Drugstore Delights


Hello, my lovely fashionistas! I've been away for a bit, and for that I apologize. But onwards and upwards we go...


I've bought more makeup over the past couple weeks than I thought was humanly possible. I've become obsessed. At this point, I have at least 30 eye shadow compacts (some of them even being palettes with multiple shades). And don't even get me started on lip gloss--I must have 50, all in roughly the same shade of pink or red. It is an addiction.


The best find from my latest drugstore adventure is Wet N' Wild's "Ultimate Expressions Eyeshadow Palette" in Paradise Cove. With eyeshadow, I usually stick to the more upscale brands (either department stores, Sephora, or the "high-end" drugstore finds), but this palette was a mere $4.99 so I took the plunge. It offers 8 shadows--4 shimmery daytime hues, and 4 darker smokey shadows. Surprisingly, the eye shadows are very highly pigmented and a little goes a long way. I especially love the shimmery shades. I use either the light gold or pearl color in the inner corner of my eyes to make them appear larger. The darker shades are great for screating a smokey eye for an eve out; brush one of the darker hues on the outer corners of your eyes and blend inwards for a fab look.


That said, Imust confess that I'm officially in love with Wet N' Wild again. They lost me for a while--everything was kind of unflattering and not of the highest quality. Luckily, they've really stepped it up and added some great products to their line. And everything is still cheap! This is definitely the brand to stick to if you want to stock up on anything, or if you want to just try out a new color without breaking the bank.


That's all for now. Stay fabulous, ladies!
