Wet n Wild Your 15 Minutes Aren't Up! Trio Swatches

I actually managed to find a Rite Aid that had the Wet n Wild trios from the summer's Pop Art Craze collection. The store had 5 of the 6 trios and I picked up 3 of them there and got the other 3 at a different store. The first one up is the Your 15 Minutes Aren't Up! trio.

I think this one probably has the worst pigmentation. That tends to be common with these type of colors, though, and the colors aren't unuseable in any way. This palette might be a good option if you want bright colors but maybe don't want them so bright.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Catwalk Palette Swatches

I've wanted a palette from Anastasia Beverly Hills since I tried a sample eye shadow palette card. I've had a hard time finding the palettes in stores around here so I didn't get the one I had a sample of. I did find the Ulta exclusive* Catwalk palette, though. It's $29 for 10 eye shadows and a dual-ended brush.

Most of the shadows are really nice and soft. I would say the exceptions are LBD, Day Rate, and Pose... but even those aren't bad. It's another nude palette with mostly shimmer shades, but a few mattes as well.

Wet n Wild Nude Awakening 8-Pan Palette Swatches

Wet n Wild's Nude Awakening 8-pan palette was the second of 2 palettes released in spring and re-released in summer.

Honestly, I'd say you can skip this one. There are so many nude palettes of varying prices and this is just more of the same. It's got the Wet n Wild Color Icon quality and I liked most of the colors, but I probably have all of these colors in a few other palettes. Now, if you need a nude palette, this is a good, well priced option.

Wet n Wild Going in the Wild 8-Pan Palette swatches

The Wet n Wild Going in the Wild palette was one of the two 8-pan palettes from their spring release and I couldn't find them anywhere. I eventually found them last month. At first I thought that Rite Aid was just crazy late putting them out, but I read that they were re-released this summer.

If I had to suggest one of the limited Wet n Wild eye shadow products to find this summer, it would be this one. They should still be around... I saw them as recently as last week. I love both eyelid shades, especially the left side. It's got a gold sparkle that doesn't really show up in the pictures.

Ipsy bag for August

It's time for a new Ipsy bag.

In this bag, I got a lot of useful products, but I have to say I'm a little disappointed with what I didn't get. There were 12 potential products and I really wanted some of the things I didn't get, especially the new Urban Decay lipstick. The products I did get are still good, though, and I'm sure that I'll use them all.

Shopping My Stash Makeup Basket for August

In July I was overly ambitious. I pretty much took all the samples I could find and decided to use those... along with so many other products. While I did make it through quite a few skincare samples, I had so many other products that I never got to at all.

This time, I do still have several of the samples I didn't get to but I wanted to limit some categories to just a few products that I want to use up or, in the case of eyeshadow, get some dedicated use out of.
