This is such a incredible product. The pigmentation is great, and easily blendable. Great for everyday neutral looks, as well as a smokey night look. I wish the packaging was a little more sturdy, however.I love that you can create so many different looks with this palette. i use it on a daily basis.

EXCELLENT product for the price. The pigmentation is great, easily blended, nice staying power plus a few MAC "dupes" in this palette. Great for everyday neutral looks, small enough to travel with. I wish the packaging was a little more sturdy, however.

This is a great palette with a mix of matte and shiny shades. I find the middle shades too orangey to wear, but the other 4 are great..in different combos. These stay on better than many other eyeshadows I've tried that have been way more expensive. I wish Wet n Wild would make more neutral palettes of this quality. The other palettes just have weird color combos.
I keep reaching for this every day!

I LOVE THIS!!!! In my opinion, Wet'n'Wild has really came up in the world of makeup! Their shadows are great!! I literally use this pallet with almost all of my looks everyday! The cream color that's matte is the perfect brow highlight! Love Love Love!!

LOVE THIS PALETTE! Not only does it have a nice mix of neutrals it has amazing pigmentation. One half of the palette is shimmery while the other half is matte, so it also has a variety of finishes. Its fairly small and its easy to just throw in my purse or makeup bag and although the packaging doesn't look very thick or strong, all my shadows have hold up perfectly fine. Love this palette for everyday looks!

I've wanted to get my hands on this product for the longest time, and every single time I get a chance to do so, I try to convince myself that the colors won't look good on me. I guess, I should've listened to that little voice in my head because this palette is simply and utterly phenomenal! Unlike other drugstore brands out there, the shadows in this palette are extremely pigmented and long lasting--even without primer. They're super soft and has a buttery texture that doesn't flake on the pan when you dip your brush into it. The pan contains six colors all-in-all, the first column contains matte neutral wearable colors that looks very good on warm medium skintones. And the second column are its shimmery versions of the first column (with the exception of the 'yellow' middle color that actually swatches like a light shimmery gold that's surprisingly wearable). I use this palette as an everyday eyeshadow palette because this is seriously all you'll ever be needed to create a wearable, neutral eye. And if you want a more neutral smokey eye, you can layer both columns on top of each other to intensify the colors even more (as if they're not already pigmented enough) and to make the look more dramatic. I'm so glad I finally gave in and bought this palette because it's definitely worth the money and to be quite frank, I think this comes off way better than any of my high end eye shadows. A must buy!

EDIT!
I took off two lippies because after using this palette a couple of times, I realized the colors were WAY to warm for me. Even though my skin has more yellow undertones, I feel that Walking on Eggshells, another ColorIcon Palette from Wet 'n' Wild, matched me better (which is a cooler neutral trio). I don't find myself reaching for this any longer, while with Walking on Eggshells, I have already bought my second palette plus a couple backups already, so I feel that I kind of wasted a pretty good product. Even the more wearable shades in the palette lie the highlight or the shimmery crease color that's a bit more sheer seemed way to warm on me. But if you like wearing warmer colors, go ahead and buy this, but for those who tend to lean on softer neutrals, swatch them first or in my case, use the Walking on Eggshells palette instead. :(

I love this palette for an everyday neutral look. The colors are beautiful, blend easily, they're pigmented, and last long. I have no complaints about this cheap eyeshadow palette except for the fact that I wish all the colors were matte, only because I love matte eyeshadows. The palette comes with 3 matte shades and 3 shimmer shades. I will definitely repurchase.

If you were to own only one eyeshadow palette, this is the one I would recommend.

There is no reason why someone shouldn't just go out and get this. Your getting 6 HIGHLY pigmented eye shadows for like $4, and when u get them during a sale there around $2. Ok so if the price wasn't enough to convince you, this is a multi purpose palette. It can be used to highlight your nose and cupids cusp, and can be used as a brow color, a eyeliner ?(when mixed with a mixing medium or water). You can create several different eye looks with this palette.Its a day to night palette.The quality is great.

My favorite of the four palettes for daytime, neutral wear. My best combination is of the shimmery ones. I use the gold-ish color all over my lids, the brown right beneath it as a crease color, and the shimmery color above the gold as a brow highlight. I've used it a lot, it's my most used shadow palette.

It's cheap, but I don't like the mattes. However, it's great to have a choice. Glaring hot, bright sunny day=matte eyeshadow day!

Cloudy day, with not much light=shimmery eyeshadow day. Very versatile. Good investment, especially since it's cheap. Love it.

LOVE THIS PRODUCT! ok sorry for the caps haha but I seriously love this pallete and I use it almost everyday. Its hard to find shadows that are pigmented and are good quality for a good price. This has it all its super pigmented and it lasts on my eyes all day of course you always have to use a primer when using drugstore brand or any brand for that matter. They have gorgeous colors and are super blendable I higly reccomend this pallete! The colors are gorgeous and can creat a neautral or even a smokey look!

Probably one of the best, cheap drugstore eyeshadows out there! I was surprised on how pigmented these colors were! This set has the perfect shades for any look! Love it!
I use my fingers to apply most of the colors on my lids and wow, like I said very pigmented. Also, with a brush, it picks up a lot of product. Overall, definitely recommend and I will be purchasing more colors from this line!

Wow this product is just.... amazing! I've had this for a while now, and let me just tell you, i use this bad boy everyday! The pigmentation is wonderful, and at about 5 dollars this product is a dream! All the shades are rich and velvety, and the deep brown matte shade and medium shimmery brown are simply to die for. Love and will deff be stocking up :)

Absolutely love this pallette! The colors are all extremely pigmented with very little fallout. I find the shades are very easy to blend and will work with any eye color.
All of the Wet 'n' Wild eyeshadows I've used have been top quality and are easily the best at the drugstore.
An excellent pallette for those just starting out with makeup or those looking for the perfect neutral pallette!

I'm a product junkie and have tried most of the high end brands. This is my favorite eye shadow palette. I have brown hair and blue eyes and I wear it every day.

I own Vanity and Lust and have been pleasantly surprised. I purchased Vanity first as an addition to my ridiculous bronze and golds collections and had to go back and get Lust as soon as I had tried it..
Considering these are drug store products, the colour payoff, selection, and quality is amazing! I personally have had no problem with blending the majority of the colours, as I found their consistency easy to work with. I have not experienced fall out and I find that they last, with or without primer. Like any product, they are obviously better with a primer, but I have worn my Vanity colours without plenty and they have held out.

Overall, very satisfied!

I really loved these colours in this palette however they always left my eyes red and very irritated so I cannot use it anymore. Could be because I wear contact lenses but i'm not sure as I have never had a problem with any other eyeshadow brands. So unfortunate as these glide on smoothe and are quite pigmented.
