FOTD: New To Town

Hello Dolls! For the first time in what seems like a month I decided to do my makeup all out. It's my first full day in Connecticut and since I'm going out with some friends tonight I decided to do something a little dark so I ended up with a "sandwich" smokey eye meaning one color on the inner and outer lid and another in the centre.  I used all Glamour Doll Eyes for this eye look. 

Wet N' Wild 8 Pan Palette Collection & Dupes

Wet N' Wild was never a brand that I ever reached for at the drugstore. But after receiving one of these pans as a gift I fell in love with this brand. For a drugstore brand Wet N' Wild has an amazing range of shadows and lipsticks!! The pigmentation in these shadows is comparable with high end brands, and the price for the palettes is unbelievable at only $4.99 for an 8 pan eyeshadow palette. 

Today I will be swatching and listing dupes held in the Wet N' Wild 8 pan palettes. 

Comfort Zone Palette
I like to call this the forrest palette. The colors in this palette are very nature inspired. There are no mattes in this palette, they are all shimmer which is a con for me. They are very very pigmented they are also very creamy and soft which could be a pro or con.
(I had horrible luck with this my palette fell right before I began snapping pictures, and my finger slipped as I tried to open it)

Spoiled Brat (All Drugstore Look)

I apologize for the absence for the past month or so. I was without a computer for the majority of the summer due to vacations and my computer just flat out dying on me. Don't worry though, I'm back and will be posting as much as I possibly can. 

I did this look in June for a friends graduation party. I wanted something more bright, playful, and smokey. I had Wet N' Wilds Spoiled Brat palette just sitting on my counter and decided to finally start playing with it.

Skyrim Inspired Make Up

A couple of months ago a friend of my mothers introduced me to Skyrim. I had heard of the game before but never really sat down to play. He started a game for me and while creating my character I noticed the amazing war paint they had in the game. You could choose from a few designs and hundreds of modifications for your character. 

I got inspired and wanted to try to recreate one of the designs and this is what I came up with. It's not 100% accurate, but the picture served as inspiration. 

Nails Of The Day: Greys Anatomy

Finally decided to use my Gray's Anatomy from WN'W again. This picture does not do this colour justice at all!! 

Nails Of The Week: Starry Night

Simple story for this look. I was talking to a lady at work about nail looks and the gradient effect came up. I had new polishes to break in and decided to do this look. Enjoy. 

Running Late For School Neutral Eye with Cat Liner

Sadly this has become an every day look for me lately. School's been so hectic that I just can't take the amount of time doing my makeup as I wish I  could. So a very neutral, almost "No Make-Up" make-up look has been my go to. 

Nails of the Week: Anchors Away

They always say to recycle, so I decided to re-do two of my favourite nail looks and combine them. I absolutely love how they came out!!

 

Nails of the Week: Dark Horizons

Since school just started I wanted to do something simple. Something not so complicated and something I could touch up super easily if they chipped. 

 

Nails of The Week 2.0: PrDisco Ball

So my pink nails decided to chip horribly after a trip to the pool so I decided to re-do my nails. I had just bought two Wet N' Wild Polishes, previously shown on my haul, and decided to use those.

Target and Wal-Mart Haul :D

I finally went school shopping yesterday. And of course make-up and clothes is an important part of back to school shopping. :D I was excited to get a lot of new stuff for the the new school year considering that since it's my senior year I won't be able to buy a lot of random stuff because I'll be busy paying for school stuff. So here we go, let's start off with Target.

I really didn't buy much at Target just a couple of things that I had been really wanting.

Collective Haul

I decided to finally do a haul with things I have recently purchased. This includes placed like Ulta, Wal-Mart and even a flea market. I've been trying to get some more makeup before school starts because soon all of my money will be going towards buying school supplies. :P

NYX 10 Colour Eyeshadow Palette in Secret World.

I really enjoy these colours. They're very tropical and neutral at the same time. I love the variations of greens and oranges. There is one random silver in the palette but I am not complaining. Because it is a very nice shimmery silver perfect for the inner corner of the eye. And like always they are very smooth to the touch and very very pigmented.
