Tabs chillin’ in his spa (notice the “Giant Pet Hair Roller” in the upper right corner, ha ha!)
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

August 9th, 2010 at 3:22 amCool 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 D&G quad is beautiful too.

August 9th, 2010 at 6:04 amLove 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.

August 9th, 2010 at 6:42 amLove 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! 🙂

August 9th, 2010 at 7:19 amLOL! 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!!
alicia says
August 9th, 2010 at 8:44 amI 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.
Kymberlee says
August 9th, 2010 at 11:11 amI just tried the eyeshadow and it seems really blendable to me!
alicia says
August 9th, 2010 at 8:46 amwell lookee there, kymberlee just bought it! I don’t read the comments before I comment. Maybe I should 🙂
Kymberlee says
August 9th, 2010 at 11:11 amI wore it this morning and I have to say that I do like it!
alicia says
August 9th, 2010 at 1:46 pmThanks! 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.

August 9th, 2010 at 9:24 amI didn;t expect cloud nine to look so good! Lol I have that same pet hair roller
Nina says
August 9th, 2010 at 10:35 amYou know whats funny – Linus did the exact same thing last week – lay in our sink like that! I took a picture of it … 😀
Im loving those wet n wild eyeshadows, they have surely stepped up their eyeshadow game! 🙂
Agnes says
