Wet'n'Wild Fergie Creme Liner in Cocoa Riche ($4.99)
I hadn't had a bad experience with Wet'n'Wild until now. I bought this eyeliner with high hopes because their original Black Gel Liner gets raved about often. First of all, I don't love the color. I was hoping for a warm toned brown. Instead it comes off very grey and cool toned which looks like faded black liner on the eyes. That's just a personal preference though. The deal breaker for me is that the formula is hard to work with. It's too wet. Whenever you try to go over a line, the existing line slides and looks patchy. I'd rather pay a bit more for a L'Oreal or Maybelline gel/cream liner (and those are actually really good!)
Revlon PhotoReady Cream Blush in Pinched ($12.99)
I actually bought this months ago and have been trying to make it work since. After 4 unsuccessful attempts, I gave up and decided I just don't like it. It's nothing like any cream blush I've used before (in a bad way!) The formula is slippery and doesn't adhere to the skin well. Whenever I try to blend it, it goes a bit patchy in some places because it slides around too much. Plus, I think the finish is too dewy. It never sets and I feel it makes me look greasy. It sits on the skin and doesn't look natural. It's ironic because it's everything a cream blush shouldn't be. It wears off easily and doesn't look more natural than a powder. It's such a shame because the color is beautiful. For the price I much prefer the formula of the NYX Cream Blushes (review) and those are cheaper!The rest of my makeup (products I do like): Laura Mercier Oil Free Tinted Moisturizer, Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer in 53, Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder, Milani Shadow Eyez Pencil in Champagne Toast (review), Wet'n'Wild Rose Champagne Glow Shimmer Palette (highlighter), Collection 2000 Super Size Fat Lash Mascara, and Revlon Prim Rose Lipstick.
I love the makeup you're wearing, you look so flawless :D So sorry for the products you don't really like. The winged eyeliner looks amazing on you by the way!

You look flawless! Ive never tried wet and wild products before! :D the revlon cream blush is gorgeous!!! Xxx
ReplyDeleteYou always look so pretty! I'll avoid that Revlon cream blusher in the future, thank you for sharing. xxx
ReplyDeleteI love your makeup here, it's a shame you don't like the eye liner because I think it looks stunning. I have that blush (I wont it in a giveaway) and I have never worn it actually...
ReplyDeleteYou're so gorgeous Coco! I love your FOTD posts. That's such a shame about those products. The blushers were so hyped up on YouTube last summer and I'm sort of glad I didn't get them! NYX cream blushes ARE amazing! Wish I could easily get my hands on more cause then I'd be set. & btw, that highlighter looks stunning on your cheeks! xx

Too bad the blush is not good, looks so lovely on you : / I hate doing bad reviews too, but those are the ones that have saved me a lot of $$$ so they do come in handy though aren't fun to write about. Wow, the liner looks almost black, I had to look at the photos twice to see it is actually brown. I haven't used WnW in ages, would love to try their 3 colour palettes and the bigger ones too (insert Comfort Zone here LOL), those look amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review Coco! xx
You lok absolutely gorgeous Coco!! And from what I've heard, the whole Wet n Wild Fergie collection was pretty much a bust so I'm not surprised that you didn't get along with the liner :/

Ah I had a swatch of the Revlon blushes in Boots and thought exactly the same, the formula is so slippery and wet? If that even makes sense. You look beautiful as always xx
ReplyDeleteYou look so flawless, thanks for reviewing these products as well, it is nice to see the flip side of the coin! xxx

Oh the Revlon cream blush looks sooo pretty, such a bummer that it's not all that great. Love the makeup you're wearing! xx
ReplyDeleteDislikes or not, you look amazing Coco xx I had a similar experience with the bright shade of the Revlon Photoready cream blush (forget shade name). Oh well !
ReplyDeleteI had the same problem with the Revlon blush, I had the pink one. I'm glad to know that I'm not crazy!
ReplyDeletePinched is such a pretty color on your cheeks though! Overall, this is definitely a good look on you :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty look! The LM TM leaves such a nice finish on your skin. And thanks for the heads up about the less-than-stellar products you tried. Like you said, rants aren't as fun to write as product raves, but they can be just as helpful! :)

Ohhhh pretty WnW highlighter! I think I need this, it looks great on you x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as always :) I like reading negative reviews because it helps me save money by avoiding the products.
ReplyDeleteI tried a Wet n Wild gel liner in purple and it was very poor quality. Mayber their color gels are not forumulated the same as the black? Anywho, I see a lot of love for the black. I have yet to pick it up, though.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you do your eyeliner your eyes always look stunning! shame about the eyeliner not being good though :)
ReplyDeleteYou are soooo pretty Coco! I agree, I wasn't crazy about those Revlon blushes. They weren't terrible on me, but the NYX ones and the Maybelline ones are lots better! :)

Gorgeous look! I was really surprised that I like the revlon photoready cream blushes. I usually apply with my fingers and they blend beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI knew Revlon's new cream blush was going to be bad. I had to restrain myself from buying it when it came out. I wish I had shown the same when I bought the AWFUL Photoready powder blush palettes. Their blushes are also kind of expensive for drugstores yet really bad for the most part. Cover Girl offers better pigmentation, even though I hate the sparkle in them. To either their own about bad reviews...sometimes, I just get really into it...especially when they are REALLY BAD. I don't think global multi-billion dollar corporations have the right to produce such crap and then charge inflated prices. I go in. Revlon irritates me because on one hand they can make (for the most part) great foundations, but then make such horribley cheap blushes, yet charge more than any other drugstore brand for it. The fact that Gucci Westman would get behind it makes it even worse.
ReplyDeleteI'm dissappointed about the revlon blush, at least I saw this before I biught it though, phew! :) I have that collection 2000 mascara too! I love it! I think I need to go buy that laura mercier tinted moisturiser because your skin looks so lovely here :) x
ReplyDeletecongrats on hitting 1000+ followers! uh-mazing!!! hope my little blog will become half as wonderful as yours! >_< thanks for letting us know about the revlon blush. i was thinking about getting it but know am totally gonna pass.

Lovely! I want that Revlon lipstick! I think I'll go out and get it! ^^
ReplyDeleteI was really interested in the Revlon blushes but they didn't receive great reviews from other bloggers either, it's a shame because the shades are so beautiful! xx - Boho Vanity
ReplyDeleteThat's good to know about the Fergie eye liner. It's been awhile Coc, hope you're doing well! I'm following you on my personal twitter now :) @MellieCay

I'm glad to hear what you thought about the photoready blush as I was wanting to purchase one, one day.... and the eyeliner turned out looking decent on your eyes, but sounds like a pain to apply! I really like the Bourjois Healthy Mix concealer, too. xx
ReplyDeleteI love that lip colour! It looks like it could be lilac :D I think you look stunning here, and the Wet n Wild highlighter looks gorgeous here too compared to the other post? xx

You look absolutely stunning, love the makeup on you too! I quite like the shade of the blush despite you not liking it's formula, what a shame. Love the eye makeup too, it really emphasises your eyes :)
