Wet n Wild's Feelin' Regal

 

Wet n Wild's Color Icon Regal Quad ($5) instantly caught my attention because of its deep smokey colors. I'm also still liking the packaging. Again, it contains one shadow that is mostly pure glitter. Think silver disco ball. I'm a bit scared to use it, because whenever I use any glitter on my eyes, they burn.


Such a cam-whore you are.


The colors included are the glittery silver, a lilac shimmer, a pretty plum-pink, and a deep pure black. 


These Wet n Wild palettes are a steal. It's enough to make me want them. But they all won me over with their great pigmentation and fun colors. 

I believe this completes my series of all the new Wet n Wild products I obtained from the new collection (as well as all the products I even own from them).

I really wish I could review wear-time and such for you guys, but I have so many eyeshadows and palettes, It's hard for me to find time to try them out. I'll definitely be trying out a look with this quad though, it's just too pretty!

Wet n Wild's Sumptuous Quad Makes Me Feel Pretty

 

Wet n Wild has really been revamping their lines. All the new items look a lot classier than their predecessors. Wet n Wild's Color Icon Quad in Sumptuous ($5) is no different. Baby's got it goin' on. What really caught my attention was the thicker packaging, and the sparkly gold. By sparkly, I mean, it's pure glitter. 




Is it just me or do the colors remind me a lot of my MAC Hello Kitty Lucky Tom palette? (Besides the glittery-gold of course). 


The pigmentation is really nice. I'm not sure what to make of that glittery gold though. Seriously, how the hell did they make this color? The texture is a little harsh because of the glitter, but maybe it'll be good as liner. I'll take a chance at making a look out of this quad for you guys some other time.

Me likey.

Pride Isn't Much of a Sin, Right?


Wet n Wild's Color Icon Palette in Pride ($5) has an array of blues,greens, and of course, the highlights. I'm thinking their Greed palette and this one should switch names. The greens are wearable and very spring-like (think mint). The blues are bangin' also, deep and sensual navies.

Pride: Mattes and Shimmers

I probably won't wear the colors together (not that I don't like peacocks or anything, I just don't want to look like one). WAIT. Did I just have a revelation?! Maybe that's why pride is greens and blues (EQUALS PEACOCKS). Or maybe not. This set of colors has a super pigmented matte white. I like the minty shimmer the best, because It's probably the most wearable for me in the daytime. Following suit with the rest of their Wet n Wild trend, the dark colors have great color payoff and are super deep.

I don't believe I've mentioned this before, but all my swatches do not include a primer, so what you see is what you get.

And what you get is good.

Getting Greedy with Wet n Wild


First of all, Did you guys notice how adorable the names are by following suit with the 7 deadly sins? In that case, how was I only able to find FOUR quads at the store! I wanted all SEVEN! My. my, am I sounding greedy? *Blush*. It's this palette I tell ya.

I for one, think the colors in this Wet n Wild Color Icon Greed ($5) set should be green. Greed. It just makes sense. Maybe I'll write a letter.

Greed: Mattes and Shimmers

Greed has: a cream tan highlight, a perwinkle, two peach-pinks, and two blacks. 
The matte peachy color is BAM IN YO FACE. Look at it. It seems that I just painted my arm. Again, the blacks are SUPER pigmented. I don't see myself wearing this quad much, but It's ok. It'll keep my other Wet n Wild palettes company.

It's Not Love, It's Lust (From Wet n Wild That Is)


This palette makes me feel like a princess ;) . Wet n Wild, you're spoiling me with your sexy royal colors! The Wet n Wild Color Icon Lust palette ($5) is filled with cream, purples, a silver, and a black.

Do you guys see that color right there? That blackish-purplish shimmery color? I'm thinking Mac's Beauty Marked Dupe. Am I right? Am I right? Who's with me?

Lust: Mattes and Shimmers

Wowza. The pigmentation on their darker colors are ah-may-zing. This palette (not QUAD) consists of deeper purples/greys which are so deep and pack a lot of color. The violet is a really gorgeous plummy-violet. But my favorite color out of this set probably has to be that "Beauty-Marked dupe". The highlights are really stark-whitish though, so you have to be careful or else you'll look like you rubbed chalk all over your lids. That's right. Chalk. We aren't five anymore girls, and our faces aren't sidewalks. So, let's take it easy with the Wet n Wild highlights. That aside, me being a more neutral person, has to bump this set from a lust to an I-like-like-you. Other than my own personal taste, I'm sure you guys will like it =).

Wet n Wild Makes Me Vain


Wet n Wild? Really?

Yeah that's right. I'm usually not a fan but they recently released some sweet eyeshadow palettes. They're a part of their "Color Icon" line. At 5 bucks a pop, you're in for a good deal. Even better? I got my palettes (I can't call them duos, trios, or quads... what comes after???) for 40% off. And I'm sold.

HEYYY GOOD LOOKIN'.

 Vanity: Mattes and Shimmers

Vanity is a gold/neutral/brown palette. Just my kinda thing.Wet n Wild knows how to do it right, three mattes on the right, three shimmers on the left. Vanity is nicely pigmented. The packaging is so-so, just your average plastic case. The colors make up for that though. The mattes do seem to apply easier than the shimmers (forget the white that is barely-there on my skin), but then again, shimmers are ALWAYS easier to blend... I wish the two sides didn't compete for my heart like so... It's really stressing me out.
