Wet N Wild PhotoFocus Liquid Foundation ($5.99 for 30ml)
I have the colour Nude Ivory which matched me perfectly. For $5.99 and so many positive reviews-- I thought it was all a joke. I mean, how could it be so good and so affordable? Yes, ladies and gentlemen-- they were right...the foundation is indeed affordable. The other part, not so much. It applies beautifully with a sponge. Two layers give a good strong medium to full coverage. For the next 15 minutes, it states like that, but you do need to set it with powder (since it doesn't really dry down). And after that-- damn, it only goes downhill. You will look like a human for 2 hours max. After that, you will resemble more a monster in the nose/lips/chin area. You will get a full package of cool stuff: caking, settling into lines, going patchy, rubbing off. Cheeks are alright, although, this foundation looks super heavy on your face, and hence, accentuates your pores. Furthermore, your skin looks super dry. I am so glad I took it off.

Wet N Wild Color Icon 10 Pan Palette in Nude Awakening ($4.99)
If you are looking for cheaper nude-coloured eyeshadow palette, you might want to look this way. The consistency is soft, and it blends beautifully on the lid (not like the Marc Jacobs palette from recent review). The colours are very nude-ish, so don't expect a bold eye makeup look, although you can absolutely do it more smoky for an evening look. There is one negative: there is quite a lot of kick back in the pan and quite a bit of fall out on the lid. So, don't forget to set it with a spray after application-- that minimises the fall out significantly.
