Wet & Wild Coverall cream foundation and powder first impression
Hey guys and girls. I recently picked up this new foundation and powder from wet & wild and wanted to give you all my quick thoughts on it thus far. This foundation claims to
I then went in with another layer just to see how much more it can cover and how well the shade i picked out would match me. I picked out a light/medium.
As you can tell from this image the foundation really got in there and covered up a lot more. so claim one was on point as to say that this is medium to full coverage. i have oily skin and this gave me a semi matte finish. At first it did feel a little heavy but after it settled it was just a little more light weight.
As for the coverall powder , it pretty much claims the same thing the foundation does. The one thing i found annoying about this powder was just how much fallout i received from just a tap of my brush. It was just all over of the place. From the image above you can see that i have the sponge is dirty but i have never used it, that was all from the fallout of the powder...
Next i applied the powder on top of the foundation to set and i am in love with how much more it covered. The shade i picked didn't exactly match me to a tee because i have an olive/yellow tone to my skin and noticed this foundation gave me more of a pick ting to my face... Nothing major though
So i applied this at 4:30pm. Put some mascara and liner but didnt want to mess too much with the foundation or powder so i didnt apply any blush or bronzer. As of this time my makeup looked awesome and i loved it but lets give it a couple of hours and see how it holds up shall we?
- wear all day
- have medium to full coverage
- is lightweight and have a satin matte finish
- has visibright complex that reduces the appearance of wrinkles and rejuvenates skin
I washed my face as i would normally do and applied toner and moisturizer
as you can tell from these pictures my skin isn't perfect but i was hoping that this foundation stood up to it's claim and covered some of this mess.
I started off with applying one layer first with my sigma f80 brush which is a flat top and what i always used to apply any foundation. The foundation calmed down some of the redness and covered a good amount of what i needed it to.

After a little while later i got bored and decided to put some eye shadow on. so here's a little pictorial of that.
- nyx milk jumbo pencil to lid and blend it out
- mac pigment in polished ivory to 1/2 of lid
- mac pigment in mega rich to outer lid
- blend crease with medium brown from vanity palette from wet & wild
- outer v dark brown from vanity palette
- brow bone white creme shade from palette
At 7:30pm i was back at my vanity checking how this baby is holding up.... not too bad for 3 hours of wear.. I do have a super oily T zone so that little bit of shine is anything major . I'm kinda glad its only a little on the tip of my nose
At this point in time i was super tired and just wanted to get this off and head to bed so i checked back in another 2 and a half hours later. The shine traveled up my nose and to my forehead but once again not looking like a greasy mess but just a dewy kinda look.
over all i would give this foundation a 4 out of 5.
all it's claims were pretty on point except i can't put an opinion on the visibright claim because i do not have wrinkles and i haven't used it that much to see if it rejuvenates my skin.
the 4 is because of how powdery the powder is and the fact that oil broke through after only 3 hours
price: creamy foundation $4.49 with $1 off coupon on product
coverall powder $2.99
*both products include talc in its ingredients
I hope this was helpful to someone and if u have anything else you would like reviewed please leave a comment below

Alyvia Beth is finally here.... she was born on 12/18/11. sorry this post is up late but dealing with a newborn and a toddler really takes a toll on you. she is 5 weeks now so here is a more updated picture of her
she has been very alert since birth... she holds her head up more now and looks around. as far as bedtime goes she has her good days and her bad days but i have my husbands help so i do get naps during the day.
i have been showing signs of postpartum depression but i have to speak to my doctor more.
oh and if anyone has any websites for headbands with big flowers for Alyvia let me know...

here's another update...28 weeks and 1 day
so as you can tell from the title i am 28 weeks and 1 day pregnant and as you can tell from the photo i'm not even close to being huge (though that's exactly how i feel). i've been feeling so fatigued and overwhelmed. i can't even stand to be in my own body at times, to be quite honest i cant wait to get this baby out of me. i know once she's out i'll be up with her all times of night and ill be struggling taking care of a new born and a toddler but i figure i'll have more energy then, well at least alot more then i have now. i know i sound like i'm just being a big baby and complaining but i just wanna be real about certain pregnancies because not every pregnancy is peaches and creme. with my other 2 kids i was alot better with my emotions and i won't be as tired as i am now. i was even working when i was pregnant with my son. well anyway i just wanted to give you guys and girls the gist of how i've been and how i've been feeling. she's been moving around alot now and my son got to feel his first kick. lol. it was pretty cute because he was so excited about it. we've chosen the name olivia except we're changing the spelling so its more unique so the spelling of her name will now be Alyvia <--- my daughter picked that out. well yea so that's pretty much it and ill talk to u guys another time when i have more pictures of this growing belly...love u all xoxo
