wet n wild coloricon blush *Review & Swatches*


Wet N Wild makes some awesome blushes that won't break the bank. Only $2.99!
There's only four shades & I have three. 
Keep reading for my reviews of each & swatches...

 Heather Silk is a matte shade that gives my cheeks a nice pinch of color.
I like this one the most because there's no shimmer which works best for my skin.

Ah Pearlescent Pink! Such a gorgeous color full of shimmer. 
Unfortunately for me all that simmer means visible acne scars. 

Mellow Wine has a small amount of shimmer as you can see in the picture. 
It's still wearable for me so that's a good thing.

Here's the swatches:

All of these blushes blend easily & can be layered to give you whatever type of look you want. 
Overall these are some of my favorite blushes. I wish Wet N Wild would come out with more shades.

Wet N Wild coloricon bronzer in "Ticket to Brazil"

(The picture above actually looks a bit darker than what it really is)



After trying out Reserve your Cabana I knew I had to try one of the darker shades. I ended up choosing "Ticket to Brazil". I use this to contour my cheeks, forehead, & Jawline. I really like how pigmented &how  easy to blend it is. It doesn't cause me to breakout either. This shade works perfect for my skintone. If your a darker skintone then I would suggest getting "Bikini Contest". 


There appears to be shimmer, but I don't notice any of it on face. 
Which is good because it doesn't cause my acne scars to show on my cheeks. 


I didn't blend the swatch so that you ladies could get an idea of what it looks like.

L'oreal Infallible eyeshadow *Review & Swatches*

L'oreal claims that these eyeshadows are 24 hour lasting hold. Also water resistant, crease resistant, & fade resistant. 
With that being said here's what I think.
I'm not sure about the 24 hour hold because I don't wear makeup for that long but They did hold up for 12 hours. I had no problems with fading & creasing. Didn't have any fallout during application. I'm not sure about waterproof being that these were easily to wipe off my eyes with a makeup remover wipe. I had put buying these off but I'm really glad I gave in & bought them. Both the colors I picked up are beautiful shades That can be worn along or with another shade. Golden sage works great as an allover color while Smoldering Plum makes a great crease color. These are buildable so you can create whatever time of look you want. 
I took a ton of pictures so I'm sorry that this post is photo heavy. I just wanted to show how lovely these shadows are.




Have you tried these yet? What are your favorite shades?

Always apply Spackle under the eye. Your concealer will go on easier and it helps prevent creasing.


My Thoughts:
I think I found the primer of my dreams! My makeup lasted all day in this hot summer heat. I didn't end up looking like an oily french fry. My makeup didn't fade or crease.  Makes my skin feel soft moisturized. Most importantly this product didn't cause me to break out which is a huge plus! Overall I would purchase this product over and over again.
