Wet 'n Wild Summer Eye Shadow Collection 2014!


I'm really excited about this! I just found at my local Rite Aid a BRAND NEW Wet 'n Wild collection of eye shadows! I didn't know this was coming because I haven't heard any Wet 'n Wild Ambassadors talk about it, whether on blog or Youtube video! I decided to do a review about it, since no one else seems to be talking about it. They were $2.99 each.



1. Something to Rave About: Aren't these colors beautiful?! Most all of these eyeshadows are matte! And that is really rare to find at the drugstore. I think last year Wet 'n Wild came out with a bunch of trios, but they didn't get very good reviews. I think these shadows are good quality. They are creamy and pigmented. They blend out nicely. This is the only swatch I did using a primer. The other swatches you are about to see are with no primer!
a. Browbone: matte light yellow
b. Crease: matte sky blue
c. Eyelid: matte dark pink



2. Sun-Set to See: I love this combination of colors. It feels so summery to me.
a. Browbone: matte cream
b. Crease: matte warm mid tone brown (This would be perfect for the crease!)
c. Eyelid: matte medium orange




3. Who's Carpooling? I can't get over how creamy and beautiful these shades are! I wonder why no one is talking about these shadows yet? Are they just not in the majority of stores? I can't wait to see the tutorials people will come out with!
a. Browbone: matte white
b. Crease: matte medium green
c. Eyelid: matte cobalt blue




4. Lost My Wristband: The names for the trios are cute too. This trio reminds me of Spring, I think because the colors look pastel.
a. Browbone: matte light pink
b. Crease: matte yellow (This looks like the same yellow in Something to Rave About.)
c. Eyelid: matte yellow green



5. No Scalpers Allowed: I had to google scalpers. In case you are wondering, they are people that illegally sell tickets.
a. Browbone: matte white pink (It looks white on my hand, but it is a pink color. It is really light.)
b. Crease: matte medium purple
c. Eyelid: satin dark blue violet (I may be wrong, but this looked more like a satin than a matte up close. It also looked like it had purple in it, that is why I called it a blue violet.)



6. Standing My Camp-Ground! These shadows are not over a primer by the way!
a. Browbone: matte yellow orange
b. Crease: matte warm dark brown
c. Eyelid: satin dark pink (Like the blue violet, this looks like more of a satin to me than a matte. I could be wrong.)

I love these eye shadows! I'm also excited to do my first blog post review inspired by one of my favorite blogs like Temptalia or Vampy Varnish or something! I hope you like my review and find it helpful!

Sephora Cinderella Storybook Eyeshadow Palette

I'm so excited! It arrived in the mail today!

This is how it looks like in the box...


Then inside the box is the palette...


When you open the drawer...


It says, "Fairytales come true" on the top.

You can take the eyeshadows off the top, and inside is an empty, velvet compartment.


These are my swatches...





The shadows are all beautiful. I'm so in love! The swatches don't really do the palette justice. They look better than my photographs show.

If you want to see a good review see part 1 and 2 by Temptalia. http://www.temptalia.com/disney-cinderella-storylook-eyeshadow-palette-by-sephora-review-photos-swatches-part-1 and http://www.temptalia.com/disney-cinderella-storylook-eyeshadow-palette-by-sephora-review-photos-swatches-part-2

According to her the dupes in the palette are as follows: (She doesn't say dupe. She says they are similar.)

1. All Aglow: Bare Escentuals Louder

2. Ball Gown: The Balm Sassy

3. Charming: Mac Nylon

4. Chateau: Illamasqua Focus

5. Cinders: Bobbi Brown Black Gold

6. Drizella: Urban Decay Half Baked, Mac Amber Lights, Make Up Forever #12, Tarina Tarantino Amber (I personally don't think it is a dupe for Half Baked. It is too dark. I don't know about the other colors.)

7. Midnight: Make Up Forever #147

8. Palace: Tarina Tarantino Fantastical

9. Royal: Inglot Eyeshadow #322, Make Up Forever #72
