Fall-inspired Party Makeup Look

Hi Everyone,

Today I'm here to share a quick makeup look that I created, inspired by the dull Greens & warm, autumnal Browns of Fall. I know there's no Fall in India, but let's just roll with it ;-)

Here's how I did it - 

1. Base - If you already don't know how I do this, then you MUST visit the blog more often..lol ;) After moisturizing my face, I applied the Lakme CC cream all over, concealed using Derma Color Concealer & set the base with Rimmel London Stay Matte powder.

2. Eyes - I used all of the colors on the right hand side of the Comfot Zone palette by Wet 'n' Wild. Dabbed the frosted green 'Eyelid' shade all over the eyelid & used the moss green 'Crease' shade in the outer corner of the eye to give it some depth. I used the 'Browbone' shade from the palette to highlight the area beneath the brows.

Then, I lined the upper lashline with Sugar 'Eye Told You So' eyeliner & the lower lash line with Lakme Eyeconic Blue kajal to offset the greens on the eyes. Finished the brows with my MUA eyebrow pencil in 'Brown'.

3. Cheeks - I used the 'Pearlescent Pink' blush by Wet 'n' Wild (which is a supposed dupe for the NARS Orgasm blush) & topped it off with the Wet 'n' Wild Rose Champagne Glow highlighter which I've been loving lately.

4. Lips - I mixed an old Oriflame pinkish lipliner with Maybelline Colorsensational 'Bronze Orange' lipstick which is quite a cult favourite when it comes to n*de lipsticks.

This look doesn't need the same products I've used & can be easily re-created if you have similar shades in your makeup stash :-) You could also create this look for your upcoming NewYear's bash!! 

Hope you liked this quick makeup look! :-) Let me know your thoughts in the comments section below.

Until the next post...Ciao!!

Wet 'n' Wild Haul & Review

Hi Everyone,

If you follow me on Instagram (HERE), you'd already know that my very sweet Sis-In-Law V, indulged me with some Wet n' Wild products while she was on vacation in the States. She knew the 'Budget product Junkie' in me would love some drugstore products & what better than some W&W products to pamper me!! Special thanks & warm hugs going out to her on this post...Thank you Baby!

So with some refreshing Green tea to give me company, I'm ready to share my haul with you today :-) Let's begin -

1. 'Take On the Day Eyeshadow Primer' from the Fergie Centerstage Collection

The smallest wonder of this entire haul but a good one at that! This lil primer potion comes out pearly but blends clear on application. It brightens up the eyelid & forms a smooth base. It ensures that my eyeshadow lasts for a good 6-7hrs & keeps them from creasing on my oily eyelids.

2. Wet 'n' Wild ColorIcon Blush in 'Pearlescent Pink 831E'

I had read online that this lil blush was a drugstore-dupe for the very famous 'Orgasm' by NARS. Since I don't own the NARS one, I cant really say anything about the claim. All I know is that Pearlescent Pink gives a nice, warm flush to the cheeks, while looking absolutely natural. It has a smooth finish on applicaton thanks to being finely milled, but that also means that you've got to be careful while dipping your blush brush in it - this baby can go everywhere if you arent careful!

3. Wet 'n' Wild Megalast Lipstick in 'Cherry Picking 965'

Cherry Picking is a stunning deep pink true to its name! I have a ton of pinks in my lipstick collection, but I've never owned a shade like this one... yay for me ;-) It's semi-matte on application & dries a bit after some time. True to it's name, it's really 'megalasting' & has a wear time of around 5+ hrs on me. It does transfer a bit while having a meal or drinking water, but that doesn't affect the shade on the lips...it stains the lips & somehow manages to look as pigmented as it was on application. This is one Va-Va-Voom shade ... go for it if you love bright lips!

4. 'Rose Champagne Glow Highlighter A045' from the Fergie Centerstage Collection

This beauty has become my one of my favourites of this entire haul :-) Rose Champagne Glow gives me the softest glow ever & it great for daily use. I haven't tried it on 'evenings out' yet but I'm sure it's going to rock even there. The amount of product one gets would last for a very long time & the highlighter itself is very long-lasting! In the packaging, it's yummy looking swirl of champagne, rose- gold & pink shades, which gives me a natural glow without looking like a streak of light on the face. Absolutely loving this one...a must-try!! Wearing Rose Champagne Glow HERE.

5. Wet 'n' Wild ColorIcon 8 eyeshadows palette in 'Comfort Zone 738'

'Comfort Zone' has been featured in a lot of Wet 'n' Wild must-try lists. I was very excited to try out this palette & it definitely hasn't let me down. Typically Wet 'n' Wild, this palette comes coded with Browbone, Eyelid, Crease & Definer shades, so it becomes easy for a beginner to try them out...it's a no brainer! For those who love to experiment, you can swap around the shades to create  different looks :-) Let me know if you'd like me to do a detailed review of this product, I'd be happy to do that!!

Overall, I'm very happy with my haul...thanks again to dear V for getting these for me! There are a number of sellers on Instagram who deal in W&W products, but along with the shipping & margin, these babies turn out to be quite expensive :-( However, if you do get your hands on any of these, you will not regret it...the quality of these products is really good & can give my 'slightly high-end' alternatives, a run for their money!! :-)

Do you own any Wet 'n' Wild products? Which ones are your favourites? Do leave me your thoughts about this post too, in the comments section below.

Until the next post, Ciao!!!
