Fantasy Makers by Wet n Wild Wicked Look Sets

(retail: $4.99 each at Rite Aid)





My second-favorite collection each year from Fantasy Makers is the eyeshadow duos with the mini polishes, mini lipsticks and lashes. So fun and a nice deal for $4.99 total.





The other day, reader Kristin left a comment here on the blog confirming that "the much-loved black & red" eyeshadow duo is BACK AGAIN THIS YEAR! (Thanks so much, Kristin, for confirming that.) If you have no idea what I'm talking about, click here and going a few years back, they used to come in round pots like this





NAIL POLISH FANS: Sometimes Wet n Wild releases new shades in these sets so keep your eyes peeled--they're not always just reds and blacks--one year they had a really pretty, sparkly midnight blue mini.

Fantasy Makers by Wet n Wild Ghoulish Glitz Collection

(retail: $2.99 each at Rite Aid)





There are no new products in this display, however there seem to be new SHADES here. For instance, I don't remember an orange in the Glitter Gel range from previous years. They usually offer us clear and blue gels

You can see my review of the clear holo glitter gel (on the left) from 2011 here

The gold liquid liner is not new, but the last time I remember seeing it was back in 2009 ( you can view my really crappy pics of it here ).







think this black liner shade is new for this year.

I love this holo powder and I'm so glad WnW released it again this year. Take a look at it on my nails here





Thanks so much, Sandi and Sonja, for the great pics and info. I really appreciate it!

'Tis the season for Fantasy Makers by Wet n Wild! If you're a longtime reader of this blog, you know that I've been covering the Fantasy Makers collections for years now, and mypart of these collections is always the Tombstone Polishes . I haven't seen (or had a reader sighting) of the Fantasy Makers Tombstone Polishes for 2013 yet but if you find them, please, please do let us know! I'm always excited to see the colors each year!Readers Sandi and Sonja spotted some of the 2013 Fantasy Makers by Wet n Wild Collections at Rite Aid this week and they were both nice enough to share some pics. If you're new to the Fantasy Makers Collections, there are TONS of displays that come out each year ( take a look at how many of them were available for 2011 , just to get an idea). Not all drugstores carry all displays, and the selection varies from retailer to retailer (in previous years, Kmart has carried a huge floor display , whereas Rite Aid seems partial to counter displays). Also, be sure to check your local Halloween Stores for these as well (sometimes Halloween Store and even Party City can carry more products than the drugstores will offer).So take a look at what is now popping up at Rite Aid which is, historically, the first to put out the Fantasy Makers displays each year: The Painter's Palettes are NOT new for 2013. But I think at least one of these palettes has some new colors that weren't around last year These cream eyeshadow/face paints are not new either, but I think there are some new shades here. You can check out my review from 2011 of the cream palettes here While we're at it, I hope that WnW brings back the full-size black lipstick again this year ( you can see my swatches of it here --it's great for darkening reds).You can see my review of Magical from 2011 here (I LOVE these liners--they have great staying power and look beautiful layered over a solid colored liner). Also of note: I don't see the purple liner this year. Hum...maybe it will appear in another display.
