Spotted Wet n Wild and ELF Sets at BIG LOTS

Tweet

I recently went to my local Big Lots just to pick up a few household items and on my way out I spotted some Wet n Wild sets, along with ELF sets that I haven’t seen at my local Target/K-mart.  I didn’t buy any sets simply because I had already made a purchase and didn't want to go back in the super LONG line, but I plan to go back to Big Lots soon and check out more beauty goodies!

The sets I spotted included ELF Get the Look 5 Piece Brown Eye Set which came with a mini eyeshadow palette, an eye-shadow brush, an eye-liner, a mascara, and an eye-lash curler all for $5.00 (these are available on the Elf site).  Another set that caught my eye was an ELF Nail Polish Set; 4 super bright and fun color polishes for $5.00 (these are also available on the Elf site).  

Other sets included mineral shadows and some beauty books one of which caught my eye, it was called  the Bright Eye Edition Beauty Eye Manual (I couldn't find these on the Elf site).You're not getting much of a discount since on the ELF site these sets are all priced at $5.00, however if you don't like to purchase items online you know you can always try your local Big Lots and avoid shipping costs.

Wet n Wild also had some sets which included shadows and eye-liners; the set is called Flower Power, and also shimmer mineral/powder shadows, with body shimmers; set is called Shimmer & Sparkle, all of which were priced at $5.50.

These sets are all fairly new to me and it could be because I normally buy Elf products in store at my local Target.  Have you seen these sets anywhere else before, such as Walgreens or Target? Have you been to your local Big Lots to see what else you can find there? I heard that Philosophy products have been spotted at Big Lots so I am definitely going back soon to check it out!

Wet N Wild Sparked Nail Polish

Tweet

I love Wet n Wild nail polishes, and one of my most recent favorite is the Wild Shine Nail color in #435G in “Sparked,” which I picked up at Walgreens for $.69, during a WnW sale (normally these run for $.99).

I love these polishes not only because they are super affordable, but simply because the colors are all very pigmented, and there are such a wide range of colors to choose from.

“Sparked” is super pigmented and really only needs 1 coat to fill up your nails with sparkles (vs other polishes that are clear with a few specks of glitter). On my nails I have two coats which makes the pink sparkles a bit more vibrant.  I also love that the polish doesn’t feel too rough like some other glitter polishes. What I also love about this polish is that it's not only a "pink" glittery polish, the sparkles have a dark pink to almost gray undertones which looks very pretty under the light!

The lasting power varies, but typically they will look great for a few days and then I’ll start to see a small chip here and there, which can easily be covered up with a swipe of polish.

Do you own any Wet n Wild polishes? If not I would definitely encourage you to purchase 1 (or a few) simply because they are very affordable, and WnW truly does have a WIDE range of selection in colors! These polishes can be purchased at most drugstores such as CVS, Walgreen's, and Walmart.
