Haven't talk to you in a week now lol.
I want to review a drugstore product today, and it is the popular wet n wild eyeshadow set!
Wet n wild is a American drugstore brand.
But can you believe it? The first time I know about this brand is because my sister went to Hong Kong and bought some dirt cheap but super pigmented eyeshadow singles and did a makeup look on me.
Haha, anyways, onto the product,
These babies retail for $4.99 and as we all know..it's been raved by bloggers and youtubers for a really looong time...
For me, I think this palette, petal pusher, is not the perfect one. Unlike the wet n wild eyeshadow set in comfort zone, the quality of this palette is not 100% garanteed, meaning some shades are pigmented, but some are not pigmented at all.
Now onto the shades, so basically you get two quads, as you can see there is a name on each shadow, giving you an idea how to use them. It actually has a more detailed instruction on how to create natural to dramatic look at the back. And generally the first row helps you create natural purple looks while the second row is more smoky. Of course you don't have to follow it strictly. It is a 4.99 palette, play with it!
First vertical line:
Browbone: looks like a iridescent frosty white color, but it is not pigmented at all. I can barely see the color after some serious digging into the eyeshadow.
Eyelid: a nice lilac, quite pigmented.
Crease: vivid satin purple, very pigmented, very pretty. I use this shade the most out of the whole palette. I normally use a brown eyeliner to line my lids very thickly and smudge them out a little bit, and then press this shade onto my eyelids, and I define my crease a little bit with a dark color like the crease color in the second row. I find this look very flattering on monolids.
Definer: a shimmery bright purple, not very pigmented. I wonder how can a color unpigmented like this be a definer.
Swatches: browbone and eyelid on top and crease and definer at the bottom. (from left to right)
Second vertical line:
Browbone: pretty frosty pink. Very pigmented. But it is too frosty to be a browbone color to me. You don't want something too shiny and attracts all the attentions on your browbone. Could be a cool color on my eyelids for heavier party looks.
Eyelid: marrom with light purple glitters. Very unique shade. Very pigmented.
Crease: deep plum (almost black) with bright purple glitters. It has been compared to Beauty marked by MAC. I have nevered owned a beauty marked so I cannot say. But they do seem very similar in pictures. My picture doesn't do it justice. Sorry about my horrible photography skills..You should see purple glitters when you swatch it by yourself. Nice crease color for dark smoky eyes. Or you can use it lightly to create everyday look like I did with thr bright purple on its left. This eyeshodow is extremely pigmented, a dab into the pan gives you enough color, so go light with it, and add it gradually. To prevent fallout, I recommande using a primer since there eyeshadows are quite soft, it is easier for them to form fallouts.
Definer: dark black with green glitters. Extremely pigmented. I don't use this shade very often because I generally don't like greens...But it is very pretty and dark. Could be perfect as a liner or a crease color for very strong smoky eyes.
Conclusion:
In this palette, two colors are not very pgmented and the rest six is really pretty. I have to say I am a little disapointed but hey, it's only 4.99, can't complain about the price right? Plus I find it hard to find the right purples in drugstore, most of times the purples I find in other drugstore brands are either not pigmented and true to color at all or too shimmery. However, I find some perfect purple shades in this palette. I especially love the crease color in the left line, it is not too cool or too warm. However, these shades are all shimmery or glittering, if you want a completely matte purple, you might want to find it somewhere else, I think revlon makes a quad that has a bright matte purple.
If you like natural colors and you would like to try more color shadows, purple is a good way to start, it is not too bright and obvious. You can never go wrong with using a little purple as a pop of color. Plus, it works particularly well with brown eyes. It made my brown eyes really pop and makes my look super soft and gentle.
SO I think this palette is worth purchasing if you want to try out purple shades and don't want to spend a lot of money.
OK that is it for my review.
