I have always used high end eyeshadow (Lancome, Clinique, Estee Lauder, MAC etc)

I was skeptical at first about this eyeshadow from Wet n Wild because I am not a fan of Wet n Wild.

However, from the great reviews, I decided to give it a try!
I LOVE this eyeshadow because it is very pigmented and works better than my high end eyeshadow! It goes on really smooth.

This shade is great for a neutral/natural eye -no makeup look while making your eyes appear bigger. LOVE this shade! I have been reaching for this eyeshadow over my high end eyeshadow!!

Really good price and the packaging is great and convenient . It comes with a sponge tip applicator and a small tiny brush. This time Wet n Wild has not disappoint me at all!

I definitely recommend this eyeshadow and I am excited to buy a couple more shades!

I really like this palette too (and the Vanity one!!), the colors are soft and very good for everyday casual natural/neutral looks. Great for office and lazy days. Quality of shadows are excellent when considering the price. In my opinion, it rivals Urban Decay and MAC squarely.

This stays in one of my premade no brainer makeup bags that I can just throw in my purse & do my makeup while hubby drives to our destination lol. The colors & pigmentation are beautiful & very soft & neutral on my darker skin.

My go-to for everyday! Provides a soft, neutral look with just the right amount of color and shimmer, looks great on my NC15 skin! Creamy, blendable, and with a primer this lasts all day on me, and even without primer, it never creases! This with Maybelline Full 'n Soft mascara is what I wear on days when I want to look pulled together, but got no time to fuss. This is one of my fave WnW palettes, along with Silent Treatment and Lust. Way to go Wet and Wild, this has become a staple in my makeup bag!

If you like neutral colors, I definitely recommend picking up this palette along with Silent Treatment and the 8 pan in Comfort Zone. Had this palette existed back then, I would not have purchased Stila Kitten.

For the days I want to look very natural - as if the light is falling on my face just so, or as if I'm sitting under candlelight - this is my go-to palette. Challenging the results of even my favorite LORAC shades, Walking on Eggshells is a dream.




There's a pretty basic highlight shade, a shimmery cream; there's a pinky champagne; and lastly, a soft, medium bronze brown. These are nowhere near as pigmented as the colors in the other Wet n Wild runaway hits - Comfort Zone or Vanity - but they're still creamy and buildable. Perhaps the highlight shade can be considered chalky, but the other two are definitely not.




You won't get a mad amount of depth with these shades, but as I mentioned, you'll end up with a lovely, natural, yes-I-look-this-good-always finish. For a little bit of interest, I add the taupe shade from Silent Treatment to my crease when I'm wearing this palette.




$4.77 CAD, available at Walmart.

THe only color I use in my trio is the base color which is an awesome dupe for All That Glitters by MAC.

I use the base on the base of my eye along with WNW single Nutty.

The brow bone and the crease colors aren't very pretty to be honest. The brow bone color is chalky and the crease color is the ugliest brown I've ever seen. I also don't think that its dark enough for a crease.

The colors in this trio really wasn't all that appealing to me out of all their other ones but I picked it up anyway b/c it was on sale and I'm so glad. These colors are basic, not frills, not bright and exciting but so wearable and beautiful. The upper most shade is a frosty cream highlight sort of color with a slight gold undertone sort of like Mac Nylon. the middle brown shades is one of the softest pretties browns I have come across. It's a light shimmery brown with a bronzy golden undertone. The shade on the bottom is a light frosty peach that when blended all over the lid, just brightens and wakes up the eyes w/o being OMG I got a super frosty white shade on my eyes look. All 3 shades are so easy to blend, very pigmented and buttery.
I wouldn't use all 3 shades together since they are all shimmery/frosty but I have used the peach w/ the brown in the crease and it's beautiful. I do find that these shadows crease a bit and has some fallout.

Nice!!
This trio creates a beautiful natural neutral look perfect to pair with darker lips. You can tell it's makeup on but it's not overwhelming. Lovin' it! Goes great with my light olive skin tone.
Everything they say about these Wet N Wild eye shadows are true... Department store brands better step up the game because I reach for this far more often than my Lancome, etc.

Another fave WnW trio. This one is easily wearable as a trio, following their wonky "crease" "browbone" "lid" directions, or you can just treat it as three great colors to have in your collection of colors. I hate to admit that I actually like to wear them together. because I never really follow the directions that come on the pack of d/s cosmetics. Lol. These are great shades and they go on smooth. The most gorgeous neutrals, not subdued and boring but pretty. Easy to recommend this one because everyone will love it.

This is my go-to, everyday palette. The colours are fairly subtle and feminine, which is perfect for me. For reference I am NC20, neutral-warm and hazel eyes. I use it for a natural look when I don't want to look like I'm wearing makeup (hypocritical, I know). I am so impressed with the quality of Wet n Wild's palettes, I ended up buying all of the Color Icon Trio palettes on evilbay because they're not available here, and they're so worth it. I can't imagine ever hitting the pan either, you get so much product in it!

I love this trio! Lola Marie on You Tube did a tutorial using this and I followed it and it's become my everyday eye look.
Sandy color on bottom>apply to half the eye starting at the tear duct
Brown shade in middle>apply to outer half and in crease
Blend out from crease up with Urban Decay's Naked shade
I don't use the lightest color on the top of the trio, it's just too glittery.
I'll use a light color for highlight- like Mac's grain.
This is a nice trio and the colors last all day when you use a primer.

Absolutely lovee the pink lid colour in this trio! It's beautiful, the right amount of shimmer, very pigmented. I'd have to say it's probably my favourite colour out of any eyeshadows I own. It can be worn simply on its own to just glam and brighten up your eyes, I could rave about it all day haha.

The highlight colour is nice as well. However, the brown crease colour doesn't show up well on my skin, I don't think it matches my skin tone more. Kind of makes my eyes look like I'm sick unfortunately.

But all in all, well worth it palette to purchase, I picked it up on a whim at Zellers coz it was cheap and I was looking for neutral shades and I'm very glad I did!

I bought this on a whim at Walgreens about 2 months or so ago. When I got into my car I immediately swatched the colors on my hand and fell in love. The shadows are very smooth for such an inexpensive trio. As a person who hates very shimmery eye shadows I love this palette. I don't use the brow bone color ever because I hate shimmery highlights, but the quick sweep of the pink and brown is a great combination. I use these shadows more than I reach for my NYX shadows and my Naked palette. A great buy and I will definately buy some more shadows from Wet N' Wild.

I love this trio! I disagree COMPLETELY with the people who say this trio is "chalky"... I own both HE and DS products, and I can honestly say the texture of these are extremely similar to Urban Decay's (non-glittered) eyeshadows, with a silky, almost creamy application! Don't be freaked out about using all shimmery shades as lid, contour and highlight colors either. The shimmer is slight but nicely noticeable, as long as you don't pack the shadow on. This trio really lights up blue eyes. I'm a PPP, and I'm kind-of-scared-but-with-good-reason to use darkish crease colors, because they usually just make me look dirty, but the one in this set works without making me look like I've got a shiner or a hygiene problem. Almost any look I've created with this set is so pretty and natural looking! This is my totally-fool-proof eyeshadow I carry in my "go" makeup bag...Completely lovely, completely easy to apply (and get right!), and I won't completely fall apart if I forget it in a public bathroom somewhere... I will merely hop to the drugstore and get another! This is totally worth trying out!

*As other reviewers have stated, the eyelid shade in this set is a pink champagne shade much like Kitten (Stila) or Sin (UD), and while I have both of these I have not done a side-by-side comparison yet. However, the textures of all three are very similar - like buttah!

I really like this trio. Its decent, its not my holy grail drugstore trio thats for sure (covergirl shimmering sands already took up that spot) but its nice, i love the browbone color for the lid with a different taupe color in the crease! The pink and brown color are okay and they look nice together but to me i just dont find much use out of them! One little downside to this trio is much like all the rest of WnW's shadows, they are soo chalky! But the pigmentation is to die for, they are much more pigmented than mac shadows! Anyways this is still a amazing trio and for the price of $2.50, its a steal :)

Mostly wanted to comment because some previous reviewers said the Eyelid color is a dupe for UD Sin or Stila Kitten. It is NOT. I have both, and this color is a bit pinker and far less frosty than kitten. It's a close dupe to the bottom right color from WnW Sand Castle palette- which happens to be my HG. I also love the browbone color, but threw out the middle one- it wasn't terrible, but too warm for me.

Amazing product! This trio features 3 wonderful eyeshadows that you can get a ton of use out of. The first is the highlight: a creamy white-ish color that is silky smooth and glides on with no trouble what so ever (this can be said of all of these shadows). Next is the crease color: a gorg brown with a tiny amount of shimmer (perfecto!). And then finally the lid color: a beautiful pink with mini flecks of golden sparkles. I absolutely love all three of these! They're just great. And my favorite part of all: the pigmentation! My biggest problem with a lot of shadows is that they're chalky and not pigmented and you have to build them up. These shadows have tons of pigmentation that you don't have to build up and they glide on like silk. Love, love, love!
