Wet'n'Wild at Winn-Dixie!

For some reason, a random and quiet Winn-Dixie near me always gets the Wet'n'Wild Limited Edition collections that Walgreens and Walmart don't. I stopped in this morning and found a Go for the Gold display. I got both The Gilded Age eyeshadow trio and Everything Under the Sun bronzer for only $2.99 each.




Here are the eyeshadow swatches:

And the bronzer swatch:

My verdict:

I love the trio! I think they are so summery and shimmery and pigmented and fun! I wasn't so sure about the bronzer since I never know how those bronzers with a bunch of different shades will end up looking when swirled together. I find it hard to use a single shade, so I just do a big circular sweep to pick it all up. It's definitely way shimmery. I'm only in the mood for shimmery cheek products infrequently, but it's a pretty color and I'm sure I'll use it on occasion. I wore The Gilded Age trio today. This pic is post-gym sweatiness with crazy lashes and taken with my phone so it doesn't look the best, but when I first applied it, it was really pretty (promise)!

Inglot Swatches!

I will reiterate just how much I love drugstore makeup, and how infrequently I buy any higher-end cosmetics. I read all the love for Inglot and saw some luscious-looking swatches. Seeing that their prices weren't too high ($5 each for 3.5g), I decided to place an order: 409 Pearl, 402 Pearl, 423 Pearl, 395 Pearl, 360 Matte,  and 49 AMC (Advanced Makeup Component, whatever that means). Here are the pics of the initial swatches on bare skin with no primer in various types of lighting. I'll review more thoroughly once I've had a chance to actually use them.
