Dark, Sultry look w/ Wet N Wild trio

So about a month ago,

I snagged another trio from Wet N Wild at my local CVS.

This one is a trio of black, white, and red,

called 'Three's A Party!'

Using the suggested areas for each shadow this first time,

(for simplicity & more mass appeal)

I did a look with it:

 

:P

I used:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

'Three's A Party!' trio

Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara

Maybelline 'Red Revival' & 'Plum Perfect 'lipstick

Lime Crime Carousel Gloss in 'Candy Apple'

This combo is nothing new.

In fact, I've used it at least two other times in the past year alone.

However, for this first time using the trio,

I wanted to use the shadows in their traditional spots.

As it turns out, I think the combo is sick

and looks super sexy ;)

Gotta love 'Candy Apple' with this look, too.

What do you guys think?!

Nail Mail & a look with new Wet N Wild trio

So I recently discovered Pop Culture Cosmetics & their amazinggggg polishes.

When I saw that they had a collection centered around fairies,

I knew that I obviously had to buy at least some of them!

They had a great deal on choose 5 minis,

So I went with that.

Be sure to stay tuned for these gorgeous bad boys in the near future!

Anyways, onwards to the look.

If you saw the post the other day,

I recent;y scooped up a couple of the new Wet N Wild trios.

Today I did a look with 'I'm Seeing Triples!'

I tried to do the look according to how the trio suggested initially,

just out of curiosity. 

Here's what I got:

Hooray!

I really loved these shadows.

I couldn't believe how pigmented they were!

Granted, I did use NYX Jumbo Eye pencil in Milk as a primer, but still...

Also, they blended wonderfully together!

Fantastic quality for the price.

Can't wait to try the rest!

What are your thoughts?

Mini Drugstore Haul

So I finally made a much anticipated trip to my local Walgreens,

and picked up a few great goodies:

Wooo!

My goal was to find some of the new Wet N Wild trios,

and I decided on these two (they were out of the other one I would have gotten, humph).

First up is 'Your 15 Minutes Aren't Up!'

*swatched without primer*

Odd name for a trio, but the shadows look pretty good.

Next is 'I'm Seeing Triples!'

*swatched without primer*

These are a bit bolder, and also look promising.

Both trios are mattes.

Stay tuned for looks and a review of them in the near future!

Also,

my daughter is almost 2 and OBSESSED with anything fairies.

SO, when I say NOPI had a Tinkerbell collection,

I obviously had to buy at least a couple.

Two very tame, lovely pinks by the looks of it.

I'll have a full post and swatches of at least one of these bad boys tomorrow :)

What do you guys think?

What have your experiences been with the new Wet N Wild trios?

Let me know! :)

Blue trio from Sephora palette

It's Monday :/ Just 3 more days until my Spring semesters starts.

Then I'm afraid I won't be able to blog as regularly,

but we'll see!

Okay, as promised, I have the first look for you today using my new Sephora Smokey Studio ll palette.
The palette is technically designed to be used in pre-set trios,
so even though I doubt I'll usually use them that way,
I decided to attempt a few looks with their suggested trios.

Here's the first look, using a trio from part 1.

Here's the trio:

As you can see,

it's comprised of a lovely, shimmery white, a bright & bold blue (which initially drew me to pick this trio),

and a dark blue with glitter.

The look is nothing super special or creative,

but it gave me an idea of what the shadows were like,

since I had never used any Sephora shadows before.

All in all, my first experience with these shadows was great!

I did use a primer, but the pigmentation was still great & they were pretty easy to blend.

Stay tuned later this week for look #2!

:D
