Wet 'n' Wild Walking On Eggshells Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio Review + Swatches!

Today I am reviewing an eyeshadow trio by Wet 'n' Wild! My friend got it from me from Hawaii and I was so excited because I heard so much about it. 





 I know that Wet 'n' Wild is an inexpensive brand and I believe that this trio retails for around $3. I believe that this is available at any drugstores and Ulta. 

There are three colors and this is probably one of the neutral ones that they have. Color labeled 'Brow bone is a light shimmery white color', 'crease' is a golden brown' and 'eyelid' is a light pink color. The colors are very complimentary to each other and I really like that they labelled the colors to where they recommend to put it on. Although you don't HAVE to follow it it's still nice if you're a beginner. 

The pigmentation is AMAZING! It's so smooth and buttery, it's the smoothest and butteriest (is that even a word?) eyeshadow I have in my collection. I found that the lightest color labelled 'brow bone' is the most smoothest and most pigmented. All of the shadows don't have any fall out and the eyeshadows last a long time on my eyes. 

Overall I am so incredibly happy with this and I recommend is to everyone! It's also so inexpensive and just amazing! I would really like to try the other shades but unfortunately we don't have Wet 'n' Wild here in Japan :(

Anyway, onto the pictures and swatches!

Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Liner Review + Swatch

Hello again, this is yet again another product review :) 
I've posted a lot today but I'm on a roll! Anyway today it features a drugstore product (in the States). It is not available in Japan but I got this product while I was in California. I purchased this at Target but I'm sure it's available at other drugstores. 

The Maybelline Line Stiletto is a liquid liner which helps you create a nice line on the upper lash line



This product is very pigmented and it helps me create a nice crisp line on the upper lash line. As I mentioned a couple of times in my last posts (my current favorites series), I love winged out liner. It's sort of my statement look because it's so easy to create (for me, with a LOT of practice) and it looks really good. I feel like liquid liner is the best to create that kind of look because it looks good and it's really quick to do. 

As for the brush, it's a felt tip brush applicator. It's long and skinny but it doesn't taper out to a really fine tip like some Japanese liquid liners do which I thought was interesting. Although I don't find that to be a problem with me because I can still create a thin line with it.

The consistency is nice because it's not too liquidy. It also dries fast and it dries to a slightly shiny finish. Now, I'm not a big fan of that so I like to set that liquid liner with a matte black eyeshadow. I find that it lasts longer as well as giving it a more matte look which I like better.

All in all I really like this liquid liner. If you're looking for a good inexpensive liquid liner, this is the way to go.
