I purchased a few items from the newest Wet 'n Wild Fergie release, which I believe is called the Centerstage collection. I found these items at Walgreens, and pricing information will be listed for each item.
First up is the Take on the Day eyeshadow primer. This was $4.99 (there are $1 off coupons on the display at the moment as well, so keep that in mind... I only paid $3.99).
The ingredients list is quite long and does include Talc, but there does not appear to be any alcohol in the formula. I've only done limited testing of this product and it will take weeks for me to fully test it, but so far I can say that it works just as well if not better than Too Faced Shadow Insurance for me. The texture is quite runny, so one small complaint I have is that a lot tends to come out of the squeeze tube when you use it. It has a slightly tacky quality even after drying and I feel that it works very well for the price. This will definitely be going in my kit once I buy a second one.
A new line of lipsticks were also released with this collection, called Perfect Pout Lipcolor, and I picked up one color just to try them out. They appeared to be quite similar to the Megalast lipsticks in style and color, so I wasn't too bothered. I believe this was $2.99, but it could have been a dollar more at $3.99.
The packaging is admittedly pretty tacky and cheap, but honestly appropriate for Wet n Wild and Fergie teaming up. I don't mean that in a bad way, but it's not luxe packaging. The lipstick itself has that squared/rounded tip, just like the Megalast lipsticks. This color is Di-Vinely Chilled and is a beautiful shimmering burgundy. I did find this color to be a little drying, and I figured it was because of the sparkle. It did have decent lasting power on me, approximately 4 or 5 hours, but was mostly gone after eating. The little bits of shimmer didn't go everywhere though, which I appreciated.
Here is a swatch of Di-Vinely Chilled on my arm, along with a pink eyeshadow from a Sleek palette swatched on the left with no primer/ on bare skin, and on the right over the Take on the Day primer. You can see the vibrancy and payoff difference between the two.
And here is Di-Vinely Chilled on the lips. This was two solid coats.
Last, but not least, my personal favorite item from this collection: the To Reflect Shimmer Palette in Rosé Champagne Glow. This was $4.99 and is literally HUGE:
It easily dwarfs my hand. Onto what everyone really wants, a closeup of the marbling:
This particular shade has swirls of champagne, pink, gold and a burgundy tone. I would say this is more of a highlighter for light to medium skintones, and a very pale pink blush on fair skintones. It imparts the most beautiful glow, seriously. I absolutely love this and think it's a competitor for Mac's mineralize skinfinishes.
I can't really capture it, but there you go.
That's all I have for now from the new collection, and I don't think I'm getting anything else. See anything you like? What have you already gotten from this?

Wet n Wild Vanity Palette: Review + Look
I nabbed this palette for a mere $2.49 when it was on 50% at Walgreens! I am very pleased. I didn't like the original price even though I had seen a ton of reviews saying these were awesome. More importantly, it filled my need for the Mac Tartan Tale palettes... hey, these are better pigmented!
I may get more before the sale stops, but for today I have the Vanity palette for you... a.k.a. 6 shades of gold/brown gorgeousness:


The texture of the shimmering shades are just gorgeous and the mattes are impressive for a drugstore brand. Even Mac can't get their mattes right, come on now!

Top row, left to right: Matte beige, matte medium brown, matte dark brown
Bottom row, left to right: Frosty white, shimmering yellow gold, shimmering medium brown
It's strange that for once, the matte shades are more vibrant than the shimmery shades. The shimmer side may come through stronger over a base... I'm scared to see the matte shades with one! The dark brown was SO pigmented that it stained my finger a little.
The matte medium brown is comparable to Naked from the Urban Decay Naked palette... maybe a touch darker, but not as dark as Buck. On the same vein, the matte beige is similar to Virgin from Urban Decay without the shimmer.
I like this palette -- I do think the pigmentation is a little lacking but again, these may need a base. The gold is the most lacking in my opinion.
After doing a look with them, I really like them! I am a little scared of golds as my skin is cool toned, so this is a great lightly pigmented palette for that. I did have to layer on the gold a little though... but still, for $2.49, you can't go wrong!
Here's my look:





FACE:
- CoverGirl Tinted Moisturizer, fair to light
- Maybelline Super Stay concealer "Cream"
- Mac Prim and Proper blush
- Mac Gold Deposit MSF
- Mac Studio Fix powder (blend out the blush)
- Mac Espresso eyeshadow (brows)
EYES:
- Too Faced Shadow Insurance
- Ulta gold eyeliner (as a base and on the waterline)
- Wet n Wild Vanity palette (all 6 colours)
- Smashbox eyeliner in Antique Gold
- Maybelline XXL Pro Extension mascara
LIPS:
- Boots Natural Collection lipstick in Petal
- Mac Nymphette lipglass
Looking back on the photos, I can see the beginning of the fever that I spent the rest of my weekend with, lol!
Hope you enjoyed! Have you checked out these palettes yet?
