'Pride, Vanity and Lust' Look

Pride, Vanity and Lust' Look

This look was inspired by Alejandra from QueenBMakeup. I have admired her work from her early days in the Show Your Face forum on MakeUpGeek and she continues to rock our world on her blog as well as YouTube.

I used a lot of Wet 'n' Wild products this time around to show how great they perform. While I love the eye products I can't say the same for the lip products. I have had major issues when applying the Mega Last® Lip Colors because they creep into lip lines and will not stay put! I think they have great colors but the wear-ability is lacking in these.  

Eyes:

PRIME:
I started off with NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base all over my lid up to the brow bone. I applied MAC Layin' Low Paintpot (matte beige) all over my lid and on my brow bone as my primary base.

COLOR:
On the entire lid area I applied the matte Light Pink Eyeshadow from the Wet 'n' Wild Lust Palette.
For the outer lid and crease I used the Frosty Bronze Eyeshadow from the Wet 'n' Wild Vanity Palette.
On the outer crease and brow bone area I applied the Yellow Gold Eyeshadow from the Wet 'n' Wild Vanity Palette.
To deepen the outer V I used the Dark red-based Brown Eyeshadow from the Wet 'n' Wild Vanity Palette.
For my highlight I used the Sparkly Ivory Eyeshadow from the Wet 'n' Wild Lust Palette.
For my lower lashline I used the Frosty Dark Blue Eyeshadow - OUTER and the Frosty Forest Green Eyeshadow - INNER from the Wet 'n' Wild Pride Palette.

BROWS:
My brows are filled in with MAC Eyebrow Pencil in Stud and NARS Coconut Grove Eyeshadow (matte blackened brown).

DEFINE:
I lined my upper lashline with MAC Dipdown Fluidline Gel Eyeliner (matte dark brown).
I lined my lower waterline with L'Oreal HIP Cream Eyeliner in Black.
I used MAC Haute & Naughty Lash Mascara for my lashes with Beautee Senses Annie False Eyelashes for effect.




Lips:

POLISH: 
For my lips I used Wet 'n' Wild 900B Pink Suga' Mega Last® Lip Color (creamy light peachy nude) topped with MAC Chai Lipglass (creamy nude).


Face:

FINISH:
I prepped my skin with MAC Oil Control Lotion and Too Faced Primed & Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer. I used MAC Pro Longwear Foundation in NC45 for my face set with MAC Blot Powder in Dark. I used MUFE Full Cover Concealer in #12 under my eyes set with Benefit Powderflage. No blush.

Wet 'n' Wild ColorIcon Palettes PART 2 - Swatches and Thoughts...

Wet 'n' Wild ColorIcon Palettes PART 2 - THOUGHTS and SWATCHES...





COLOR ICON™ EYESHADOW PALETTE
Glamour-eyes from day to night! Each complementary shade can be mixed-and-matched for a variety of day-to-night looks. These palettes of 3 matte and 3 highly-pigmented effect shades are sure to please the shade sassy minimalist and enthusiast alike!


So being the glutton that I am (yes a play on the 7 deadly sins theme) I went ahead and picked up the other two palettes from the Wet 'n' Wild ColorIcon collection - Pride and Lust.
MY Four Ps

My first three Ps - Price, Packaging and Product - stay the same from the first review that you can read HERE.

Performance

These palettes are in sync with the first two. They applied beautifully, have great pigmentation and rocked my socks! The lightest shimmery shade from the Pride palette is so-so and comes off as an ivory sheen rather than the color you see. Other than than that all is well. The mattes are perfection and I think I will be using these a lot.

Overall the top two palettes are the Vanity and Lust palettes for sure since all six shades in each palette has great color payoff. The other two are also great but there is a slight miss with one or two of the shimmery shades.
