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.

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!
