FOTD: Purple Lips!

Hello, dolls! I woke up this morning feeling like complete crap (took a sleeping pill too late) and was in desperate need of a fabulous lipstick to perk up my day! For the look, I wanted it to be all about the lips with a defined, but not dramatic eye. I was also pleasantly surprised that when I got home from furniture and home decor shopping that my makeup still looked nice and my lips still had some color-with no touch-ups throughout the day!

Face: Revlon Whipped Foundation (in Buff), Maybelline Eraser (in Fair & Brightener), Revlon Colorstay Blemish Concealer (in Light).

Eyes: Coastal Scents Hot Pots: Peach Puff (inner third of my eyelid), Peach- previously known as S33 (on the rest of my lid), Midnight Rodeo (with a light hand I wedge this in my crease), Dreamsicle (all along my lower lash line), and Sundried (on the outer half of my lash line). I lined my upper lash line with Almay's Intense i-Color Liquid Liner (in Brown Topaz). I used two coats of Maybelline's Falsies Mascara (in Blackest Black).

Brows: Maybelline Expert Eyes Twin Eye and Brow Pencil (in Blonde)

Cheeks: I mixed Elf's Mellow Mauve and Milani's Corallina.

Lips: I layered Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick (in 660, Berry Haute) and JordanaTwist & Shine (in 06, Cranberry Crush).

The Goods...

Don't mind the swatches. I bought two lip colors at Marshall's and wanted to see what they looked like. Chevy wanted to join in on the swatch party! 

FOTD: Rediscovered Products

I was totally inspired to use some old pink finds when I saw Emily Noel's Gloss Daily post on great summer eyeshadows. None of the shadows I've used are ones she mentioned, but it was nice to shop my stack for some great spring shades. Some of the things I've used are discontinued, but hopefully this will inspire you to shop your stash and rediscover some amazing products.

 About the Look

 Because I used pinks on the eyes, lips and as a highlight, I wanted to keep the skin flawless and natural. I typically don't use Wet-n-Wild blush in Mellow Wine in the Spring/Summer because I love my bright pinks during those months, but because this was already a pretty pink look, I decided to warm up the skin using a deeper mauve color. I know the blush color isn't showing up well in the picture, but it sure packs a punch in real life. For eyes, I used Morning Light on the inner part of my lid and then sweeped the pink shade in the Strawberry Fudge duo over the rest of my lid and blended a little of the pink into the golden champagne shade I laid down first. I used the top shade in the In the Buff quad as a highlight and then used the third shade in the quad to blend the colors and add a little contour to my crease. I didn't smudge any shade under my eye because I liked the easiness of leaving it bare. I then used a dark brown eye liner to add definition, but still keep the look soft. Lastly, I added two coats of mascara.  

Update: Wet-n-Wild Coverall Cream Foundation broke me out!

Hello, Pretties! A few weeks ago I reviewed the Wet-n-Wild Coverall Cream Foundation and mentioned that the coverage was pretty good and for the price, it couldn't be beat! Well, sadly, I started breaking out a week ago and had a sneaky suspicion that the foundation was to blame. I was right! I quit using the products and the blemishes went away. I should also note that I was on Spring Break (reading, not partying- Lame!) so I wasn't stressed and I wasn't on my monthly!

How does this change my thoughts?
If you have acne prone skin (like I do), I'd say to pass on this foundation. Yeah, the price is great but breakouts aren't cute! If you don't have acne prone skin, you may like this foundation.

Review: Wet-n-Wild Coverall Cream Foundation

I recently picked up Wet-n-Wild's new Coverall Cream Foundation. I saw EmilyNoel83's review on Youtube and just had to check it out for myself. Click here to see her review! I did a FOTN post earlier today and I was wearing this foundation in that picture. This line is part of their permanent collection. 

Does it really cover all imperfections?

Judging by the name, you may think that this foundation covers all dark spots, pigmentation, blemishes and other imperfections. I found the coverage to be medium, but definitely buildable without being cakey. I still needed a little under eye concealer and some concealer on only blemishes at the moment. 

The claims...

• All day wear.
• Medium to full coverage.
• Lightweight, satin-matte finish.
• VisiBright complex reduces the appearance of wrinkles and rejuvenates skin.

Price: $3.99 at my CVS 

The Formula...

This is a thicker texture that provides medium coverage. It doesn't get cakey, as I've mentioned. It blends beautifully and has a natural finish. I have combination skin and after about 4 hours my t-zone got a bit oily, but it wasn't really that bad. Honestly, even though a bit of oil peeped through, I didn't touch up because it gave my skin a nice dewy look that I like. Although, I am pretty sure that in the summer months, I'll need to touch up (but that's typical for me using any foundation). 

My shade: 816 Fair/Light. This color matches me pretty well...dare I say exact?!

I am not big into silver eyeshadow, but I wanted to try something new. 

Face: Wet-n-Wild Coverall Foundation (816 Fair/Light), 

Hard Candy Heavy Duty Concealer (Light), Elf Blush (Mellow Mauve).

Eyes: Wet-n-Wild single eyeshadow (Platinum on lid and Brulee on browbone),

Overall Thoughts...

I think this is a pretty good foundation and you really can't beat the price. The staying power is pretty good and I like how natural it looks, yet it evens out the skin. I would definitely recommend this foundation!
