wet n' wild baked palettes

 

Retailed at Walgreens: $4.99

These were limited edition for Holidays from last year, but I did not see them in Walgreens until January in NYC. It is very hard to find, and if you come across these, do pick up all of them because they are really great baked mineral wet/dry eyeshadow dupes for high end brands as well as the Sephora collection baked palettes($28 each with 10 shadows)

The eyeliners are small but not so bad. They are creamy but just standard wet n' wild liners, and cannot be compared to Urban Decay liners which are super creamy. However, these liners that came with the Wet n' Wild palettes are nice. Especially the black one with silver glitters, but do not use it near your waterline if you have sensitive eyes. 

The shadows are beautiful and super pigmented! I applied these wet with a regular fluffy eyeshadow brush which is not a good idea. I suggest using a flat eyeshadow brush or synthetic brush when applied wet, and use fluffy brush or blending brush when applied dry. Either way, these came out great without any base applied underneath. I am sure they will look even better with a base. I personally think these are better than the Milani baked eyeshadows though each shadow is relatively smaller than the Milani one. These eyeshadows are about the size of a dime, but little goes a long way since the pigmentation is amazing that you do not need to apply layers of color. I highly recommended these if you ever seen one. I got them because I saw Grace from Cosmeticcouturier did swatches and tutorials on Youtube and Facebook.
