Overall Review- Wet n Wild Eyeshadows

Hello and welcome to my blog! This is my first post, so I decided to dedicate it to my all time FAVORITE drugstore eyeshadows- Wet n Wild trios, singles, and the eight color palletes- and if they're  are anymore I am missing besides those. Point is, these eyeshadows are AMAZING. Very smooth, pigmented and have such a nice, luxurious buttery texture. These eyeshadows most definetly compare to my high end eyeshadows. The Wet n Wild shadows compare to my two favorite brands for high end shadows, which is Urban Decay  & MAC.  Another nice thing about the Wet n Wild shadows is that there are lots of dupes for higher end shadows within my  Wet n Wild trios and my eight color pallete. I will mention two dupes here- only because in the future I plan on doing a whole blog post dedicated to makeup dupes.

Here are my eyeshadows/trios and swatches-


Walking On Eggshells
(all shimmery colors, light pink and frosty beige, & a shimmering brown.)
 
 
Knock On Wood
(all semi matte colors with little hints of sparkle- light pink, a brown, and a burgundy maroon type shade.)
I'm Getting Sunburned
Very shimmery shades with best pigmentation out of all three trios- the kind of texture Wet n Wild is known for. A light pink, purpley brown, and a copper gold shade.
My only single eyeshadow from Wet n Wild- in the shade "nutty". (excuse mine, it is cracked.) Nutty is a beautiful metallic type brown that is a very good lid color- if you only have time to put one color across the lid, this is a great choice. It is a very multi-demensional brown.
 
Sparkle Till' Morning
This is the only eight color pallete I have from Wet n Wild. It is a beautiful pallete. I mainly use the right side of this pallete, and i have to say the most outstanding color is the color on the top right, the frosty pink white highlight. Two of the colors on the right side are actually in the "I'm Getting Sunburned" trio. (The 2nd shade and the 3rd shade). This pallete is limited edition, so i would hurry
and grab it!
As I promised, the dupes- In the "I'm Getting Sunburned" trio, the last shade is a dupe for MAC's "Amber Lights." In "Walking On Eggshells" the last shade is a dupe for MAC's "Naked Lunch".
 
Here are the swatches- Wet n Wild on the left on both swatches, and MAC on the right.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Overall- Wet n Wild is a great brand, with not only exceptional eyeshadows, but bronzers, highlighters, and blushes (from what i've tried-which if you want, I can include those in another post.) Also with many more  products that hopefully i can pickup and tryout in the near future. But, overall i think the shining star throughout the whole brand is the eyeshadows. They are of exceptional quality, and great staying power. All of this for a great price- $2.99 for the trios, $4.99 for the  eight color palletes, and $1.99 for the single eyeshadows. These are some of the cheapest prices in the drugstore. I find Wet n Wild mainly at Walgreens, and CVS. Overall, I definetly reccomend Wet n Wild.
