E.L.F. Studio Single Eyeshadow in Pebble Review

If you couldn't tell I have a serious love for E.L.F. products! I love how cheap they are, how easy it is to buy them, and the fact that they have promo codes all the time! It's hard not to buy from them. Recently I've been trying to focus on makeup brushes and the like instead of buying more makeup, however I failed a little. I ended up buying an E.L.F. Studio Single Eyeshadow in Pebble for $3. It is a small shadow and the packaging kind of reminds me of Nars products. There's even a small mirror inside. I personally think the mirror it too small for initial application but I could see it being handing for touch ups. The color in person is true to the color they show on the website. That's always one of my biggest worries when ordering any kind of colored cosmetic item online, will the color be what I saw online? The answer with this shadow is yes. The color pay off it self isn't that strong. I don't want to call it a sheer application but it's certainly not a strong color payoff, however you can easily build this. I would use this color day or night by it's self or as a crease color.

Wet n Wild Color Icon Trio Review

After watching review videos about these trios I finally decided to give this drugstore brand a try. I was hesitant because when I hear Wet n Wild I automatically think cheap and useless. This is probably from my preteen days of using cheap makeup before I knew what I was really doing. Now when I think Wet n Wild I think cheap and underrated! I bought the trios Walking on Eggshells and Sweet as Candy. I bought them because they were more on the neutral side and you can't go wrong with neutral shadows. When I first swatched these the first thing I noticed was the great pigmentation. The payoff I got just from barely rubbing my bare finger over the colors was astounding, especially for a drug store brand. The colors blend beautifully. I haven't tried any of the more outrageous colors yet, but I'm dying to. These also have tremendous staying power. I have worn these with both my E.L.F. Eyelid Primer and my Too Face Shadow Insurance and have no problem with fading or creasing. These would be great gifts for makeup newbies since the colors are already labeled and come with directions on how to apply them. It also helps that they are very inexpensive. I say go out and by all of them (that's what I'm slowly doing!).

I got these at Walgreens for $2.99 but I have also seen them at grocery stores and CVS.
