N.O.T.D: OPI The "It" Color....

Tuesday, July 21, 2009

I bought OPI The 'It' Color back in February, I think. I got it at Trade Secrets out of the 75% basket....

(pic with flash) The true color is actually "school bus" yellow. Golden yellow.

( pic w/o flash)...I did the design myself. Just playing around.:)

Review: Wet N' Wild Idol Eyes Creme Shadow Pencil

Wednesday, July 15, 2009

Hey Folks!!

So, I grabbed two Wet N' Wild Idol Eyes Creme Eye Shadow Pencils in Electro(blue) and Envy( Green) from CVS via $5.50 in Extra Bucks. I was going to buy a magazine but saw them on a display in the shampoo aisle *shrugs shoulders* and decided the pick them up.

They were $1.99 a piece.



This pic is my busted eyebrows that I need to get at... lol!... and the Idol Eyes Pencil in Envy by itself. I didn't base my eye because I wanted to see how they held up...


I use a green from one of my Santee palettes and a white color shadow on the brow bone to tie in the look...


Final Look.
Well, I can say that they CREASE. Even under an eye shadow, within three hours I had major "crease-age". Normally, any eye shadow pencil from a cheapie to a MAC Shadestick is good for a base but these didn't hold up. But the pigment is gorgeous and I can't wait to use the Electro( blue) colored one. *sigh* And I was planning on copping the other colors.
Have you tried these? What do you think?
