Hey there my fellow beauties!!! I have been wanting to come on here more to be able to share some of my cool findings and deals with all of you. I wish I could do more than what I currently post but being that I still work and have to take care of my soon 4 year old, I don't have as much time as I like. Sorry for the ranting...lets get on with what I am on here about.
Those that know me, know how I have said that I was attempting to do a "No Buy" until at least around Christmas Time. Well, once again that was a BIG FAIL!!!! Once again I found myself inside one of the many local Walgreens in my area and fell upon a display by one of my favorite makeup brands....Wet n Wild of course!!!! :)

A majority of the items that were in this display were current items they sale day to day. But I recognized a few new eye shadow trios that I have never seen before. The photo above from www.beautybroadcast.net has them circled. I only picked up 2 out of the 3 trios that they had and I was lucky enough to get them while they were on sale, again! The trios retail for $2.99/each and my local Walgreens had $1 off of them.
First one I picked up was #34284 Camera Obscura. I always go for the trios I know I would wear more often or at least once. This trio had some neutrals that you could work into any look you create.
The Browbone, which is a light brownish tan matte color, and Crease, which is a sheen light pink color, were my favorite in this particular trio. The eyelid color does remind me of a color that is in my other Wet n Wild palette, Blue Had Me At Hello. Its a dark blackish blue with hints of light blue shimmer.
These are the swatches for Camera Obscura. The crease and browbone color did need a few swipes before they started to appear on my arm. I did not use an eye shadow base to apply these swatches, with one most likely the colors would have been more pigmented then they are shown in these pictures. Besides that, the colors were gorgeous on the skin. Worth the $2 for sure!!!!
The next trio I picked up was #34292 Silent Era Film. Another trio I can definitely see myself using on a regular basis. This trio also comes with some neutrals, which I love, once again easy to incorporate into any look.
The colors in the Silent Era Film Trio is as follow....the browbone is a sheer mauvey pink. The crease is a coraly pink matte color. The eyelid is a grey color with some silver hints of glitter.
The swatches above for Silent Era Film were pigmented. Once again, the crease and browbone colors both had to be swiped a few times before the colors appeared on skin, but I didn't use an eye shadow base to apply the swatches. I'm sure if I did the colors most likely would've appeared with more pigmentation.
As I said I was lucky enough to run into these on a trip to Walgreens I didn't
even intend on going on. Talk about double score, finding these bad boys and even better, finding them on sale!!!! YEAHER!!!!! Both of these trios are a must have, especially if you are neutral look person. They are colors that are easy to work with and can go with any look or outfit. Wet n Wild is an amazing, affordable brand, you can never go wrong. Even if you do try them out and end up disliking them, its not like you paid an arm and a leg for their products. I couldn't be happier with all the products I purchased from them. One of the few companies I trust in! Now get up and find this collection before its gone, you will regret it if you don't!
