Burt’s Bees VS. Wet N Wild Natural Blend LIP SHIMMERS
I previously talked about the WNW Natural Lip Shimmers here:
http://clothingcult.com/2010/08/12/wet-n-wild-natural-blend-lip-shimmer-review/
Now I have some photos so you can see these Lip Shimmers compared to the Burt’s Bees Lip Shimmers. I also did the swatches on my arm in different lights since it can often be hard to tell what color something is online. Sorry that the first photo is a little blurry.
Burt’s Bees VS. Wet N Wild Natural Blend LIP SHIMMERS bottom line:
As you can see, many of the colors are similar but only a few could be mistaken for one another. Wet N’ Wild’s “Frost” is almost indistinguishable from Burt’s Bees “Champagne” Lip Shimmer and both “Nutmeg” colors are pretty darn close.
As I mentioned in the previous post, the ingredient list is natural with no parabens, no synthetics etc. which is very surprising for a cheap drugstore brand that doesn’t usually focus on natural products.
And when I say cheap drugstore brand, I really do mean cheap. Burt’s Bees Lip Shimmers are $5 each whereas the Wet N Wild Natural Blend Lip Shimmers are only $2 each. You can typically find then at Walgreens but if you don’t see them in the stores you can still buy them online. Amazon.com carries them but at a much higher price so I would recommend Walgreens.com or Drugstore.com if you’re having trouble finding them locally.

I seem to be dressed as a candycorn – thrifted sweaters
No, I will not be wearing the yellow polo, orange sweater combo out of the house. I got over holiday dressing a long time ago. For some reason the orange was making my skin look extra pink when I took a photo so I tried the yellow under it but it reminded me of candycorn.
These are actually the two sweaters I picked up from Goodwill a couple of weeks ago for $2.50 each. Both looked brand new with no pilling. One was a light wool from Eddie Bauer (cotton, nylon, rayon, cashmere) and the other was Old Navy (wool.)
Both were dryclean only so I pick them up from the dry cleaner tomorrow.
Total cost of two sweaters with drycleaning will be a little over $12.
I’m still up in the air a bit about the orange one. It looked good in the mirror but it really doesn’t work with my skin in the photos so I’m not sure which one is lying to me. But the brown is a good basic.
