Wet'nWild 8-pan Palettes

The new WnW 8 pan palettes are now available at Walgreen's and Wal-Mart. They retail for $4.99 each. There are 3 palettes available: Comfort Zone, Petal Pusher, and Blue Had Me At Hello. I did not purchase Blue Had Me At Hello. These palettes are not limited edition and can be found in the normal WnW display.

Petal Pusher

This palette is light, feminine, and evokes floral images and spring feelings. There is a mix of matte, shimmery, and glittery shades that allow you to create many different looks.

The first two shades are matte. They are beautiful, but weak in pigmentation. The shimmery purple is lovely. The glittery purple is very similar to the shimmery one, but slightly more blue-toned.

The first pink shade is probably my favorite in this palette. It is practically luminous and lovely as a highlight or in the inner corner of the eye. The cranberry shade has a definite purple base when swatched. The darker shades are very nice and extremely pigmented, but just a bit too dark for my personal preferences.


Comfort Zone

This palette contains more neutral colors. The selection of colors seems very earthy and mossy and can even remind me of military greens and khakis. Many of these shades have an almost metallic finish, creating a colorful glow.

These colors are soft and pigmented and can easily create a smooth neutral look. The second shade is very different on the eye than in the pan- much more copper than champagne. The fourth color makes an excellent liner.

The first color is a mossy green that is very different from anything I own. It seems very versatile and I predict that I will use this often come spring. The second color is a lovely grassy green that is very pigmented and beautiful, but almost too soft. The third color was gorgeous as a liner, and the fourth color is a great dupe for Club by MAC.


Overall, I am very happy with these palettes. If you are interested in them, head out to Walgreen's or Wal-Mart and pick them up. They are flying off the shelves! Hats off, yet again, to Wet'nWild for another quality product.

FOTD: WnW Silent Treatment

This "Face of the Day" look was created using the new 'Silent Treatment' trio from Wet'n Wild.

I used the placement directions from the trio and created a nice taupe smokey eye. I think that next time I'll use the peach as a lid color, taupe in the crease, and brown to darken the outer-V. I feel that that combination would be a bit better for daytime. These trios are so much fun to play with.

I've heard that they're flying off the shelves. If you're interested in buying the new trios, head to your nearest drug store NOW!

Recession Special #1: Wet'nWild ColorIcon Palette in Lust


Wet'nWild has always been known for its ultra cheap makeup- both in price and quality. The shadows were powdery, lipstick waxy, and everything had some odd smell I could never quite put my finger on. A few weeks ago, I was watching a video on YT and chuckled when I saw someone using a WnW palette. However, when I saw the results, I was shocked. There was actual color! I quickly searched reviews and found that WnW had reformulated a lot of their products and had actually made better quality products.

I headed out to Walgreens and bought a ColorIcon palette in Lust, the palette with the best reviews on MakeupAlley. It was $4.99 for 6 shadows, 3 matte and 3 shimmer/glitter. The colors range from a deep, blackened purple to a shimmery cream. They are all higly pigmented and blend exceptionally well. I recommend using a primer, particularly Urban Decay's Primer Potion for Eyes. I used a paint pot from MAC and found that the darker colors didn't blend as well. I generally use the darker colors in the crease, pink on the lid, and cream as a highlight. The steele color is great when mixed into a liquid liner. For a little more fun, add some glitter or shimmer over the matte colors!



Despite my initial doubts, I really do love this product. I have used it many times and love the results. I will definitely go back and buy more of these palettes.

Stay beautiful, babes!
