Wet 'n Wild Come Correct Concealer; Review & Swatches of Shades

Fergie & Wet 'n Wild Come Correct (Full Cover) Celebrity Concealer

New for Spring 2015

Price: $5 for 10 ml

(approx $.50 per ml)

CRUELTY FREE!!!

Wet 'n Wild has recently released their new Come Correct Concealer which is a part of Fergie's "Glam-Maker" collection.

Let's face it; Wet 'n Wild has never really excelled with concealers like they do with eye & lip color. Up until now, the only concealers in their stable were the CoverAll Concealer Stick & the CoverAll Liquid Wand Concealer. 

Both of these concealers leave something to be desired so I think that my initial skepticism was warranted when I saw the new Come Correct Concealer.

Luckily, (for those of us who have been waiting for this type of concealer to be available in drugstores), I have never been happier to report just how wrong my initial impressions were!

Come Correct promises celebrity worthy results & ultimate full coverage for under-eye darkness and it achieves both of these brilliantly, BUT, even the most perfect product isn't for everyone...

L'Oreal Visible Lift Blur Blush was one of three new complexion products L'Oreal released for their extensive Visible Lift line for Spring/Summer 2014.

Maybelline Dream Wonder Fluid-Touch Foundation; Review & Swatches of Shades

Maybelline Dream Wonder Fluid Touch Foundation, Liquid to Powder Makeup

New for Fall 2014

Price $9

Maybelline has now released what is the cheapest Liquid-Powder foundation in most drugstores, but is it worth it?

Parent company L'oreal has their Nude Magic Foundation which is almost identical to georgio Armani's Maestro Infusion foundation which the inspiration for the new YSL Fusion Ink Foundation, (also owned by L'Oreal), so I guess it makes sense that they would try to release a Maybelline version as well.

Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream (Vs. Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream); Comparison Review & Swatches of Shades

Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream Blemish Balm Vs. Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream SPF 30

Comparison Review & Swatches of Shades

New for Spring 2014 (in the U.S. at least)

Price: $8/ounce

Maybelline has just released their Dream Pure BB Cream in the United States. It has been popular in other countries in the east for quite some time, and people have eagerly awaited its arrival here. It differs quite a bit from their Dream Fresh BB Cream and I think that the difference between the two is interesting as it encapsulates the difference between the two BB Meanings; Beauty Balm versus Blemish Balm.

Confused yet? Me too...

L'oreal TrueMatch Liquid Concealer; Review & Swatches of Shades

L'oreal True Match Concealer (Liquid)

Price: $10

L'oreal has long been known for having one of the most extensive selections of shades available at the drugstore with their True Match line. What separates L'oreal's line, is the variety of undertones available which is more akin to what would be found in a department store than a typical drugstore.

Wet 'n Wild BB Cream; Review & Swatches of Shades

Wet 'n Wild BB Cream; 8 in 1 Beauty Balm; SPF 15 (by Fergie Glammaker)

New for Fall 2013

CRUELTY FREE!!!

Price: $6 for 1 ounce

Because of its name, Wet 'n Wild is always listed towards the end of any alphabetical lists of brand names, but that's no excuse to forget your alphabet! They finally released their first addition to the world of Beauty Balms last fall, with their 8-in-1 Beauty Balm BB Cream SPF 15, but by that point all the other brands had moved on to CC Creams! Well in the end the turtle beats the hare, so maybe, just maybe, Wet 'n Wild was learning from all of the other brands' mistakes so that they could release the most perfect formula of them all, but did they?
