WET N WILD LIMITED EDITION FAVORITES

Prepare yourself  for another post in our Feeling Pretty series...

I haven't been posting about many of my favorite makeup releases in the past year or two. So I thought I'd craft one epic blog post to share some of my new(ish) favorites! I've tried to ensure everything I'm sharing here is still available to purchase.

Zodiac Collection:

Wet n Wild has a beautiful Zodiac color icon lip gloss collection! Kaitlyn and I both fell in love with these lip glosses when we first saw them, and we both still adore these beautiful shimmery lip glosses! Good news - all 12 shades are perfect to wear during fall (and other times of the year)! Even better news - these glosses are very affordable and easy to find (both in stores and online)!

This shimmery collection has 12 zodiac lip glosses and between Kaitlyn and I, we own about half of them. Overall, I love the packaging of the lip gloss - however, a long term downside of the packaging is that the pretty gold design on the tube does scratch off over time, which is a shame! I think the glosses look so pretty on their own, but they also look fabulous over other lipsticks! The formula isn't sticky. There is a bit of a grit (it's really not that bad) to it because of  the shimmer and some colors are a bit difficult to take off. So don't be surprised if your lips are still shimmy after trying to remove the lip gloss color. (Although, Kaitlyn always wears these over another color, and she says she hasn't really noticed a gritty texture or had difficulty removing it at the end of the day - so the difference might be in the whether/what we wear these shimmers over.)

Pisces:

The Pisces is a sheer sparkly chrome cool pink.

Libra:

The Libra is a sparkly chrome warm pink with a subtle gold shimmer.

Capricorn:

The Capricorn is a cool dark rose with gold sparkles.

Virgo:

The Virgo is a soft cool taupe purple color with a sparkly finish.

Sagittarius:

The Sagittarius is a soft warm plum color with gold and pink sparkles.

Aries:

 

The Aries is a vampy deep warm burgundy satin finish and is the only lip gloss in the Zodiac collection that isn't sparkly. This does need two coats - I found one coat to be rather splotchy. 

These affordable shimmery lip glosses are available on the Wet n Wild website for $3.79, Amazon (some are Prime) for $2.98 - $3.18, and you can buy them at Walmart for $3.18!

Aren't they so pretty and shimmery? Kaitlyn and I enjoy these lip glosses! I highly recommend getting yourself one...or all 12! 

Little Twin Stars Collection:

I have the adorable face palette and Kaitlyn has both of the pretty lip mousse in the Wet n Wild Little Twin Stars collection but I can only find one available. Or if you want to take more of a go-big-or-go-home approach, you can purchase the entire collection on Amazon.

The Cotton Candy Clouds face palette is such a cute palette, and I think the embossed details in the shadows are so darling! It has 15 vibrant colors in soft matte, shimmer, and glitter shadows. The palette even smells good when you open it - it reminds me of maybe a fruity Lip Smacker. Is it weird to say that makeup smells good?! For the most part, the shadows are pigmented, blend easily and glide over the eyes beautifully. I love how the palette has both natural colors and fun pops of color! The glitter shadows are not as pigmented as the other colors, so I like wearing them with a similar color underneath. I did experience a kick up in the palette, and a bit of fallout.

Please note this is a face palette. Four of the pigments aren't eye safe, although I have seen several other people use the not-eye safe shadows on their eyes, and they didn't have any reaction. More on those four pigments later. 

First row of shadows

Twinning is a cool champagne shimmer.

Timid is a cool light peachy pink with a subtle shimmer (isn't eye safe).

Sugar High is a cool peachy-pink glitter (isn't eye safe).

Lala is a pretty cool pink shimmer (isn't eye safe).

Double the Fun is a warm lilac matte.

Second row of shadows

Sweet As Candy is a matte cool peach-beige color with a subtle shimmer.

Dec 24 is a warm peachy-coral matte.

Moon Dust is a cool white glitter.

Kiki is a matte cool blue with a subtle shimmer.

Curious is a deep warm plum matte (isn't eye safe).

Third row of shadows

Thinking Out Cloud is a warm beige matte.

Moon Beam is a warm gold glitter.

Star-Fishing is a cool silver glitter.

Fluffy Skies is a shimmery cool turquoise.

Dream Galaxies is a warm medium brown matte.

Now onto the lip mousse!

Lost In A Cloud:

The Lost In A Cloud lip mousse is a beautiful smooth matte-satin finish. I adore this shade of the lip mousse, and it feels so soft, creamy and hydrated when applied! It's medium coverage and is streak free. The mousse is so easy to apply that it just glides right over the lips! There is a little bit of glitter in the lip mousse, but not really that noticeable unless you're looking for the glitter. Lost In A Cloud is a warm matte rose.

I think the shadow palette is so cute and the lip mousse is so pretty with more of a natural look. The Cotton Candy Cloud palette can be purchased on Amazon for $13.99. The Lost In A Cloud lip mousse can also be purchased on Amazon for $5.99 and they are both Prime!

Care Bears Collection:

Wet n Wild released the Care Bears Collection back in April of this year. I was grocery shopping at my local Smith's Marketplace recently, and what did I spot out of the corner of my eye? The Care Bears Collection, even though the collection was released months ago! I was surprised to see it not only at Smith's, but that it was there at all! I'll be completely honest, I have never been a Care Bears fan (even though my mom disagrees, saying that I loved them when I was younger!), so I wasn't super excited when I heard about this collection (unlike the Stitch Collection, which will be in a future post). But when I saw it in person, I couldn't resist buying the Caring Counts eye and face palette. I also got the Give Me TLC lip care kit, since I was running out of my lip scrub and didn't have a lip mask.

I couldn't help buying the Caring Counts eye and face palette when it has such pretty fun bright colors! Again, I think the embossed details in the shadows are cute! It has 15 vibrant colors in soft matte, shimmer, and glitter shadows (just like the last palette). The shadows are pigmented and most of them feel soft, blend easily and glide over the eyes beautifully. Two of the shadows aren't eye safe - more on that later (as with the Twin Stars palette, I have seen several people who use the not eye-safe shadows on their eyes and they didn't have any reaction). In my opinion, the glitter shadows in the palette pop best with a similar color underneath - I don't recommend wearing these on their own. I did experience a kick up in the palette, and a bit of fallout. 

First row of shadows

Love-A-Lot Bear is a matte warm pink.

Tenderheart Bear is a matte cool peachy-tan. 

Birthday Bear is a warm shimmering gold. 

Good Luck Bear is a warm shimmer pea green.

Wish Bear is a matte cool dark teal. 

Second row of shadows

Cheer Bear is a warm pinky-red glitter.

Funshine Bear is a warm gold glitter with a little bit of orange.

Friend Bear is a warm shimmer orange.

Heart Song Bear is a cool shimmer teal.

Bedtime Bear is a cool turquoise glitter (isn't eye safe).

Third row of shadows

Share Bear is a shimmering cool icy periwinkle.

Care-A-Lot Bear is a shimmer cool iridescent white, with a blue hue.

Harmony Bear is a shimmering warm purple.

Best Friend Bear matte cool plum (isn't eye safe, it also does stain the skin pink if you wear it for a short amount of time).

Gummy Bear matte cool royal blue.

The Give Me TLC lip care kit (they can be purchased separately if you're only interested in one of them) comes with a lip scrub and a lip mask. They both have soothing scents!

Make It Sweet:

This exfoliating lip scrub is gentle on the lips and hydrates as well! When used the lips feel softer and smoother. It's a Birthday Cake scent (which is kinda disappointing - I was really hoping it would smell like honey). I was pleasantly surprised that it was in a stick form, as I was assuming that it would be in a pot! I like that I don't need to put my finger in a small messy pot!!! If you just want to purchase this separately, it can be ordered on Amazon.

Play, Sleep & Repeat:

This overnight lip mask balm is on the sheer side when applied to the lips. It also helps make the lips softer, smooth and feel hydrated. It's a lavender scent which, I know a lot of people love, but if you're someone who isn't a fan of the smell of lavender (like my sister Kaitlyn), I wouldn't recommend this for you. Again, I was happy when I discovered that this is in a stick form as well!!! If you want to purchase this separately, it can be ordered on Amazon.

The eye and face palette is so cute and the lip scrub as well as the lip mask feels great! The Caring Counts palette can be purchased on Walgreens online for $15.99. The Give Me TLC lip care kit can be purchased on Amazon for $10.99 and it's even Prime! Or maybe with a little luck, you too can snag this collection at your local grocery store!

I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my favorite limited edition makeup and lip care products to hit shelves in the last little while (and that are still available for purchase)! Let me know which products you tried out, or if you get something else from any of these collections!
