Hi there, my darlings! Today's post is a celebration of affordability! Budget beauty is a way of life, people, and gone are the days when drugstores had the worst selection of beauty products, that you would only pick up if you were desperate or needed something for short-term/single use, like for Halloween or a costume party. In 2018, you can find quality makeup in the latest styles and trends in your local drugstores, just as often as you could if you were to go to Sephora or Ulta. The star of today's post, Wet n Wild has really stepped up their game recently and I, for one, am super impressed! Take a look!
MEGACUSHION FOUNDATION SPF 15 ($8.99 USD)
It’s a match made in makeup heaven: Liquid foundation in a cushion compact. Tap the cushion to add just the right amount of coverage or double tap to add more. It’s perfectly portable too, with an air tight, no mess compact that makes applying liquid foundation a breeze. Infused with coconut derivative, the luminous, lightweight, and buildable formula helps boost hydration and contains SPF 15 for added skin protection.
Available in 9 shades, Tawny (far left) and Honey Beige (second from left) are shown below.
Now, these were the only things I tried that I'm not a fan of. The pencils are much, much too rough and actually kinda hurts when you try to stroke them on. While Medium Brown is a great color match, I won't be reaching for these.
I have no complaints AT ALL about this set of products! Totally in love with the highlighters--gorgeous shades and nicely pigmented, in both powder and liquid formulas, I know I'll be using these A LOT. Special shout out to the beautiful, etched design of the powder highlighters!
As for the shadows, singles can be a pain to keep track of but the shades I tried are just gorgeous. Especially Bleached, which has such a pretty iridescence to it without being too in your face about it.
The biggest surprise, though, were the liquid eyeshadows. I didn't expect to like them as much as I did! A little goes a long way with these and you don't need much for a subtle, metallic sheen OR you can layer it on for a bold, all-over-the-eye metallic pop!
Gorgeous color and that wand is so thick, just like I like it, but I think I may save this for a Halloween look for sure!
MICELLAR CLEANSING WATER ($4.99 USD)
It’s tough on makeup, but gentle on your skin. The genius micellar complex helps attract dirt and oil from your skin, gently removing everything from foundation to waterproof mascara in the swipe of a cotton ball. The portable size and locking pump make it ideal for travel—or last minute overnights.
AND
MAKEUP REMOVER TOWELETTES ($2.99 USD)
After a long day, nothing feels better than stripping down and getting under the sheets, and you KNOW you don’t want to take too long to get down to it! These baby soft cloths gently take off the day, removing all of your eye and face makeup in one fell swoop, leaving behind supple, moisturized skin. It’s gentle enough and hypoallergenic for all skin types, so you can sleep soundly.
Did you know Wet n Wild did makeup removers?! Neither did I so both the micellar water and the wipes can as a huge and very pleasant surprise! The micellar water does its job and quite well at that, cleaning makeup effectively without leaving the skin dry or irritated. It's not the best with my more pigmented eyeliners or waterproof mascaras but in a pinch, this will do just fine. Great to have the option to just run to the drugstore and pick up an effective micellar water for a great price!
The wipes I love! The cloth is really soft and lightly scented. But most importantly, they work very well. In fact, they took all those Catsuit lippies right off! Definitely will use up AND re-purchase!
AND
MEGAGLO MAKEUP STICK CONCEAL AND CONTOUR ($3.99 USD)
In one swipe of a stick, you can get catwalk-ready cheekbones, naturally flushed cheeks or an insanely glowy complexion. Toss one of these portable makeup sticks in your purse or pocket and youll be camera-ready in less time it takes to double tap. Available in: Strobe, Contour, Conceal and Blush.
I have already shared with you all how hard it is for me to find the perfect color match when it comes to foundations...but, color me blown away, we might just have a winner here! Honey Beige is a near perfect match for me and I have always loved the lighter formula of cushion foundations! Win-win!
Furthermore, the contour sticks are really quite useful. Great for travel, these blend really well and doesn't feel like you're caking on another thick product to achieve that chiseled, defined look.
PRO BRUSH LINE - BLUSH BRUSH ($7.99 USD)
Give your cheeks some blushin’ love like a pro. This brush packs in the bristles to deliver just the right amount of cream or powder blush to them apples.
I LOVE everything about these brushes! The metallic handles, the super soft and fluffy brush heads, the design of the handle...and most importantly, these prices! I cannot be more thrilled with these!
ULTIMATE BROW RETRACTABLE ($3.99 USD)
Insta-worthy! Fill in and define your brows with our unique triangular pencil tip. It creates strokes small enough to look like your finest hairs and sharpens the edges of those brows with rub-resistant pigments. Brush and blend it all out with the pencil's built-in spoolie.

Available in 8 shades, shown below is Doll So Hard.
Here are all my absolute favorites in one shot! I am obsessed with lippies and especially, bold, matte lippies so I need ALL the Catsuit Lipsticks in my life! So pigmented and soooo comfortable on the lips, I'm completely in love with Berry Recognize (obviously!) and really feeling Flame of the Game. For 5 bucks a pop, I really want them ALL!
The liners were just as fabulous, gliding on easily and with equally fabulous pigmentation. Again, that price cannot be beat!
Lastly, the lip cream is an acquired taste. It's more of a stain than a true matte and goes on very light. You can definitely layer it on for a more intense color but I think I may just use this one as a blush! Yup, you heard me! This one can totally be a multi-tasker if you think outside of the box!

ReplyDeleteWet n' Wild has so much great stuff. It's at several of the drugstores in my town but they are small sections so I sometimes don't get the full line so it's great to see new things!
