Wet n Wild Colour Icon Single Eye Shadow

I decided to pick up a couple of these shadows after hearing that they were great for the price, and to be honest, I am not disappointed. They retail for $3 and can be found at Farmers and online retailers. There isn't a huge variety of colors, but I think there are more available overseas than in New Zealand anyway.

I chose the colours Brulee and Sugar, Brulee is a matte beige cream colour, and Sugar is a shimmery white shade. Brulee is perfect for setting an eyeshadow base, which is what I use it for, and Sugar can be used to highlight the inner corner and brow bone or even could be used on the lid. These come in a plastic case, quit cheap looking but I personally don't mind it too much considering they were only $3 each. I found that the consistency of these shadows was quite dry but still smooth, however colour payoff was still decent. They stayed in place all day with little issues - I have oily eyelids but when I prime my eyes properly I find eyeshadow has no issues staying.

Overall, I'd say for the price these are certainly worth a try. They're definitely not comparable to, say, a MAC eyeshadow, but they are decent quality for the price and if you're like me and have not tried many high end shadows you will find these work just fine.

I have 2 shades of these shadows, amd they are lovely buttery & pigmented. Unfortunately they make my eyes water so have discontinued use. Which is very stink, because I loved them otherwise.

I had the shade in Creme Brulee, which is a shade exactly as it sounds - a nude beige, skin tone colour. It's a good sized shadow for the price you pay but the plastic packaging feels cheap and for no obvious reason my lid detached itself from the bottom of the compact halfway through finishing it.

I had heard people compare this shadow to Bare Minerals Well Rested and MACs Brule shadow, but I didn't have that same experience. I found the shadow to be chalky and powdery. I used it as an all over shadow every day to use it up, but it left a dry looking finish on the lid when on used its own so I always had to go over it with other shadows.

I would give Wet n Wild shadows a go again, but in the version of the much raved about 3 or 8 pan palettes instead.

I've gone through two of these shadows: Brulee and nutty, brulee was a matte light skin tone shade that I used for brow highlighting. Nutty was a shimmery brown-taupe shade similar to Satin Taupe from MAC. Both of these shades were very pigmented, lasted all day and didn't crease. I always used them with a primer, so I can vouch for how they last without, but I can't imagine they would be too different

Okay so maybe the brand name isn't OVERLY appealing nor is the packaging however we need to look past all that and hail all that is the product! First off...the pigmentation is extraordinary. One touch and you will gain buttery, smooth product on your finger (and a tonne of it!). I own the shade Nutty and it is a good dupe for Mac's Satin Taupe. The packaging is quite teeny and small but you get a reasonable amount of product. The Colour Icon Single Eyeshadow doesn't have a bulky packaging and can be slipped easily in your makeup bag. The snap closure allows for the makeup to stay safe. Though very pigmented, there isn't much fall out which is a gigantic bonus. Overall: highly recommended!

I have this single in Nutty and Penny and these are some high quality, intensely pigmented single eyeshadows. Penny is a gorgeous copper/rose gold shade, has a perfect peachy sheen and looks amazing on the lid. Nutty is my favourite taupey lid shade, it looks so beautiful over Maybelline Color Tattoo in Tough As Taupe. The price point on these is phenomenal, I paid around $3 for mine! They are so worth it and they're also very easy to depot if you're wanting to put them in a z palette. I suggest you pick up a few of these, they are buttery smooth and have very little fallout.

I always have 'Brulee' in my make up drawer as it is my perfect highlight & blending shade. It is very pigmented, buttery, blends well and has awesome colour payoff! I often find paler shades to be either really expensive or chalky and unusable.. 'Brulee' is amazing! it is so affordable and has made me keen to try more shades.

Wet n wild shadows always impress me, and these singles are no exception. They have great pigmentation, are easy to blend and are long wearing. Amazing in comparison to other drugstore eye shadows and more comparable to higher end shadows. I highly recommend these and any other wet n wild shadows you can get your hands on. Amazing price too!

These are amazingggg! The colour payoff is fantastic! With a primer, they last all day on my oily lids and they are very easy to blend. I also reccomend the coloricon 6 shade palettes which have a mix of shimmer and matte shades.
