Wet N Wild Glossy Gloss

A few weeks ago I found the endcap display containing the new Wet N Wild 8 pans, and a few other products as well.  I cleaned out the new palettes and held a giveaway on my YouTube channel, but I decided to go back and take a look at some of the other products in the display.  I ended up purchasing 2 of the new Glossy Gloss shades so I thought I'd share some pictures with you.

 

L-Frost Bitten, R-A Glass Of Shine

 

A Glass Of Shine is a little out of my comfort zone, but I thought it might be fun and nice for Christmas.  I was hoping Frost Bitten would be more opaque, a true gold gloss.  Unfortuantely these have a strong (to me) floral and sort of chemical smell.  So much so that I don't think I could even wear these.  I'm very odd about scents and when I don't like something it tends to make me nauseous.  These were only $2.99 each at Walgreens, so not sure I'll return them.

 

Have you picked up anything from the new displays? 

 

 

 



FOTD

I thought I'd do a FOTD post today. When I gathered all the products I used so I could take a picture, it was a little overwhelming seeing them all together. It seems like a LOT. I'm not the best photographer, and I don't seem to photograph well, but here's the look I'm sporting today.

I know this second one is a luttle blurry, but I like it better. :)  Now for all the products I used-

These aren't arranged by the order I apply them, but I'm going to list them that way. I start off with my Lacura foundation in Transparent, which I apply with one of the flat top Elf powder brushes (slightly damp). Then I use my Maybelline Super Stay concealer in Ivory where it's needed. I used a tiny bit of the Coty Airspun powder, just to set things under my eyes, across my cheeks, and the tip of my nose and chin. Today I grabbed Wet N Wild's mineral blush in Purely Mauve and applied that with the 2nd flat top Elf powder brush. Threw some of the Elf clear gel in my brows, and some of the LA Splash shadow base/sealer on my lids (it's the very last thing on the right).  The main palette I used for my eyes is the LA Colors one. Here's a closeup with better lighting-

I purchased this at Dollar Tree probably 2 years ago. I have I think 6 of these palettes. For $1 I can't believe the pigmentation. It's incredible!

After I slapped on 4 of the colors in the LA Colors I palette I used the top right shade from I ♥ Matte to blend, the top left shade for a highlight and slapped on some black liner and mascara. I've been using Urban Decay's Zero on my top lashline and a waterproof Rimmel liner on my waterline (which never stays so I don't know why I use it). I usually never layer mascaras, but today I did a sweep of Rimmel Wow Lash and then a coat of L'Oreal Voluminous False Fiber Lashes (but for some odd reason I grabbed the Rimmel Volume Accelerator for the picture).  I'm not much of a lip product wearer, which sounds odd considering I have probably at LEAST 100 lip products. Seriously.  Most of the time I just have Blistex Lip Medex on my lips (in the blue pot).

That's it for my FOTD.  Seeing it all and typing it all out seems like a LOT of products to me. I guess since I grab a few things at a time while I'm doing my makeup I never realized how many things I actually use every day. How about you? Do you use a lot of products daily when doing your makeup?

My 2 week old manicure

On either December 15th or 16th I did my nails. I haven't had to do them again since. I have NEVER had a manicure last this long. I usually get 5 or 6 days out of one and then it's all chippy and time to change it. I'm sure this is just some kind of freak thing, and it will probably never happen again. First, let me show you what products I used.

I always use Sally Hansen Double Duty Stregthening Base and Top Coat as my base coat. Next I applied one coat of Zoya Dove. After that I applied one coat of Wet N Wild Spoiled Shuffle The Deck, and then immediately applied Seche Vite.  And this is what my nails look like today, 2 weeks later.

This is my left hand. You can see I messed up a little on the middle and ring fingers when I applied the top coat, but I have done NO touchups on this in the 2 weeks I've been wearing it.

This is my right hand. Again, no touchups. Taking a picture of your right hand with your left hand when you're right-handed is very interesting!

The only chip that I really have is this one, on the corner of my right thumbnail:

Normally Zoya pretty much just chips right off on me. I'm lucky if I can go 12-24 hours before that happens. For this to last 2 weeks is amazing to me.  Of course with New Year's coming up I want to change my polish to something blingtastic, but I'm curious if I were to leave this on, how long would it be before I HAD to change it?
