Wet n Wild Comfort Zone Palette


I thought I'd take a step back from throwing Christmas spirit everywhere, and do a bit of a makeup review. That's why I first started blogging as well as my favourite part.

I bought the Wet n Wild Comfort Zone palette back in September when I was in Florida because, frankly, I'd seen it everywhere prior to my trip. Every makeup collection video, monthly favourites, hauls; it was EVERYWHERE! Naturally, I had to pick it up.


The eyeshadows themselves are very nicely pigmented, I find that a little colour goes a long way.  Their formulation is very soft and buttery, some more so than others. I like how the packaging is very basic; the lip is just a piece of clear plastic. It allows me to see the colours straight away, I don't have to flaff around and open the lid to see them. Yes, I'm that lazy. There are no shade names in the Wet n Wild palettes which makes this next part very hard.You get eight shadows in the palettte, four bronze tones and four green tones. 


Starting on the bronze shade side, the first is a Brow-bone colour which is a soft beige that pulls a bit more yellow and a frost finish. Next is a the main Eyelid colour which is a very warm neutral copper colour with a frost finish, followed by the Crease colour which is the perfect bronze colour, also a frost finish, for this time of year. Last for the bronze colours is the Definer colour, that is a burgundy brown colour with more of a shimmer finish. You can see that is definitely more visible glitter particles in the shadow than the others.


On the green shade side, the Brow-bone colour is a light taupe shade with a frost finish. I found it had to describe and actually googled colours until I found the most similar. The Eyeild colour is a very vibrant spring green colour that is also a frost finish. The Crease colour is a deep, dark olive green with a shimmer finish. The Definer colour is my favourite. It looks like it is just plain teal but it swatches a deep reddish brown with a teal duo chrome finish. So different to anything else I own!


I didn't use this palette too much before this post, but now I feel like I have a new found appreciation for it. I especially love the duochrome definer colour, it is quite literally amazing. I seems like it would be a good everyday palette, if I were to use it more. I definitely want more Wet n Wild palettes. I will have to keep an eye out when I'm back stateside in June.


That definer shade though!

MAC: Fraud or Not?

It's getting to the time of year when  people start gathering together all there gifts in the rush to the holiday season. They start trying to get the best gifts possible for the best price they can. Unfortunately that leaves them vulnerable for people to take advantage of them. The most common form of this is through the use of counterfeit goods.  Recently a MAC lipstick was purchased for me, as a Christmas gift, from eBay. When I learned of it I was immediately sceptical and dubious of how genuine it was; I like to research into the item and view the pictures available myself. When I checked the listing, the lipstick was listed as 'MAC Amplified Creme Lipstick'. Upon looking at the details and the images available, I noticed that there were very few specifics and one general image of the lipstick with the lid off. I immediately wrote to the seller asking for pictures of the bottom label on the box and the lipstick tube (Well as details such as finish and shade). I kn...

Totally Fabby MAC Lipstick!

I'm in the middle of shopping for new products; sort of preparing for the transition from winter to spring. Instead of picking up deep burgundies and warm chocolates, I have started to pick up pastel pinks and vanillas. I cannot wait of the warmer weather to roll in.  MAC frost lipstick in the shade Fabby was one of those new seasonal additions I picked up recently. Fabby is a really muted rosy pink shade with a frost finish. The draw point, for me, is the frost sheen gives kind of a golden overlay to the lips. The golden tone just adds an extra dimension, and helps brighten up any makeup look.  For being a frost finish, the colour pigmentation is quite opaque with a single swipe. The texture is not that creamy, and I don't mean that in a bad way. I'd describe it more as very similar to that of a MAC matte finish; creamy and not glossy. I feel that Fabby is one of MACs more overlooked shades; passed over in favour of the more hyped about lipstic...

Barry M Colour Changing Lip Paint in Neptune

Remember way, way back, back to the very beginning of my blog. One of the very first products that I reviewed was the Barry M Lip Paint in the shade Genie. For those who don't know, Genie is an unusual colour changing lipstick. While it looks green in the tube, it turns a shade of pink on the lips that is supposed to be different for each person. It is supposed to be a result of the lipstick reacting to the alkaline level of the lips.
