Wet n Wild Sugar Plum Fairy is a dupe for MAC’s Rebel!
Swatches: Left is MAC, right is Wet n Wild
Lips: Left is MAC, right is Wet n Wild
Swatches show the difference in finishes, and a slight variation in color but it is almost undetectable on the lips!
Essence A New League Soft Touch Eyeshadow Limited Edition shade in Caddy in The Wind
THIS EYESHADOW DOES NOT BUDGE AFTER IT SETS. AT ALL.
It’s amazing, I love the color too! Very sophisticated for being 3 bucks, I love that it isn’t FULL of glitter. This would be a perfect base color, I can’t even see this creasing on oily lids, but I’ll have to test that out first!
Haze of Love, Wet n Wild Megalast
Sorry for messy swatches! I can’t do new swatches because I cut all my nails off and I am sad about it :(
I LOVE this color for fall! It’s an awesome brick red. :)

Holy mother of jesus this is the best purple in the WORLD.

My summer favorites :)
Summer is the time of year that I just don’t care. I don’t wear much makeup, nor do my hair often. It’s usually pretty natural! I don’t like having on a lot of makeup when I’m swimming daily, hiking, or just being hot, so here we go!
Hair/skin care:
1.Gud By Burts Bees Natural Nourishing and Softening Shampoo and Conditioner
- I love this stuff! My dry and frazzled hair is instantly smoothed with this duo, plus it smells like oranges!
2.Bio Oil
- This is my go-to moisturizer. I love this stuff! Has a nice light scent and makes my skin feel extremely soft and… supple. Like a baby. That’s not the best way to explain a baby, don’t do that.
3.Target Generic of Saint Ives Apricot Scrub
- This stuff scrubs off all the ickies left over from fun summer activities, like hiking, swimming, camping, etc.
Skin Products:
1. NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer
- This stuff is awesome, SPF 30, smells like lemon cookies, satin finish with a gorgeous brightening/glowy factor!
2. Skin79 Hot Pink Beblesh Balm
- Equally as awesome as the NARS tinted moisturizer. View more photos here!
1. Maybelline Dream Matte Powder
- See review here! Super lightweight and perfect for summer time.
2. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer
- Have used this concealer for about a year now! Really lightweight with a medium-full build-able coverage.
1. NYX cream blush in Tickled
- Looks like rose-gold! Review here.
2. Essence legends of the sky powder blush in Better Way to Sky
- Gorgeous true coral blush

Essence 2 in 1 Eyeliner Pen Review!
The Essence 2 in 1 eyeliner pen retails for $1.99 at Ulta or Fred Myers.
The packaging is a double ended thin stick with two caps on each of the tips. It’s a very sturdy plastic with a semi-weighted feel, making it feel as though it costs much more than just 2 bucks!
The two ends look like this:
A thick end to create dramatic eyeliner looks
And:
A skinny applicator to create thin and precise lines.
The formula is just a TAD bit thin, however going over your line twice will give you a full opaque coverage.
Here’s some of the lines I drew with the applicators!
(top three; skinny end, bottom three; thick end.)
Overall I rate this a 7/10!
Wet n Wild Mega Last Don’t Blink Pink
I would review this but I think the photos speak for itself! Incredibly creamy, great lipstick.
Retails for $1.99
Mac’s Watch Me Simmer
Revlon Lip Butter in Candy Apple.
Heroine Lipstick by Mac. Limited Edition Spring 2012.
Deep Matte red-based purple.
Bit of a patchy application with a non-matte finish… Was sort of weird! Not something I’d choose for spring but I will be wearing ALL throughout fall!
Nyx Rouge Cream Blush in Glow.
Another one of these! For 6 bucks I’m really loving them. This is a more matte color, not as glossy, and has a gorgeous pinky glow to it. It’s the glow you get after a good workout, a bit of sun, or after a cute somebody gives you a kiss on the cheek!
