This limited edition collection has 6 lipgloss's ($2) , 2 pairs of eyelashes($3) and 4 nail polishes($2).
I bought all of the lipgloss's because I'm a makeup addict and the colors and packaging was so cute! Plus you can't beat the price. I also bought 1 pair of eyelashes, neither pairs were very wearable for me but I thought these could be fun look! I didn't bother picking up any nail polishes because luckily for my bank account I don't hoard nail polishes like I do makeup.
(I got the fist at Ross for 6 bucks!)

I will say that these colors are not created equally! 2 of these are total duds, 1 is okay and the rest is an amazing formula! I will be talking about each shade individually. One thing that I think does apply to everyone is that since it is a lipgloss it is not long-wearing at all and like any lipgloss will need to be reapplied throughout the day.
I will be going through the shades in lightest to darkest as per the website.
(In all of the lip swatches I am wearing them alone with no lipstick ect. underneath)
*BOOM!-ROASTED*
This first shade is "Jackie a la Mode." And unfortunately, I'm going to be starting off this review with my least favorite shade. The best way I can describe this color is milk. It just looks like milk sitting on the lips. The color is not even and looks patchy on the lips. And I swear it looks like I have a << milk mustache around my lip lines. Worn over a lipstick the shade is much more wearable but on its own, I would not be reaching for it again.
*POP*
Lilac Theater was the first shade I was drawn to in this collection, I thought it was a very unique shade that a drugstore brand normally wouldn't put out. But this shade ended up being the one that I said was okay. I found it to be a little bit streaky and didn't want to layer very easily. But if I took the time to go back and forth, I could end up with a nice look. When it comes down to it, this was not my favorite formula wise from the collection. But if you are interested in the color, I think for the price it is worth the money.
*THIS IS MY FAVORITE (or possibly the next) IS MY FAVORITE SHADE*
*WHAM*
This color is called "Raised on Good Corals." First of all, this is an adorable name. The "ultra-slick, high-shine jelly finish, moisturizes and conditions" is a perfect way to describe the next 3 shades. The formula is amazing on the next 3 and I feel really on par with what a lip gloss should be.
"Strawberries and Femme" is another great shade.
And in all honesty, it doesn't look very different on the lips from the previous shade, but I'm still really glad to have this shade also. They are both comfortable on the lips. Just such a great formula! I love the color pay off!
"Very Well Red" looks like a bright pink on the lips. Not a red, the shade is not accurate to the name. I still think it's a clever name maybe it just should have been used on a different shade. (It does swatch accurate to what you see in the tube.)
*KA-POW*
This color is the last one of the bunch that I found the formula to be great! I would recommend the 3 that I specified with the good formula! The fact that you can get this good of color pay off from a lipgloss really is impressive!
*SIGH*
"Violet in Furs" is the final shade in the collection. It looks really nice in the tube but the actual color looks nothing like the color you see in the tube.
This shade is PATCHY, doesn't apply nicely on its own or layered over a lipstick. I would NOT recommend this shade. I know I said the first shade was my least favorite but now I think this might be worse...
*CC is NOT a fan of this shade*
In all of these pictures, I am wearing these lashes in the style "Mad for Mood." It was my first time wearing them and I really liked them! I didn't think I would like them but they were more flattering than I was expecting. For me, I won't be getting a lot of use out for them. They are not very wearable for me (but I'm not a huge lash wearer, to begin with.) I found them very sturdy but still flexible, so they were very easy to apply and stayed in place for a long time. I did use my own lash glue, mainly because I couldn't figure out how to open the glue that came with the lashes... Also, I prefer a brush on glue rather than a squeeze tube. I did not find these to be an overall comfortable lash either. The whole time I was wearing them I could feel and almost see them. It's not a lash I could simply forget I was wearing falsies. Also, IDK if it's just me but I think these lashes could be a drugstore 'dupe' for KoKo Lashes in "Stella." Just even less separated than the KoKo ones.
If you like the look of easily being able to count your individual lashes, these are the ones for you. With the wet n wild ones, I count 7 "spikes" of lashes. I can count more with the KoKo ones. I personally am more of a fan of fluttery lashes for a more natural look.
I hope you enjoyed my review if you have any questions leave them down below!
