in a silver base. The pink takes away from the chromish effect that the lighter colors have.

Cold Metal is a Deep Blue. The most pigmented of the bunch and my favorite of the collection. Im calling it gator blue. Its going to go good when i get my gator nail decals. You wouldnt know there was a silver base in this one.

Perfect Mol-ten is a foil wrapping paper green in a silver base.  I'll take a couple more pics tom when the sun is out.

Aniquated is a champagne gold foil in a silver base. I will get a pic in the sunlight tomorrow as well..

These went on so smooth and dense. They are all one coaters but i did 2. They are shiny with top coat but i used seche vite for drying time and also keeps your mani lasting longer.
