Wet n Wild - Mega Last Lip Color - First Look

Wet n Wild Cosmetics

Recently I got the chance to try out the Wet n Wild Mega Last Lip Color, I'd seen them in the store but not picked them up because I had instead bought the Mega Shield Lip Colors instead. I love the ones of those that I had so I was excited to try out these as well.

Anyway onto the photos!

I will have more product photos as well as swatches and a review posted sometime in the next few days!

Milani Cosmetics - Haute Flash Lipgloss - Review

Milani Cosmetics

Recently I got the chance to try out the Milani Cosmetics Haute Flash Lipglosses, I had been wanting to get them for a while but they never had them in the stores I would go to. They did just get them at my local Mejier's which is really great because I have a feeling I'm going to want back ups!

Anyway onto the photos!

What the site says

Product Description:

· Full coverage, electrifying pigmented color · Extra glossy shimmer finish · Non-tacky, anti-feathering formula · Flexible soft sponge applicator for easy application

Price:  $7.49 for Net WT. 0.18 OZ / 5g e

Pros:  These are definitely full coverage, the pigmentation is amazing, they are pretty much the same as MAC Dare to Wear Lipglass which is awesome because the prices is way more reasonable and these are not limited edition. I don't find them to be tacky, although they do have a VERY slight sticky feeling it's not like a gross sticky. They wear well (I tend to lick my lips/bite them) so on me it just varies but if I don't do that much I find them lasting through drinking/eating without much fading. These have a really nice scent to them to almost reminds me of the MAC scent which is a plus because I love that scent.

Cons:  I didn't find any cons, I really love these.

Milani Cosmetics Haute Flash Lipgloss

Formula: Standard lipgloss comparable to MAC Dare to Wear
Coverage: Extremely Pigmented
Wear:  Standard wear 
Shade Info: Available in 6 shades
Cost: $7.49
Availability: Available at www.milanicosmetics.com
Packaging:  Standard slim lipgloss tube, soft flat sponge applicator
My Rating : 10/10

Evil Shades Cosmetics - Eyeshadows - Review

Evil Shades Cosmetics

A while back I placed a small order for samples from Evil Shades Cosmetics, I'd seen quite a few posts from fellow bloggers with tempting swatches. Anyway I placed an order back in the fall (yes I am that far behind, again one day I will get caught up! Gotta love a wedding followed by moving lol) when the Halloween 2011 collection was out so some of these shadows are no longer available.

Anyway onto the photos!

I love the cute packaging/character!

Price:  $1.75 1 gram in a clamshell, $5.00 5 gram jar, $9.00 approximately 7 grams in a 10 gram jar.

Pros:  Gorgeous shadows, great pigmentation, and the price is good.  Shipping was fast, everything packaged in a cute little hot pink pouch. Wears well, texture is nice, and blends well. I absoltely love Zombie Moon, Seraphic, and Faerie Dance gorgeous shadows!!!

Cons:  The only thing that I could say is a con is the clamshell  sample packaging, I'd pay a little more for a normal sample jar. I'm usually careful with opening my shadows but these can be tricky especially if you're sometimes clumsy. Definitely not a reason to not order though, just more of a personal preference.

Evil Shades Cosmetics Eyeshadows

Formula: Standard mineral shadow
Coverage: Very Pigmented
Wear:  Standard wear with primer
Shade Info: Available in several shades
Cost: $1.75 to $9.00 depending on size
Availability: Available at www.evilshades.com
Packaging:  Clamshell, 5 gram jar, or 10 gram jar
My Rating : 9.5/10
