Wet n Wild Comfort Zone ColorIcon Eyeshadow Palette Review and Swatches


Wet n Wild Comfort Zone ColorIcon Eyeshadow Palette

Wet n Wild Comfort Zone ColorIcon Eyeshadow Palette ($4.99, 8 x 0.0375 oz., Drugstore.com) is an 8-pan eyeshadow palette featuring 4 neutral shades and 4 green-tone shades. The palette is a cheap square plastic case with a clear lid to easily view the shades; there is no mirror.

Wet n Wild shades are unnamed, so I'll just describe each shade by its color--

Beige is a warm yellowed creamy beige with a frost finish. It has a soft, smooth, dense texture and great pigmentation. I think it's a bit too reflective as a brow bone highlight, so I like to pair it with a matte beige to tone down the frost.

Copper is a warm pinky copper with a metallic-frost finish. It is incredibly soft, smooth, and dense in texture with excellent pigmentation. It's a rather complex shade for a drugstore eyeshadow!

Brown is a warm medium bronze-brown with a satin finish. It has a soft, smooth, dense texture with great pigmentation. Paired with the copper, it makes for a fantastic natural smokey eye!

Burgundy is a warm blackened reddish burgundy brown with gold shimmer and a satin finish. It has a dry, hard, thin texture with low pigmentation. It comes across more black in application. Wet n Wild has similar shades like this in other palettes--all of which are particularly poor.

Wet n Wild I ♥ Matte ColorIcon Eyeshadow Palette Review and Swatches


Wet n Wild I ♥ Matte ColorIcon Eyeshadow Palette

Wet n Wild I ♥ Matte ColorIcon Eyeshadow Palette ($4.99, 8 x 0.0375, Walgreens) is a limited edition 8-pan eyeshadow palette with 4 neutral-tone and 4 multi-chromatic shadows--all with matte finishes. The palette is a cheap square plastic case with a clear lid to easily view the shades; there is no mirror. This particular palette is a Walgreens-exclusive palette and can be found in a large display attached to an aisle (along with the 6-pan baked palettes).

Wet n Wild shades are unnamed, so I'll just describe each shade by its color--

White is a neutral run-of-the-mill matte white. It has a soft, smooth, and thin texture with medium, build-able pigmentation. Something about this shade gives it a dull appearance.

Green is a muted cool medium green with a matte finish. It has a soft, smooth, dense texture with good pigmentation.

Blue is a neutral slightly warm medium blue with a matte finish and slight sheen. It has a soft, smooth, dense texture with great pigmentation.

Purple is a neutral-cool purple with superfine silver glitter and overall matte finish. It has a dry, stiff texture with medium pigmentation which makes it difficult to build up or blend.
