Wet n Wild Ultimate Expressions

I've heard some good reviews on YouTube about Wet n Wild's Ultimate Expressions eye palette, so I decided to snag a couple at my local Walgreens. In one particular review, the individual swatched some of the Paradise Cove colors over an eye base (which is what I've done) & was amazed at the level of pigmentation in a drugstore product.

Well, I've tried this & I really like it! For a drugstore product the pigmentation is great, as you can see in the swatches. Unfortunately, the swatches don't really showcase the pretty shimmer & texture very well. But believe me when I say that these colors are very pretty & I love them! They're about 5 bucks a piece, unless you get a BOGO deal like I did. Very pretty!

e.l.f. Beauty Encyclopedia

I just found out about elf's Beauty Encyclopedia, a multi-palette makeup kit. Has anyone tried this? If yes, what were your thoughts on this product? I'm curious.

Rimmel Colour Mousse Eyeshadow

Ooo, these colors look so gorgeous, I want to try them! Has anyone tried these, what did you think? I was watching MakeupGeekTV's Bourjois cream/liquid shadows review & one of her viewers mentioned these Rimmel shadows as being really good, so I'm curious.

Spinlash Winners!

First of all, I'd just like to let everyone know that choosing the 3 winners was very difficult because I had several great eye looks to choose from. You all did a great job!

So, after much deliberation, here are the winners!

Thanks to all who entered, I had fun seeing all your different eye looks! I'll shoot each of you an eMail to let you know & send your mailing address to Spinlash so they can send that out to each of you. Once again, Thanks!

Mark's Shimmering Eye Trios

Look at what I got in my inbox today! Don't these look pretty? I want to try this in aqua wave. I love shimmery shadows!

Gosh Shimmering Waterproof Eyeshadow Stick

I would love to get this stick from Gosh Cosmetics. It seems reminiscent of Mac's Shadestick, I'd love to try this!

e.l.f. shimmering facial whip

I've been wanting to try elf's shimmering facial whip for awhile now, but for a little while it looked like they were phasing it out. They weren't restocking colors that had gone out of stock & I was bummed because some of the colors I wanted were gone.

Well here's some happy news, it looks like they're going to keep the facial whip after all! They've restocked the colors I want, so maybe I'll get to try this soon, hopefully. Maybe this is old news, I don't know, but I'm sure happy about it!

Splash Cosmetics

I've recently discovered a cosmetics company called Splash Cosmetics. Did you know that they make all over face pigments too? These look very interesting & promising, not to mention that at only $5 a pop they're very inexpensive. Has anyone tried these?

little block box compact

Has anyone tried this compact from mark cosmetics with the shimmer cubes? Looks interesting. I may try this later.

NYX Cosmetics - Preview

It's always fun to find out about new or soon-to-be-released products, don't you think? Naturally! Well, here's a preview of some products by NYX Cosmetics that have yet to be released. I'm most excited about the lipstick. In 96 colors, there should be something for most everyone. Perhaps I'll find my perfect red lippy after all!
