Review: Wet n Wild "Walking on Eggshells" Trio


Hey guys :)
Today I wanted to type-up a little review about one of the most used, most loved makeup products ever! This is the Wet n Wild "Walking On Eggshells" Color-Icon eyeshadow trio. It retails for only about 3$ and can be purchased at Walgreens, Target or Walmart! Wet n Wild is one of the best drugstore companies for eyeshadows- these eyeshadows are super creamy, really pigmented and blend beautifully!

no primer
This is one of the easiest eyeshadow looks to wear on a day-to-day basis for school or work! I have made a video in the past using this eyeshadow trio for a back-to-school tutorial (click here to watch), it even has imprinted directions on the shadows themselves and written at the back of the packaging to show you the easiest way to use them! (you can totally use them in different ways, as well! I love using the white creamy eyeshadow labeled "browbone" for all over the lid, for example!)



Also, according to one of my favorite Beauty Bloggers Emilynoel83, there are 3 MAC eyeshadow dupes in this palette: Shroom, Cork and Naked Lunch! click here to watch the video where she talks about this (and about more eyeshadow dupes) a little more! :)

Over all, i think these eyeshadows are fantastic and totally worth the small price of 3$ that you'll pay for them! Other trios from the Wet n Wild "Color-Icon" eyeshadows are totally worth checking out as well!

Have you ever tried the Wet n Wild eyeshadows? What do you think of them?
Yael :)

Review: Urban Decay Naked Palette


Hey Guys, I recently purchased the Urban Decay Naked Palette and I really wanted to type up a blog post telling you what I think of it and showing you some of my most used eye shadows from that palette.
First, I'd like to say that it took me forever to decide whether or not I should buy this palette, because it is on the pricey side- 48$, but I am so glad I got it!

I never thought I could love neutral colors as much as I do- I never used to think too much about them, neutral is neutral, right? Well, ever since I got this palette I've been trying a ton of different combinations on my eyes and been loving every single shade in this palette!
I really love using Buck as a crease shadow with almost every single look I make- it's one of those shadows that look almost 3 dimensional in your crease, as if it's a few colors instead of just one.


Some of my favorite lid shadows are (from left to right): Sidecar, Toasted, Smog and Half Baked.
Sidecar is a really pretty light brown infused with a ton of silver glitter- perfect for nights out and a lil sparkle, Toasted is a brownish cranberry color and gives the nicest wash of color to your lid, Smog is that really nice golden brown that works really well on your outter V area to deepen up your crease and Half Baked is just a breath-taking, almost true liquid gold- i feel like I'm putting actual gold on my lid when I use it!

No Primer

Have you tried any of the Naked Palette's eyeshadows? 
Which ones are your fave?
-Yael ♥

Best inexpensive eyeshadows

Hey guys! :)
Today I wanted to share some really great super inexpensive eyeshadows with you, these e.l.f essentials "brightening eye color" quads retail for only 1$ and are amazing quality! They come in a huge range of colors and are really compact and nicely sized, considering each eyeshadow is only 25 cents!

Nymph Dreams

The quad I love most is this one in "Nymph Dreams"- it has a gorgeous gold, a nice bronze, a stunning turquoise-teal and a great crease brown shadow.

No primer

I think this eyeshadow quad is perfect: it has great neutrals and one super pretty pop of color.
Also, the quad has a lil mirror (a nice bonus!) and a sponge tip applicator.
You can get these at Target or the e.l.f site: http://www.eyeslipsface.com

What is your favorite eyeshadow quad from e.l.f?

Review: NARS eyeshadow duo- Bysance



Hey guys :)
I recently hauled a couple of things I got from the Sephora website and one of the things I was super excited about was this eye shadow duo from NARS in the shade Bysance.
I got it on sale for 10$, but normally these retail for 33$.

No Primer

I really like these colors- they are very pigmented (as you can see in the picture above) and are really creamy as well.


I love the NARS packaging and I love the colors that you get in this duo: the purple is a gorgeous, almost duo chrome, shade and the gold has just a lil tint of yellow in it.

What do you guys think of the NARS eyeshadows?
Have you tried them before?
-Yael
