Wet n Wild Megalast Nailpolish Review - Break the Ice

Wet n Wild cosmetics has been around for awhile now.  However, they were always plagued by being a "dollar store brand."  This has changed (for the GOOD!) They recently did a whole remodelling for their product image.  Which, I got to give them major street creds for.  Not only does the packaging look "expensive" the quality itself has improved SO much.  All this, while maintaining their amazing cost effective advantage (Everything is still dirt cheap). Way to go Wet n Wild!

I only got a chance to pick up one of their new nail polishes from the megallast collection for $2 at my local Walmart (in Canada)

I picked up Break the Ice.  I desperately needed a 'neutral' colour for work.  So I figured, why not get a trendy white colour?

Colour: The colour is a milky satin sheer white with shimmer.  Pretty!
Formula and Consistency: I used 3 good coats for this.  The formula is absolutely amazing for a two dollar nail polish, in fact, it is better than revlon, sinful colours and some sally hansen ones.
Dry Time: The dry time is between 3-5 mins, which is not bad at all.
Brush: Wet N Wild designed a new brush for their polishes.  They are thicker and flatter.  They are very similar to Sally Hansen's Instadry.  So if you are a fan of that then you are going to love this.  I really love the new brush applicator.  It is easy, quick, has lots of even coverage, and has great control.  It is really a hit or miss though.  Some people with smaller nails have said that the brush is too thick and goes on their skin.  I didn't have this problem though.
Finish: The finish smooth and shiny.  I did not use a top coat for this colour. 

I am so impressed with their new stuff. I'll be sure to purchase more colours and review them. 

What do you think about Wet n Wild's new products?

Chloe

I have never been in to perfume.  I honestly thought I wasn't mature enough to start buying perfume.  But a couple weeks back, I was browsing at the Sephora downtown (the day I saw Kat Von Dee) and I decided to head over to the fragance section and smell a bunch of stuff.  At first EVERYTHING smelt the same.  A couple minutes later I could only pick up 3 scents out of all the different designer perfumes I have smelt.  No progress.

"This one is too sweet.  I am getting a fucking headache"
"This one is too musky, Smells like an old lady."
"This one ... smells like an orange???"
Yeah, so it didn't go so well at first.  That is UNTIL I smelt Chloe's signature perfume.  Ahhh.... died and went to heaven.  People say, that you REALLLY know if you have found your "signature scent" because your body really responses and reacts to it.  Well, that was totally my case.  So now I have it and I am really loving it.
My interpretation of Chloe:
- lightly powdery
- hints of jasmine
- hints of citrus sweetness (not too over powering)
- fresh and feminine
- inviting and down-to-earth
- innocently flirtatious (yes, really!)
This is definitely my scent.   The plus of this is that Sephora offers it in 3 sizes. There is an rollerball size for this.  Which is AHMAZING!  You can carry it in your purse (I always do with mine) and it is only $30CDN and $25US.  What a deal.  That way, you don't have to break your budget and perhaps even snag another rollerball to try!

Note: Please don't make my stupid stupid mistake of buying the Chloe Love instead by accident.  That one smells horrible to me.  It doesn't embody any youth or freshness at all.

Let me know your thoughts on Chloe!

Welcome

Welcome to the Cheap Beauty Blog. 

As a student working 3 jobs, I find that I have an extremely hard time trying to manage my money with my horrible love for all beauty products.  Nail polish, comestics, and fragances.  I have always tried to experiment with affordable products and some really do surprise and impress me.  This is a blog where I can share all the goods with you.  I mean who DOESN'T like to save?

Cheers!
