Wet n Wild Comfort Zone Palette Review

 Today's review is on the Wet n Wild Comfort Zone Palette. I have had this palette for awhile, but I have yet to do a review with swatches. I want to start off by saying this is my favorite drugstore neutral palette for brown eyes. 

The palette has two columns that I use for one eye look. I do like to use the shade on the top left instead of the grey shade on the right side to do an everyday look with. 

This palette is very, very silky and smooth. I love the colors. They are very pigmented and stay on very well with an eye primer (Too Faced Shadow Insurance or ELF Eyelid Primer). 



Below are the swatches of the palette. I started at the top left and worked down the palette to show the swatches. As you can tell, the shadows have a sheen to them. They are not glittery, but are buttery. Similar to Urban Decay shadows, but these are much more affordable. 







I wanted to take a closer swatch of the light green color in the palette, as it is my absolute favorite color in the palette.
I think that this color makes brown eyes really POP. I did a look awhile back using this palette where I used this green color.

I would rate this palette a 10/10. It is only $4.99 at CVS, Rite Aide, etc. I would definitely recommend going to pick it up!

If you have tried this palette out, let me know what you think of it.

FOTD: Blue and Black


Today's look is a little darker than what I would normally wear for spring. I had a Revlon eyeshadow laying around that I had only used once, so I thought it would be nice to try it out for today. I'll just be running some errands (going to UPS, Walmart, etc) today. Nothing that I really needed to get dolled up, but playing with makeup is so much fun! I also thought this look was a way to wear blue eyeshadow without looking like a middle school girl who just learned what makeup was lol! I toned down the blue by adding a soft cream colored highlight and some black to add depth at the outer-v area. Since the eyes are more intense, I paired it with a soft peach cheek and a glossy neutral lip. 

I hope that you all enjoy this look! Let me know what you think of it!

FOTD: Glasses/New foundation

Hi everyone! Sorry that I haven't been posting. I've been having some really bad allergy attacks lately, so my face has been too puffy to do any makeup looks. I recently purchased a new foundation, so I wanted to do a face of the day using it. I will be doing a full review on the foundation after I've used it a few more times. Stay tuned for more reviews and a new series of Monthly Favorites! 

I think this look is a nice soft look for spring.

Makeup Challenge- Drugstore only



Hi everyone! I thought that it would be really fun to try to create a retro inspired look using purple lipstick instead of red. I thought that a thicker eyeliner with a soft, neutral, purple eye would help me achieve this retro look. I also wanted to do a drugstore only look. Ever since I bought my BH cosmetics palettes, I have not been using any of my drugstore eyeshadows. This challenge gave  me some room to give those products some love. If you like this look, make sure to follow my blog for an upcoming review of the lipstick that I am wearing!

Eyes:
Covergirl Professional Eye Enhancers in Grape Soda
Covergirl Eye Enhancers Tri eyeshadow (unsure of names of colors, but it was for the lighter brown in the  outer-v
