[Review] Wet n Wild Eyeshadow Trio




One of the best things of the US: drugstores. It's just a huge cosmetics heaven with unbeatable price! It's probably the only reason that makes me wanna migrate to US lol.

Anyway, I wanted to get a cheap nude palette for everyday wear and was immediately attracted to the Wet n Wild Eyeshadow Trio in Walking on Eggshells. I bought it at CVS when I was in US for just US$2.99 (ultra cheap!). You can get it at SummerHaul for S$10.90 though.

First Impression

It comes in a small plastic rectangular case with transparent lid, so you will need to use another mirror when applying.

The palette has imprints on it to tell you which colour goes where: browbone, crease, eyelids. They have diagrams at the back to guide you too.

It also comes with two applicators, one of which is the usual sponge head and another one which is a hard brush.

The powder has a slight shimmer to it and I love it! Not too much for everyday wear and it's just sooo soft.

The Good

Price. What else can you say? Not even Silkygirl can beat it haha! Good pigmentation (just look at the swatches below!) and it comes off easily with remover without staining your lids. The powders are fine and soft, which makes application really easy.


The Bad

Generally Wet n Wild's eyeshadows are so soft that it breaks easily. In case you were wondering "eww why can't she just clean the case up a little?", I actually left the casing untouched to show how easily it gets messy (no, not because I'm lazy). The ones I bought in US and another 1 which I ordered from SummerHaul have got powder on the rims and applicators when it first came. It's sealed nicely so I know it's new. You will get a hard time if your makeup pouches tumble in your hand bags too much.

Rating:



You probably wouldn't want to bring it around that often; otherwise it's a nice little thing to add on your makeup rack for the money-saving peeps. 4 and a half cloudies!
