I love Wet n Wild eye shadows, if I am having a lazy day and do not want to hunt down eye shadows for a look I know that I can pull out one of the trios and I can look ready for the day. When I saw that Wet n Wild was coming out with new quints I was excited. I went to my local Walgreens and picked up a few, today I will be quickly reviewing the quint I'm His Breezey, which is the blue one.
I am weird, I love blue shadow but it has to be the right blue to make it into an eye look.
This palette at first glance looks amazing. The blues are vibrant and there is a nice soft powdery blue that can add dimension to a look; but that is where the good ends.
The Base shadow is powdery and chalky.
The brow bone shade is not pigmented, it took 3 or 4 passes to build up the color.
The eyelid shade is a nice vibrant blue but it is no where near as pigmented as it looks in the pan.
The definer shade is super patchy.
The crease shade has a lot of sparkle in the pan but the sparkle does not translate on the lid. The color also took a long time to build up to the desired intensity.
I palette retails for $3.99 in my area, and I was able to get it for $2.99 because it had a $1 coupon. I was really hoping that the eye shadows would live up to the expectation that I had, that they were in any way similar to the 8 pan palettes I know and love. Unfortunately these palettes perform poorly.
I had done an eye look with it but it was so patchy and the colors were so hard to blend together that I gave up on trying to make it work.
I am holding onto the palette for my daughter to play with and maybe for Halloween but I do not see myself using it all that much.
Until next time
Yess :)
