My Mini WetnWild Haul + Mini Review!

Hi there! My gosh… I can’t believe I was not able to blog for so long. My January to February schedule has been sooo C-R-A-Z-Y!! I cannot wait to finish all the things that I need to do so that I can blog regularly again. I have so many stuff to tell you guys that they keep on piling and looking at my makeup storage makes me feel anxious. I have a lot of unopened stuff ad things that I haven’t used but and has been sitting there for almost a month. I just wish I have more time! For the meantime, I have this clever idea that instead of reviewing one item, I decided to group them especially if I got them together and then add a short review and swatches. That way, I don’t have to dedicate a lot of time and effort in writing about just one product and you, my dear reader won’t have to spend a lot of time and effort to read about just one item. Do I make sense? I really hope I do…..

Anyway, today’s haul/mini review is all about WetnWild. I got them about a month ago from my mom. She is currently in the US so it is easy for her to get this stuff. I don’t have a lot of Wetnwild products but I do have some of their eyshadow palletes and I love them. In the Philippines, there are not a lot of stores that carry WetnWild products. I do see some Facebook shops that sell them but usually, they only have 1 or 2 item per product so if you see one you like then you have buy it asap. However, if you like WetnWild products, I think one of the best place to buy is Zalora, since they do have a bunch of WetnWild products there, plus its free shipping so you  (and I) might want to check their site.

Now on to my haul/mini review:

v  WetnWild Coloricon Blush in Heather Silk

·         What I like:

o   Very Pigmented

o   Matte

o   Stays on for long time

·         Some issues:

o   A little powdery

·         Other thoughts:

o   Since it is very pigmented, apply using a dual fiber brush or tap the brush first to get rid of excess powder so that you won’t end up applying too much on your cheeks.

v  WetnWild Coloricon Eyeshadow Palette in Petal Pusher

Ø  What I like:

·         Pigmented

·         Nice color variety

·         Easy to blend

Ø  Some issues:     

§  A little powdery

§  Packaging looks cheap

§  Would have been nicer if it contains matte colors

v  WetnWild lipsticks in Red Velvet, Cherry Picking, Stoplight red

Ø  What I like:

§  Very pigmented

§  No strong odor

§  Leaves a stain

§  Lasts a long time (2-6 hours depending on what you eat)

§  Very nice colors

Ø  Some issues:

§  Cheap packaging

§  Can be drying to the lips

Ø  Other thoughts

§  Apply a thin layer of lipbalm before applying the lipstick and use a lip brush to make application easier

§  Try applying a lipliner first to prevent lipstick from bleeding

Overall Thoughts:

                I love these products! I really wish I could buy more. However, if I can recommend just one..I’d say go for the lipsticks! They are definitely one of my fave lipsticks ever! Affordable yet stays on for a long time!

Thank you very much for reading my post! I hope I could a more detailed post soon! So what are your recent finds? What Wetnwild product have you tried and like/dislike? Please do share in the comments down below!!

Take care!!

HUGE AVON COSMETICS HAUL!!!!

Hi everyone!!

Wow! Time flies soo fast! I can't believe that it's  2014!. 2013 has brought me a lot of blessings and wonderful experiences that I will never forget. One of them is of course being one of the  Avon Blogger Council member. Sadly, December is our last month and I feel bad because I haven't reviewed a lot of their products. Nevertheless, I promised myself to do more posts about Avon products since I had the opportunity to receive goodies from them! I'm sure that a lot of my Filipina readers would want to know what products from Avon I highly recommend.

As my first post this year, here are the stuff the I have received from Avon  for the month of November and December. I was not able to post the November products because I just got them together with the December products. So here are pictures of the stuff that I got!!

1.AVON Holiday pallete

• The Greens, The Blues, The Metallics

2. 

These babies are sparkly lipsticks. They're small and skinny and the packaging looks really elegant and nice. Some are quite sheer and others are pigmented enough. I will do a separate review on these on my next blog post.

3.  Eyeshadow Duet

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw these. They're really cute and I don't own a lot of eyeshadow pencils so I think these can be use as a base or a cream eyeshadow on their own.

4.  Glimmersticks Cosmic Eyeliners

Oohh...excited to try these too! I love eyeliners so this will definitely spice things up a bit. They seem fragile though, like they might break or something.

5. Glimmerstick Lip Liners

They look promising right? They are very pigmented and I have used the red one and the mauve-y one and they definitely made my lipstick last longer.

6. AVON Glazewear Vitaluscious Lip Gloss

I have only tried one or two of them so far, but they seem to be good and not sticky at all. 

7. AVON Color Fold-up Palette

When I went to the AVON branch to get my stuff, the manager was excited to show me this. He told me to open the box because he was very proud of this product. I was quite impressed actually. The packaging is really good and sturdy. There were a variety of colors inside. My favorites were the blush colors. Can't wait to do a separate post on this too!

8. AVON KOHL Eyeliners

I actually have two, one was black and the other one was brown. I immediately fell in love with the brown that's why it is currently lost in my purse/makeup bag/ makeup cabinet and so I was not able to take a picture of it. Hopefully, I can do a separate post of this too!

Soo..that was it! By the way, what did you get for Christmas? I wanted to buy more makeup but since I got a lot of stuff from Avon, I decided to forego ( for now..) until I was able to try using all of them. I sometimes feel that I have a lot of makeup..but then again.. a girl can never have too much makeup right?

Anyway, thank you for reading my post! Hope you have a great year!! 

Take care!!
