Wet N Wild || Baked Eyeshadow Palettes & Matte Palette (Pic Heavy)

So I've heard so many great things about these palettes in particular, so I knew I had to get my grubby little hands on them. Of course with my luck, everything is usually sold out where i live, so I was surprised to have gotten my hands on the very last ones!


I have collected tons and tons of Wet N Wild eyeshadow palettes and I know their quality, I love their products, so I was expecting the same thing for these eyeshadows..


So in this post, just going to show you all what I picked up & later on, do some looks featuring them! :) 


I just wanted to share pictures of what all the shades looked like in case anyone was wondering - I will definitely swatch these all for you and update this post afterwards! :) until then - enjoy!

followed by the baked eyeshadow palettes

I also decided to pick up this blush because of Hollyannaeree!

Did you pick up any of these eyeshadow palettes? what are your thoughts on Wet N Wild products? What other eyeshadow palettes/blushes etc are you looking forward to getting?

FTC: I purchased these with my own money - I was not paid to post these pictures.

I Took a regular fluffy eyeshadow brush, picked up some All that glitters e/s and placed it all over the lid just a little bit above the crease. I then took a blending brush and applied very lightly sumptous olive e/s on the crease and outer corner and blended it out very well (winshield wiper motions & circular blending motions)

I used a MAC 109 Brush to pick up some Stila One Step Foundation and buffed it into the skin (a little goes a long way). I then Applied MAC MSFN with a MAC 134 brush.

FOTN: Purple & Bluez

HI all! :) This is a quick FOTN that I did (i had this on during the day at work - so sorry if it's fading away like the rest of my makeup lol).. but thought i'd share with you all :)

These are from my laptop.. i'm going to edit this later (uploading my video to YT right now).. and will post them on here later..

Tell me whatcha think?










I'm still on the hunt for the perfect foundation (liquid) and powder.. I had some great recommendations from MUG, so i'm going to go to the mall tonight (after running some errands) and check them out - I wasn't too sure what the heck color I am because whenever I go to the MAC counter, the makeup looks find there at the store, but when I use the product at home - it's always either way too dark or too light.. but i had some recommendations and i hope it'll be a match.. (i hate having super oily t-zone and dry cheeks)..

But for this FOTN i'm using:

FACE
Revlon Colorstay in Medium Beige
MAC Studio Finish Concealer NW25
MAC Mineralize Blush in Gleeful

EYES
UDPP
BH Cosmetics 120 Palette Edition 2 (for Lid color purple)
Maybelline Expert Eyeshadow Quad Seashore Frosts for Inner corner/Crease/outter corner
Wet N Wild Gel/Cream eyeliner in 886 Black
Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in zero on waterline
L'oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara in Blackest Black


LIPS
Aquaphor
MAC Faux L/S
MAC Cranberry L/L


I'm looking for the perfect face primer for oily skin any recommendations? :)
