Wet n Wild Color Icon "Vanity" Palette + Swatches

Hey Lovelies, hope you all had a great weekend? A few weeks ago, the Wet n Wild color Icon Vanity Palette was included in a post I did as part of my "new additions" so I thought to start this week off by sharing with you beauties swatches of the colours from the palette. 

There really is nothing bad I can say about this palette. As you can see, the shades are really pigmented (I mean really), not chalky, blends out easily with the right brush, lasts as long as you want it to  and doesn't crease when used with a good eye shadow primer (I use Urban Decay or Too Faced). 

For us folks that live in the UK, you can purchase this from ebay as it is not sold here at all (well not that I know of) but am hearing it has been discontinued in the US so I guess this is the right time to buy before all the ebay sellers run out of stock lol. It is really affordable and great value for money; I purchased mine for less than £8 including p&p. 

PS: there are three other palettes available (greed, Pride and Lust)

do you own any of the Wet n Wild palettes? If so, what are your thoughts on them?  

if you don't, would you be making a purchase?

New Additions.....

Hello beauties,

Hope you are all well and having a good weekend? For the past week, I have been finding it hard to figure out my blogging schedule which led to me not even posting anything at all *shame on me* but fingers crossed I think I've figured it out.


Anyhoo during my week hiatus, I did what I do best...I bought more makeup. So here are some of the juicy goodies I grabbed onto:


Wet n Wild Coloricon "Vanity" palette

I had to get this palette as I've heard so many good reviews on it and I completely agree with all of them. It's very pigmented, true to colour and very long lasting. This is not available in the UK and will never be as it is now discontinued but can be found on ebay.

Sleek Makeup "Blush by 3" palette - Pumpkin (Lantern, squash & P Pie)

 Blush by 3 is a limited edition blush by Sleek Makeup released exclusively to Superdrugs. There are 5 palette's available, It is not available online at the moment but am sure it'll  be in the future and retails for £9.99 each.

Revlon Matte Lipstick (Nude Attitude)

 Nude Attitude is a pale beige/nude lipstick that looks really really pale on me so I have to pair it with a brown lip pencil to make it look normal. It goes on really smoothly and although it has a matte finish doesn't leave my lips dried out.

Revlon Matte Lipstick (Smoked Peach)

Smoked Peach is just like Nude Attitude but more true to colour on me. These two lippies were purchased from ebay. 

MAC Select Cover-Up Concealer (NC45)

I use this to conceal my dark circles, lighten the under eye area and to define my brows as shown here. 

MAC Fix+

 I wanted to try Fix+  to find out what the fuss is all about and so far am just happy I bought the small bottle (30ml). 

MAC Viva Glam Lipstick (Nicki)

Viva Glam Nicki was recently released by MAC and you can read my thoughts on this lippie here.

Avon SuperShock gel eyeliner (bronze, black & steel)

Having seen the Pixiwoo sister's use the black Supershock pencil over and over again, I decided to get me some and so far I am loving them. 

I also got two new liquid foundations in my quest to try other foundations out there and I'll be reviewing these in the future.


do you own any of these goodies and what do you think of them?


what other goodies are you lusting after?
