Review: Wet n Wild Comfort Zone Palette + 2 Looks!

So today I popped down to CVS and got something I've been wanting for quite awhile, Wet n Wild's 8 pan Comfort Zone Palette. I'm a huge fan of Wet n Wild's eyeshadows and this is no exception! At $4.99 USD this is such a steal, and is really well rounded. Let's take a look, shall we?






 

On the left half of the palette are four neutrals. The first shade is a warm white gold with a slightly frosty finish (Not in a bad way!). Next we have a medium peachy pink with a gold sheen, this one has almost metallic finish. The third shade or the 'crease' color is a medium warm brown with a bit of a bronze sheen, also satin. And finally a dark red brown with fine burgundy glitter. All of these are very soft and easy to work with; the second shade is my favorite it's very smooth and pigmented.


The other half has some nice shimmery shades, and a pretty pretty duochrome. The first shade is a metallic silver taupe, not nearly as green as it looks here. The eyelid shade is very green though! Its a bright olive with golden shimmer, another satin. The next shade is a blackened green with multi-colored  fine glitter. Finally possibly the most interesting shade in the palette, a beautiful red-purple/ turquoise duochrome. I'm not very good with duochromes, they never seem to look right on me... but this one is stunning! 

Now I did two looks with this palette, pretty much as directed. The only things I changed were I used the top left shade in my inner corners for both looks. Also I mixed the some in with the top right shade for my brow bone for the second look, the taupe is just too dark to look good a highlight on me. (Still pretty though!) 

So what do you think, five bucks worth of fun? I'll say. I already knew how great WnW's eyeshadows were, and I was still impressed! 5/5 for this one!
 What do you guys think?

Review: Wet n Wild Color Trio In Walking on Eggshells

So I bought this for a look I'm about to do, and I've completely fallen in love with this trio from Wet n Wild! I have a couple others (I'm getting sunburned, and I dream of greenie) but this one is quickly becoming my favorite.



These are very smooth and pretty. These photos show the colors fine, but not how great of a sheen these have. No glitter or shimmer, but the white and pink have a lovely finish. The white color is similar to one of my favorite eyeshadows, Ulta eyeshadow in Silk, which I use in a lot of my looks. But the pink is my favorite out of this trio it a warm pink with a very pretty gold reflect. Also the brown shouldn't be overlooked, its not remarkable but its very smooth and blends nicely. 

I do have a couple complaints, but they're more for the trios in general rather than a problem with this one. First off I hate the stickers on the packaging. The packaging itself is cheap, but thats fine given the price. But those damn stickers, I hate them! It makes it very hard to open. Also with the great blendable smoothness comes a price, these are very soft and break easily. This makes them bad for travel, or putting them in a purse or makeup bag on the go. Also if you drop them on a hard floor you're screwed. But then again, for the price... you can afford to replace it.

All in all I love these shades and am excited for the look I'm going to do with them. I definitely recommend this trio to anyone, on a budget or otherwise. 

Wet n Wild Color Trio in Walking on Eggshells is available at most drugstores and Walmart. I got it for $2.99 but prices may vary regionally.
