Pigmented and Seductive!

Wet and Wild has created some truly creative, fun, sexy colors here. Mix and match for a variety of looks. The shadow doesn't crease nor budge--and it's great for my budget!

"Brulee" is one of my all-time favorites!

Ok, I know everyone knows about these and they have been reviewed many times over, but I had to leave my two cents because I use one of them almost every single day! First of all, I just wanted to say that I’m not crazy about the glittery version of these, so I’m really talking about the matte colors here (I’m not sure if this page was intended for both finishes). So the color I can’t live...read more without is “Brulee”, because it matches my skin color perfectly (I’m about NC/NW 20-25) and it is a perfect base for whatever else I decide to do with my eyeshadow. The only times I don’t use it is when I use glitter because I use a stickier primer with glitters and apply the glittery eyeshadows directly on top of that primer. You can “google” for color swatches, but if I had to describe it, I would say that it is a very neutral light beige. It doesn’t lean too warm or too cold and it just allows everything else to blend seamlessly over it. I’ve seen someone else use it as a setting powder for their undereye concealer, which doesn’t work for me but I guess it’s something that could be tried as well, because we obviously all have different needs and preferences when it comes to concealers and the way we set them. The texture of the matte colors I love and use ("Brulee", "Nutty" and "Panther") is very soft and buttery (not creamy, but just a bit buttery). There is a little bit of kick off if you “stab” it with your brush, so you do need to be gentle when you use these, but the color payoff is amazing. Talking about “Brulee” again, I can say that I was very surprised the first time I used it, because it’s not easy to find a good base for our eyeshadows. I loved the color in the pan when I first saw it, but I was almost a 100% sure that it wouldn’t transfer much pigment onto my skin. I was definitely wrong. So if you are looking for a nice, light base for your powder shadows – “Brulee” is perfect. “Nutty” is a natural, taupe based brown with a beautiful satin finish. It’s a very unique and just as pigmented as the other two I’m mentioning in this review. “Panther” is your standard black. Very good as well, but I do have to say that this isn’t my favorite black. For the price, it’s definitely amazing. It’s just that I have more pigmented blacks from other brands that I prefer, but otherwise – it is a very good black. I still use it very often but if I’m using a good palette and it’s got black in it, I’ll just use that palette. I’m just saying that it’s not special enough to always gravitate towards it, but it is a good black. If I had to recommend just two colors out of this range, I would most definitely recommend trying “Brulee” and “Nutty”.

Amazing Pigmentation!

I love WnW shadows, they are very pigmented considering how fairly inexpensive they are! One of my all time favorites are their single shadows, and one that I find myself using often is the Coloricon Eyeshadow Single in #254B Lagoon. It is a very pretty pearlescent blue, and depending on how the light hits the shadow it has a fun shimmery/pearly effect to it. This shadow is very versatile becaus...read moree it can be vibrant enough to be used as eyeliner and on the waterline, yet subtle enough to be used as an all over lid color. What I love about it is that it is very pigmented; yet the color is very build-able which means it is not too overpowering. The shadow is easily blend-able, and can be easily applied with any tools that you use, whether it is a small applicator, a brush, or even your fingers! I’ve noticed that whether using a primer or not, the shadow does last a fairly long time without any creasing or fading. PROS: Easily blend-able Pigmented Long lasting No creasing Build-able & versatile CONS: None This product retails for about $2.00, for a .06oz container. It can be purchased at most drugstores such as Walmart, CVS, K-Mart, Rite Aid, Ulta, and more

Colors packs a punch!!!

I am very impressed with the pigment to these eyeshadows. I got this in the matte black color (can't recall name since I'm not home) and Golddigger (shimmery gold shade). You don't need to use a lot to get the color impact that you want. The matte black shade can be used as a powder eyeliner. There is hardly any fallout. It's more than enough and very inexpensive. This is such a steal that I feel like I did steal such a great product. I highly suggest trying this out.

MUST HAVE

This eye shadow retails for about $1-2 and for that price this is a MUST HAVE!! They are super pigmented. Super soft and creamy. Easy to blend either with finger or brush. The tiny packaging makes it easy to carry around and it's secure. Definitely will purchase more.

wow

Now I know what everyone is saying when they describe a super-pigmented eyeshadow. A little goes a long way I wish wet n wild offered all of their eye shadows like this. The packaging is good, and as there is no cheesy applicator the compact is super small. I mail ordered some, and one broke during shipping... but it all stayed inside the container and I barely lost any.

Best value eyeshadow

I have the single eyeshadows. They are so tiny that it is difficult to find them in my stash. My absolute favorites are the creme brulee and the black one. Wet and wild eyeshadows are simply great. Their 8 pan ones are the best. Best bang for the buck in my opinion.

I Love WNW Eyeshadows...

They are so pigmented for being so inexpensive. I like their singles well enough, and would probably rank them a 7 out of 10. They recently went BOGO 50% off and I snagged a couple of singles as well as a few glitter singles. The glittery and shimmery shades are nice, but I enjoy the ones without shimmer more. I just wish there were more color options. Perhaps it's just my local store but there were only about 5-6 options.

Totally affordable

I love this in Brulee...a totally affordable shadow that is a great formula and the Brulee is a perfect brow bone color. Why spend a ton when you can get this long lasting easily blendable shadow for around $2??
