Haul - Wet n Wild "Wild Shine" Nail Color

Hello Everyone!!

I went to Wal-Mart and got myself some Wet n Wild Wild Shine nail colors. They were on sale for $0.99. The colors were all warm holiday colors. So I got 5 nail polishes.

Here are the pictures….

From left to right: Clear nail Protector, Kaleidoscope, Lavender Pearlescent, Mauve Frost, Rose Sage

Anyways, when I got home, I tried 420B, Lavender Pearlescent on...

First, i applied the clear nail protector on and then 2 coats of the Lavender Pearlescent.

Overall, they are not that bad for their price. Nice colors for the holidays.

Have you tried Wet and Wild Nail colors?

Review & Swatches - ELF Cream Blush and ELF Body Shimmer

Hello Everyone!!!

Here are the swatches and review for the ELF Cream Blush and Body Shimmer I bought a while ago.

ELF Cream Blush:

I got ELF Cream Blush in Seductress. I have never tried cream blush before so thought I should give it a try. For $3 you can’t go wrong (original price is $6 but I used the 50% off code). When I open the packaging, I was a bit disappointed with the color as it was very bright. But after applying and blending it well, I love it. J

So here are the pictures….

Without flesh looks more red…

With flash looks more hot pink…

Heavy swatch to show the color ….

Blended nicely…you only need a little bit, really J

According to the company:

“This amazing blush offers the best of both worlds! It smoothes on as a cream for great texture and then transforms into a velvety soft powder finish for long-lasting rich color that’s never greasy! The lightweight, refreshing oil-free formula looks natural and radiates a beautiful glow perfect for all skin types. The soft powder finish can be layered for desired intensity and dimension.”

My thoughts:

I love it…looks natural if blended well. You can build up the color but first use little bit. Long lasting. Good amount of product for the price. Love the packaging. I use ELF power brush to apply the blush and it looks flawless.

Whether I would buy it: Yes, I would be buying the ELF cream blush. I will definitely try other colors since I couldn’t get any as they were out of stock.

ELF Body Shimmer:

I got ELF Body Shimmer in Cosmic Coral. I got this for $1.50 (original price is $3; I used the 50% off code). It is one of their new products. I bought this thinking I would use it as a blush, hence the color choice. It is really pretty color with golden shimmer.

So here are the pictures….

Sleek packaging…

Not much product thoughL……

  Swatch on my hand

  Blended …so pretty J

According to the company:

“Create sexy, soft shimmer for a healthy looking glow that is lightweight and comfortable. Great for using on cheeks, lips, eyes. The convenient twist-up design is easy to use for quick application. Simply glide on this chic shimmer for a sunless, gorgeous glow.”

My thoughts:

I love it… Love the packaging however not a lot of product. When I saw it online, I thought it would a round stick and would have great amount of product. Oh well, I only paid $1.50. I love the color and golden shimmer, great for the summer to highlight your cheeks.

Whether I would buy it: Maybe, if I get the 60% code, lol.I like the color and packaging but the amount of product you get is not a lot.

I hope you like the review and Swatches...

Thanks,

xoxo

Review & Swatches - ELF hypershine gloss

Hello Everyone!!!

Here is the review and swatches for the ELF hypershine lip gloss I got for free with the order I purchased recently.

I got ELF hypershine gloss in honey.I personally don’t like lip gloss hence I don’t own much lip glosses. The reason why I don’t like them is because most of them are sticky and it feels weird to have it on my lips.

Here are the swateches....

 On my hand

 On my lips...

According to the company:

“Hyper, glass-like shine infused with micro-mirror technology to reflect light. Smoothes lips on contact with a conditioning shine that lasts for hours. Create that natural lip stain of color that's sheer, subtle and beautiful!”

My thoughts:

I like the sheer color on my lips, very affordable ($1), smells good and easy application. I didn’t wear it long enough to find out whether it lasts for hours. Sorry!!

However, for those who love lip gloss and don’t mind it being sticky, this one is goodJ.

Whether I would buy it: No, not because it is bad or anything but I don’t like lip gloss in general.

Disclaimer: I am not being paid to do this review, this is my honest opinion.

Thanks,

XOXO
