Wet and Wild Color-Icon Eyeshadow {Poster Child} Review~!

Hey Guys~!

Recently I posted an eyeshadow look using a Wet and Wild Color-Icon Palette in Poster Child. If you haven't seen it {click here} to check it out. A lot of you guys liked it, so I thought I'd give you guys a full review on this palette. For a long time, I have been a huge fan of Wet and Wild. Their eyeshadows are something I have always loved. Because of that, I wanted to test this palette out to see if it's as good as the others. So let's start~~!

This palette looks like many of the other Wet and Wild Color-Icon palettes. It has a clear lid so you can see all the colors, and I have noticed that at times it can be a little tricky to open. But besides that I think the packaging is fine.

Inside there are eight different colorful eyeshadows and a dual end eyeshadow brush, one end has a sponge tip and the other is a brush. On the left are different shades of pink and a black eyeshadow and on the other side is different shades of blue/teal and a yellow.

Here are swatches of all the colors. . .

All of them have the signature creamy texture that all the Wet and Wild Color-Icon shadows have. However I did notice that the pigmentation for the first two pinks aren't the best. In order for them to show up, you have to pack them on. But besides that the pigmentation on these shadows are great.

The price for this palette is great. I think it cost around $5 - $6, which is great for a palette of eight drugstore shadows. Especially since if you bought eight shadows that were this good quality, it would cost way more than this palette would.

Quality: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Overall: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I really enjoy this palette. It's unlike anything I own and I'm going to really enjoy experimenting with it. If you don't have a lot of colorful eyeshadows, this palette may be a great one to try if you want something inexpensive.

Here's the look for the tutorial

Rilakkuma Nail Art Tutorial~!

Hey Guys~!

I hope you're excited cause I have a nail art tutorial for you. This tutorial is inspired by Rilakkuma. If you don't know who that is, basically he's a cute bear made by San X. I love Rilakkuma, I even have a Rilakkuma hat.

Anyways for this tutorial you'll need. . .

Base Coat

 
A brown, tan, or orangey brown nail polish

 
 Any nail polish color of choice

 
 A black nail polish

 
 A white nail polish

 
 Top Coat or Clear Nail Polish

 
 A dotting tool or a pin



Gather up all those polishes and let's get started (>w<)

First paint you nails with a base coat. I'm using Revlon Calcium Gel Nail Hardener. Using a base coat will help prevent the polish from staining your nails. Wait for your base coat to dry completely before continuing. 

Paint your ring finger in a brown polish and the rest of your nails whatever color you want. For my brownish orange color I'm using Life Preserver by China Glaze and for my color of choice I'm using Bikini so Teeny by Essie. It's a pretty blue color. Apply 2-3 coats of each color, so it's opaque and wait for it dry in between coats. 

With your dotting tool, make an oval with the white polish in the middle of your nail. The white polish I'm using came in a french manicure kit by Sally Hansen, but really any white nail polish will do. My dotting tool is from Sally's Beauty Supplies.

While that's drying make dots on your other nail with the same white polish. The dot's don't have to be organized like how I made mine. You can really do any sized dots in any pattern you want. I just did mine like this because I think it looks cleaner.

Once the white oval is dry take your dotting tool, clean your dotting tool before changing colors, and dip it into the black polish. The polish I'm using is a nail art polish from Milani. It has a thin brush, making nail art designs easier to make. Make two dots on the side of the white oval and one dot on the white oval like this. 

With your dotting tool or your nail polish brush, draw two diagonal lines from the bottom of the nose. These two lines will create his mouth.

 When everything is dry, apply either your top coat or clear nail polish of choice. 

And that's it, we're done~!

 I hope you guys enjoyed this nail art look and comment with any other nail tutorial ideas. See you at my next post xo
