THE TRUE ICONS OF COLOUR WET N WILD EYESHADOW TRIO'S PART 1

Hi everyone,
 
So this will be part 1 of 2 of my Wet N Wild ColorIcon trio's review. I have been on the hunt for these eyeshadows for a long time, I finally have not 1 but 7 different trio's to share over the course of two parts. I will be showing you the bolder colored ones and the second part will be the more neutral everyday wearable shadows.

 
The first trio is called COOL AS A CUCUMBER- This trio features a satin pistachio green, a beautiful plum purple and a gorgeous metallic forest green. I feel that this trio exudes the feeling of fall in all it's rich colour and splendor.
 
 

 
 
The next trio is called ON CLOUD NINE This trio reminds me of denim and brown leather personally. None the less it's colours are so sexy. The light frosted blue makes me think Levi's denim shirt, the deep brown like cowboy boots and cigars and the true blue at the bottom like that favourite pair of blue jeans will add a high impact look to those peepers. Also brown and blue are so complimentary to each other I think this trio is a perfect match.
 

 
 
Then we have I DREAM OF GREENIE this is a really bold bright trio of greens that I wish I had around for summer. It makes me think honey dew melon and Margarita's. The top colour is a shimmery mint note, followed by an intense sea foam green and ends with a bright pop of Kiwi green. If your not a fan of green or screaming for attention type colours, then this is not for you. However maybe it's time to step out of your comfort zone and try something new.
 

 
Lastly is I'M GETTING SUNBURNED This trio starts with a delectable true shimmery pink, enhanced with a smoking fine glitter coffee brown and ends with an all out gold miners dream. All these colours work seamlessly together and will make for a super sassy statement on the eyes.   DARE TO BE DIFFERENT.
 

 
If you love playing with colour then I highly recommend Wet N Wild ColorIcon trio's & Palettes. I feel Wet N Wild's eyeshadow's are extremely pigmented, long wearing, blendable, but not to soft. They have little to no fall out depending on the colour and I feel are the very best shadows to buy at drug store or big box store level. Its a great option for those looking for budget friendly cosmetics, with a great range of colours for all taste preferences. 
 
 
The trio's are 3.5g for only $2.80 CAD
the larger 8 colour palettes are 8.5g for $4.97 CAD available in 3 different colour choices
 
HOPE YOU FOUND A TRIO HERE TODAY THAT YOU LOVE AND WANT TO TRY. LET ME KNOW DOWN IN THE COMMENTS IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THE TRIO'S AND IF YOU LOVE THEM AS WELL OR SEE ONE YOU WANT TO TRY IN THIS REVIEW.

NYC HD TRIO EYESHADOWS

Hi everyone,

              I have to admit that as of late I find myself not drawn to many products I am seeing at the drug store and big box store level there hasn't been a whole lot of new items at least not near where I live.

However at my last visit to Walmart I noticed three hd color trio eye shadow's by NYC. I thought the colours would be nice for fall and it said new on the signage so I thought I would give them a go.


The first trio is called 790 CONCRETE JUNGLE the highlighter shade is a pearlescent white followed up with a deep rich saturated navy blue for all over the lid and the crease colour is a shimmery silver that blends well with the blue.



 
I find that once applied to the skin the silver takes on some what of a taupe feel especially once blended with the blue. All though the blue looks very shimmery in the pan it actually seems more matte once applied to the eye and blended out.
 
Next up is 789 WEST VINTAGE which is a combination of a light minty green for highlighting, a jewel toned grape/plum purple and a beautiful intense emerald green.
 



 
These are really beautiful colours that totally get me in the mood for fall and the colour payoff for all the trio's are pretty impressive for how inexpensive they are. I highly recommend them especially for those on a budget.
 
Last trio is URBAN SPICE this is my favorite of the three trio's because I can see myself using this regularly because they are colours suitable for any occasion. The highlight is a creamy champagne light beige followed with a another rich green that I feel is a true forest green. The last shade is a gorgeous peachy rose gold that could also be used as a blush. The colours work seamlessly together to create a stunning warm look on the eyes.
 



 
I do enjoy these eyeshadow's as with many others I own. I look forward to seeing what else NYC comes out with in the near future. Again for the price of $3.27 each you can't go wrong. The colours are rich and pigmented with little fall out and you get .15oz/4.5g which is excellent.
My only concern is that this product is made in China and I have issues with the standard in which China manufactures their products, so it makes me slightly uneasy as to how these eyeshadows can be so inexpensive and what steps are being skipped in order to make them that low price.
 
If you like any of the colours you have seen here today check out a local store near you such as Walmart and now NYC is being carried at SHOPPERS DRUG MART as well.
 
Thanks everyone for reading
