Prepare yourself for another post in our Feeling Pretty series...
My friend, sister, and I were shopping at Walmart and what did we discover while browsing? Wet n Wild had a Sesame Street Collection!
I had actually checked the Wet n Wild website a few weeks prior and didn't see anything about this collection yet. The Sesame Street Collection can be purchased at Walmart and on Wet n Wild's website — but it is missing a few items, so it won't give you the full collection.
The display we saw had four sides, and of course I snapped pictures of each one. On the first side, t he top row had glitter lip glosses. On the bottom row there were lipsticks, temporary tattoos, and glitter gel.
Moving to the next side...the top row contained a lip scrub stick (Cookie Monster), lip mask stick (Grover), red lip gloss (Elmo), and setting powder (Big Bird). In the middle row there was a blue eyelash curler (Cookie Monster) and false lashes (Abby Cadabby). The bottom row had a headband (Elmo) and gem face mask (Telly).
On the third side, the top row had a complexation trio. On the middle row there was a brush holder (Elmo), multi-sticks (Cookie Monster), and a hand mirror (Cookie Monster). The bottom row contained more multi-sticks and a prime & setting mist in one (Count von Count)!
On the final side, there was an eye and face palette (which I of course had to get!) on the top row. The second row down had a makeup sponge and case (Oscar the Grouch). The third row down contained a set of four colorful makeup brushes, and a makeup bag sat on the bottom row.
Coming from someone who didn't grow up watching Sesame Street and isn't a huge fan — I still think that the packaging is really cute! I was so especially to try the palette.
It seems like I'm not the only one who liked these products...although Shadow was definitely more drawn to the lip products than the palette!

1 2 3 Sesame Street Palette:
This eye and face palette has such beautiful colors. I love that there's a mix of neutrals along with fun, bright shades. There's also a blend of matte, shimmer, and glitter pigments.
Most of the shades feel soft and buttery. They're blendable, nicely pigmented, and there's a bit of fallout. The glitter shades do have some grit to them, but not too bad for glitter shadows. The embossed pigments are adorable, and overall this palette feels very versatile.
Note: Almost half of the pigments aren't eye and lip safe.
1 2 3 Sesame Street can be purchased at Walmart and Walmart's website, and Wet n Wild's website.

Happy To Be Me lip glosses
Happy To Be Me lip gloss line includes four glitterey glosses. However, they remind me a lot of the glosses from the Wet n Wild Zodiac Collection (which I wrote about a while ago), so I only picked up one shade.
Since it's a glitter gloss, there is a bit of grittiness — but nothing terrible. It's sheer, very high shiner, not sticky, and looks beautiful worn alone or layered over other lip colors. These glosses can be purchased at Walmart and Wet n Wild's website.
Fun-Sized
This pretty glittery gloss is a cool soft coral, with Zoe on the bottom of the tube.
Fairy Tales is similar to Libra, just a little bit lighter.
My honest opinion — keeping in mind I only personally purchased and tested one Sesame Street gloss — is that you probably don't need these if you already own the similar Zodiac shades. They don't add a lot of variation...unless you're a huge Sesame Street fan and just have to have them!

L is for Lipstick
When I went back to Walmart to do the gloss comparisons, I decided to grab both of the lipsticks too!
Both have a satin finish and they apply easily. They're on the sheer side but slightly buildable — though you're not going to get bold, heavily pigmented color from them. These can be purchased at Walmart and Wet n Wild's website.
Be Kind:
A pretty pink shade that's fairly close to my natural lip color. It isn't full coverage and features Abby Cadabby in the center of the lipstick.
Giggles:
This pretty red subtle shimmer lipstick that's even more sheer than Be Kind, with Elmo in the middle center. Giggles can be purchased at Walmart.
I think both of these lipsticks are pretty, but I do wish they were more pigmented and had more shimmer.

Lip Care
I got really excited when I saw they made the lip scrub and lip mask in a stick form! If they had been in pots, I wouldn't have bought them — I just don't like sticking my fingers into those little jars. So thank you, Wet n Wild, for making sticks!!!
Me Love Cookie:
This is such a fun lip scrub! Most scrubs I see are light, boring colors, so I enjoyed this dark turquiose Cookie Monster shade. It does turn the lips blue though, so I had to wipe off the color and excess sugar after use.
It felt moisturizing at first, but as I got closer to the base of the stick, the grit started to feel a bit harsh. I'd suggest applying lip balm first for extra protection.
The smells really good — like fresh blueberries. Me Love Cookie can be purchased at Walmart and Wet n Wilds website.
Save The Day:
Grover's bright turquoise lip mask balm feels super soft and hydrating. I was surprised that it tinted my lips blue — I expected it to go on clear!
It also had a sweet blueberry scent (not quite as strong as the scrub). Save The Day can be purchased at Walmart and Wet n Wild's website.
Even though I'm not a Sesame Street fan, I really do love these products! Wet N Wild has been doing some fun childhood throwback collections lately, which has me hoping they'll dip into some of my favorite cartoons next.
If anyone at Wet n Wild is reading this...maybe consider a Scooby-Doo collection in the future!?!
