Wet N Wild Carnival in RIO

 

Carnival in Rio is a shimmer powder from Wet n wild. It retails for around six dollars. It's described as a bronzer but I use it as a blush.
It's a baked powder with veining of orange and deep brown colors.
When swirled together it gives a nice burnt orange color.

 

 Since my mac blush had hit pan I was looking through the drugstore to see if I could find a dupe and surprisingly wet n wild shimmer powder worked out to be a dupe.
The First difference I noticed was that the Mac Sunbasque blush is 6 grams and carnival in rio is 11.3 grams.
As you can see you get way more product from the Wet N Wild Powder. Also the mac blush is 21 dollars. So theres also a huge difference in price.

 

When swatched I could not tell a big difference from the applications. Wet n Wilds carnival in Rio is just a tad bit more golden. If you've ever had interest in Mac's Sunbasque give wet n wilds powder a chance first and to see if the color is right for you.

Wet n Wild has really stepped it up in their cosmetics quality I remember I time were I would walk past them in the drugstore but now their the first place I check because of the great low prices and the quality for it exceeds it!

 

 

Wet n Wild Fergie Shimmer Primer and Dessert festival

 

Both items come from the drugstore brand Wet n Wild and are apart of their Fergie collection. The Primer in (a little party) is a limited edition sparkly primer and the other one is a permanent Fergie 5 shadow palette. Both average around $5 dollars depending on where you go.

 

 

I've heard alot of hype around the Fergie collection and seeing I needed a new eyeshadow primer I thought I would try it out. I noticed when it came out of the tube it looked like a thick consistency. I spread it out on my hand it it spread evenly but left a tacky feeling on touching it. When it was spread out it showed up as a iridescent silver wash of color. The sheen was quite intense but when I applied shadows over it I didn't notice any of the shimmer from the primer show through. I was really hoping it would make my shadows just alittle bit shimmery but nothing. Besides the color I would say since it is a tacky finish so it clung well to my shadows and stayed on all day without creasing.





 

 

 

The dessert festival palette was something I always wanted to try every time I walked past it in the drugstores but was weary on the color payoff. So what better way to try it then when I picked up the primer to try out as a pair and see if it helped out the shadow any.

The palette has five colors in it which the first one doesn't even show up on my skin but the other four do. The colors consist of warm orange colors and cool browns and black.

I had high hopes on the colors especially the orange colors but with all the chalkiness the color faded throughout the day. I thought it was going to be more intense like it showed in the pan.
