Wet N Wild is LIFE!- Lipstick Gold


I've posted quite a few times about looks i created using Wet N Wild products. Their eyeshadows are AMAZING. They're super pigmented, some are dupes for high end brands, i can find any color my makeup loving heart desires and let's not forget that they're extra affordable! At no more than $6 per palette at walgreens, walmart, target, cvs, rite aid, and that's just the stores i've been to.... you really can't lose with Wet N Wild.


I found myself bypassing all other brands and heading straight to the Wet N Wild 5' section when doing my mandatory stroll of the cosmetics section of any store i'm in. I now will swear by the gel liner pot, the fergie collection eye primer and the color icon liners. But there is one product that stands out like a bedazzled fanny pack... the Mega Last Lipstick collection!

Listen, lipstick is kind of a big deal for me. Like... it sets the mood... it finishes your face..  brows, lashes and lipstick are my staples... and these lipsticks are like GOLD! There's a wide range of colors from nudes, to pinks, to purples to reds and even a couple of orange shades. They finish matte when blotted (which is a must), they last for forever, they're very pigmented so fading is almost unheard of (esp with the deeper colors), they come in some fairly sleek little tubes and... They cost no more than $2!!!! Not a joke. The highest i've seen them priced is $1.99 ! Insane right?! Right! I didn't even realize how obsessed with this lipstick that i was until i organized my makeup case and realized that i had somewhere between 15 and 20. I shop them and find that i already own most of the shades and then when i grab one that i think won't be anything special, it blows me away! (That's actually happened twice now). But yea, it's an amazing product, extra low cost and soooo my fav product by a company that i frequently refer to as "life". Just in case you're still not convinced that you should report to your nearest drugstore and grab alllll of these lipsticks, here are some pics of some of my faves....

Red Anyone?..... YES PLEASE!

Well, let's just start off by saying that my absolute favorite color is red... It always has been, and tho I do love other colors, it always will be. So anyhoo...
The last few days have been the first in a little while that I've dolled this face up after a week of no makeup at all. I've mixed it up and whatnot, but 3 days have consisted of my lover color RED! Dope right?.... absolutely!
This past saturday, my oldest boy had a pop warner football game and his team colors just so happen to be RED black and white... I felt it to be very appropriate for mommy to represent the best way she knew how so I grabbed my makeup bag and MAC brushes on the way out of the door and in the car, I made a little magic...










Yesterday was my monday at work... the actual monday was spent taking care of important affairs... so anyway, I wore a little black dress (u know, the kind that's dinner, dancing and/or work appropriate?) and I busted out my fave red shoes (ps the only other red shoes I own are a pair of patent leather steve madden mary jane/ toe killers and some high top chuck taylors... yes i am a thug part-time. hahaha) so anyhoo, I had found these red open-toe booties at.. wait for it..... burlington mutha fuckin coat factory for $12! hahahahahahahaha! well, they're magical and I plan to wear them until the wheels fall off... So these little gems needed to be matched up with something hot and, even tho the dress is fairly hot, the look would not be complete without... dun dun duuuuuh a red smokey eye! the kind that starts with black and then has red over it to create a deep and dark look that makes ppl look twice and think (is that red?) yes ppl, it's red... on a work day... and it doesn't look costumey...
Here's the magic i'm talking about


Last up, we have today (that doesn't mean this is the last time I'm going to work red into my makeup... I mean, let's get real ppl). When I go black and white with my wardrobe (which, after being pregnant, i'm noticing is a lot more often than it used to be) I like to toss in some awesome color on my face... usually it's with bright eye makeup, but I also have become accustomed to making magic with a bright lip.. preferably pink or red... and usually when the lips r bright, the eye is fairly toned down... but just like I've said before, some days u gotta say Why Not? and Smoke It Out! Today was one of those days and I decided to combine a classic smokey eye (just black) and a RED lip... I feel like a star.. from the neck up of course. hahahahaha!.....















The first look included BH Cosmetics eye shadow, Mary Kay Liquid liner, Mary Kay TimeWise foundation, Mary Kay Mineral cheek color as well as Mary Kay Mineral bronzing powder, and Kiss lashes #05.
The second look included Mary Kay Mineral eye color in Coal, BH cosmetics eye shadow, Mary Kay Liquid eye liner, Mary Kay TimeWise foundation, Mary Kay Mineral cheek color, Mary Kay NouriShine Plus lip gloss, and Kiss lashes #05.
