Wet n Wild Milano Eyeshadow Palette

The 3 new Wet n Wild eyeshadow palettes are hard to find, but if you happen to see them, grab one (or 3!). I have the Milano palette to share with you today. There are two other palettes, a purple and gray palette, and a green toned palette. These will be permanent palettes in the Wet n Wild displays eventually.

At first glance, I thought this might have some dupes for the Urban Decay Naked 1 & 2 palettes. There are some shades that are similar, but I wouldn’t consider this a Naked dupe palette. There is a nice selection of shades in the Wet n Wild Milano palette. The matte shades are quite creamy, and blend beautifully. The shimmer shades are pretty, and while they don’t have the pigment of Urban Decay shadow, they look nice using a flat eyeshadow brush dampened with MAC Fix+.

Make sure you check out Leticia’s tutorials using the Milano and Paris Runway palettes on Cosmetics Aficionado. I absolutely love the looks she created with her palettes!

Wet n Wild So Berry On Trend NOTD

October 14, 2014 by daydreamingbeauty Leave a Comment

Wet n Wild Megalast polish in So Berry On Trend is a satin matte berry shade that is the perfect fall mani color. This collection of “matte” shades from Wet n Wild aren’t what I’d consider true mattes. They have a satiny sheen, even without top coat. The photo above is two coats with no topcoat. It looks quite reflective outside, doesn’t it? The photo below in direct sunlight shows the semi matte finish a bit better.

I really love the formula, which was so smooth and self leveled beautifully. It dried so quickly, and didn’t chip immediately. The polish dries to such a smooth feel, I couldn’t stop running my finger over my nails! I loved the semi matte look. It has almost a waxy finish to it. I have the purple shade but haven’t swatched it yet. There are also cream, taupe, navy and red polishes in addition to the berry and deep purple. I’m still on the hunt for the other polish in this collection, and for the 4 matte lipsticks! Have you tried anything from this Wet n Wild fall collection yet?

wet n wild fall eyeshadow palettes

Wet n Wild has a great fall line up this year! I usually don’t have good luck finding the seasonal LE items from them, so I was excited to find the 5 pan palettes at Walgreens recently! I picked up Melrose at Night, Smoke and Melrose, and Angels in Aubergine. I didn’t swatch the Aubergine because it’s for a friend. I have a feeling she’ll swatch it and you’ll be able to see it on her blog here – Crazy Beautiful Makeup.

Smoke and Melrose is the warmer and more pigmented palette of the two I’ve swatched. As with previous palettes, wet n wild has a shade placement guide imprinted on the eyeshadows. I’m not sure who can pull off the suggested placement (I’d look 50 shades of CRAY), but it’s a nice thought!

Melrose at Night leans more cool/neutral toned. The brown reminds me a little bit of Urban Decay’s Smog, but not so warm. Even though this palette wasn’t quite as pigmented as the other, it was my favorite of the two. I found both palettes to last all day when I used a shadow primer. I tested with MAC Painterly, and Too Faced Shadow Insurance.

There is one other palette in this collection that I didn’t grab, High Wasted Jeans. This has mostly blue and gray tones. I have to track down the matte lipsticks and nail polish from the fall line up. You can find some great swatches on Nouveau Cheap. How gorgeous are they?! Is there anything you’ll be grabbing from this line up?
