Please excuse the lack of posts lately, life is just crazy right now! It's great though because I've recently been able to grab a few new things to review in the future. I can't say what, it's a secret!I am not really a big fan of Wet n wild palettes myself, but I couldn't resist the colors in this one. Especially the shimmery golden peach/pink color, it's really beautiful!
I found the pigmentation of these shadows pretty good. Compared to the silent treatment trio I had tried before I liked this way better!The matte colors are really nice and creamy, very blendable and dense pigment. The shimmery ones are ok, not as pigmented as I had hoped. I found them to be a little chalky, but they did blend well.
Swatches of greed, shimmer colors (top) and matte colors (bottom) :
My EOTD using all three of the shimmer colors:
I used my favorite color (the pink gold) all over the lid. I should add that to really make them pop I applied the matte flesh toned color all over my eyes before applying the shimmery colors.
please excuse the brows as I was trying to grow them out when these pics were taken!I don't reach for this palette very much because I am mostly wearing neutrals and bronzey colors these days, but I think I will play around with it some more and see what I come up with.
I really don't think you can go wrong with this for $6... even if it is just for one of the colors!
I should also mention that the purple color with gold sparkle is a dead on dupe for NARS stada! I hated strada because it didn't show up on me nearly as nicely as it looked in the pan. This wet n wild color however, (I think the single color is called 'kitten') is far more smooth than NARS and actually looks great over a primer.
I love finding cheap dupes that are even better than the more expensive brand ;) have you found any great dupes lately?

I really hate Wet N Wild, but it seems that they have improved as this palette looks really nice and I've heard good things from other people! I love the eyeshadow look you did with this! Now that you mention it, that purple colour DOES look a lot like Strada.
I really like how this palette contains matte eyeshadows. Like you said, they do appear chalky a little bit, but the colors are beautiful, and it's a good thing they blend well! You did a great job creating a look out of it. Thanks for sharing :)
