Hi ladies!
Today I have for you an oldie, but goldie eyeshadow trio from Wet n Wild, from the old Mega Eyes collection in Soft Smoky. I have this for about a couple of years, I've got it during a trip in Italy, when I had no idea what Wet n Wild was. I'm so sorry that I didn't buy more shades as now I'm dying to put my hands on more Wet n Wild eyeshadow and it sucks that they're not available in Romania (I've only say a couple of shades at www.makeup-shop.ro). Anyhow, I'll share a picture of this trio which doesn't belong to me as mine looks to bad to be in a photo, I've abused it a lot! :))
I wouldn't have believed all the hype around the newer collections from Wet n Wild if I hadn't had this trio that it's actually one of my most used eyeshadow little palette.
The packaging is actually pretty cheap looking, kind of flimsy, but honestly it does not matter as the product inside is great. The three eyeshadows come with a little sponge applicator which is actually good at smudging the black shade along lashline and a hidden little mirror on the side.
The texture of these shadows is soo amazing, better than many high end eyeshadows. They're highly pigmented, the formula is so creamy, almost buttery so the blending is a dream with these eyeshadow. There is no fall out even though these are glittery shadows. The staying power is also great, they stay on all day long with primer and without fading away.
There are no names for the eyeshadows, so I'll start from bottom up.
The first shade is a golden rose one. Very beautiful, great as the lightest shade in smokey eye but also great using on its own on the whole lid. I've hit pan, that's how much I love it, it complements my eyes so beautifully.
The middle shade is a black/very dark taupe with lots of shimmery particles. I love to use smudged along my lashline or for a smokey eyes. It's more sheer than the other two but it's buildable so you can decide the intensity of the look.
The third shade is a darker version of the first, kind of rose-taupe color. It's great for defining the crease and it works so well with the other three shades in the trio.
Overall, I can't say much more than that I really love these shades, they make me want to own all Wet n Wild eyeshadows they've ever produced! This trio it's still available online at ACW's website, I saw they still sell the old Mega Eyes trios. I know, the shipping is insane but the website has so many beauty items that we don't have in Europe that a larger order will compensate. Other retailers only sell the newer collections such as Color Icon and Fergie's.
If you're in the search of good eyeshadows and don't want to go after high end products, these Wet n Wild trios are for you. For my non-USA readers, I tell you, they really worth paying the shipping cost from USA!
Love at first brush
