wet n wild
I was sent this lipstick a while ago, although I admit I've only started using it as of late. The formula is super similar to the MAC cremesheen lipsticks, which is a bonus. 'Lady Luck' is a peachy coral shade with the smallest amount of shimmer. I can imagine this would look amazing on those graced with tanned skin, but it also looks great on fair skin! €10.99
'Mauve Outta Here' is one of my favorite shades, and the Wet N' Wild MegaLast lipsticks are brilliant! They have a matte finish but aren't too drying, and last for hours. Not only that, but they're at a bargain price too- score! 'Mauve Outta Here' is a blue toned pink, meaning it's borderline purple. €2.99
Yet another Wet N'Wild lipstick, but yet another beautiful colour. Coral-ine isn't really too coral in my opinion, but more of an orange toned red. Like 'mauve outta here', it has amazing longevity and is also pretty moisturising for a matte lipstick. I can't wait to try more shades from this range! I recommend matte lipsticks in Summer because they won't melt straight off. €2.99
My nana brought this home for me from Canada, and at first I was a bit doubtful as I'd never tried a liquid lipstick before! After trying this out, I'm hooked. It's extremely matte and can be a bit dry, but it lasts for hours even throughout eating and drinking. This classic red is perfect for those Summer nights, or the days when you want your lipstick to last in the strong heat! $13
So there you have it! 5 of my favorite Summer shades.

Preparation;
I find it best to apply a basecoat before painting my nails, and a topcoat after. The basecoat stops the polish from staining your nails, and the topcoat will make it last longer and appear glossier. I use a Sally Hansen nail hardener as my basecoat, and an Essence topcoat.
Tutorial;
1. Paint all of your nails except your ring finger red. I love my new Wet N' Wild one, it's beautifully opaque and dries super quickly! Paint your ring finger two coats of your favorite white.
2. Using a cocktail stick or nail art brush, paint two large stripes of grey horizontally across the white. It doesn't have to be perfect, as the heart will cover most of it!
3. Taking the same red polish you used on the rest of your nails, carefully draw a red heart onto your nail.
4. After the heart has dried, apply some red glitter polish to the heart.
And you're done! Hope you enjoyed this tutorial.

Hey everyone,
I realise I'm about a week late to share the news, but I'm delighted to say that the renowned American brand Wet N' Wild has hit Irish shores! I think it's brilliant that brands are coming to Ireland- first Sleek, now Wt N' Wild. As soon as I seen the countless tweets, I rushed out to get a few items. Although most of the lipsticks were gone [you know how much I love my lipsticks- sigh], I did pick up a few items that were well required. Seeing as I've only had these less than a week, I thought I'd write about my first impressions rather than a full on review on each item.
Megasticks Balm Stain in shade E127 'A Stiff Pink'- €3.99
Ok, I'm going to be completely honest here- I've never tried a chubby stick/lip crayon. I've just never really felt like I had to, and lipsticks will always be my main love. I was intrigued as this promises to be a moisturising balm and a lip stain! I've only used this twice; once on my lips, once to watch on my arm. The swatch on my arm took endless scrubbing to come off, proving the stain really does last. When applied on my lips, I was a bit irritated that it doesnt really come out the shade it looks. As you can see in the photo above, it looks like a bright baby pink, however applied it looks more fuschia. I'll give it another few go's before making a decision!
Wild Shine Nail Colour in E417F 'Eggplant Frost' & E414A 'Red Red'- €1.99
I've been in need of a new red and purple polish lately, and these two caught my eye. Eggplant Frost is a beautiful shimmery purple, and Red Red is definitely a blue based red. I have yet to wear these on my nails, but I did swatch them on some false nails, and the colour pay off looks amazing! For €1.99, I doubt you can go wrong.
Megaclear Brow & Lash Mascara
As I've mentioned recently, since changing my fringe up my eyebrows are on show, so I've been making more of an effort with them to make them look more respectable. I watched a few youtube videos, and it seems alot of beauty gurus recommend using a brow gel. I can't remember the price of this one, but it was definitely cheap! I've been using this all week and I love it already- it keeps my brows in place, without leaving them feeling 'crispy'. Bargain!
Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed so far, and I will definitely be heading back for more. Wet N' Wild cosmetics are stocked in Dunnes Stores throughout the country.
