Shimmery mess and not that glow from within nice shimmer, but the cheap Over The Top shimmer. I would love to find some nice neutral DS eye shadows but the colors weren't anything I personally would wear. Since I picked up this and Comfort Zone I'm put off a bit from Wet n Wild since I haven't found them to produce nice neutrals which is what I prefer.


Blending these shadows did turn into a bit of a muddy mess and not effort less. So if value your time over your money then I would not suggest WnW, if you have loads of time to make these work and enjoy using color more give them a go.

I adore this little trio. It is a bunch of pigmented neutrals, and is labeled with "Highlight", "Crease" and "Eyelid". By far my favorite is the brow color, and it is very similar to UP Virgin from the Naked palette, although I admit that the Urban Decay one is superior. The only problems I have with the shades are the fallout and the shimmer. Often I'll wear just the brow color and the lid color with a matte or a semi matte in the crease to tone down the shimmer. Wet n Wild trios are amazing, and for the price, they are well worth it. I would say these are the best shadows in the drugstore, but if you tend to like mattes, they may not be for you.

Would I buy again? You BET I would and at these prices, you can afford to have one at home, one in your purse, one in your gym bag, etc....(and I do!)

This palette is very aptly named - 3 light but still well pigmented neutral shadows in generous sized pans. Used individually or in the suggested brow/crease/lid combo (or with other shadows you own), these produce a very finished looking natural but sophisticated eye. I especially love the white browbone shade for use at the inner corners of my eyes, sort of beside the bridge of my nose. This white really lightens and brightens that area without making the blue shadows I have there look gray - instead, that area just looks bright and light and fresh but not artificial either. The lid shade is a flattering peachy/beige with sheen and it looks SO nice on the whole lid or inner 1/2 to 2/3 with the crease colour on the outer half. It is also an amazingly close dupe for MAC's LE Grand Entrance, one of my all time favourite shadows ever! It is even closer to Grand Entrance than it is to other shades mentioned - UD's Sin, Stila Kitten, MAC Naked Lunch, etc. The lid and crease shades blend together so seamlessly and are so well-paired. When I wear both of these shades, I go for a matte brow bone highlight.


The more I try these shadows - singles, trios and quads (can't wait for the 8-pan to arrive in stores here), the more amazed I am by the great quality at this unbelievably affordable price. It's not like I don't have a large collection of high end shadows - Chanel, Clarins, UD, MAC, etc. - but these WnW shadows measure up very well on all counts to the higher end brands I own.

I bought this along with several other Wet 'n Wild trio's based on great reviews here and on YouTube.

Walking on Eggshells definitely has warm undertones. The lid color is a pretty champaign, a bronzey color for crease, and a cream for highlight. All three shades are incredibly shimmery, especially the highlight. I do wish the highlight is matte because an allover shimmery eye is a bit too much and one-dimensional.

I'm incredibly surprised by the high pigmentation of these eyeshadows! The shadows are soft and easy to blend. It's a very quick 5 minute eye look for me if I'm running late or just too plain lazy to dig out my other eyeshadows. They also last all day. I do my makeup around 8:30 in the morning and by 7pm, they still look very fresh.

The two drawbacks are: 1. the lack of a matte shadow and 2. some fallout. Nowadays, I do my eye makeup first before putting on foundation so I don't worry about fallout as much.

Bottom line: For 2.99 + tax, this trio is a must for a neutral day look, just go light on the highlight! Oh, I threw out the brushes since they were rubbish.

I love this shadow. The highlight color is perfect on my fair coolish skin and the eyelid color is gorgeous. My husband said it makes my eyes look super bright. Love love love it. I am not a huge fan of shimmer but i actually feel these are not shimmery at least on me. Just a nice sheen. So beautiful and cheap!

Ok, so who knew that Wet N Wild could have such incredible, high-end comparable products for so cheap??? And they don't test on animals which is a huge deal for me. I don't particularly care for the dark brown crease color in this pallet, but I do use the other two colors a lot. I find the brown color to be too boring and matte. I like a lot more shimmer and a brown color with rich wine or purple tones to it. This brown is just plain old poop brown. These shadows are very creamy and soft, easy to apply, highly pigmented, and wash off easily with a warm washcloth at the end of the day. They don't crease or fade throughout the day for me. My favorite look is the two lighter colors of this pallet and the deep purply/gold in Stila's Indian Summer pallet (discontinued now.) I remember when WnW used to make cheap "kiddie" type makeup years ago. I don't know WHAT happened inside that company, but their makeup today is unbelievably good!

I'm in love with W&W now. The quality is absolutely superb. What I like best about the trios is the pigmentation and quality. The price? OH YES! $2.99 at my local Walgreens which I have walking distance.. which can be dangerous!

This trio is as perfect as can be. I use this over my UD Naked palette. The package is very sleek and simple. I can easily keep this in my make up back without the un-necessary clutter of other shades. I don't really like to use the highlighter of the other trios, but this one I absolutely love. It's a perfect creamy color, very slight shimmer which is great because I don't look like a disco ball. The lid shade is a pinky light brown, which is great because it makes my eyes look bright and open. That's very useful especially when you lack sleep much like myself! The crease shade is a midtone-dark brown, slightly taupe. I'm all over anything taupe so it's right up my alley and perfect for the crease. All three shades blend beautifully.

Overall, this is a GREAT trio for work or school if you just want to take one thing with you. I'm going to have a long commute to school which means I have one hour to get ready from dressing, eating, and make up and this trio is going to make my mornings a breeze!

I seriously think some disgruntled workers angrily left MAC and/or Urban Decay and were hired by Wet 'N' Wild. It makes no sense at all why these shadows are so creamy, pigmented, soft, and gorgeous, but they cost less than Oreos. Walking on Eggshells is exceptional. It has a warm shimmery ivory, a beautiful light chocolate brown, and a stunning frosty pink shade. They are perfect paired together. I especially love the pink. It makes my brown eyes look awake and beautiful. You get a ton of product, too. Have you seen the size of some Too Faced shadows? What the?! Overall, I wish I could give it a ten. I love Wet 'N' Wild. I do.

I love this trio for my everyday work look. I don't feel like it is too shimmery for daytime or my age (30). I use the brow color all over my eye and then the pink on the lid. Add the brown on the outer V and it is really flattering. I do wish the pinky shade was a touch more pigmented but it packs on nicely and none fo the shades have fall out. I'd buy this again.

Normally I love W&W shadows (especially the new Color Icon ones), but this is just too shimmery for me to wear for every day. If they made this in a matte version I would be in heaven, but for now I only use it as accent colors. Still, it was $3 so it's not like the world's greatest tragedy or something! If you like shimmer and have younger eyelids, this could be great for you. Me, not so much.

From the package, this reminds me of the limited edition Earth Brown eye shadow that Wet n Wild sold a few years ago. However, this is too frosty for me when I put it on. I prefer the more natural looking Earth Brown trio. I find the crease color a bit too light for my complexion.

I absolutely adore this product as an everday easy eye look. I didn't give it a five because I don't think it is a good as my too faced natural eye palette quality BUT that being said it is a VERY good knock off for the same type of look. The colours are very frosty so beware if you don't like frost (I happen to love it). The formula is very creamy and blendable with little fall out. Its a great product for the price and I highly recommend it!

These eyeshadows are okay. Theyre pigmented and are very nice shades. But they are extremely glittery and frosted. There is not way to do a look using all three shades because it is just to overwhelming. I think there shud have been atleast one matte to kind of even it out, but nope. So i would not recommend this trio.

I bought this product at a grocery store that was closing so it ended up being like $1 or $2 but I love it. The color pay off is pretty decent for the price, I bought a revlon palette similar to it and it was very powdery with no color pay off. The wet and wild palette does have some fallout but nothing I cant handle, its a very wearable look, very frosty.

con: doesnt last for very long. but i use primer potion for a little long lasting effect.

over a good product.

This eyeshadow is so buttery and pigmented! And they last longer than my urban decay shadows! I love this, and i mostly only use the bottom color for a beautiful wash of color, but i use the other two from time to time.

amazing cheap product. i will try the other shadows soon :)

Love this palette! Other reviewers mentioned the shimmer factor and I was a little nervous to purchase this because I don't like shimmer. However, I do not think it's over the top at all--in fact I think it's gorgeous; perfect for work. The lid color is a light pink-bronze color and I usually cannot pull off a pink tone with my green eyes, but this one works! I use the browbone color on my entire lid, then the pinkish color on the outer half of my lid and into my outer v, and then the crease color to darken out my outer v and under my eye. I will say all of the colors are very pigmented. I think this palette is awesome!
