Wet 'n' Wild Color Icon Eye Shadow Trio in Spoiled Brat


Wet n Wild Color Icon Eye Shadow Trio in Spoiled Brat ($2.99)
Coordinating trio shades takes the guesswork out of creating the perfect eye look. The "how to" palettes are created to highlight, define, and accentuate specific eye colors to create unique looks.


When these eye shadows started popping up everywhere online I was intrigued. I'm not a drugstore eye shadow girl at all but after seeing a few bloggers that I rather respect post rave reviews I figured they couldn't be that bad. Right? I was with my girlfriend wasting time at Walgreen's when we both came across the Wet n Wild eye shadow palettes. I picked out Wet n Wild Color Icon Eye Shadow Trio in Spoiled Brat. It is dramatic but I chose it for a reason, I had a show I was going to the next day and figured I could test it then.

Overall the trio is good. The silver and fuchsia shades are smooth, highly pigmented, and frosted. The black shade has chunks of silver glitter inside, so I was happy it wasn't as pigmented as the other two colors, it worked for me. I didn't find any of the three colors hard to work with, I followed Wet n' Wild's directions and created a simple yet dramatic look. Spoiled Brat is fun, and easy to use. The shadows are nice but I don't see myself running out to collect all of them any time soon. One of the major problems I had with these shadows are how easy they break. I don't know if any of you ladies have had the same problem? I broke one just walking around the store with it. Also, one broke while in my shopping bag as I headed home, I have never broke an eye shadow in my life until I came across these. I guess at $2.99 (or less depending on where you buy) what do you expect?

I didn't care for this palette at all-the colours are just too young for me. And that silver as a highlight was just too weird for me.
