Product Rave: Wet 'n' Wild Comfort Zone Eyeshadow Palette

Before you start tipping your nose in the air when I mention the words "Wet 'n' Wild," hear me out. There is a Meg-worthy 8-eyeshadow palette available for FIVE DOLLARS. Do you hear me?!?! FIVE DOLLARS!

It's called the Wet 'n' Wild Comfort Zone Eyeshadow Palette. It's available at drugstores and I got mine at Ulta.

This first sparked my interest after Mandy had created some fantastic looks with this palette. By the way, y'all need to read her blog. She does some fantastic work and is so great about mixing high end with low end products with absolutely gorgeous results.

I had to get this palette. If she could wear Chanel and use this, I could add this to my collection.


Wet 'n' Wild Comfort Zone Palette

First Thoughts on the Product:
- The packaging isn't the greatest, and I'll never use the brush that came with it.
- I like how the shadows are imprinted with what part of the eye they should go on, although I could have figured that out for myself. For eyeshadow newbies, this could be very useful.
- I hope this doesn't break into a million pieces if/when I drop it.

Using the Product:
- The shadows themselves are very soft and buttery
- The shadows apply very easily with my MAC eyeshadow brushes
- The bottom right "Definer" shade is an exact dupe of MAC's Club. I kid you not.

Thoughts After Using the Product:
- Applied over my Too Faced Shadow Insurance, the staying power of these shadows lasted me all day. I haven't tried them without a primer, but I would think it is necessary
- I haven't experienced any fallout from the shadows, I just hope their super soft texture doesn't let them crumble in the pan.



WnW Eyeshadows on Me:
In case you were wondering, I'm also wearing:
- Dr. Jart BB Cream as foundation
- MAC Studio Finish Concealer
- Bobbi Brown Corrector in Light Peach
- Anastasia Perfect Brow Pencil
- Benefit High Beam (highlight)
- Nars Laguna (bronze/contour)
- Nars Orgasm (blush)
- Make Up For Ever AquaEyes liner
- Bobbi Brown Extreme Party Mascara
- Make Up For Ever HD setting powder
- MAC Lipglass in Mimmy


Bottom Line: You can't beat the price and quality of this product!

Have y'all come across some worthy beauty steals lately? Do share!

After seeing a billion reviews for this palette on YouTube I picked one up, and I was so disappointed in the quality of the shadows.

Makes me feel like a freak, because everyone loves these and I hated it!

For me, it is hard to compare to MUFE, MAC and UD shadows.

My favorite cheap-o product is some of the NYX blushes. I swear they stay put longer then most high end!

Katie said...

I've never tried WNW, but everyone seems to love them. My fave budget-friendly brands are NYX and elf. I'll see if I can find this-- the WNW palettes always sell out super fast at my CVS.

Shelley said...

There's nothing wrong with cheapy makeup!

Savanah said...

Thanks for the tip! I'm gonna pick these up!

Amber said...

Girl, I think you could pull anything off!

Vicki said...

Oh my! I love these colors! I think they will compliment my Naked Palette wonderfully (I've been missing a pink & green tone) this should do the trick! AND for $5 how do you go wrong?!

Michelle said...

Those colors are very very pretty!!! Guess I'll have to drag my behind to target to get me one of these!!!

The color you are modeling is beautiful!!! Helps that you are such a beautiful model, too!!!!

Alex said...

I like!! And for serious shadow newbies like myself, the words are very helpful ":)

star said...

Wow looks like a great product for 5 bucks! Im gonna have to get one!

Casey said...

Wet n' Wild?!?! Who woulda thunk it! Great tip!

Gave you an award on my blog!

Stephanie in Suburbia said...

Oooh I have seen these and wondered if they were good. I used Wet n Wild eyeliner once and it was soo smeary, so I've been dubious.

Alex said...

Update: Bought this today because I really want to expand my horizons in eyeshadows. I own like three eyshadow brushes and am not sure which ones I should use with which shades...Also I'm confused as to waht a definer is. Would that be like as an eyeliner? I am obviously makeup challenged.
