    i fell in love with this after i saw a guru wore this all the time in her videos. although it is discontinued i found it at my local five below ( a 5 dollar and under store) i use the matte side way more than the shimmery side, and the mattes are similiar to mac's bisque(light), cork/wedge(med), and embark (dark). the top one i believe is sold as a single eyeshadow called brulee? and the gold in this palette too, i believe. the formula is creamy and soft, and easy to blend. i wish they never discontinued this!

    I went through 2 of them already and when I went to buy another at my drugstore I was told it was discontinued, I panicked and went to every drugstore near me and couldn't find a single one !! I had to buy it on Ebay for freakin' 14$ !!! Yes that how much I like this palette, I'm just in love with the 2 lighter matte shades, I use them everyday. So if it's still available where you live, don't hesitate and just buy it , you won't regret it !

    This is my second Wet 'n' Wild palette. The first one I got was 'Greed'. I love them both and on most days I'll use them together! This is a great basic palette to own because it has very pigmented browns that compliment any look! I ordered mine offline and when it came in the packaging was sort of messed up (the lid will not snap closed entirely). But, I adore this palette and I will be ordering more of these bc I honestly don't think I could live without them!

    This. Product. Is. Necessary. I haven't even used the shimmery side. And after reading from another reviewer that this is being discontinued, I think I'm going to die. I typically use the lightest all over my lid and the second lightest as the contour. Add some winged liquid liner and I feel like a sexy pinup. The colors are so so so blendable. Again, I don't know what's been going on at Wet n Wild but they're really doing something right! This is one of those sets where it's guaranteed you'll hit pan.

    This palette has 6 colors. 3 matte, and 3 shimmery ones. They are neutral which i like because i'm not that crazy girl bold color look. If that even made sense haha. i do wish that the color boxes are bigger and the brushes that come with it, you can throw those away cause they are so small and useless! The pigmentation is not great, but its not bad i would give it 3 stars. Without an primer, it stays about 2 hours on my oily lids.

    Perfection. One of my best makeup finds ever. I'm from Australia, where a single M.A.C eyeshadow costs 33$. Wet n wild is not sold here, but I bought this online from "nonpareil boutique" (amazing site) for less than $5, and it is beautiful. It always seems to find it's way into whatever eyeshadow look I do, as the colours are very practical and also fantastic quality. The three matte eyeshadows are smooth, opaque and not chalky in the slightest. I can honestly say that they are BETTER than M.A.C's matte shadows (but then again I have never been particularly impressed by M.A.C's eyeshadows in general). I adore the pale shimmery eyeshadow as a wash, it gives the most beautiful and subtle sheen to my lids. I'm floored by the quality of this palette. Needless to say, I HIGHLY recommend it.

    I don't even know where to start.. I have used this palette every single day since I discovered it in September of 2011, whether it be just a couple of colors for blending or highlighting or every shade in the palette for a slightly bolder look. It is the perfect blend of matte and shimmery shades. So many neutral looks can be achieved with this one palette. I also own the UD Naked palette and was infatuated with it for awhile, but have to say I was a little overwhelmed when trying to come up with looks using it. However, coming up with looks out of the Vanity palette is easy as pie. For everyday, I use the matte creamy shade all over my lids, the matte mid-tone warm brown in my crease, and the matte dark brown along upper and lower lash lines for a bit of definition. In conjunction with a great mascara, this combination gives me the PERFECT neutral everyday work or school look, but I can also achieve a great night-out or date look just by sweeping on a shimmery highlight or a bit of gold across the lid. I should mention that the shadows are soft and buttery and blend effortlessly when used with brushes (I love EcoTools and RealTechniques). Their softness can make them a little more prone to cracking if dropped, so be careful, but otherwise... this is the best eyeshadow palette I have come across in years - drugstore and high end!

    Love it...I only wear the matte side because at my age shimmer just draws attention to the crows feet. I still think the shimmery side is gorgeous and wears exceptionally well, I just don't like shimmer. The matte side is perfect...middle shade on the lid, dark shade in the crease and light color as the highlight...it does not get any simpler than that... the result is classic and very pulled together. I got scared when I discovered it was being discontinued and went out and bought two backups. (my 23 year old daughter took one back to North Dakota with her). Dirt cheap and serves its purpose.

    With a primer this palette will defeat any high end eyeshadow undoubtedly!

    I absolutely love this eyeshadow palette! It has all of the shades you would need for a subtle or very dramatic eye look. The shadows are very pigmented and wear very well with any sort of primer, and the colours suit my hazel eyes very well. I would definitely recommend you picking up this palette, especially since it is quite cheap.

    Just wanted to let you all know that this and all the (discontinued) 6-color ColorIcon Palettes are still available on drugstore.com. I bought Lust and Vanity and hope to review them soon.

    I had my eye on this palette for a while now, and when I saw it was 50% off, I knew I had to try it out. These eyeshadow colors are well pigmented, and good for everyday use. The eyeshadows I don't care for so much is the yellowish-gold color on the shimmer side and the camel colored one on the matte side. I will have to figure out how to wear them. The rest of the eyeshadow colors I like.

    I love this palette. Its my everyday go-to "natural eye" palette. The palette is split into two sides: One matte neutral side, and one shimmer neutral side. The matte's are great for everyday, and are highly pigmented. The other side is ok, but the top color is not too pigmented. Its just white/yellow shimmer. I use it in the center of the lids on top of the matte colors to add a glow.
    Overall, this is awesome!

    I am in love with this palette! It's great to do a pin-up eye look for my skin tone. (I used the left side of the palette for that, and it looks beautiful!) The colors are pretty pigmented, super silky, build-able and they blend very well. I am very pleased with the fact that there are three matte shades along with three shimmery shades that go together very well.
    The shimmery white is very similar to M.A.C. White Rabbit, and the gold color is almost an exact dupe for M.A.C. Family Treasures, from the Reelers and Rockers palette. I actually prefer the Wet n Wild shadows because it takes less effort to get a more vivid color, and the shadows actually feel more luxurious to me. The only dislike for me is the palette and sorry excuse for applicators. I think it's be great if it included a mirror, and it wouldn't hurt if it was cuter packaging. :) Other than that, I highly recommend this palette!

    Love these highly pigmented colors (especially the matte ones). Super inexpensive and well worth the 4 or 5 bucks. I believe there is two mac dupes in this palette one being Mulch i believe. Only once did i have problem with this, when i used elf's eyelid primer. It just didnt work well together. When i use my Urban Decay primer potion colors are great and blendable. Usually use this for a natural look- I use the medium matte shade all over eye, darker matte shade in crease and outter corner, and lightest matte shade as a highlight. Love X0X0

    The star of this pallete, for me, is the lightest matte color. I draw my eyebrows on everyday and use it to set them, and it works great. I went out and got the single (Brulee-- or at least I think it's the same color. Close enough in any case) because I'm almost out of it. The other colors, specifically the matte ones, are awesome. I use the middle matte as a crease color, and the darkest as a liner if/when I feel like it. The shimmery colors are nice too, except I can't really comment on the gold-- I have yet to wear it, just because I don't really like gold on me.
    Despite all that, I'm not sure I'll repurchase this, because I can get the lightest matte in a single. The other colors are great, don't get me wrong, but I don't use them much, simply because I have a lot of other colors like them.

    HG for the matte eye shadows. They go on incredibly smooth and pack lots of color. The shades are gorgeous and I got it for $3 during a sale at Rite Aid. You simply cannot go wrong with this palette.

    A comment on dupes : upper left is Blanc Type! It's a different color than the similar shade in Greed and I Heart Matte).
    Middle left is not quite wedge (but very similar.)
    Lower left is the same as the color in I Heart Matte.
    (the consensus seems to be that the other four are embark, nylon, either gorgeous gold or goldmine, and mulch, but I can't comment since I don't have any of those).
