Hey Ya'll,
My local Walgreens is kinda stinky, they never get the LE products from Wet N Wild that I lust after. But that all changed after a quick trip there this morning. I decided on a whim to stop in and see if they have the WnW Beauty Bar set up. Now, upon hearing about this, I'm picturing a huge display wall, where they normally have the products, but with new palettes to purchase. I wasn't holding my breath to finding this in my store, and low and behold, THERE THEY WERE! Now, this so called "Beauty Bar" was at the end of a aisle, on the side of the end cap. I wish I would have had my camera to take a quick snap of it, I'm pretty bad at descriptions. Anyway, to wrap this already too long story up, I had to stop myself from doing an excited jig all up and down the aisle! I was also excited to see the they were having an unadvertised BOGO 1/2 Off on all WnW products! The prices of the baked palettes and the 8-pan palettes are 4.99, and I got three of them, plus an eye shadow single, and only spent 16 dollars and some change :) Comes out to about a 1.25 usd a shadow. Not too bad for the actual great quality of these shadows.I was so excited to find this when I did... there was only one palette left of each of the 3 baked palettes, and only ONE matte palette, that thing was in my hands lightning fast :)
So today, I got 2 of the LE Coloricon Baked Eyeshadow Palette (6-pan) in Baking a Cake, and Bake-Off Contest!, and also the 8-pan matte palette in I <3 Matte.
Following are some pictures of the palettes and swatches, and then after the pictures I will let you know what my initial reactions on these palettes.

Oh my goodness! Where do I begin. From just swatching these I am in LOVE! I found nothing wrong in these shadows (for now) I will definitely update if anything comes up. I did a rub test on the mattes, and they didn't BUDGE! They were a little on the chalky side, but nothing to ridiculous. I've had Urban Decay shadows (matte)crumble on me with a little pressure.
Ok, That's it for now. I'm hoping to get a good picture of my mani for today, it's Halloween inspired.... Orange nails, with green accent nails :)
Loves you all, Run out to your nearest WalGreens and see if they have the Beauty Bar! it's so worth it.
Thanks for reading,
Jaelyn
