I've Been Hauling



That's right guys I have a small-medium sized haul for you all. I shopped at Walgreens, Duane Reade, Tar-jay Target, and Brooklyn Divas. I picked up some make-up, two nail-polishes and a little something else,lol. But I was too excited and blown away by my acquirement of the new Wet n Wild shimmer single line!!!! *screams* Yes the line is already available in stores (as some of you may already know and have seen), I picked up some of the new shades and have pics and a review for you guys. 


Okay so first up is the single eye-shadow Panther that is replacing the discontinued eye-shadow Penny from Wet n Wild's single eye-shadow line. And if your heart just started to give out on you cause you are absolutely lost as to what I just informed you of click here for a list of Wet n Wild's discontinued products. But back to topic at hand....here is a pic of Panther.




Panther is matte black eye-shadow with absolutely no shimmer or glitter. It's somewhat of a dark black, which is great for me for when I choose to add a little black to my "outer v". With a black such as Panther there's no fear of adding too much black to the eyes. It's as smooth as butter. 


Next is Trashed it is one of the colors from the new line, shimmer single eye-shadow. It is an extremely dark, pigmented black with silver glitter sprinkled throughout. At first glance you may assume that it is the same black from the LE Wet n Wild's 6 pan eye-shadow palette in Night Elf but let me put your mind to rest, they are not the same. Night Elf is no where as dark or pigmented as Trashed. Here is Trashed.




Up next is Sellout, when the first few displays pics made it's way around the blogs the pictures gave the impression that it was a red. But instead it is indeed a pink. Neither a fuchsia pink nor a bubble gum pink, it's another eye-shadow that is smooth as butter, the pigmentation is great as well. So here it is...




Glamrock is a middle toned purple with blue undertones to it, the consistency when swatched was a bit chalky. A definite disappointment. At first I was hesitant about picking up this eye-shadow cause I initially thought it was quite similar to Kitten by the same company....Wet n Wild. However I still purchased it and upon comparison, it is no where near as similar as Kitten.Kitten is a lighter purple with gold undertones, equally as beautiful to me. Here is Glamrock






A side by side view of Kitten and Glamrock....respectfully (Kitten is on the left and Glamrock on the right).




Lastly from the new line is Stage Dive, this shadow is one of those shadows that's it's hard to state which color it actually is or at least for me. It's a royal purple or purply blue whichever way you would like to think of it. Stage Dive is absolutely gorgeous and pigmented. No doubt about it, it's a unique color. And here it is....




In my haul I also picked up some Elf products, I picked up the quad in Glam. On the Elf's website I can not find the quad but yet I have it in my possession, not sure how to feel about this,lol. There's a bubble gum pink, black with pink glitter, fuchsia, and a pink with gold undertones. The quad as the rest of the Elf's quads are a bit chalky. 






In addition I was too excited to pick up a cream eye-shadow from Elf, in Teal Party. The color surely caught my attention, it is a teal with gold undertones and something like an olive green, if you get me. Teal Party was smooth and soft as well as pigmented, a great buy.




Now onto the two nail-polishes that I picked up the first one is from the Wet n Wild's remake of the Megalast nail-polish. It's called Club Havana, and it is a sex-say coral/peach, quite bright as well as being one of those nail-polishes that you take off before there were any chips. It's actually very similar to Blazed by Wet n Wild, I see no need to purchase both but hey...it's all your choice. Here's Club Havana










The next polish is by Sinful Colors (my fave nail-polish brand) and IT IS A FLAKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! So you can imagine that this was a definite treat for me. As all flakies it is a top coat with a clear base and obviously green junks of glitter. However, when applied over a black base the glitters have a dual color of green and blue. Here is a pic of Green Ocean









The last product I will share with you lovelies is a matte lasting pressed powder from The Queen Collection for Covergirl. It is in Golden and is a replacement for the discontinued Queen Collection mineral hue powder. It's a powder so it goes without saying that it is light coverage but you can build upon it. As far as it being matte this is true but lasting I'm not willing to agree with. So here's the pic








If you would like to see swatches you can check out this video I posted on YouTube. 






Let me know which products you guys are loving, what you think about the discontinued products from Wet n Wild and are your crazy over flakies as I am?
