Too Faced Shadow Insurance Glitter Glue (TFSIGG) on lid
Urban Decay Black Palette in Libertine on lid
Too Faced Eye Love Palette in Heaven on browbone

I'm loving everything I have from both Too Faced and Urban Decay!  It gives me more options.

I'll try to post that haul post very soon.  DH is on his way home with dinner for me...PF Chang.  YUMMY Gluten free Mongolian beef!!  The kids come home tonight too.  Still feeling a little under the weather but much better.

And alas....my other look pics (not todays but last weeks) didn't turn out.  So it's onward from here.  Oh well....

Catching up....this weeks first look...Tuesdays look with Nars....

I totally forgot to take pics of Monday's look.  Oh well....I have the rest of the week as well as a couple hauls and I'm planning on doing a look once my deep treatment is done on my hair.  :D  I took out the teal....got bored to tears of it....right now it's just a nice blonde shade in my bang area.  I may decide to do a funky color again soon, but for now I like it how it is.  Blonde is so totally not usually what I would do!

This was from Tuesday.













Eyes:

Smashbox Photo Finish Eye Primer
ELF Cream Shadow in Eggplant on lid (purple)
ELF Cream Liner in Ivory on lid
NARS Eurydice Black on lid
NARS Euryice Purple in crease and dry over lower liner
NARS Abyssinia on browbone
Shiseido Petal Trio Dark Purple in crease
Wet N Wild Cream liner in Black
ELF Mineral Infused Mascara in Black






















Face:

ELF mineral primer
ELF Under Eye Concealer
NARS Barcelona Powder Foundation
NARS Orgasm Blush
















Lips:

NARS Catfight Lipstick
NARS Stolen Kisses Gloss

I'm falling in love with NARS Products.  My only thing is the price of them means that I'll be getting my collection going SLOWLY.  Price Points mean a big deal for me, but I'm still willing to pay for quality.  Especially if it's gluten free.

I LOVE Catfight, it's a favorite of mine!  Does anyone else have it?  What do you think of it?

Catching up....Wednesday's look

I'm trying to get caught up on my posts.  I have a few looks as well as a few haul posts.  Here's Wednesday's look.  It felt like a NARS day to me, so I broke out my NARS stuff for this look.
















Eyes:
Smashbox photo finish eye primer
ELF Cream eyeliner in ivory as a base
NARS Eurydice purple color on lid patted over silk naturals stick 'em
NARS Abyssinia on browbone
NARS Tropic in crease and dry over lower liner
Wet N Wild Black cream liner upper and lower lashline
NARS Eurydice black in outer crease and over lower liner
Maybelline Great Lash Big in Blackest Black






















Face:

Smashbox photo finish light
NARS Powder foundation in Barcelona
ELF Complexion Perfection
NARS Orgasm Blush

Lips:

NARS Dolce Vita lipstick
NARS Belize lip gloss

I'm finding the Eurydice purple and the Tropic to be a little difficult to work with; both have glittery reflects in them that I have a hard time getting to show up in looks.  It's gotten a little easier though; I just think I have to tweak it some more.  

I found the Wet N Wild Cream liner to be VERY easy to use.  For the first time I was able to use a liquid/cream based liner on the lower lashline without feeling awkward or unsteady, and it didn't bother my eyes at all.  It's a wonderful formula!

Monday's look....

This was a look I did on Monday.  I got a little extra money so I did a little Wet N Wild and ELF hauling, and I plan on posting that haul soon.  I also placed a small Silk Naturals order online so I could get my Hemp moisturizer (It works well!) and a few more things.  Then I placed a small order on the ELF website too, which is coming on Friday since I splurged for faster shipping as I've heard their shipping can be slow.  Most of the things I got in that order are only available online and not at the stores.

On to the look!















Eyes:
Monistat Gel
ELF cream liner in ivory on browbone
Wet N Wild cream liner in black on lid
Wet N Wild 8 shadow palette in Petal Pusher:  left browbone color on browbone and in corner, left definer on lid, left eyelid color in crease, right definer color in crease and dry over liner
Wet N Wild Mega Liner liquid liner in plum
Maybelline Define A line in black
ELF Mineral Infused Mascara in black

This stayed this way ALL DAY LONG....




















Face:

Monistat gel as primer
ELF Eye concealer/brightener
NARS Sheer Matte foundation in Fiji
ELF Translucent Mattifying powder
MAC Dame blush

Lips:

Wet N Wild Mega Last Lipcolor in Smokin' Hot Pink
ELF Glossy Gloss in Sweet Salmon

The mattifying powder did fairly well over my sheer matte.  I only had to reapply once over my nose area.  It definitely works better if I press the powder with a sponge first then blend with a brush.

The Wet N Wild liquid liner BURNED when I accidentally got it in my eye...note to self:  DONT DO THAT!  LOL....but it was ok after that.  The Wet N Wild cream liner seems like it will last all day, it was actually a bit difficult to remove with the only eye makeup remover I have on hand right now as I need to replenish that too.  But I don't mind too much when that happens.

I have another look and a haul post coming very soon!

Wet N Wild haul and a mostly drugstore LOTD....

In keeping with my gluten free, saving money by buying drugstore to get more for your buck recent philosophy, I got a few Wet N Wild Products today.  Then I used my new ELF and Wet N Wild stuff to see how the color payoff would be, as well as to test out my uber sensitive skin and eyes with the more affordable products, and to see how the coverage would be in general.  So here's what I got...
















This is the Wet N Wild ColorIcon Palette in Pride. It was $4.99. There are several colors in the palette that are supposed to be dupes of MAC colors.  The two MAC that I had that are supposed to be comparable are next to the palette shades.  The green is Steamy, and the blue is Deep Truth.  The matte white is supposed to be similar to MAC's Gesso, but I don't have that one.



















Here are side by side swatch comparisons on bare skin.  If you notice, the Wet N Wild side is the more pigmented!  THAT one surprised me.  The green imo is DEAD ON Steamy, but the blue is a bit brighter and more shimmery than Deep Truth.  They're close though.


















Wet N Wild ColorIcon liner in Turquoise and Wet N Wild Mega Last Lipcolor in 902C Bare It All.  The liner was a whopping $0.99 and the lipstick was $2.99.   LOVE the shimmery, glittery color of the turquoise!  It was a little thick, but once it warmed up it worked pretty good.  The lipstick is one that you're either going to want to apply over a balm or with a gloss.  I've used it both ways now and like it both those ways.  I ate after doing my LOTD with this and the ELF gloss in Sweet Salmon and my lips look the same!



















Swatches of Bare It All and Turquoise.

OK, so now for the LOTD.  First I'll let you know what I used, then I'll let you know my thoughts so far.




























Those were taken with flash indoors.  The following were in natural lighting.















Eyes:

ELF Eyelid Primer all over
ELF Cream eyeliner in Ivory as base and under lower lashline and in inner corner
Wet N Wild Pride Palette Matte White on browbone
Wet N Wild Pride Palette matte green on inner 1/3 of lid
Wet N Wild Pride Palette Shimmery Green on outer 1/2 of lid and inner 1/2 of lower lashline
Wet N Wild ColorIcon liner in Turquoise to line
Wet N Wild Pride Palette Matte Blue in inner 2/3 of crease
Wet N Wild Pride Palette Shimmery Blue in outer 1/2 of crease and outer V, and outer 1/2 of lower lashline
Maybelline Define A Line Black in lower Waterline
ELF Mineral Infused Mascara in Black























Both those were indoors with flash; here is outside.






















Face:

Monistat Gel as Primer
ELF Eye concealer/highlighter duo under eye area
ELF Studio Line Tinted Moisturizer in Beige
ELF Mattifying translucent powder
NARS Orgasm Blush











Lips:

Wet N Wild Mega Last Lipcolor in 902C Bare It All
Elf Glossy Gloss in Sweet Salmon

I was pleasantly surprised today!  Never would I have expected the color payoff, feel, and coverage of all the products I used today.  I will say that the tinted moisturizer will not be used daily, as I could feel the sunscreen in it.  I want to try the Elf mattifying powder over my NARS Sheer matte foundation, possibly tomorrow.  My eyes are a little itchy, possibly from the Elf primer, but it could also just be allergies in general, as they're acting up on me atm.  I'll just have to continue playing it by ear.

However, with the color payoff of the Wet N Wild products, I'm sure I'll be picking more of them up as well. Gotta get some more MAC dupes.  And at these prices, I can continue to purchase some things here and there.

What do you think of Wet N Wild?  Have you tried any of their dupes?
