Brand review: wet n wild

This is one of my favorite brands: high quality, cruelty-free products at drugstore prices.


The Color Icon lipliners (Chestnut, Willow, Berry Red) are creamy, smooth, not drying, and stay on until you remove them. I actually use then as lipsticks, applying them all over the lips.

You can eat and drink and they will not bleed. My favorite is Willow because it’s close to my natural color. And they only cost a dollar.

Ingredients:
Beeswax/Cire d'abeille, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax/Cire de carnauba, Petrolatum, Ceresin, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Sorbic Acid, [+/- (MAY CONTAIN/PEUT CONTENIR): Mica, Iron Oxides/CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499, Titanium Dioxide/CI 77891, Red 40 Lake/CI 16035, Red 7 Lake/CI 15850, Red 6 Lake/CI 15850, Yellow 5 Lake/CI 19140, Manganese Violet/CI 77742, Blue 1 Lake/CI 42090]

MegaLast Lip Colors: Cherry Bomb, Stoplight Red, 24 Carrot Gold

These are longwearing lip colors with a semi-matte cream finish. The colors are rich and you only need one stroke to get enough quantity. They glide on easily, they don’t cake or bleed. They don’t dry the lips, since they contain hydrating ingredients, such as hyaluronic microspheres and natural marine plant extracts coenzyme Q10 and vitamins A & E.

Color Icon Eyeshadow 10 Pan Palette in Comfort Zone

I haven’t used this often but the colors are nice and pigmented. The palette contains both matte and shimmery ones, including two transitional shades.

Color Icon™ Blush – Apri-Cot in the Middle

I love how this radiant powder looks on my skin – it has copper-like reflections. It is lightweight and long-lasting. It adds to one’s personality.

MegaCushion Foundation SPF 15

This liquid foundation in a cushion compact is perfect for travel. The shade I chose matches my skin tone perfectly and it looks like I have nothing on. It is luminous, lightweight, and buildable. It has a faint perfume which goes away after application.

Ultimate Brow Kit in Ash Brown

The name itself says it all! This small compact contains everything a woman needs to shape, smooth and maintain perfect eyebrows: tweezers, a built-in mirror, brow brush, two brow powders – a lighter one and a darker one, one brow setting wax. The powders last all day and don’t budge, until you use makeup remover.

When I use this kit, people tell me that there is something different about me. All this for less than $5!

Pellamar Gel - BioActive S Acne review

Pellamar is a Romanian company that creates skincare products containing sapropel – therapeutic mud from a specific lake. It claims to be non-comedogenic and paraben-free, to cleanse the skin, remove impurities and excess sebum without drying the skin. It contains lavender flour extract, which is antiseptic and anti-inflammatory and helps heal wounds, burns, etc. The mud extract has a hydrating and protective role. It contains key amino acids: alanine, proline and glycine that have the effect of slowing down the aging process. Salycilic acid acts as an exfoliant, deeply cleans the pores and can improve the skin's structure and color. I started using this gel last summer, when the pimples and dark spots and other weird stuff on my skin started bothering me. I use a pea-size amount of product, mix it with a little water and spread it evenly. I leave it on for a couple of minutes then rinse it off with warm water. It doesn’t smell great (due to the mud component) but the sm...

Maybelline Dream Satin BB Cream review

I don’t usually use foundation so I’ve always tried to find a product that makes me look good and has SPF. Since I started to get sun spots, I realized that I can’t go out in the sun anymore without something that protects my skin. I used sunscreen but I didn’t like the smell or the way it looked on me – sometimes when I sweated it turned white. I love this BB cream – it makes me look fresh and healthy, even when I’m tired or I don’t feel well, it makes my skin look dewy. I don’t use a primer or anything else, just blush on my cheeks. It lasts for a long time, I’ve been out for 6-8 hours and I still looked good when I returned home. The description says it is an 8-in-1 BB Cream, it brightens, smoothes and hydrates, it gives skin a dewy finish, it adjusts to skin tone and blurs imperfections – I agree with all of this. It has SPF 30. I use a small amount and blend it in with a foundation brush or a make-up sponge. List of ingredients: TITANIUM DIOXIDE, WATER, ETHYLHEXYL PALMITATE...
