Some may scoff, but my very favorite thing I use on my face is Wet n' Wild eyeshadow in Cream. It's a sheer, well, cream-colored shimmer. I have used it on every part of my face. As a highlighter, it works wonders on the tops of my cheekbones and on my temples-- it even helps diffuse my dark circles. As an eyeshadow, it makes me look more awake when I use it on the inside corners and on the bottom lids. It's my go to shade when I just don't feel like messing with anything else or if I'm crunched for time. I use this shade and another wet n'wild pot, Cherub-- a light shimmery sheer pink, to mix up my own blushes. They just have this glow factor that I've never found in another product.

I have thought about replacing my couple pots of cream with some similar shade of BE since I started getting in all that swirl and tap nonsense, but then I thought, why in the world would I do that since the wet n' wild works! (wow, tongue twister)

I just felt the need to share Very Happy

, and wouldn't mind hearing about everyone else's very favorite cosmetic!

I totally agree. Alot of products are priced higher just for the soul purpose of the company wanting you to think its a better product. Wet n Wild is definitely worth it for the money with most of their products. I've run across a couple I didn't like, but over the years I've aquired quite a few wet n wild products I've loved.. along with one they seemed to have discontinued and I'm looking high and low for! The wet n wild jet dry or flash dry.. not sure exactly the name but it was a real liquidy purple substance you could put over any nail polish and dried it in record time.. I'm talking faster and better than any salon brand drier I've tried. Such a shame I can't find it anymore!

Violetanne - Thanks for your post. I'll have to take a closer look at Wet 'n' Wild shadows when I'm next in the drugstore.

Good for you finding something that works for you and sticking with it Very Happy

I think much too often we just get caught up with having to own percieved better brands.
I have read a lot of good things about Wet and Wild.
I am the same when it comes to Rimmel Blusher, it cost me next to nothing and works just as well if not better than the more expensive brands.

Rosebud, have you ever tried the Rimmel bronzer? They recently re-did it so it has a touch more shimmer and has two different shades. It's another product I love. I've never tried the blush before, I'll have to take a look next I make a run to the store! I think I have read on here before that's it's good stuff.

Oh don't tempt me with another bronzer Laughing

I love bronzers with a bit of shimmer, I currently use MAC Refined Golden but I think I shall have to check this Rimmel one out too Very Happy

I agree lots of products are over-priced.

About 15 years ago, I bought some Rimmel cosmetics during my trip to UK and I found it worths for the money I spent.

Currently I am having Shiseido and Dior cosmetics. Smile
