~FOTD~ Wet N' Wild Fauna Collection....

Today, I played with the Wet N' Wild Fauna Collection...... I was kind of excited...after I swatched the shadows, the colors looked gorgeous! I even liked the gloss swatch! lol!

The Fauna Collection includes:

Eyeshadow trio 33830 Fauna
Blusher 831E Pearlescent Pink
Glassy Gloss lip gel 311 A Glass Confusion
Fast Dry 227C Teal Or No Teal


I used everything, every color, except for the polish, Teal or No Teal, which I already own. It was in that 2011 Summer Nail Pail they had and its a permanent color.

Excuse all the highlight under my brows...I'm trying to perfect that sculpted brow look but I'm have trouble finding the perfect concealer to do it with. I swear, when it comes to learning makeup techniques, I'm on the lowest reading level, it takes me forever to get something right. smh....

I just did the diagram on the shadows, purple on the lid, teal in the crease, yellow-gold highlight on the brow bone. I only used UD Primer Potion on the lid before applying and the pigmentation of all three colors is great. However, they are HELL to blend, so get your elbow grease ready!!!

The gloss had a hint of color once it hit my lips but not much. The color reminds me of a old MAC lipglass I was crazy about called Morning Glory. I went thru like two tubes of that.:)

If you had to choose between Flora and Fauna.....get Fauna. Fauna was more usable for me than Floral.


Do you own this collection? Let me know!

~Fresh Coat~ Sinful Colors Morning Star....

Hey Everyone!!

Today I'm wearing on my nails Sinful Colors Morning Star. I got this at Walgreens, $1.99....a picture of the display that it is on is below....:)

Two coats of Morning Star is perfect. Its between opaque and sheer...actually that's perfect to me. Its photographs a bit sheer but it looks opaque in natural light. One coat would have probably made it opaque.

I also have it on my toes:/. I don't know how I feel about blue toe nails. Its a little too "young" for my taste. I'm NOT adventurous when it comes to my feet. I like the standard pinks, reds, and nudes. I can't even tell you why. *shrugs*

Morning  Star is part of the Sheer Shimmer Collection. It does have a low cast of golden pink shimmer, very subtle. Morning Star is definitely  purchase from this collection!!

~FOTD~ Wet N' Wild LE Flora Collection Look....

As promised, here is the first of two FOTD on the Wet N' Wild Flora and Fauna Collections. If you don't know how the sets look in stores, here's a picture below....

Also, check out my post of the swatches of the trio, blush and gloss in this post....CLICK HERE!!

 Flora consists of:
Eye shadow trio #33829 Flora
Blusher 833E Mellow Wine
Glassy Gloss lip gel 314A Mow the Glass
Fast Dry 33599 Twining Vines

I knew I wasn't going to use the gloss. It's too sheer, almost clear for my taste. I also didn't use the polish...I'll save that for another post.

I used an eye shadow base and a bronze cream shadow, just to see if I could give that shadow a bit of lift since the swatches were pretty sheer....

I did the yellow shade from the inner eye to the middle and orange on the outer corner of the eye. I used a line brush with MAC Fix + and applied the green shade on the bottom lash line. The yellow and orange barely showed up on me, even with a base and heavy packing on the color.

The idea of the three colors is beautiful, but I didn't get much color payout with the shades other the green which was applied wet.

I love that blush, which I think is a permanent color...not sure.

~Fresh Coat~ New Sinful Colors Spotted & Mini Haul.....

Hey Everyone!!

I was in Walgreens on Sunday, and spotted two "new" Sinful Colors polish displays. Now, ya'll know how SC does it ( maybe you don't but I'll tell you.:)). Sinful Colors will do a funky display and you will think its new colors but its all re-promotes OR a mix of new and re-promotes. *Deep sigh* So, when I saw this display, my mind went bonkers! "I haven't seen these displays on any blog!" "Did I miss a post on these colors?!?!" "Are they re-promotes?!?!" "Are they new??!"


I still don't know...so I kept an open mind.

Color Block looked pretty but skipped any purchase of these....

Sheer Summer Collection ( hope they are not really sheer.:/)....looks a bit like some of the colors of that OPI Holland Collection....chime in if you know something. Sinful Colors will do "inspired" colors of another company's collection, I'm just sayin' #noshade.

I got Cinderella and Morning Star...then had the nerve to walk over to the SC main display to see if the colors were over there. smh.


Stay tuned for Fresh Coat posts of both colors!!:)))
