The other night after class I popped into my local CVS store to pick up some items I have had my eyes on for awhile. (CVS is, it's the exact same thing as Walgreens, Drug Mart, or Rite-Aid.)Anywho....I know 2 of the items purchased are fairly new, but I am not quite sure how new the other items are.
***Let me just note I have not used any of these products yet because I wanted to get pictures and swatches and everything for this post. If you are interested in a review on anything or have questions regarding the products please let me know.***
The first things I picked up were 2 new polishes by Essie. They are the Bikini So Teeny and Mojito Madness. I have to be honest, I was not too sure about the colors of both of these. I tend to gravitate more towards darker colors (even in the spring or summer months). But this year I have really broken out of my shell buying neons and bright, fun colors.
Bikini So Teeny is this gorgeous periwinkle blue. And Mojito Mint seriously looks just like the starbucks green! I am so excited to use these.
I picked up 2 of the Wet-n-Wild shadow trios. The first is in Cool As A Cucumber and consists of a light, celery like green for the browbone, a darker plum color for the crease, and an olive green for the eye lid. I have really dark brown eyes and I think colors like the greens and pinks work well for my eye color.
The other trio is Silent Treatment which has a pretty salmon like pink for the browbone, a darker shimmery chocolate like color for the crease, and a neutral pinky taupe for the lid color. I have been dying to use these but really wanted to get photos for you guys.
All of the other items I picked up are by Milani. I got 3 eyeshadows and a blush. The blush is in the shade 08 Coralina. It looks somewhat scary and intense. It's the brightest blush I have ever owned. It looks like this intense orange, but can be sheered out to a lovely coral.
The 3 eyeshadow shades are from their Runway Eyes collection. Shades #15 - Golden Touch, Peaches and Cream (I don't know the number because I accidentily ripped it off trying to open the container), and #02 Blackout. I have not used any of these products but I am excited to try them....maybe a tutorial?! =)

They aren't as pigmented dry, they actually don't have much color payoff dry, they just look like tinted sparkle. But if you use them wet they are little more intense, like an explosion of color!!!
