Wet n Wild Coloricon 3 Palette Eye Shadows

I know what you're thinking. More Jessica? Do you really need more Wet n Wild eye shadows?

No but I bought them anyways.

I snagged all four neutral palettes that had. These are .99 at Walgreens right now so that makes each eye shadow only .33 which is the cheapest I've ever seen.


Edit- I think I may have confused a few people. I didn't get these palettes for .33 (although I wish I did). The palettes are .99 right now so I divided it by how many eye shadows come inside making each individual eye shadow .33. See what I mean? Sorry for the confusion!


If you notice in the 8 Coloricon palettes I reviewed last week, the order of eye shadows are different. It's first brow bone, crease, and then eyelid for the 3 palettes. The crease eye shadows are also smaller than the rest. It's not a big deal for me but I thought I'd point it out. 


334 I'm Getting Sunburned

The brow bone is a shimmery lilac pink, the crease is a deep brown, and the eyelid is a beautiful gold. The pictures don't give this justice. One of my favorite things about Wet n Wild palettes are the colors actually work together. Separately each shadow is nice but together they are even better. 



335 Silent Treatment

The brow bone is a very sheer opal pink, the crease is a deep brown, and the eyelid is a silver purple. The crease shadow in this one was chalky but the other two colors were wonderful. It's not too bad when you wear it with primer.



381B Sweet As Candy

The brow bone is a perfect white, the crease is a light taupe, and the eyelid is baby pink. These colors were my favorite and great for spring and summer. It's hard to find a really nice white brow bone shadow that doesn't come off as chalky and I think this is a real winner. 




380 Walking On Eggshells

The brow bone is off white, the crease is another gorgeous taupe, and the eye lid is a light pink. This is another favorite and completely wearable during the day and night.


You've probably noticed that all the palettes look really similar to each other but none of these eye shadows are the same. In fact every single one of them are indeed different. 

I swatched the eye shadows below so you can compare them.



Wet n Wild is my number one go to for affordable eye shadows. None of these palettes have let me down and the price is unbeatable.

To get the most wear and color payoff I always recommend using an eye primer.

Do you own any of the Wet n Wild Coloricon 3 Palette Eye Shadows? What are your thoughts?

Wet n Wild Coloricon 8 Eyeshadow Palettes

Here's my review on the Wet n Wild Coloricon 8 eyeshadow palettes. 

Hurry up and buy these. The end.

Okay you need more persuasion then here you go. 

I bought the 737 Blue Had Me At Hello and 738 Comfort Zone. These have been out since last year I think but they still have the "new" sticker on the side which is a little odd to me. But that's not the problem. The problem is it keeps running out at all my stores! 


Here is 737 Blue Had Me At Hello


I swatched the eye shadows from the left side first. They don't list any names for the specific color but they have it categorized. 

The brow bone is an interesting light silver frost, the eyelid is silver, the crease is dark blue, and the definer is a matte black. 

The pigmentation is fabulous for all of these 4 colors but as you can see below, the royal blue crease is incredibly dark. I wish the blue would stand out more but oh well.



I love playing with the right side of this palette. 

The brow bone is a gorgeous light blue frost which I haven't seen before, the eyelid is a very vivid teal, the crease is a true deep blue, and the definer is black with lots of sparkle. 

The only problem I had was with the sparkly definer at the bottom. It's chalky but one out of eight eye shadows is a pretty good ratio. 


Next up is probably my favorite palette. I would even say I like it more than high end brands like Urban Decay. Yeah I said it.


738 Comfort Zone 


These were incredibly soft for me and easy to blend. I adore every color on the left side and they coordinate so well with each other. 

The brow bone is a light shimmery gold, the eyelid looks almost like rose gold to me, the crease is a lovely light brown/almost taupe, and the definer is a true dark brown. 

These have wonderful payoff and great if you love a neutral everyday eye.



The brow bone is a stunning tan, the eyelid is a light green, the crease is a mix of both dark green and gold, and the definer is just amazing. 


The definer is a duo chrome mix of red, brown, and plum. It's really spectacular on it's own. 


So do you need this? Yes. 

I recommend using a primer for these eye shadows. The color is even better and they last all day.

They retail for $4.99 but it's 40% off right now at Rite Aid. 

What do you think of the Wet n Wild Coloricon 8 Eyeshadow Palettes? Do you own any of them?
