Wet N Wild Lipstick Swatches

Hey everyone! I have been M.I.A. lately. Things have gotten busy at home and I was sick, had a week full of headaches and the ATTACK OF THE KILLER ALLERGIES!!! Anyway, no excuses, just giving you all an update. As I have been trying to go through and swatch all my lipsticks it seems that this post magically disappeared. I do not know why, anyways... Today is going to be full of Wet N Wild spam!

Things I love, these lipsticks. Things I don't love so much, how difficult Vamp It Up is to work with. I love the color. It is just perfect for fall, it just needs a little help. I recently picked up a few dark purple lip liners to see how the work with Vamp It Up. Cherry Picking is just an awesome red. I think many people could wear this red and look just wonderful. 24 Carrot Gold and Purty Persimmon however, are a bit more difficult for everyone to pull off. I am not sure if I have the right skin tone for Purty Persimmon, but I do know that I do NOT like how 24 Carrot Gold looks on me. I am going to try to layer it with glosses and see if I can make it work for me. I am loving Rose-bud and Coral-ine. Rose-bud is a perfect dusty rose. I have forsaken Tea Rose from NYX and have since replaced it with Rose-bud as my perfect office lipstick. (Coral-ine, honestly was mostly purchased because of the name. I love corals and I really loved the book Coraline. It is what it is. At least I am honest.=] ) Coral-ine is a pretty orangy, pinky, red that I just can't get enough of! It seems to be a less orange and more red/pink version of NYX Matte Lipstick in Indie Flick. My current love of the NYX Matte Lipstick line. It seems there are not many lipsticks that I have purchased that I am not totally in love with. I think I have a disease.

The only color I am not fond of at all, is 24 Carrot Gold. Do you have any tips or tricks to make this lipstick work? Is it worth it or a lost cause?

What is your favorite Wet N Wild lipstick? Are there any that I do not have that I really must pick up?

Wet N Wild Lipstick Pinkerbell & Don't Blink Pink Swatches

I wanted to share with you two of the new Wet N Wild lipsticks. I have not been able to find them in any of the stores in my area. Apparently the people who live here either bought them all or the company does not seem to think anyone here would like them. Since there were none to be found here, a lovely friend sent these to me.

Here is what the packaging looks like. I do not like it. The product cannot be wound down any lower meaning some sticks out. Because of this, you can hit it with the cap causing waste of product as well as a mess!

Pinkerbell - Don't Blink Pink

May I just say I love both of these colors. At first I only wanted Pinkerbell, but after having the opportunity to get Don't Blink Pink, I am so glad I said yes! It is truly a pretty color. Pinkerbell is similar to MAC Viva Glam Nicki, so I would say pick up some of these if you love Nicki because it is limited edition.

What do you think of these lipsticks? I am contemplating picking up Coral-ine and Rosebud. What other colors would you suggest?

MAC Swatches - (I Broke My No-Buy, Time To Get Back On The Wagon)

Now is the time to have a serious heart to heart, kinda. By now you may have found out - and I feel quite guilty about it - that I have totally smashed my 100 day no-buy. I was doing really well, making a list of everything I liked. Then all of a sudden *BAM* I was overcome with this urge to purchase stuff. I was not feeling well emotionally. I have been quite stressed lately and I wasn't dealing with life well. I take full responsibility for my actions, and am trying to correct them.

I wanted to be honesty with everyone who reads my blog. Reading some blogs can get you do. It seems like everyone is so perfect and happy. Always. That is just not the case. Everyone has good and bad days. Bad habits and wonderful success. I don't blame people for only wanting to share the good. But sometimes, it is better to be honest to your readers, your friends, instead of ignoring a big part of your day, life, self. This is why I feel that I -HAVE- to share this with you. When all my packages arrive I will probably do a collective haul or something. Some things will be from before the no-buy. (I promise I didn't go -that- crazy)

But today, with all of that behind me, my credit card hidden, and a plan to fix and start saving again I want to share with you my first ever MAC purchase. I had been lusting over a few of this for a long time and just cracked and went out immediatly to see them in person, and subsequently take them home with me. I went in with a limit of 100$. I refused to spend anymore than that. I did good. I came out 60$ poorer and 4 lipsticks richer. I picked up:

Viva Glam Nicki - bright yellow pink
Watch Me Simmer - bright pink-orange
Impassioned - amped-up fuchsia
Vegas Volt - full power coral

I am overall happy with my purchase. I am not sure if Nicki looks good on me, but I am ok with that because the money goes to a good cause. I really like Vegas Volt. I am pretty sure that OCC Lip Tar in Grandma is a dupe. Impassioned is a very pretty color and I think I may have a dupe for that as well. I wanted Watch Me Simmer from the MAC COOK, MAC SHOP(?) collection and missed out so I scooped it up this time.

What do you think of the colors I chose? Have you ever just kinda lost your mind when it comes to purchases?

EOTD - Match Your Eye Color Entry

I did this last minute because inspiration did not hit me until this morning. I was thinking of my eye color, hazel and realized that I can use blue, green and brown. The main color of my eye is green, but there is brown around my pupil, and a blue ring around the outside of my iris. Since these colors go together so well I thought I would use blue, green and brown in my look. I am sorry the pictures stink, I took them in a hurry (and with my phone).

I used:
UDPP

GDE Dirty Jeans

WNW Comfort Zone

What do you think? Would you wear this combination? What would you have done differently? What colors would you have used for you eye color?

Wet N Wild Comfort Zone

Today I am going to show you some swatches of Wet N Wild's Comfort Zone Palette. This palette contains 8 colors that you can use to create a variety of looks. As always the colors are labels with the suggested place to used them: browbone, eyelid, crease, definer.

I really enjoyed swatching these and actually did a quick look with this as soon as I got it home. The colors are nice, all work together, and will work for almost anyone. I like that there are some with glitter, for when you want a little something extra, and some without for a more natural look.

Do you have this palette? What do you think about it?

Wet N Wild Silent Treatement

Today I just want to share a quick review of Wet N Wild's Silent Treatment palette. I picked this up on a whim at Ulta the last time I went. There are three coordinating colors labeled with a suggested way to wear them together.
