Wet 'n' Wild ColorIcon Palettes PART 2 - Swatches and Thoughts...

Wet 'n' Wild ColorIcon Palettes PART 2 - THOUGHTS and SWATCHES...





COLOR ICON™ EYESHADOW PALETTE
Glamour-eyes from day to night! Each complementary shade can be mixed-and-matched for a variety of day-to-night looks. These palettes of 3 matte and 3 highly-pigmented effect shades are sure to please the shade sassy minimalist and enthusiast alike!


So being the glutton that I am (yes a play on the 7 deadly sins theme) I went ahead and picked up the other two palettes from the Wet 'n' Wild ColorIcon collection - Pride and Lust.
MY Four Ps

My first three Ps - Price, Packaging and Product - stay the same from the first review that you can read HERE.

Performance

These palettes are in sync with the first two. They applied beautifully, have great pigmentation and rocked my socks! The lightest shimmery shade from the Pride palette is so-so and comes off as an ivory sheen rather than the color you see. Other than than that all is well. The mattes are perfection and I think I will be using these a lot.

Overall the top two palettes are the Vanity and Lust palettes for sure since all six shades in each palette has great color payoff. The other two are also great but there is a slight miss with one or two of the shimmery shades.

                              247 Pride                        
247 Pride
Dark Blue / Teal / White
Frosty Dark Blue / Frosty Forest Green/ Icy Ivory

             248 Lust              
248 Lust
Dark Burgundy / Wine / Light Pink
Frosty Burgundy / Gunmetal Grey / Sparkly Ivory

'Fruity Pebbles' Look

'Fruity Pebbles' Look

Today I had some extra time to play with so I did a cut crease (yep instead of going to work early...for shame). Again I used my version of the cut-crease technique rather than the widely used pencil method.
I am also testing out a couple of new things before I form an opinion so if you see something new pop up don't assume I like it yet. I'm taking them for a ride before I say anything about them.

To blend the crease color I used MUFE Fuchsia #26 Eyeshadow (vibrant matte pink).
To deepen and define the crease I used MUFE Black #4 Eyeshadow (matte black).
For my highlight I used the Light Beige color from the Wet 'n' Wild Vanity Palette.
To cut the crease I used MAC Layin' Low Paintpot (matte beige) with a MAC 242 Brush.
For the inner tearduct area I used MAC Blanc Type Eyeshadow (matte ivory).
For the inner lid I applied Sugarpill Buttercupcake Eyeshadow (matte bright yellow).
On the middle of the lid I applied MUFE Irish Green #93 Eyeshadow (matte bright green).
For the outer lid I used MUFE Turquoise Matte #72 Eyeshadow (matte vibrant turquoise).
For my lower lashline I used MUFE Turquoise Matte #72 Eyeshadow (matte vibrant turquoise).
