Wet N' Wild 8 Pan Palettes!


Comfort Zone
 Hey Everyone!!
First off, this is my first review post and I hope you find it helpful! Anyways, as you can tell from the title this post will be a review of the new Wet n' Wild 8 pan palettes. I only have two of them at the moment, Comfort Zone and Blue Had Me At Hello, and I honestly don't plan on purchasing the 3rd one (purples), just because it didnt get my attention.

Ok, so now onto the review... This one on the left is Comfort Zone.  Its a very neutral palette of colors.  Its an "everyday" kind of color selection.  You have gorgeous browns and greens and they can be used for a day or evening look.  Personally, this is my favorite palette of the two I have. 

from left to right: (Left Column of palette) Browbone, Eyelid, Crease, Definer

The Browbone shade on the left column is a very shimmery pale yellow shade.  Its super soft and very pigmented.  It can also be applied lightly for a subtle sheen on the browbone area. The only downfall in my opinion is that it has tiny chunks of glitter, and when I say tiny I mean TINY. Other than that it is a beautiful highlight and may also be used as an all over lid shade.

The Eyelid shade is a mix between a brown and melon color.  At first it reminded me of Melon pigment from M.A.C but Melon is way more melon-y (lol).  I absolutely love this shade as an all over color.  The pigmentation is superb.

The Crease shade is a warm medium brown.  Its very pigmented, soft, super blendable, and absolutely gorgeous! The finish is like a M.A.C's veluxe pearl.

The Definer shade is a matte dark brown with medium brown sparkles.  This is probably the most pigmented shade from the bunch.  Its super duper soft, a little goes a long way! 


from left to right: (Right Column of palette) Browbone, Eyelid,
 Crease, Definer

This Browbone shade is a mushroom-y grey color.  Its a unique shade, very hard to describe.  But without a doubt its stunning!  Personally, I wouldn't use this shade as a highlight because i think its to dark for my highlight, but I think it would be beautiful on darker skin tones.

The Eyelid shade is a warm chartreuse shade.  Its super pigmented and blendable. 

The Crease shade is matte dark green almost black with green sparkle.  This shade is the least pigmented shade from this palette.  It's not as soft and blendable as the rest of the shades.

The Definer shade is almost burgundy brown with a green sheen.  This shade is very unique.  Its pigmented, soft, and blendable. 

Overall, I highly recommend this palette.  And you can't beat the price tag! $4.99!! You can find this palette at any retailer that sells Wet n' Wild cosmetics.
Blue Had Me At Hello
So now onto the 2nd palette! This one on the left is Blue Had Me At Hello. This one is a blue color scheme palette.
With this palette you can also do a day look and darken it up for an evening look using the same palette. I love when companies do that so you dont have to look for darker shades that match elsewhere. You have it all in one palette!

The first Browbone shade is a super shimmery/glittery white.  This shade is not very pigmented, therefore you can only see the white shimmer/glitter.  I think the glitter really takes away from this shade. Rather than getting a subtle white sheen you get chunky glitter.

The first Eyelid shade is a medium silver.  There is no glitter to it and I love that.  This shade goes on with ease and has great pigmentation. 

The first Crease shade is a matte black with navy sparkle.  This shade is super pigmented and blends easily.  In the pan it looks very navy but when swatched or applied on the eye area it looses alot of the navy-ness.  You just get a matte black with very subtle navy sparkle.

The first Definer shade is a matte black.  This shade is not as pigmented as I thought it would be.  Don't get me wrong it is pigmented but it tends to sheer out very easily when swatched or applied. 

The second Browbone shade is a frosty pale blue.  It has no glitter, which is always a plus, therefore it provides a beautiful frosty sheen. 

The second Eyelid shade is a frosty turqouise.  This shade is absolutely beautiful.  It's super pigmented and blends nicely.  This is hands down my favorite shade in this palette.

The second Crease shade is a frosty navy.  This shade is not as pigmented as I would like it to be.  It's a pretty shade but it just doesnt grab my attention.

The second Definer shade is a matte black with silver sparkle.  The silver sparkle is is more like chunks of glitter.  This shade doesn't blend out as easily as the rest.  I think this shade would work great over a black base so the silver glitter stands out a bit more.

Overall, the Blue Had Me At Hello palette is a good palette if you are looking to expand your blue eyeshadow collection.  You get a beautiful pale blue highlight shade and a gorgeous turqouise.  Not to mention you get a pigmented matte black and a frosty silver (collection staples!).  If you find that you already have these shades i mentioned then i would skip this palette because the other shades are not absolute must-haves.
