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.

3 products that are $3 dollars each



Who said you couldn't get great products for cheap. Elf's makeup brand has some of the best drugstore products which most are under three dollars. Don't let the price fool you their not some cheaply throw away products but are some of my favorite.
 
Their gel eyeliner is so amazing,never have I've gotten such a pigmented black line. I glide it on and the creamy formula goes on weather I decide to do a thin or thick line. It's also stays on all day so well that by the end of the night it will still look freshly applied.
If you still don't believe how impressed I'm just look at that jet black line!



     Now I know it's not summer yet but I still wear blush like it is. Meaning I pretty much gravitate towards warm bright pinks just like Elf's Pink Passion. It looks so intense in the package but when applied on the cheeks it is the most ravishing pink flush. Pink Passion is pretty hyped so for anyone who still hasn't tried it take a peak of it next time you go to target.






 The messiest of this brow gel is definitely the testament of how much I love it. One side is a tinted gel that helps cheap brows in place and the other powder is to set it. It comes in three colors light,medium,and dark. 
This kit makes doing my brows so effortlessly. Such a time saver when I want to fool proof way to do them.

Covergirl True Magic

 Is this really a dupe for one of the other high end clear gel products that claim to reduce oils on your face?
Well the concept says that instead of adding more powder to an oily face, just apply this over your makeup and it will give you a flawless matte finish. Great concept if it actually worked that way.
I wouldn't totally discount this product though. I'll use it up but I use it a different way. I use the tiniest amount as a primer under my makeup. With that method it helps my makeup glide on and holds up pretty well.
As you can see the first day I tried to put it over my makeup but it actually took off some of my makeup with it. Which is never good especially when I was only half way through my day.
If your still interested in using this as a primer its pretty good. Blurred my pores and made my foundation look flawless. The gel looks white in the container but it comes off clear. Besides the chunky packaging and no mirror I would rate this product a 3 out of 5. I won't be repurchasing it but I shall use it up.

Physicians Formula Sexy Glow Blush In Rose


I've discovered this blush at the drugstore a couple months ago and every since I've used it daily. It retails for 11.95.
What attracted me to this product was the intricate details of the packaging, something I don't see very much at the drugstore. It has a a black fish net design over red fabric and with the high heel charm it really doe give off the sexy vibe. When you open the magnetic closer you see a stiletto print in the middle considerably more darker than the actually blush shade. The overall shade of the blush is quite natural and as stated gives a flushed glow. Most days I wear it alone on my cheeks but on days were I want a more flushed look I apply it over a pink blush and it just amplifies the color without being over the top. Applied by it self it's a pretty natural finish and just enough for everyday wear. 




 The outstanding thing about this product is the smell! yes it's amazing! Physicans Formula website states that "it has apheromone-mimicking ingredients including clinically tested Androstadienone, Cocoa Extract (aka "the Love Chemical") and ancient aphrodisiac Horny Goatweed to enhance your sexy side."
 The longevity of this blush is astonishing. I put it on in the morning and in the night it will still be perfectly. Overall its one of my favorite blushes and with Valentines day coming up I think everybody should try it to feel that much more flirty on V-day.

My Signature fragrance

 I think one of the best things is finding your signature fragrance. It's something people know you by and when you put it on it seemingly completes the outfit.
 
It took me so long to find my signature scent. I've tried out so many brands but I couldn't seem to find one. I really wanted to have a  frangerance that lasted all day and worked well with my body chemistry. I first found out about the juicy couture viva la juicy when one of friends had a tester and as soon as she sprayed its like my nose had an epiphany. Although she didn't let me have a spray I knew it was because it was so good. So last Christmas I recieved the perfume and never have I've gotten more compliments on my fragerence that I was wearing. It floured me how long it lasted because I've never experienced a fragerance that lasted till the morning till night.
 
 
 This Christmas my wonderful Husband wanted to get me the perfect gift so I hinted this set. It retails for $76 which is such a deal becasue it comes with the 1.7 oz perfume,4.2 oz body lotion,and a makeup bag.
 
 
The scent described by Sephora:
 
Notes: Wild Berries, Mandarins, Honeysuckle, Gardenia, Jasmine, Amber, Caramel, Vanilla, Sandalwood, Praline.
Style:
Tantalizing. Teasing. Tempting.
 
 
Look at how nice the inside of the bag is! So travel friendly

Major Discount makeup haul

I was alittle bummed going to Walmart without any beauty coupons but then I started to relize that walmart has some products marked with red stickers which turned out to be amazing clearance deals. I don't know if all walmarts have red stciker clearence items but it's worth a look to see.
 
 I've never tried out the Flower beauty line at Walmart but when I saw that some of the items had the stickers on them I jumped at the chance to try them. The two lipglosses I got were marked at clearence for 3.00 instead of the retail of 6.98. The powder foundation was 5.00 instead of 9.99.
The creme eyeshadow was only 4.00 bucks instead of 7.98.
 
With the savings I got the total was only $15 instead of 31.92!


 
 

$8.97
 These brushes and the Elf cream eyeliner were the only things not on sale but were still a great deal.
I can't wait to try out the cream eyeliner I hear good things about it.

$3.00

I looked in the hair dye secton and I found the Garnier Olia in darkest violet for only 4.50 instead of 9.99!




I always like to shop for savings and definetly stuff on clearence. I just wanted to share with you guys about the clearences I've found and hopefully your guys Walmart has clearence sales as well.

Urban Decay naked 3 Palette

 This is the NEWEST Urban Decay Palette with 12 new rose hued Eye shadowes!
You can find this palette at Ultra,Urban Decay,Sephora for $52 dollars. It includes 4 sample size primer potions: original,eden,sin,and anti-aging. It also includes a dual eyeshadow brush,one side being a fluffy blender brush while the other side is a lid brush.I love that they included the brush,I use it everyday(sooo soft)
The packaging of the packaging is so darling with it's rippled effect on the cover. The rest of the case functions much the same as the Naked 2 palette.
 As you look at the swatches I can't begin to tell you how Amazing the shadows are. No chalkiness what so ever! So silky and highly pigmented. There is not one eyeshadow in here I don't love. What an amazing idea to have a whole palette of rose hued colors. Not to worry their not super pink just the undertones are that Rosy color.

Color descriptions from bottom to top

Strange: is a matte pigmented creamy white color perfect for brow bone highlight. I'm so glad they put this shadow in here because it actually shows up on my skin

Dust: it's a light shimmery pinkie color. I usually put it over my lid color and it makes it look so sparkly that way

Burnout: it's a beige rose gold color

Limit: it's a matte light chocolate brown with rose undertone

Buzz: this is my favorite color, such a beautiful rose shimmer color.
I've used this color as my lid color and even as the crease color

Trick: A bold gold with lots of fine sparkles, a great pearly smooth finish
 
Nooner: it looks like a boring matte cool toned brown but it's actually looks like a rosy brown color on the lid, just beautiful and an unique color

Liar: a bronze rose color

Factory: A warm dark taupe color

Mugshot: deep purple rose golden shade

Dark side: A slate silver purple color

Black heart: a deep black purple shade with red micro glitter.
On the lid it comes out lighter and I don't notice the red glitters




 This palette blew me away with the quality and uniqueness of the colors. I was on strike against getting this palette at first but when I swatched it I was awe struck at the colors. I have not seen another rose hued shadow quad that captures the neutral aspect of the shadows. Over all I could not have asked for a better palette. The price might seem steap but I waste so much money on cheapy palettes that I won't even end up using so atleast I know with this one I'll get so much use out of it!
