Hidden Gems : Wet n Wild + Prestige

Hey folks! So I'm trying to post more interesting and vibrant posts alongwith some handy photos :) Anywho, this is a post I will do once every while called "Hidden Gems". These would include a series of underrated products either drugstore, high end or just random beauty related items that I find work extremely well for their cost.

There will posts like, Dont buy the hype! Or products that fail miserabily (in my opinion!) Either way, I will posta bout products good or bad, and give you my honest review and if theyare worth buying, and who should consider buying them and stuff.


Anywho, these posts will be relatively New, so please feel free to leaverequests or comments if you'd like an opinion on certain products eg. skincare,diys, hair, etc. :)
So let's get started with these Hidden Gems! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here we have Wet n Wild Mega glo ++ Prestige single eyeshadows.Photobucket
Bottom line? These products are worth the money, and will not empty your wallet Just like that!

Photobucket
Effect: Very, very similar to the Famous MAC MSFS. So looking for an alternative? Here it is! They have a bronze shade (Starlight bronze) and A pink shade called Catwalk pink. Very nice radiant dewy glow it gives!

Color payoff:Great for Bronzer, but I find that all the shades are very similar. Catwalk pink is a bitmore sheer, so better for natural gals. Definitely more of a highlighter.

Texture:Fine, but not AS fine as an MSF, but still use with caution because these crumble very easily!!

Long lasting? Yes (3.5/5)

Cost: Around $4-5 CAD (Probably cheaper if there's deals or coupons)

Is this worth buying?? Yep! if you want to experience a product similar to an MSF ($35 CAD). However, if you deteste shimmery, sparkly products PLEASE AVOID!! These have a high amount of fine sparkle to create that glowy look, so if you do not like the attention to be drawn to your cheeks restrain! Also, if you plan on looking "natural" just use a bit, or just avoid this product. Like I said, it's heavily packed with sparkles and glam.

*NO Swatches :(*


Next is the Prestige Eyeshadows! I love this babies :D, lucent color with more sparkle andlots of shades to choose from and arent your typical brand like CG, or maybelline! BOttom line? These eyeshadows do not have intense color, but their eyecatching shimmer makes the product unique.

Effect: Sparkly fine shimmer and tends to look more "creamy" and smooth, rather than powdery or chalky

Color payoff: No extreme color payoff, not exactly Dull or unpigmented. Infact there is a fair amount of pigmentation and one swipe will give the same color payoff has 3 swipes!

Texture: Real nice choice of colors, and the texture is somewhat soft and finely milled, and nowherenear chalky or dry!

Long lasting? Yes (4/5) Works the very best with a primer.

Cost: Around $4-5 CAD

Is this worth buying?? Definitely, if you tried most eyeshadows either from MAC, sephora, or drugstorethese are worthy to be part of your collection or if you just want simple, individual shades you cannot find! Sometimes looks like "cream eyeshadow" because of it's softness which may be likeable or a turn off for some of you! You can even use some shades, like Champagne as a Blusher / Bronzer! *pic below*
