Wet n Wild Eyeshadow Trios - Review

When I was younger, I wasn't into makeup. To me, it was too expensive and I didn't want to spend money on that. At the time, I only knew 3 brands of makeup and they were Covergirl, Maybelline and Revlon. I didn't know that there was this brand called Wet'n'wild that was making incredibly good eyeshadows for the price! I found out about it through my favorite Youtube guru, emilynoel83. I currently have 4 trios. 
They are called Wet n Wild ColorIcon Trios. The retail price right now is 2,97$ each at my local Wal-Mart. I bought Walking on Eggshells 1½ year ago and the three others I bought them this year. 

385B  Don't steal my thunder
331 - I dream of Greenie
On the left side of my hand I swatched the shadows with a finger (more heavily) and next to it I did the swatch with a brush.


The pigmentation of these eyeshadows is really good! As you can see in the pictures, what you see is what you get for most colors. I think that for the price, you can't be that! There is a pretty good selection of shades to choose from and they go from neutral to more colorful and you can even get your classic smokey look with some trios. The colors that Wet n Wild put together in their trios are great! They work beautifully together and a lot of them are great stand-alone shades! One downside for these shadows is that they are a bit powdery when you sweep a brush on them. However, when you tap off the excess, there is almost no fallouts. The staying power is pretty good and they rarely crease on me. I really enjoy all of my trios but my two favorites have to be Walking on Eggshells and in particular the crease shade(golden-bronze), and I Dream of Greenie mostly for the stunning turquoise. They are very soft and blend very nicely together. I like that they added a little brush to help blend eveything! It's nice for people who don't have tools to work with.

335 - Silent treatment












I have to say that I enjoy working with this product in all the shades I have. I love to colors and the quality of the product. It feels high quality and also looks high quality. You can't go wrong when you buy this product and it's pretty fail-proof because they tell you which shade goes where. It's a total winner for me! I'm so glad that Wet n Wild came out with these trios and the fact that they are so good! 

If you have questions or would like to see how I wear these trios please let me know :)

Lise Watier Makeup

Today I'll be doing a post about Lise Watier(Canadian Brand) makeup as it says in the title! Just so you know, it is pronounced Lise Watier Honestly, this is one of my favorite brands! Lise Watier was a very innovative person when she started her makeup line. Her makeup is now in most drugstores here in Quebec. I've got quite a lot of my products cheaper because I went to a warehouse sale in Montreal  So I have been able to try more products for less and see what is worth the price and what's not worth it. I will only show a couple items but if you want to see more, please let me know! All prices are Canadian. You can go on www.lisewatier.com to have more info and see other colors/swatches.

First I'll talk about one of my favorite product of all time : Lise Watier Encre Noir Eyeliner. Encre noir is french for black ink. The retail price of this liquid liner is 19,00$. I bought it at a Lise Watier warehouse sale. It has a tiny and short brush. You can do very precise looks or big and bold cat eyes with it. It is the easiest liner to apply that I found. It's very black and matte when it's dry. It is not waterproof but I'd say it is a pretty long lasting on me(I can get oily lids sometimes and it still holds up). I love handle, not too short or long, it makes it even easier to use. Bottom line for this product : I would recommend to everyone because in my opinion, it is the best black liner.


The next product is very cool for when you go out and it can be use as a liner. It's called the Duo Shadow and Glitter. I have two colors, the grey/silver one is called Smokey Silver and the lime green one is called Golden Wasabi. There is 9 shades for this product and I want to get another one but I don't know which one to choose between Golden Taupe and Smokey Purple. The retail price for each is 25,00$. I bought one in store and one at the warehouse sale. They have a really cute mirror inside the top part where the cream shadow is. For the quality, I feel like the silver shade is creamier but it has more sparckles in it than the green shade. The glitters are very typical glitters, not very dense and kinda big but they stick well to the cream shadow. The only thing is that the cream tend to crease a little. My favorite way to wear them is to use as a liner.   








I'm not really into concealer but I wanted to try one for under my eyes so I picked up the Lise Watier Undercover Creme Concealer. The retail price is 24,00$. I bought it in store. There is light-reflecting pigments in the formula that's why I only like it for under eye  My color is 70698 Naturel and it's the second lightest, but there is only four shades. I would say that this is a light to medium coverage concealer. It's creamy and it doesn't settle into the fine lines under my eyes. It is marked as oil-free and waterproof but I didn't really test the waterproof quality.  I don't wear it very often because I find that my foundation hides what needs to be hidden. This is not the best but not the worst. I guess I just don't like concealers! 



As I said previously, this is just a few product that I have from that brand. I really enjoy using most of them and it's worth checking it out!
