Haul: Sleek Cosmetics. And Pics!!

The main reason why I'm so excited about this haul is because I originally though Sleek Cosmetics could only be purchased in the UK.  I think I was watching a youtube.com video where someone else from the states had hauled some Sleek goodies.  I'm so excited to try them out!  Here are some pics of my haul.  The only think that would make me happier is to be able to buy Barry M!

On a side note, the shipping was very expensive.  I ended up paying $13.50 for shipping to the U.S. :(

Face Contour Kit in Medium. 
I may get the light next time around, this seems pretty dark.

Face & Body Highlighter in Gold Digga. 
Again, this seems pretty dark, so I think the next time I order I'll get another one of their shades.  I think they were sold out, so I just got the one that was available.

Storm i-Divine Palette
These palettes look much bigger on the computer screen.  Even so, they are beautiful in person!

Bad Girl i-Divine Palette
I love the dark colors!  Can't wait to get some swatches!

Review: Wet N' Wild 8 Palette! Pics & Swatches too!!


I absolutely love these!  But I think I love them more since they are affordable.  If you haven't heard, Wet N' Wild is releasing these 8 palettes in only Walmart & Walgreens.  My Walgreens did not stock these, so I picked them up on ebay.com.  I think they are retailing for 4.99, but don't quote me on that.  There are three palettes:  Petal Pusher, Blue had me at hello, and comfort Zone.   


COMFORT ZONE
This has to be the most pigmented of the three.  Even though these are neutrals and usually quite boring, these are beautiful colors!  I only needed one swipe of my finger to get a beautiful and pigmented swatch.  The shadows are mostly very creamy feeling and are a great quality eyeshadow!


BLUE HAD ME AT HELLO
 I think I'm quite afraid of blues, but this palette is just stunning.  Again, very pigmented, just like comfort zone.  The only shadow that really dissapointed me in the palette was the black with glitter.  The glitter easily rubbs off.  Either way, all the other colors in this set were not a disappointment.


PETAL PUSHER
 I've been drawn to purples lately, so I was really excited about this set.  Unfortunately, for me, this was the least pigmented.  The colors are beautiful, but not as vibrant as the other two.


I hope you get a change to pick these up!  Have a great day!

Review: Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup

A couple of days ago I was watching some youtube.com videos when I stumbled upon a video by guru MissChievous.  She mentioned in one of her videos Neutrogena's healthy skin liquid makeup.  She purchased the makeup because she had heard that it was a great dupe for a NARS liquid makeup, not sure which one.  I personally, have always used MAC liquid makeup and until recently been experimenting with other brands.  I thought I would give it a try.  I am very glad that I did!

Even though I have only used it for several days, I am so impressed that I just needed to share the news.  The foundation is light, yet provides good coverage.  I would say medium coverage.  It's about 11:30pm here in Texas and I first put on my foundation early this morning.  My skin still looks flawless yet feels as if I'm not wearing any makeup.  I just looked in the mirror and I can't believe that my oil hasn't shown through.  I'm only only in the t-zone, but even with my MAC foundation, I can begin to see the oil creeping up around my nose and forehead.

If you are looking for a great drugstore brand foundation, try this one!  I'll probably give a more in depth review after wearing the foundation for several more weeks, but I was too excited about it to wait!  I only paid about $9 for this foundation and that's way less expensive than my other trusty foundation.  Awesome!

Thanks for reading!
xoxo
