Wet N Wild MegaSlicks Lip gloss

This is the first Wet n Wild product that I have tried. I wanted a new lip gloss and I picked out the color 566 Strawberry Ice.

I was not altogether unhappy with this product. It is a pretty color, and it has pretty good pigmentation. The formula smells nice, it has almost a fruity scent with hints of vanilla.

One problem I have had with these lipglosses is they are very sticky. Stickiness is something I absolutely hate in a lipgloss.

I personally will not be repurchasing, just because I hate the feeling of having sticky lip gloss on my lips. That said, in my opinion, for $1.99 there isn't a whole lot to complain about here. So if you are looking for a super affordable lip gloss and don't mind a sticky consistency, then I would definitely recommend this one.

Urban Decay Primer Potion

Another holy grail product here. I have nothing bad to say about the formula of this. It is the best eye primer I have tried. I got my first  sample of this when I got my Urban Decay Ammo pallet. I absolutely fell in love with it.

It makes your eye makeup last all day and it makes the colors look gorgeous and vibrant. I could not believe it the first time I put it on. Take my word for it, use this and your eyeshadow is not going anywhere. Below is the difference between the eyeshadows from the Urban Decay Ammo pallet with and without the primer potion.

For those wondering, the champagne color is called Maui Wowie and the reddish-purple color is Last Call. As I said they come in the ammo pallet but you can also buy them separately on the Urban Decay website.

The only downside is it is quite pricey! For the squeeze tube, which is about 0.37 fl oz, it's $20. It comes in the original shade, which I prefer because it dries invisible. It also comes in Eden, Sin, and Greed. Here are some swatches:

All things considered, if you don't mind splurging a little for the sake of beautiful makeup, this is definitely something I would reccomend. Absolutely gorgeous. I am very excited to try out more Urban Decay products in the future. Comment down below if you want me to do a comparison between this primer and some of the drugstore ones. Also let me know if you have a primer that I should try out. Thanks for reading!

Avon Extra Lasting Liquid Foundation

One of my most recent beauty purchases has made enough of an impression on me that I have decided to post a review on it after only a month of use. The product I am referring to is the extra lasting liquid foundation from Avon.

 If you have never heard of Avon or have heard of it and have never tried it, Avon is a cosmetics company that has (for the most part) good quality, affordable product.

However, I am not all that impressed with this liquid foundation. I have been trying it, as I said, for about a month now and it just is not a good foundation. It has a grainy texture. I find that it is very drying on my skin and feels extremely uncomfortable. It also tends to crease and look very cakey. It goes on looking like it matches my skin, but sets very orangey later on in the day. Below are two pictures. The first is a picture of my bare face with no foundation, and the second is with the Extra Lasting Liquid Foundation.

As you can see it has medium to light coverage, which I usually prefer to full coverage. It did a good job of covering the redness on my cheeks, chin, and forehead, but did nothing for the discoloration around my eyes and mouth.

It does have a few redeeming qualities though. The first being that it is long lasting. I have worn this foundation for a full day and did not require touch-ups. Secondly, it has SPF 12 which is something that I personally like in a foundation and is what drew me to this foundation in the first place. I am also a fan of the pump because a lot of affordable foundations have a pour spout.

I bought it on sale for $9.99 but the normal price is $12.50 and honestly, for the price, it's not worth it.I might try mixing it with a moisturizer to make a BB cream so that I get my money's worth, but I will most definitely not be repurchasing. Leave a comment below with a foundation for me to try next. And if you've tried this foundation, let me know what you thought.

The Huggies Glass Debacle

Earlier this month, I stumbled across a video in which Melissa Estrella, a mother from Camarillo, California expresses concern after finding what she says is glass or fiberglass in her package of Huggies wipes.

(While writing this article I searched for the original video online and couldn't find it. I'm not sure if it was removed but I was not able to locate it for you guys so I'm sorry if you haven't already seen it.)

After searching online to see what Huggies had to say about this, I found that they said that this wasn't glass and was in fact shiny fibers created during the manufacturing process. They informed worried parents that they could find answers to any further questions at https://www.huggies.com/en-us/wipes-faq

I had recently purchased this container of Huggies wipes for the son I am expecting come November. I had chosen this one because of the Winnie The Pooh packaging. I just thought it was so cute!

Of course I opened my it to investigate further and found that, yes, there were small, rough patches on the wipes. I tested a couple different ones and found that they all had this problem. What I found didn't feel like glass, and instead felt like a small chunk of hardened glue or just a rough patch in the wipe. Below are two different wipes that I tried out. You can see in the picture between my fingers where the rough patches are.

In conclusion, although I found no glass in my box of Huggies wipes, I was unhappy with how rough they were and would not use them on my sensitive newborn's bum because of the patches and chunks of glue. I am glad that I purchased Pampers wipes as my refills and I will hopefully like those better. I will do a review on them when I open them. Leave a comment below and tell me if you had a problem with Huggies wipes and leave suggestions of new brands of wipes that have worked for you in the past. Thanks for reading!

Welcome To My Blog

I don't know about you but I think it's the worst thing ever when you buy a product that you're super hyped to try, because maybe your favorite YouTube guru says it's God's gift to the world, or you saw a commercial on T.V. and you just had to have it, and then it turns out to be the worst thing you have ever used.

As a mom, I know how it is to not have a whole lot of extra money lying around and wasting it is a pain in the butt. That's why I'm here. I try out products, write up a review with my honest opinion, and voila, no more guessing. Send me a message or leave me a comment down below if you have any products you want me to review. I will also do comparisons on products, and check out myths about products. Enjoy!
