Wet n WIld Silk Finish Lipsticks Review

As I was strolling around in Wal Mart, I stop by the Wet n Wild booth to check out the selection. What did my eyes fest on? $1.57 CAD beauties :). Especially the bright fuchsia with blue sheen lipstick 521A. To my surprise, there is 22 shades. Sadly in Canada, we always have a limited selection of USA products. I'm really sad because I'm really loving these lipsticks! Their much better then ELF mineral lipsticks and cheaper with more beautiful colors. The packaging is not the best, but I'd view it as "practical" LOL. The stupid thing is, they don't print the names of each lipstick onto the actual lipstick. Its on the packaging which you rip off. I had to research for the name online. Fail packaging people!! Another thing I don't like about the packaging is that the lipstick tip doesn't go all the way done, so when you put the lid you have to be very careful.
First one up, Breeze 547B. Its a nice browny nude, almost the same shade as this year's Viva Glam Lady gaga lipstick, but with a really fine sliver sheen. It's a frost finish lipstick and its super moisturizing! Silky, smooth with a decent color payoff which is buildable btw. I personally would not use this all over my lips by itself because it looks wayyyy too frosty, but use it as an accent color or a color over another to change the finish.
I've been looking for a beautiful bright fuchsia color for the longest thing, but did i really want to shell out $20 + for something I'd wear for, iunno, less then a few times? Not really. So when something like this comes around, especially for only $1.57, I couldn't pass even if i wanted to.521A Fuchsia with Blue pearl, and yes the name does it justice. Exactly what it is, Fuchsia with a blue sheen. Although you can't really see the blue sheen, its there. Trust me :)Absolutely love love love this color. Its not as opaque as MAC amplified, but the color payoff after a few layers= Love :'). Somewhat sheer, but still gives me enough color to turn people's heads. Not bad if i do say so myself.

Conclusion:
-price: A+
-packaging: B-
-product quality: A
-Overall quality: B++
-Buy again? Yes, as a matter of fact I'm going to buy all the ones i can get my hands on :).

Sunglasses from Forever 21

I'm always out and about to find the next cheap and stylish item. What did I find this time eh? Antique looking see through green plastic framed sunglasses. I've been looking for something where the legs aren't right in the middle. Wow i can't explain what I'm talking about. XD Just look for yourself.These were about $7. I usually buy brand name sunglasses but I caved into buying this. Although there is a big big difference with quality, I do get a kick out of these as "disposable fashion."

MAC Strobe cream

MAC...why are you so expensive. Sure if you buy one thing, it might seem to be decently priced. But when you are a hoarder like me, it hurts to go to MAC. Recently I went and bought the tinted moisturizer which was flipping $32!! That's insane! And you get really little product. And it does nothing for me! I mean i don't need full coverage, but its so light to the point where its kinda ridiculous how little coverage there is. Okay, anyways back to the strobe cream. So when i was standing at the cashier, I saw there were these new and cute MAC travel sized products. The one that stood out was the Strobe cream. I have been wanting to try it for a long time, and when i saw it was in a small tube I COULDN'T RESIST! The travel size is $18 CAD for 1 fluid ounce. Compared to $30 something bucks for 1.7 fluid ounce, I think this is pretty decent. I don't exactly get the hype about this product, I mean sure it gives a nice glow to the face (its very very very subtle though) but I can easily get the same affect if i used my everyday moisturizer and mix it in with some smash box artificial light cream. It has the same pinkish reflective sheen to it, why not just do that?Do you seen that pinkish sheen? Yea that's what I'm talking about. This product can be used as a moisturizer. I have tried it both ways, as a highlighter and a primer. It absorbs easily into the skin but the thing is, the sheen is so subtle to the point where you almost can't see it. I honestly don't see the hype for this product. It has a liquidy cream consistency, easy to blend and you don't need a lot of product to get the full affect.Conclusion:
-price: C
-packaging: C
-product quality: C
-Overall quality: C
-Buy again? No............Not worth it to me. I'd rather just use a highlighter if i want the "glow".
