EOTD + Review: Wet N Wild Don't Steal My Thunder

I bought this palette a few months ago at CVS when i had $8 Extra Bucks to spend. I didnt really need this palette but I decided to get it anyways to give it a shot. It sells for $2.99.

Shades: browbone (matte white), crease (black sheen), eyelid (silver sheen)

This palette has three pretty shades that - in my opinion - are best for night looks. I really dont own hardley any black, silver, or matte white eyeshadows so this palette actually adds to my collection without being a duplicate of any other shades i own. All of the shades are pigmented and smooth just like every other Wet N Wild eyeshadow, but the silver was a tad hard to pick up with an eyeshadow brush. Otherwise this is a great palette - just not something i wear will alot considering its best for night looks.

EOTD: Cool As A Cucumber

I purchased this Wet N Wild Cool As A Cucumber at Rite-Aid (along with I'm Getting Sunburned) in a Buy On Get One 50% Off deal. Im bored and staying at home today w/ my daughter today so while she was taking her afternoon nap I decided to try this look.

Eye Look Steps

simply used the instructions on this palette to create the look - but i added the purple on my bottom lashline also. I finished it off with black eyeliner on my waterlines and black mascara. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Overall i like this trio but i dont love it. It goes really well with my green eyes (in my opinion) and definitely makes them appear brighter but its not a trio i would choose for an everyday look.

WnW Cool As A Cucumber Trio

I p

Back in June i purchased this trio from Rite-Aid (along with I'm Getting Sunburned trio) in a Buy One Get On 50% off deal.

This trio comes with:
forest green sheen
purple sheen
light cucumber-green sheen

None of these shades have shimmer, they're more of a sheen or satin finish. They were pretty pigmented but not quite as pigmented as some other WnW trio's..... but they were not super sheer, so dont worry. As you can see from the swatches they have nice color payoff.

I've never been disappointed with a WnW eyeshadow trio and I own 7 all together now which i use more foten than my high-end brand eyeshadow!

Wet N Wild Ultimate Match SPF 15 Foundation in Porcelaine

Unfortunately i am NOT in love with this foundation! As you can see from the photo i got it for 50% off at CVS which made it only $2.50 per bottle but it still wasnt worth it.

PROS

cheap

easily available in drugstores

formula wasnt too runny or too thick

felt light on my face 

CONS

shade was the lightest in "porcelain" but was still too dark for me

made my face and hand oily when i swatched/applied it

way too pink toned for someone who needs a "porcelain" shade

only comes in 4 shades (at least thats the only ones my CVS sells)

I totally wasted my money by buying this because it was so wrong i cant get any use out of it, unfortunately. It wasnt the worst foundation ive ever used but it wasnt great. I definitely will not re-purchase.

EOTD + Review: I Got Good Jeans

 

I bought this trio a few weeks or so ago in a Rite-Aid haul and while blues arent really my thing i found it easy to make an eye look suitable for me using this trio anyways! :)

Tutorial:

1. Apply a primer like UDPP to lids.
2. Shade the dark blue shadow into creases and blend out.
3. Sweep the light blue shadow all over lids.
4. Line top lashline with the dark lue shadow.
5. Line bottom lashline & highlight browbone with the gold shadow.
6. Using a med-large fluff brush pick up some of the gold shadow on your brush and gently swirl all over lids & crease to soften and diffuse blue. This will also give it a light hint of shimmery gold.
7. Apply your favorite black liner to waterlines and black mascara to lashes!

Review:
Surprisingly i liked this trio alot even though blues dont suit me well (on my eyes). As always with Wet N Wild eyeshadows this trio was super pigmented and soft, which you can see from the swatches. Plus theyre affordable at only $2.99 each. Im so excited that the new ones came out! I havent seen them yet though :(

Not sure how often I will use this trio but im sure it will come in handy sometimes! Thanks for reading :)

Wet N Wild Nutty Eyeshadow

This little Wet N Wild single eyeshadow is sold for $1.99 at most drugstores. They don't come in very many shades but the ones they have are great quality. This particular shade is Nutty.

Nutty is a supposed dupe for MAC Satin Taupe - I do also own Victoria's Secret Private Beach eyeshadow which is sorta similar (but with a pink undertone). They obviously arent exact dupes, but IRL they are really similar and if you like the VS Private Beach eyeshadow ($10) check out WnW Nutty ($2) instead.

[PROS]
smooth
pigmented
soft
cheap
available at alot of drugstores
Nice lid or crease shade
Packaging is minimal and sleek

[CONS]
None!

I love all of Wet N Wilds single, 8 pan, and trio eyeshadows. I have never been disappointed with any of them and i dont imagine i will. I know alot of people assume WnW is a 'cheap' brand because of their prices and ill admit some of their stuff isnt so great but the eyeshadows are amazing

EOTD: Silent Treatment

This is a simple smokey look I created with the WnW Silent Treatment Trio, $2.99 at drugstores.

COMPARISON: Physicians Formula Baked Trio vs. WnW Walking On Eggshells

A few days ago while doing an EOTD (last image) with my new Physicans Formula Baked Wet/Dry Eyeshadow Trio in Baked Sugar (given to me by Holly Ann) i noticed it was eerily similar to Wet N Wild's Walking On Eggshells Trio which i purchased several months ago for myself. So i decided to do some swatch comparisons for you :)

Swatches L to R
second image

P.F. Baked Sugar pearly white shade (#1) Wet N Wild Walking On Eggshells browbone shade (#1) P.F. Baked Sugar champagne shade (#2) Wet N Wild Walking On Eggshells eyelid shade (#2) P.F. Baked Sugar light brown shade (#3) Wet N Wild Walking On Eggshells crease shade (#3)

I hope my swatches are easy enough to understand. I put the swatches next to eachother to show how similar they are. The only real differences i see between these two palettes is the brown - which is darker on the WnW palette. Otherwise the shades are pretty similar as are the finishes and quality.

The last image is an EOTD i created today with the P.F. Baked Sugar
Wet/Dry Trio. I used the champagne shade on the lid, brown shade in the crease, and white shade on the browbone as a highlight. I finished the look with brown eyeliner on my waterlines and 1 coat of brown mascara on my top lashes only. It was simple and pretty for a lazy day at home w/ just a little grocery shopping to do.

Both palettes are great quality although there is a large price difference, being that the Physicans Formula trio is much more expensive than the Wet N Wild trio. However i love them both. What do you think of these? Are the shades close enough to be dupes? Thanks for reading :)

EOTD: Sweet As Candy

Although this is alot like the WnW Walking On Eggshells trio, Sweet As Candy is more pink toned and a tad darker. I really like the shades and while they go okay with my green/hazel eyes i think they would look gorgeous on brown eyes! $2.99 at drugstores.

I followed the steps on the trio's packaging which is very simple and it comes on all WnW eyeshadow trios and 8pan products. If you havent checked out WnW eyeshadow lately, please do! They are very smooth, soft, and pigmented.

Wet N Wild Dancing In The Clouds Trio

This is the 2nd (and last) trio i purchased from the Wet N Wild Dreamweaver collection, and i finally found the display at Rite Aid after a few weeks of searching. Unfortunately there were the only two left - but then again they're the only two i was interested in anyways so its not too bad.

This particular trio is called "Dancing In The Clouds" and features three shades which are: pale gold (browbone), purple (crease), and copper (eyelid).

PROS
very pigmented
colors go well together
cheap, $2.99
great quality
easily blendable

CONS
hard to find, only available at Rite Aid and not many carry it

Im about to go to a Lia Sophia Bingo Blingo Party here in a couple hours and i will be doing an EOTD with this for that particular reason. I will take pics, but im unsure if ill post them before or after the party. BTW these are Limited Edition so if you're interested and you've seem them in stock - dont hesitate!

What do you think of this collection? Are you interested in any of the trios? Thanks for reading!

EOTD: Im Feeling Retro

 

I did this EOTD one day earlier this week when i was bored & staying at home all day. I bought the Wet N Wild I'm Feeling Retro trio at Rite-Aid a few weeks ago on a whim. Ive sort of made it a habit of collecting WnW palettes, lol. Anyway this one is a tad less pigmented/soft that the others but still good quality.

Tutorial:

1. Apply a primer like UDPP to lids.
2. Sweep the eyelid color (iridescent purple) all over lids and along bottom lashline.
3. Shade the crease color (blue) into creases and blend.
4. Highlight browbone and inner corner with browbone color (pearly white).
5. Add a super thin line of black liquid eyeliner to top lashline.
6. Line waterliners with black eyeliner and coat lashes 2-3x with black mascara.

I pretty much followed the palette directions for this just because i wanted to see the outcome. Its definitely too bright for me so i plan to use the eyelid and crease shade just as eyeliners instead some other time to simplify it and make it less bright. These shades are definitely not for everyone but as i said - the two bright ones would be great as a liner for an added pop of color in Summer.

Would you buy this? Do you already own it? What are your thoughts on this EOTD? Thanks for reading :)

EOTD: We're Blasting Off

This is the first EOTD ive created using the new Wet N Wild We're Blasting Off trio from the Dreamweaver collection ($2.99 at Rite-Aid).

Tutorial:

1. Apply a primer like UDPP all over lids.
2. Shade crease color (black w/ pink shimmer) into creases and blend.
3. Apply eyelid shade (taupe) all over lids and along bottom lashline.
4. Sweep browbone shade (pink) lightly onto browbone as a highlight.
5. Using a med-large fluff brush, pick up a little bit off the eyelid shape, tap off excess, and gently blend all over lids and into crease to diffuse and soften the look.
6. Line upper lashline tightly with black liquid liner.
7. Line waterlines with black mascara.
8. Finish the look with 2-3 coats black mascara.

I basically just followed the directions on the palette to achieve this, but i have some other looks in mind i plan to try soon. Overall i like this look but it may be too dark for some. The black crease shade definitely deepens it a lot but overall its still suitable for a day or night look, either way. Tomorrow i am going to try to do a look with the Dancing In The Clouds trio which i also purchased at Rite Aid. What do you think of this? Thanks for reading :)

WnW Silent Treatment Trio

I bought this trio a couple months ago for $2.99 at Walgreens. At the time it was one of Wet N Wild's new eyeshadows and there were 9 other different trio's available. Wet N Wild has definitely stepped up their game.

It comes with three shades:
Light peach (browbone),
Black w/ gold shimmer (crease),
Taupe (eyelid).

The browbone shade is super light and shimmer, the crease shade done had gold shimmer as i mentioned but i havent experienced any fallout, and the eyelid shade is a beautiful duchrome-like taupe shade. All three are super pigmented, soft, and smooth.

WnW We're Blasting Off Eyeshadow Trio

I finally found these! I have been searching high and low for the Wet N Wild Dreamweaver collection, and i finally found a display at Rite Aid. Unfortunately there were the only two left - but then again they're the only two i was interested in anyways so its not too bad.

This particular trio is called "Were Blasting Off" and features three shades which are: pink (browbone), black w/ pink sparkle (crease), and satiny taupe (eyelid).

PROS
very pigmented
colors go well together
cheap, $2.99
great quality
eyelid shade is gorgeous!
easily blendable

CONS
hard to find, only available at Rite Aid and not many carry it

Ive heard a few people say they didnt think the pink browbone shade matched with the other shades but i would have to disagree. After doing an EOTD with this today and using the browbone shade super lightly it actually complimented the look very well. And as always - WnW shadows are super pigmented and nice quality. However, these have been even harder to find than the Gilded Age Trio, so if you're lucky enough to grab some and you like them - buy back ups!

Overall im pleased with this trio, just like i knew i would be! What do you think of this collection? Are you interested in any of the trios?
