Review: Wet N Wild LE Pop Art Craze To Muse and Carouse

I am here today with a review of the Wet N Wild Limited Edition Pop Art Craze 3 pan palette in To Muse and Carouse. This collection was just recently released I think in July of this year. I found mine at my local Walgreens for $2.99 per palette. I've heard some ladies getting them for more or less depending on where they live and if their local stores had sales.

Color Selection:

 

Browbone: matte peachy salmon

Crease: matte brown

Eyelid: matte bright electric baby blue

Swatches:

 TOP: Flash

BOTTOM: No Flash

The peachy salmon brow bone shade is a nice transition color for my skin tone. At the same time it has enough peachyness in it to bring a little bit of warmth to your eyes. This shade was hard to build up but worked well as a blending shade along with being a transition color. The crease shade I think is the easiest to work with. It blended well and at the same time you could build up the color intensity but it did have a bit of fall out. As for the eyelid color I found this color to be the most pigmented but also the most chalky. All three of these shades were chalky and had a bit of fall out but none the less an amazing purchase for only $2.99.

For this look I first placed the browbone shade as a transition color. I then took the crease color and placed it along my crease. I built up the intensity of the color on the outer corner of my eyes and took it under my bottom lashes. I built up the eyelid color on top of a Maybelline color tattoo to make it pop and that was how I achieved this look.

If you liked this review then stay tuned as I will be doing more Wet N Wild reviews in the future. Including more of the limited edition pop art craze palettes. Thank you and I will see you guys later!

Haul: Tarte 30% Off Sale

I made an order off of Tartes website last week when they were having 30% off their entire website. It was an amazing deal so I ended up picking up three of their blushes. I picked up the colors in Tipsy, Flushed, and Fearless. I forgot to check but I remember adding their bronzer sample for free but for some reason it didn't go through. So today I received my package and I am just very upset and disappointed. There just aren't any words for me to express my disappointment.

When I heard the FEDEX truck I was super excited but it ended up going to my moms house and dropped it off over their. I literally ran there, picked it up and came back home. When I opened the box my heart dropped. Let down number one, apparently I didn't order a deluxe sample of the bronzer which I am pretty sure I had added to my cart. Let down number two was when I opened up the tissue one of my blushes wasn't even a box. I opened it up and obviously it was completely smashed to bits. I opened up the other two blushes to make sure they weren't cracked either. Thankfully they weren't or I would have been a very unhappy camper.

Like I said it's completely broken and theirs possibly no chance of me even saving this blush. I did swatch whatever was left of it. This blush has huge glitter chunks but after swatching it the bigger chucks seemed to fall off and all that was left was the color of the blush and little, itty bitty specks of sparkle that's barely even noticeable with just the slightest sheen. It's actually really pretty but sadly I will probably have to wait a few more days to get it replaced. I have emailed Tartes customer service and hopefully it will all get straightened out soon. Hopefully sooner than later though.

 

LEFT: Tipsy

RIGHT: Flushed

Tipsy is a gorgeous matte coral shade. I didn't swatch as I was just too upset to do anymore swatches. Flushed is a berry shade great for fall and winter so I picked that up.

I will have swatches and a full review up after I test out these colors. Thanks for reading and I will see you guys soon.

REVIEW: E.L.F. 24K 32 Piece Eyeshadow Palette

I finally had time today to put up my review and swatches of the ELF 24K 32 piece eyeshadow palette. Which, I know I've been promising to do more reviews so I hope you can forgive me and keep following me on my makeup journey. It's been hard trying to find time to do swatches, taking photos, and I'm not even going to mention filming videos because it's been really hectic. Anyways, I'm going to stop rambling so that we can get straight in to this amazing palette.

A LITTLE HISTORY...
This palette was a limited edition palette launched a year or so ago for Christmas from ELF's 24K line. As you can obviously guess there are 32 eyeshadows. All ELF palettes are hit or misses for people but personally I think this is a HIT. There are a few shadows here and there that aren't as amazing as you would want them to be but for the price it's no biggie.

I purchased this about a year or so ago but never got around to using it because I wasn't really into using colors in my everyday makeup routine. Naturally I steered clear of this palette. I've finally broken out of my shell and I find myself experimenting with colors everyday so I thought I would give my two cents on the palette. Even though this palette is no longer available I thought it something worth sharing.

COLOR SELECTION...

 TOP: With Flash

BOTTOM: Without Flash

As you can see there is a nice selection of colors. Blues, blacks, greens, purples, browns, and even a gorgeous coral.

SWATCHES...

First Row

 

The first row has a lot of lighter colors. I love to use the first color as a highlight shade but it is rather chalky so you have to be careful with it. The gold shade(3rd swatch from the right) is a beautiful all over the lid color for summer if you're going for that golden goddess kind of look. The pink shade(4th from the left) is a pretty pink color that reminds me of sin from Urban Decay. I'm not saying its exactly the same I'm just saying it reminds of Sin.

This is the look I created using the champagne color(2nd from left). I used this color on top of a Maybelline Color Tatto in order for the color to pop. By itself it wasn't really opaque enough to my liking but it really is just personal preference.

Row Number 2

My favorite color out of this row is definitely the coral color(2nd from left). My least favorite out of these is definitely the sparkly black. when swatched there is little to no pigment. Just mainly glitter with a lot of fall out. The two least favorite of mine are the two middle colors. The pink and lilac shade are very misleading in the pan. In the pan the pink shade looks like a lilac and the lilac shade in the pan looks darker and more pigmented. These two colors were very depressing for me as I really liked the way they looked in the pan. But like I said the shadows are hit or misses.

This is the look I did with the coral shade. As you can see it is rather pigmented and blends beautifully.

3rd Row

I love the turquoise and the icy blue shades in this row. Sadly the turquoise shade almost completely blends away to nothing which is very sad. Especially when it swatches so true to color. However, that might have been because I used the shadow under my eyes instead of packing the color on. I might try using this color a little bit more on the eyes instead of smudging out the color under my eyes to see how much better it does.

Row Number 4

This row I love the 4th,5th, 6th, and 7th swatches. The 4th swatch is a gorgeous deeper bronze/rose gold shade. Swatch number 5 is a perfect transition color to bring some warmth into your eyes. The 6th swatch is a really pretty mossy green and the 7th is just a nice pop of color.

As a whole I really like this palette and I very much did enjoy it. There were some hit or miss shadows but that's fine by me as it is ELF so I don't expect Urban Decay kind of quality. With only a couple of duds I think this palette is an awesome find and something worth trying if you can ever find it ever again.

If you like this kind of post then I will most definitely be doing more in the future. Thanks for reading my review and I will see you guys all later.
