Wet 'n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Collection Review & Swatches ♥

Wet 'n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Collection are described as:

Eight dynamic, perfectly color-coordinated shades with high pigment and pearl for ultra-impact color. Shades can be used together or individually to create an endless variety of looks.

I have here the 3 main stay palettes for the collection. I already used them during my makeup schooling and I am impressed with some shades and disappointed with some. 

PROS:

• They are affordable. PHP499 for 8 eyeshadow pans, basically PHP62.375 per shade. 
• The shimmers are intense.
• Buildable and blendable.
• Pigmentation is just okay.

CONS:

• Limited colors.
• Somewhat chalky.
• All shimmery eyeshadows.

Wet 'n Wild Color Icon Blushers Review & Swatches ♥

These are the blushers that I have in my collection

Wet 'n Wild Color Icon Blushers have 4 shades in total but as you can see I am showing 6 shades. The reason for that is some shade names has 2 different colors. I noticed that when I browsed through my collection and saw 3 with different colors and those are Mellow Wine, Heather Silk and Berry Shimmer. I failed to swatched the other Berry Shimmer for the reason that it's my sister's and not mine.

These are the shades from the pan.
(L-R: Pearlescent Pink, Heather Silk 1, Heather Silk 2, Mellow Wine 1, Mellow Wine 2, Berry Shimmer)

In the Wet 'n Wild website, the Color Icon Blushers are described as,

Sweep on this silky-smooth blush that strikes the perfect balance between a blendable transparent sheen and a radiant pop of maximum color. A special blend of treated nylon powders provides long-lasting color. Dermatologist-tested.

Heavily swatched on my arm.
(L-R: Berry Shimmer, Mellow Wine 2, Mellow Wine 1, Heather Silk 2, Heather Silk 1, Pearlescent Pink)

PROS:
These blushes are highly pigmented even with just swipe on the brush and on the cheeks. A little bit of it really goes a long way, but they are buildable too. They do last up until the end of the day. Plus they are affordable for only PHP299 on department stores. Unfortunately, the brand is not available on SM department stores but you can find them in Robinson's Department Stores, Pure Beauty and Landmark. They are also available in some online shops like Zalora, Lazada and more.

CONS:
For the cons of the blushers, one is that they are not consistent in colors. Like what I said earlier that one shade name has 2 different and has significantly different shades. Another thing is that the brush that comes with it is not very useful. The bristles are thick that makes them super stiff and scratchy. It doesn't pick up the blush and cannot blend the blush well on the cheeks.

♥♥♥

Pearlescent Pink is a light pink blush with shimmers in it. It gives a glow in the face but for my skin tone, which is medium, it's not flattering and I need to build the color up for it to show. I could use this for highlight instead.

This Heather Silk is a mauve-y pink blush that can be matched with almost any eye makeup and lipstick.

This Heather Silk is a matte fuchsia blush. This is my second favorite out of the bunch. As you can see it's not looking good as of the moment since I recovered it from a fall. Nevertheless, this blush is highly pigmented and may suit all skin tones.

This was my first wnw blush, and I fell in love with just my first application. This Mellow Wine is also matte and a darker tone than Healther Silk. It is a reddish pink color that can also match any eye makeup or lipstick. It flatters my medium skin tone.

Unlike the first Mellow Wine, this one has shimmers in it. It may be a dupe for Nars Orgasm but a tiny bit darker one.

The last blush in my collection is Berry Shimmer. I don't use this as much as the other shades since it is a dark berry shade with shimmers in it. The shimmer is not over the top but for me I still prefer a matte blush.






My sister's Berry Shimmer is also in a different shade than my Berry Shimmer but that one is like the Mellow Wine 1 but with shimmers.
