Wet n Wild Product Review



Hello, Glamouristas, it’s time for a review! We’ve all heard of Wet n Wild and at one point or another and probably owned a product or two. I remember spending an absurd amount of time at the WnW section of Rite Aid as a little girl, and quite frankly, you can still find me there. Lately, Wet n Wild has been getting a lot of recognition for their pigmented eye shadows and opaque lipsticks so I thought, why not do a review on a few of their products? This is great for all wallet sizes and all experience levels. Hope you enjoy, let’s do this!

I did a swatch of the Wet n Wild Coloricon eye shadow palette in Comfort Zone and I created an eye look with the first column of colors which were rose-based in color. I also used the blush in Mellow Wine, bronzer or "highlighter" in Reserve Your Cabana and matte lipstick in Think Pink. I swatched a few more other lipstick colors as well for your viewing pleasure.


Wet n Wild Coloricon Eye Shadow Palette in Comfort Zone





These are the colors I created my look with.



Price: $3.99
Packaging: plastic, cheap & simple
Pigmentation: Awesome! These eye shadows have an amazing color payoff. For the darkest color, I hardly had to touch my brush to it.
Consistency: They’re pretty silky which is surprising considering the price; you get 8 eye shadows making them only 50 cents a piece! I haven’t experienced any fallout and I created a smoky look.
Wear-ability: You can create a softer look to a more dramatic look with this palette.
Extras:
Worth it?: Yes. You can’t beat the price and quality of these eye shadows. Broke student, look no further.

cheek bones as well as cupid's bow.


If you’re a Pinterest beautyholic like me, then you've probably pinned that Wet n Wild had a dupe for Lorac's Spotlight. Now, I can’t tell you whether or not it’s a dupe, but I can review the product for you.

Price: $3.99
Packaging: plastic, cheap & simple
Pigmentation: The color is subtle, especially on fair skin.
Consistency: The feel of this highlighter is that of an eye shadow and it’s a little chalky. When applying it, it feels very powdery. In fact, I believe their eye shadows to be silkier than this.
Wear-ability: It’s totally wearable and not glittery at all. It has a nice sheen which is perfect if you don’t want to look like a disco ball.
Extras: It photographs well, so it wouldn't be too much when taking photos at somewhere like prom. You can also try applying it with a little MAC Fix Plus or other setting spray, but I haven't tried that yet.
Worth it?: You could pay a little more and get The Balm’s Mary Lou Manizer and KNOW that it will rock, but if you still want it to be under $5 and don’t want something with chunks of glitter, then I say give it a go.


Wet n Wild Blush in Mellow Wine




Price: $2.99
Packaging: plastic, cheap & simple
Pigmentation: Great! A little goes a long way.
Consistency: A little powdery but can be blended. Great quality for the price.
Wear-ability: It will go with many skin tones, including fair and dark (as long as you apply a little more).
Extras: Beautiful color.
Worth it?: Definitely a great blush for those on a budget.


Wet n Wild Matte Lipstick in Think Pink



Price: $1.99
Packaging: plastic, cheap & simple
Pigmentation: Holy crap, they're opaque.
Consistency: This is a very creamy lipstick but it can definitely be a little drying, but nothing a well moisturized lip and some gloss couldn't help.
Wear-ability: This particular color makes a great pinky-nude and it's my favorite of all their lipsticks.
Extras:
Worth it?: These are a no-brainer, you need them in your collection.

Here are the swatches of some other colors which are all equally opaque and creamy.

Think Pink, Just Peachy, Bare It All, Dollhouse Pink, Wine Room
