Wet N Wild – Walking on Eggshells Review

Hi my friends!

Hope you all are having a nice day. How are the Navratri celebrations coming along? I am excited to dress up for Diwali. And that means this mama went make up shopping.

In Dubai, drugstore make up means a quick run to Centrepoint and picking up the famous affordable brands like Rimmel, Revlon and of course my favorite Maybelline. Finding an even more affordable wet n wild make up in Virgin store meant that both I and my hubby’s wallet are happy.

Out of the few beauties I picked up, this eye shadow trio has become my favorite.

It is their best seller Color Icon Trio- Walking on Eggshells!

Here are the pictures and swatches in day light (freckle skin alert :p)

Haha that crease shade is not showing up well as it blended into my super brown skin (feeling so exotic). Love how buttery smooth and pigmented these shades are.

I cannot imagine splurging on high end eye shadows as I am not a regular eye shadow wearer.  If you are just like me and do not use eye shadows on a regular basis, this could be well worth a try. I use concealer and powder on my lids for priming and this beauty stayed on my eyelids for more than 8 hours and that is a huge deal for me. I have slightly oily lids and this beauty did not fade at all.

What I like?

• The Price. It is only AED 29
• The pigmentation
• Can build even layers easily
• Very smooth
• Not chalky at all
• Longevity on oily lids

What I dislike?

The crease shade is not matte (not complaining as I own a decent brown matte eye shadow). I actually like to use this shade as an entire eyelid shade with lots of mascara.

Dupe Alert:

Apparently pinterest is going crazy with this palette as it has shades that are dupes to MAC and Urban Decay eye shadows (What ??) So, I spent an entire afternoon looking at the reviews and swatches and after getting almost squinty eyed, here are my findings:

• Brow bone shade is a dupe for Mac Shroom. The brow bone shade is more yellow compared to Urban Decay Naked 1 Palette’s Virgin shade. I personally prefer the brow bone shade than Virgin.
• Crease shade is a dupe for Urban Decay Naked 1 Palette Smog. (Although I personally think smog is slightly darker)
• Eyelid shade is a dupe for Mac Naked Lunch. Love this shade.

I am so keen on trying so many different looks with these beautiful shades. If I muster the courage then, I would post an image or two in the upcoming posts.

Have you tried this beauty? What are your thoughts?

See you soon with a video. Stay blessed!
