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.

that pretty much concluded my workout. Afterwards we promised Tianna we would buy her some rain boots since My mom only had the chance to buy Jasmyn hers. So we headed over to the mall and let her pick out her own rainboots. Then I was super starving for lunch lol, so Hubby decided to treat us out and we ate at CPK - i really have been loving the Garlic Cream Fettuccine.. I normally hate anything garlic lol, so it's weird that i absolutely love this stuff lol.. maybe it's my pregnancy.. who knows! but I'm going to officially be 5 months preggers tomorrow! (Monday!) Can you believe how fast this pregnancy is going? i'm super excited.. although I am trying to gain weight at a steady pace, i have not gained any more weight in this 2nd trimester (normally should start to gain 1-2lbs per week in the 2nd trimester).. so yes i'm a bit worried - so i'm trying to eat more and more.. but still healthy food choices.. so we'll see how this goes. hope you all had a lovely weekend!  I have 3 videos to film/edit and upload and I go back to school on Tuesday! yikes! won't be able to post as much again lol.. but we'll see! alright - till next time!

NARS Danmari All about cheeks Palette

Have any of you heard about the Nars Danmari all about cheeks palette? I'm sure most of you have! 


My goodness, I have never wanted a blush palette so bad in my life LOL! 


I surely missed my opportunity for the Sephora friends and family discount, but luckily I have my Sephora VIB discount code that I could use.. but it's not valid until November 10th, which i'm hoping this baby doesn't sell out again LOL (yes it sold out!) 


This thing sold out as fast as the Naked Palette did, when it first came out.. 

Image from Sephora.com

From the sephora website:

Danmari All About Cheeks Palette ($107 Value)
What it is:
Based on the exquisite tradition of Kabuki theatre, a classical Japanese dance drama, this palette features six high-pigment cheek powders that let you play up your features like a true performance artist.

What it does:
The ultimate authority in blush, this limited-edition mirrored holiday NARS compact features the essential blush and bronzer shades, ranging from warm bronze and luminous highlighting hues to shockingly bright pink. Turn a new cheek with this fashion-forward mix created exclusively for Sephora.

This set contains:
- 6 x 0.12 oz Cheek Color in Hungry Heart (gold ivory), Super Orgasm (peachy pink with gold glitter), Desire (cotton candy pink), Casino (dark brown with golden shimmer), Orgasm (peachy pink with golden shimmer), Sin (berry with gold shimmer)

I am really debating about getting this palette, because:

1. I do not have any of these colors yet
2. it's $65!! that's a $107 value!
3. Nars blushes are extremely pigmented and a little goes a long way (meaning this will last FOREVER!)

and the list goes on and on.. but because we all know i'm on a real tight budget, and i'm really trying to save every penny I get to go towards a new iPhone 4S (cause I currently have the 3GS and it's pooping out on me!)..  which I really need! (for those of you who know me, know that I use my phone for EVERYTHING - ie: doctor appts for family, bills etc, social networking) I need my phone! lol.. so it sucks that my current phone is deciding to poop out on me now, but gahh that's really expensive as well.. so i'm in a bit of a bind.. i could purchase this palette.. or use that money to save (which will take me longer) for my iPhone 4S.. hmmm decisions, decisions? what's a makeup junkie to do? lol

what are your thoughts on this palette? do you have it? is it a must have? AHH! it's beautiful!


[UPDATE 11/17/2011] I just posted a sephora VIB event/sale haul - http://www.myfitbeauty.com/2011/11/sephora-vib-haul-picture-heavy.html and yes, I got this palette!

Gym Session :: 11/3/2011

I've been really enjoying going to the gym with my Husband :) We always have such an awesome time together, and I had to help him record footage of him training for his next video :) (which you have not seen his video's please do!) 

And of course I trained with him as well :) Today was a chest/back kinda day :p

Cardio:

Did some walking on the treadmill, at a high incline.. of course I didn't run lol

It was a rather quick workout.. love the fact we could bring the girls with us at the kiddie club they have.. Lol, the whole time I was on the treadmill, the lady next to me was being SO obvious she was staring at me.. well she would stare at me, then my belly, then me, then my belly LOL.. I should have told her to take a picture, it lasts longer lol.. 

but yes I do get funny looks at the gym because i'm pregnant and lifting weights, on the treadmill.. which I think is funny because - people need to be more educated that it's okay to exercise during pregnancy.. that it's actually proven to be beneficial! :) So if your doctor gives you the a-okay to workout, Do it! i'm glad that i'm still able to exercise and proud of myself that i want to.. because who knows when i'm like 7-8 months preggo, will i still have the same motivation to workout? (I sure do hope so!) .. that's why i'll get all the exercise in that i can now :) 

but anywho, hope you all are having a great week! :) stay tuned for my next video! even though I posted some pictures of what I received at the beauty social by beautylish event, I still had people request to do a video on the items.. so I shall do that!  till next time :D
