Sunday Night Check-In and Pics of Some Upcoming Reviews

August 8th, 2010 by Karen 16 Comments

Night, ladies. How was your Sunday? Since I was in that photography class most of the day, I didn’t think I’d have time for the open thread, but I did still want to check in and post a preview of some budget and luxury eyeshadows I plan to review this week.


Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trios in Cool as a Cucumber (left) and On Cloud Nine (right), $3 each


Swatches of Cool as a Cucumber on NC35 skin


Swatches of On Cloud Nine


Dolce & Gabbana Smooth Color Eyeshadow Quad in Petal, $59


Swatches of Petal

See anything you like? I have admittedly high hopes for the two $3 Wet n Wild trios, but part of me wonders how much I can logically expect when the individual colors work out to $1 apiece.

I guess we’ll find out soon enough… Sleep well! I’ll see you tomorrow. 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Cool as a Cucumber looks… well, cool as a cucumber! I like the colors. Can’t wait to read your review on it.

    And, as expected, the D&B quad is breath-taking.

    The green in the cucumber quad looks beautiful! It’s a shame the crease color in that palette doesn’t look very pigmented, it looked so pretty in the pan.

    The D&G quad is beautiful too.

    Love that Cool as a Cucumber. Do you advise certain eye shadows for different eye colors? I think I remember hearing that somewhere in the recesses of my girl-training.

    Love the D&G! And, yes, my eye immediately went to the giant pet hair roller and I thought “Man, I sooo need to get some of those!”. I’ll tell you, 3 cats is the tipping point in terms of shedding and litter box cleaning. Geesh! 🙂

    Aww, that’s adorable! One of my kitties loves to sleep in the bathroom sink, and the tub too.

    LOL! I’m glad I’m not the only one that noticed the giant pet hair roller first.

    Speaking of eyeshadow, I got a L’oreal HIP duo in Sassy yesterday at Target. It was on clearance for $3.38! I love Target clearance!!

    I really like the D&G, but $59?!?! Oh my sheesh! I can only spend that much on face potions and powder/foundation. I may have missed this post, but have you tried L’oreal’s Hip line? I’ve been curious, and the price is more up my alley.

        Thanks! I’ll have to make my way over to Ulta. I have a rule for cosmetic purchases..I only buy them where I can get rewards i.e. Sephora and Ulta, unless there’s a real bargain like the one you found.

    Love the D&G quad!!! however, the wet n wild ones are more priced for me so i will most likely go and check those out and skip on the D&G haha. thanks for the swatches! wnw has impressed me lately with their eyeshadows and i’m hoping these are just as goood! 😀

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
