The people are a-talkin’ about these Wet n Wild eye palettes – mainly how the pigmentation is so intense for such an inexpensive product (trio of eyeshadow is under $3.00). So during my lunch break I like to wander the aisles of Duane Reade and recently decided to pick up a few to see for myself if the buzz was warranted. And I can confidently say after wearing for a few weeks – yes, the buzz is warranted. The color selections were a little disappointing, but then again I know my corner drugstores do not carry as many versions as the larger chains so perhaps I have not been exposed to all the palettes. Needless to say, I went for two neutral combinations (left is ‘Walking on Eggshells‘ and right is ‘Silent Treatment‘) and found the quality of the texture and wearability more substantial than I had anticipated. Wet n Wild n Surprising should be the new company name, amiright? Take a look below at the swatches from my two trios:
The colors are a tad more frosted than I would like, but after blending together the shimmer does settle down into a wearable look for the office. The “instructional placement” concept is nice but I prefer to use the colors as I darn well please – and never would I use a shimmer shade on my brow bone – the horror! I prefer to use the lighter shades on my lid and work the dark shades through my crease or as a liner. Caveat emptor however, these are quite delicate shadows and ones that I am sure would not travel well. Just a dab into the palette with my brush and powder goes everywhere so I can only imagine what my bathroom floor would look like if one were to slip from my fingers – what a mess. But then again at this price, I could afford a few back ups so maybe I will throw caution a little more to the wind with these. What is life without taking risks?????
