Review and Swatches for Wet n Wild Megalast Lipstick– Mocha-Licious 914C

Good Morning Girls,
Today I am back again with one more Megalast Lipstick from Wet n Wild Cosmetics, its called Mocha-licious. This is deep caramel brown color, silky and smooth but still gives the feeling of creamy matte. I love all Lipsticks from WetnWild, this is another gorgeous color, can be worn in most of the seasons.

The only thing I don’t like about wetnwild mega last lipsticks are their packaging. It’s little cheap and half of lipstick still hangs on top when you close the lid. You tend to break your lipstick when you close the lid, so be careful.

Review and Swatches for Wet n Wild Megalast Lipstick– Cinnamon Spice 917B

Hi girls, how are you, today I am reviewing and swatching another WetnWild Mega last lipstick from my collection called Cinnamon Spice 917B , after reading this post please have a look at the links provided in bottom of this post, where I have mentioned all other 14 WetnWild Lipsticks I have posted on my blog.

Review:-

Picked up from Walgreens for $2. Its one of the best color in lipsticks for fall and Winter. This 4-hour, longwearing lip color leaves a semi-matte, creme finish in one stroke. Glides on easily with rich, velvety color that doesn't cake, feather, or bleed.
Cinnamon Spice is a very dark berry plum color, with little brown undertones to it. looks gorgeous on all skin tones. Its  little dry but who cares if you get such pretty color in 2$. You can wear a lip balm underneath and exfoliate your lips and you are good to go. It does not bleed on you it is  a matte lipstick. The only thing I don’t like about wetnwild mega last lipsticks are their packaging. It’s little cheap and half of lipstick still hangs on top when you close the lid. You tend to break your lipstick when you close the lid, so be careful.

Swatches for Sinful Colors Steel Reserve and Holiday Nail Art 3

Sinful Shine Steel Reserve is perfect Winter color, its dark gray color with blue undertones to it. It is so opaque in one coat, but still requires two coats.

I have also done a stamping nail art in this as Holiday Nail Art 3 with snowflakes design. Hope you like it. Enjoy the swatches, I have done matte top coat first and then stamped snowflake over it. I have used Shany Cosmetics Stamping plate in this design.

Pantone has released its color of the year for 2015. Marsala is a subtly seductive shade, one that draws us in to its embracing warmth.Leatrice EisemanExecutive Director, Pantone Color Institute^®

http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/index.aspx

A UNIFYING ELEMENT

The impactful, full-bodied qualities of Marsala make for an elegant, grounded statement color when used on its own or as a strong accent to many other colors.

Marsala is a subtly seductive shade, one that draws us in to its embracing warmth.Leatrice EisemanExecutive Director, Pantone Color Institute^®

A TASTEFUL HUE

Much like the fortified wine that gives Marsala its name, this tasteful hue embodies the satisfying richness of a fulfilling meal while its grounding red-brown roots emanate a sophisticated, natural earthiness.

Nurturing and fulfilling, Marsala is a natural fit for the kitchen and dining room – making it ideal for tabletop, small appliances and linens throughout the home.Leatrice EisemanExecutive Director, Pantone Color Institute^®

A Hearty Yet Stylish Tone

Add elegance to any room by incorporating this rich and welcoming hue in accent pieces, accessories and paint. Marsala’s plush characteristics are enhanced when the color is applied to textured surfaces, making it an ideal choice for rugs and upholstered living room furniture.

This hearty, yet stylish tone is universally appealing and translates easily to fashion, beauty, industrial design, home furnishings and interiors.Leatrice EisemanExecutive Director, Pantone Color Institute^®

Why Marsala:-

The Versatility of Marsala

• Equally appealing to men and women, Marsala is a stirring and flavorful shade for apparel and accessories, one that encourages color creativity and experimentation
• Flattering against many skin tones, sultry and subtle Marsala is a great go-to color for beauty, providing enormous highlight for the cheek, and a captivating pop of color for nails, shadows lips and hair.
• Dramatic and at the same time grounding, the rich and full-bodied red-brown Marsala brings color warmth into home interiors
• An earthy shade with a bit of sophistication, texture is the story in print and packaging. A matte finish highlights Marsala’s organic nature while adding a sheen conveys a completely different message of glamour and luxury.

Swatches WetnWild Gray’s Anatomy 237C and Holiday Nail Art 1

Hi Girls Happy Friday, Here is my Nail art pictorial after a long time. I have not done any Nail Art since long time now. I tried this Rose Nail Art first time , hope you will  like it. It is my Holiday Nail Art.
I have used WetnWild Fast Dry Gray’s Anatomy as my nail bed base. This is a a very beautiful dual chrome gray nail polish with purple undertones to it. It is actually Fast Dry nail polish.

For roses I use a pink color nail polish dotted with a dotting tool, let it dry for some time and make green leaves with a green nail polish, with a small dotting tool.
When the pink color is completely dry add the silver lines with a dotting tool as shown below. You can use any other color also, I used silver as it suits the base color more and it is holiday season so I used a little bling. Later I took a top coat with tiny shimmer and dit on my other fingers where nail art art is not made. That is completely optional.


Cheers
