Since hearing all of the noise on the blogosphere about the Wet N Wild Color Icon Palettes, I have been keeping my eyes out for them. Until today, the only one I had been able to find was Pride, which I found at Walgreens (lucky, though, because it was cheaper there...somewhere around 2.50). I got fed up with searching today and decided to hit CVS, Ulta, and Jewel in search of them. I ended up finding some other things along with it, so I'm including them in this haul as well. I'll do a separate post with swatches and a review of the color icon palettes, as well as possibly doing some looks with them in the next couple of days.
First stop (which was technically about a week ago) was Walgreens where I got the first Color Icon palette, pride.

The next stop (which was actually today) was Jewel (a grocery store, if you don't have any near you). I was checking my work schedule and right near there, so I figured that I would check on the off chance that they sold Wet N Wild, which I found out a lot of retailers don't. I lucked out, and they had plenty of stock of all of the palettes, so I picked up the three I was missing. The palettes were more expensive there, Somewhere around 3.25, although I'm not 100% sure of the price. Either way, I was just happy to find them at this point and was going to take them for what I could get them for. The three other palettes were Greed, Lust, and Vanity (Can I mention how much I like the names of these palettes?)

The next stop was Ulta just to look around (I can rarely resist stopping by to check everything out when I'm driving past and have the time). I ended up finding three nail polishes on clearance that I quite liked, so expect to see them in future NOTD posts. The polishes were OPI Glow Up Already!, China Glaze Street Racing, and Nicole by OPI Nicole...Spotted! The Nicole by OPI and China Glaze polishes were on clearance for 3.99 a piece, and the OPI was 4.99.

My last stop was CVS because I had some ExtraBucks and I needed to pick up a few things that I was running low on. I got another tube of Maybelline's Lash Stiletto Voluptuous because mine is getting dry (which I'm going to have to exchange because I got the wrong color, I always get the darkest black and I accidentally picked up Brownish Black) and another bottle of Wet N Wild's Mega Liner in black because my current bottle is getting dry as well. I love both products, and have been using them for a while. Wet N Wild's liner is a trusty liner, although the brush is easy to distort, which isn't a big deal as long as you are careful. I've been using Maybelline's Lash Stiletto for a few months now and like it a lot. It doesn't give a lot of volume, it definitely lengthens the lash and gives a pretty natural look. I use it along with Smashbox's eyelash primer and Lancome's Hypnose Drama mascara. I love the three together, it's the mascara combination that I wear pretty much every day.
