WetnWild Natural Wear Pressed Powder
Posted in Product Reviews on October 14th, 2009 by Kristen Jason – Comments Off on WetnWild Natural Wear Pressed Powder
Radiant, healthy skin seems to always be ‘in’. But the dewy look went out of style in 2004. So those of us with oily skin must take extra steps so our makeup doesn’t dissolve mid-day into shiny patches. To set our foundation, we liked WetnWild Natural Wear Pressed Powder. Our foundation looked wonderfully matte the whole day and it didn’t cake in certain areas like some powders tend to. And since it has vitamins and a multi-mineral complex, your skin is in better condition after wearing it. We found it was easier to apply using a big powder brush instead of the puff that’s provided. The bonus? It comes in eco-conscious paper packaging.
Thick lashes without clumping? It IS possible! Wetnwild’s MegaVolume Thickening Mascara thickens your eyelashes, but the formula itself is not thick and goopy at all. The brush design separates your lashes and reaches even the tiny ones at the corners so you don’t have to keep applying. This product does not give dramatic effect, but its natural finish and eyelash conditioners make it ideal for everyday wear. We also loved that the price is easy on the wallet as well.
When you pack for your summer vacation, you should bring sunblock for your skin AND your lips. WetnWild BeautyBenefits Mint Infusions Lip Tint has an SPF of 15, and antioxidants to protect your lips. A welcome bonus was its peppermint oil ingredient, which freshens breath and gives a cooling sensation. The colors may seem dark in the packaging, but this gloss is really a tinted balm with extreme shine. If you like more color, try a dab on top of your lipstick.
Although we all like the benefits of mascara that can persevere through tears and rain, we are often left with dry and brittle lashes. WetnWild’s H20 Waterproof Mascara is waterproof without the damage. It contains vitamin E and conditioners so your lashes are left soft and nourished. It’s also safe for contact lens wearers. Now we feel confident wearing makeup to the beach and the gym.
Did you know that you should throw lip gloss out after 9 months? Chances are, you have some tubes in your makeup bag that are way past the point of expiration. We refreshed our own lip gloss supply with WetnWild Speedgloss Energizing Lip Shine. There is no wand to mess around with, or pot to stick your finger in, you just simply squeeze the tube and apply the gloss like lipstick.
Most women want only a bit of shimmer and don’t want to end up looking like they’re glittering up for a rave. WetnWild i-Sparkle Eyeshadow has a selection of eyeshadow quartets that brighten the eyes with a subtle shimmer.
Mineral makeup has a ton of benefits, but it definitely has room for improvement in the available selection of shades. If you can’t find the perfect for shade for your skin but want the benefits of mineral powder, you may want to try the WetnWild BeautyBenefits Fresh Effects Mineral Veil in the translucent shade.
The WetnWild BeautyBenefits Dual Effects Lip Pencil glides on smoothly and blends well, but they also added something extra. On the other side of the pencil there is a balm that plumps and conditions the lips with botanical extracts. All of the lip pencil colors are natural looking, matte shades (we liked the Raisin shade the most). The order of operation is balm, liner, then lipstick or gloss. We don’t suggest trying to use the liner all over, it’s a bit too dry to try to use it as a lipstick as well. The balm has a nice lightweight texture that went perfectly under our lip color.
It turns out that a high quality makeup brush that doesn’t cost a fortune actually exists! We tried this PETA friendly brush with the BeautyBenefits Fresh Effects Mineral Foundation and achieved a natural looking finish. It can also be used for bronzer, pressed powder, or blush. The brush is also anti-microbial treated, which is a must for those of us who are prone to blemishes.
Quality eyeshadow has never been so affordable. We have found the perfect palette of colors for the Spring! For around $5, the WetnWild Ultimate Expressions Eyeshadow Palette has 8 long wearing eyeshadows. Fantasy Island 398 is our favorite shadow combination this season. It has vibrant hues that will match any spring wardrobe, and also includes a matte selection of brown and cream (reminiscent of the Bobbi Brown best selling shadow, Bone).
