Wet N Wild | Queen of My Heart Collection

Stay royally wild and get ready to rule this spring with Wet n Wild's Spring (limited edition) Collection: Queen of My Heart. Right now on their webite, wetnwildbeauty.com, they have this entire set for $29 not including shipping. If you were to buy each item separately, it'd cost around $43 or more. Included in the set are: 3 eyeshadow palettes, 3 lip/cheek tints, 2 highlighters, a lip palette, and a kabuki brush.

I think Wet N Wild carries the absolute best drugstore highlighters. I don't think they've ever put out a highlighter that was just "meh". They are all amazing and high quality for a very affordable price. This is still true with their new Megaglo Highlighters in The Sweetest Bling (pink) and Lilac to Reality (purple). 

These highlighters are perfect for those who love color and love a beaming highlight. If you are more into subtle glow-from-within looking highlights, these may not be for you. As you can probably tell from the swatches, these highlighters are pretty metallic. I recommend these as they are perfect for spring and they'll have your cheekbones visible from space. Individually, the Megaglo highlighters retail for $4.99.

The next item is WNW's Kabuki brush. This is an update from their previous Kabuki brush, but now it is made with the same synthetic bristles as their ever-popular Cruelty-Free brushes. The hairs are extremely soft and densely packed. Plus, who doesn't love pink?? The Kabuki brush retails for $3.99. 

Wet N Wild also released 3 new Megaglo Cheek & Lip Tints. From Left to Right are: Crush Upon a Time, Kiss Me If You Can, and Flirt On The Street. These have a creamy, moisturizing formula that will leave a nice tint of color on your lips and cheeks. Monochromatic makeup is huge in 2017, so these are perfect to help acheive that look. 

Above are swatches of each Megaglo Cheek & Lip Tint. Each stick retails for $4.99.

Also included in the collection is a 16 piece lip gloss palette called From Heart to Finish. The Perfect Pout Palette gives you so many options, completing any makeup look will be a breeze. 

From Heart to Finish has a handy dual sided lip brush as well so there's no need to dip your fingers in the glosses. I love that! There's also a bit of space near the lip brush so if you wanted to mix and customize colors, you have space to do that. This lip palette retails for $5.99.

The last 3 items included in the Queen of My Heart collection are Color Icon eyeshadow trios. From Left to Right are: Heart and Heavy, Will You Marina Me, and Hieroglyphic Heart. Each trio retails for $2.99.

Will You Marina Me looks just like a beach. The eyelid and crease colors are a satin finish, with the browbone being a shimmer.

Heart and Heavy is a romantic trio of purple and pink. The browbone color is a shimmer, the crease color is overall matte with a few flecks of shimmer, and the eyelid color is a satin.

The last Color Icon trio, and my personal favorite is Heiroglyphic Heart. The browbone color is a  shimmer, the crease color is a soft matte, and the eyelid color is a surprisingly pigmented shimmer.

The Queen of My Heart collection is a beautiful one. I love each item included, and highly recommend. Especially since you can pick up the entire collection for under $30 bucks. Yes, Wet N Wild is a drugstore brand, but their products are of an amazing quality so don't overlook them!

Cween Turns 25 | Birthday Haul

As I'm writing this, it's Mid-October. My birthday was back in Mid-September. Which means, YES I certaintly do take celebrating my birthday MONTH seriously. This years haul, compared to last, is almost excusively makeup products. Last year I got clothes and other things because I had an entire weekend to celebrate. This year was low key. My birthday was on a Tuesday, and nothing was going on. That being said, I got a number of freebies and some other items I purchased myself!

I love cinnamon scented everything so these candles were nice. I also like "outdoorsy" scents as well so I was glad to get a candle that smells like trees.

These next items I purchased myself. This fall I am very into purple lips (and eyes). So I picked up Wet N Wild's: MegaEyes Creme Eyeliner in Eggplant, MegaSlicks Lip Gloss in That's My Jam, MegaLast Lip Color in Sugar Plum Fairy, and MegaLast Lip Color in Ravin' Rasin. I also have a thing for peachy lips for day to day so I also got: Glassy Gloss Lip Gel in 3 2 1 Glass-t Off!, and a Silk Finish Lipstick in Sunset Peach.

These  brushes I was gifted by Wet N Wild specifically for my  birthday (thank you WNW!). Included in their Essential Brush set are: an angled liner brush, a crease brush, a contour brush, and a small eyeshadow brush. I absolutely adore these brushes! So cute and girly, plus these were sold out for the longest time, so receiving them as a gift was very appreciated.

The next set of goodies were also all freebies. If you're a rewards member with Ulta you get a free eyeshadow from Urban Decay in Midnight Cowboy. The shade is stun-ning btw. From Sephora you get free deluxe samples from Marc Jacobs if you are a part of their rewards progam too. Included is a mini Le Marc Lip Creme Lipstick in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and a mini Beauty Highliner Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner in Blacquer. 

Sephora had pretty nice samples when I shopped their site. I chose samples of Urban Decay's Primer Potion, and samples of Anastasia Beverly Hills DipBrow pomade. I've always wanted to try both so I was happy about these. 

I needed some new nail polishes, so I shopped Sephora.com. I am obsessed with holographic and duo-crome nails and was pleased Sephora had some affordable options. I picked up: Formula X The Effects in Determined, Ciate London Mini Paint Pot in Deco Delight, and NAILS INC Fibre Optic in Hampstead Court. I also picked up some Kiss nail glue and Gel Fantasy nails from Walgreens. 

Also from Walgreens I was very excited to find they carried Tattoo Junkie Lip Paints. This is another item that is often sold out, and everytime I checked my local Walgreens, they didn't have it in stock. Of course I picked up the shade Whatever, because purple. I also got Wet N Wild's limited edition Coloricon Matte Liquid Lipstick in Don't Be A Plum Plum.

Glitter lips is also a trend I wanted to try, and the formula of both the liquid lip and glitter are top notch. Even better they are affordable.

The final items I purchased for myself were some things from Poshmark and Ebay. From Poshamrk I found this mark Bohista Suedeshadow Eye Quad in Exotic. This has been discontinued for a long time and my old one was damaged, but this is the perfect everyday fall eyeshadow palette. I also found on Ebay, the matching mark Bohista Suedeshine Lip Quad. I also picked up a selfie fan, because it's so necessary. And a selfie light. 

The last gift I got was from my son. He picked out this adorable bracelet, which is actually a lip gloss. This is by far my favorite gift, and I've been wearing it everywhere. 

Happy Birthday to me, and I am kind of sad my birthday month is over lol.
