Sweet As Candy


Wet 'n' Wild is a brand I hear a lot about over youtube and blogs and for some reason I was slightly reluctant to try their products, maybe it was down to the cheap price tag? I've never heard bad things about their products so I'm surprised it took me so long to try anything of theirs. And I have to say I'm really glad I did! It's probably one of the cheapest makeup brands I've come across and I always expect the product to reflect the price. But this was not the case, I picked up this palette as I liked the colours and wanted a naked/nude eye look but with a tad of colour thrown in (this is me being adventurous lol)

The first thing I do when buying a product is to see how it swatches, obviously a product is not going to look the same when applied on your eyelids as it does when you swatch it. But it gives you a good idea as to how the product feels and how pigmented it is. One small swipe of this and the colour is so rich and vibrant! I'd say that these eye shadows would rival even the big name brands like MAC. I only own two MAC eyeshadows but when comparing the quality of those with these, Wet 'n' Wild gets my vote! This is good quality for something you would buy in the drugstore, and one of the cheapest brands too. I don't find these eye shadows to be too chalky either which is something I've encountered with cheaper makeup. I haven't noticed creasing with this trio but I do use a primer and have never experienced that with other brands. I think that these 3 colours also make a change from what I'm used to wearing on my eyes. I'll always go for browns but with this you have the light pink colour. I also like that it's clearly stated where best to put each colour, obviously there's no rule that says you need to put each one in that specific place but it's a nice indication and great for anyone who is just starting out with makeup.

Instead of going for a 6 or 8 palette I went for the trio to test out in case I didn't like the product, I'm starting to wish I'd bought more and know that when I get the chance will definitely be getting more!

If you have the chance of checking this brand out, I would definitely recommend their products. This product sells at Walgreens and CVS for $2.99

    1. The only place I can think of would be ebay, it's a really cheap brand so I doubt there'd be any fakes on there. I don't buy makeup from ebay anymore unless I know 100% it's real but I'd buy wet 'n' wild as it's not a highly sought after brand like mac or benefit :)

    1. It sucks that there's so much that we don't get over here, that's why I thought it'd be a nice idea to do a giveaway with these products to give other people over here a chance to try them :)
