Wedding Dress Shopping!

Hi!

I hope you all have been well! I have so much going on in my life but I couldn't wait to show you what I have been up to! yesterday me & 6 out of my 7 bridesmaids went dress shopping! I really wasn't expecting to try dresses on but once I got there it was a different story. Dustin & I get married on 10/20/12 & I have so much to do!

This was the first dress I tried on, I really liked it & as soon as I walked out of the room I was in tears. It all became so real! I never liked long veils until I tried one on!

I loved this dress. I hated the bottom of it though. I seriously tried 20 dresses on & this was my favorite.
Here's the back of the dress. I wish it had more detailing but I still have much more dress shopping to do. Until I find THE dress, I'm not buying it!

Here are a few of my bridesmaids. This is the style dress I chose, except they will be all black with red shoes. The girls tried theses dresses on first & loves them! They are so cute & they'll be able to wear them again!

Just wanted to give you a quick update on what's been going on! I'm planning on ordering a new camera soon & really posting a lot more!

Have a great night!

Wet N Wild "Petal Pusher" Palette

Hi Dolls!
So I've reviewed Wet N Wild's "Comfort Zone" & "Blue Had Me At Hello", which were the 2 that I originally purchased. I was so impressed with them that I rushed back to Save Mart & grabbed the only one I didn't buy. I'm not sure why I didn't buy it because I love purples. I think it's because I have so many purple shadows & liners.

"Petal Pusher" (I love the name!) comes with 8 eye shadows & a crap brush/applicator. I always throw the applicators out because they are horrendous! I do love this palette because the colors are really great, especially with it being Spring.

The colors are very soft & blendable. However, I find the colors in this palette are not nearly as pigmented as the other 2 palettes. I really have to pack the colors on to get the effect that I am going for. One thing worth mentioning is that the right side eye lid color is almost an exact match of NYX's "Red Bean Pie" (which just so happens to be a favorite shadow of mine) and the right side crease color is close to MAC's "Smut" however, it is a little more red based & the right side definer color is close to MAC's "Black Tied". So, if you are looking to try a less expensive version of those, give this palette a try!
The palette was $3.99 which is a complete steal, if you are looking for a cheap, versatile purple based palette.
Here are the swatches: You can barely see the left side brow bone color, it's a shimmery white with a slight pink tint, the eye lid color is a light pink purple, the crease color is a dark, blue based purple & the definer color is a dark purple with blue shimmer.
The right side brow bone color is my favorite of the whole palette, it's a pastel pink shimmer & it's also the last swatch on top of NYX's Eyeshadow Base in White.
I'm sorry, I never took a picture of any of the looks that I did with this palette!
I've been doing small shopping lately & I had to show the FABULOUS shoes I picked up at Ross for $25. I put them back 3 times but I just had to buy them. Plus, they are Steve Madden! For $25, that is a total steal! I haven't worn them yet, but wedges are my favorite, they are the most comfortable. I know these will kill my feet because they are 5 3/4" high. And I will be a giant woman, but oh well!

Here's another look I did with "Comfort Zone". I seriously cannot get enough of that palette! (PS: I got my hair colored, I'm trying to get back to blonde. Look how long my hair is getting!!)

Have a great day!

Wet N Wild "Comfort Zone" Palette

It's been awhile, hasn't it? First off, let me apologize. I mentioned in my last post that I was going through a rough time. Well, I am still going through it. I found out that after 35 years of marriage, my parent's are getting divorced. It's been a really bad time for everyone & especially hard for me because in less than 7 months I'm getting married. I'm numb to the whole situation but it's been a tough month.

Just a quick update, I have been trying to keep up with my weight loss but I'm such a stress eater. I have done better this past week & I'm focusing more on whole foods & low carbs.

On to the good stuff..

As you know, I picked up these Wet N Wild palettes & I have been using them pretty much daily since I picked them up. Today, I'll be reviewing "Comfort Zone". This is my favorite palette out of all three of them. It's so versatile & the colors are great for any skin tone.

There are 8 colors, the left side are warmer tones & the right side are cooler tones. I love that these colors can be easily blended & bravo to Wet N Wild because they have stepped their game up the past couple years! The fact that you can get 8 colors for $3.99 & they are soft & blendable, I will continue to purchase their products! (Plus, the bottom right color is a dupe to MAC Club!)

The left side's brow bone color is a super light cool gold, the eyelid color is a shimmer rose gold, the crease color is a soft chocolate brown & the definer is a deep, rich chocolate brown.

The right side's brow bone color is a cool grayish brown, the eyelid color is a golden green, the crease color is a dark brown with gold flecks & the definer color is almost exactly like MAC's Club a greenish, brownish red. It's different every time you look at it!

Here's the look I created with the palette. I used the cooler right side colors, I used the brow bone color on my lid & the eyelid color (green) on my crease with a little of the definer color at the corner of my crease.

I also picked up a new XL curling wand that I want to do a review on because I love the look it gives!

Thanks for reading!

Have a great night!

Wet N Wild "Blue Had Me At Hello" Palette

Hi! I'm really sorry I've been missing. I really don't want to talk about it but I am going through a REALLY rough time. To be honest, I've been super depressed & haven't felt up to doing makeup. But, I need to get back to doing what I love.

Anyways, onto the good stuff..I picked up Wet N Wild's Color Icon Palette's at Savemart about a week ago. I originally just bought "Blue Had Me At Hello" & "Comfort Zone" but I couldn't resist & picked up "Petal Pusher" a few days later!

Today I will be reviewing "Blue Had Me At Hello" palette!

(L to R: Blue Had Me At Hello, Comfort Zone & Petal Pusher)

I love blue eyeshadow (Yes, I was born in the 80's!) and this caught my eye as soon as I saw it! The palette comes with 8 shadows, two colors for your brow bone, eyelid, crease & definer.
That teal (second on the right) is my FAVORITE color in this palette. I have to admit that I love all of the colors. I'm super picky about blues on me because I feel like they can really wash my skin out. I'm really impressed with Wet N Wild, when I was younger they were the cheap brand that I started out with & they were kind of crappy. Man, they truly stepped their game up BIG TIME. These shadows are super pigmented & easy to blend. Plus with a price tag of $3.99 each, they are a complete steal! They do have a bit of fall out & the darker colors go on much darker than I expected. The packaging is a little cheap & it is not sturdy. I know if I dropped this palette the shadows would just crumble! But all in all, I think that this is a great palette! The set would be perfect for a makeup kit.Here are all the colors swatched. I went from the left side of the palette, starting with the brownbone color & then back to the browbone color on the right side. I also swatched NYX Eyeshadow Base in White with the bright teal eyelid color.
Left Column:Browbone-Frosty white, Eyelid-super frosty silver, Crease-black with navy shimmer, Definer-matte black
Right Column:Browbone-frosty baby blue, Eyelid-Frosty Bright Teal, Crease-Frosty navy, Definer-Black with silver glitter.
Can I tell you that the right definer color is a dupe to MAC's Black-Tied. It matches almost perfectly!

Here's my look with the palette. I used the entire right column for this look. Of course, I had to add my cat eye liquid liner!

I adore that teal color, I couldn't wait to try it out!

Have you tried any of these palettes? What do you think!?

Makeup Haul!

I saw these Wet N Wild palette's at Giant for $5.99 each & I really wanted them but I could not decide which one to buy so I passed on both. Thank goodness because I found them at Savemart for $3.99 each! Since I couldn't decide which to choose, I got both of the one's I had been looking at! I also had the chance to grab one of the new Maybelline Color Tattoo. They were out of stock on a lot of them so I picked Pomegranate Punk. I want to get a few more the next time I am out. I also needed a new eyelash curler because mine is pretty much done.

This is the palette that grabbed my eye first. Blue is one of my favorite colors & this had so many awesome shades. I absolutely adore the pacific blue shade (second on the right), however I hate the last shade on the right. It is a black with chunky glitter. But the rest of the colors make up for it!

Oh, how I adore this palette, I love browns & I love greens & this is a perfect mix of both. Plus that last color on the right looks like MAC Club which happens to be one of my favorite colors. I can't spot any colors in this palette that I don't like!
Everyone has been raving about these! I had to try them. I was deciding between this on & the orange. But I know I would get more use from this one. Plus, reddish purples make green eyes pop!

I finally ordered my Dinair Pro Airbrush Kit. I cannot wait to receive it! Hopefully, I will have it by the end of next week & I'll be sure to do a post!

Have a great day!
