Wet 'n' Wild Walking On Eggshells Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio Review + Swatches!

Today I am reviewing an eyeshadow trio by Wet 'n' Wild! My friend got it from me from Hawaii and I was so excited because I heard so much about it. 





 I know that Wet 'n' Wild is an inexpensive brand and I believe that this trio retails for around $3. I believe that this is available at any drugstores and Ulta. 

There are three colors and this is probably one of the neutral ones that they have. Color labeled 'Brow bone is a light shimmery white color', 'crease' is a golden brown' and 'eyelid' is a light pink color. The colors are very complimentary to each other and I really like that they labelled the colors to where they recommend to put it on. Although you don't HAVE to follow it it's still nice if you're a beginner. 

The pigmentation is AMAZING! It's so smooth and buttery, it's the smoothest and butteriest (is that even a word?) eyeshadow I have in my collection. I found that the lightest color labelled 'brow bone' is the most smoothest and most pigmented. All of the shadows don't have any fall out and the eyeshadows last a long time on my eyes. 

Overall I am so incredibly happy with this and I recommend is to everyone! It's also so inexpensive and just amazing! I would really like to try the other shades but unfortunately we don't have Wet 'n' Wild here in Japan :(

Anyway, onto the pictures and swatches!

Clinique Color Surge Eyeshadow Quad Review + Swatch

Today's featured product is the Clinique Color Surge Eyeshadow Quad. I thought that Clinique was more known for skin care products but I decided to try their actual makeup. To be honest I have no idea what the name of the quad is but it's a quad with 4 neutral eyeshadows. 



First of all, the packaging is nice, it's simple and clean looking which I like a lot. 


The selections of the eyeshadows are great. I like that there is an eyeshadow for just a simple eye look that everyone can do and pull off. A highlight, lid color, crease color and the outer corner color.


Eyeshadow description from left to right


1. A light creamy matte color.

2. Shimmery champagne color.


3. Deep charcoal brown with little bit of shimmer


4. Light taupe with a little bit of shimmer 


The texture of the eyeshadows are very smooth and velvety. They're not chalky or stiff which are key qualities in an eyeshadow. 
They are all equally pigmented except for the lightest matte shade on the left. It's a little bit more sheer but since it's a very light color I can see why. (the swatch made is a few swipes on the finger)


All in all, I think it's a very good quad that you can use on a day to day basis because they have very pretty but simple colors that it's appropriate for an everyday wear.

Urban Decay Naked Palette





    This palette contains 12 full size eyeshadows from Urban Decay. 7 shades from the permanent collections and 5 that are limited edition exclusive to this palette. It is $44 but I think it is a great value because it comes with FULL SIZED eyeshadows.
       This packaging is velvet brown and it has a magnetized closure. It's very sleek and sophisticated which I really enjoy. It is also thin enough so that you can take when you're traveling. This palette comes with an eyeshadow brush and a mini size of the original Urban Decay Primer Potion. This was the first product that I ever tried from Urban Decay so this may be a little biased but the pigmentation of the eyeshadows are excellent. The texture and the finishes are all very great. It comes with 10 shimmery eyeshadows (Sidecar having a little of glitter) and 2 matte eyeshadows (Buck and Naked). It has a nice variety of color, light colors for everyday wear and darker colors for more of a dramatic eye makeup.

       The rundown of the shadows are as follows:

Virgin : Shimmery cream beige with pink iridescence. (shimmery) (New Shade)
Sin: Shimmery champagne with a touch of pink. (shimmery/frosty) (Permanent)
Naked: Matte medium beige brown. (Matte) (New Shade)
Sidecar: Medium bronzy brown the a little bit of red undertone. (Shimmer/glitter) (New Shade)
Buck: Darkened chocolate brown. (Matte) (New Shade)
Half Baked: True gold color. (Shimmery) (Permanent)
Smog: Medium to dark bronze. (Shimmery) (Permanent)
Darkhorse: Darkened gray brown (Shimmery) (New Shade)
Toasted: Medium rusty pinky brown. (Shimmery) (Permanent)
Hustle: Dark plummy brown. (Shimmery) (Permanent)
Creep: Dark black/gray with specks of shimmer (shimmery) (New shade)
Gunmetal: darkened blue based silver. (Shimmery) (Permanent)

    All in all I don't have anything bad to say about this palette. The color selection,  packaging, the pigmentation is all amazing. I honestly use this every time I wear eyeshadow and if you have this, you'll be good to go because you almost have everything you need.

       This palette is available at Sephora, Ulta and the Urban Decay website :)  www.urbandecay.com



 アーバンディケイからリリースされている12フルサイズのアイシャドウ・パレットは限定商品です。定番コレクションカラーから7種類、新色の5種類がセットになっています。価格は44ドルとやや高いイメージですが、フルサイズのアイシャドウということで、むしろお買い得だと私は思います。
 磁石で蓋が閉じる茶色のベルベット素材のパッケージは、本当に洗練されていて素敵です。薄くて軽いので、旅行にも持っていくことができます。アイシャドウブラシとミニサイズのアーバンディケイプライマーポーション(アイシャドウを塗る前のベース)が付属しています。このパレットは、私が初めて購入したアーバンディケイの商品でした。アイシャドウの色素沈着が優れていて、質感や仕上げ、すべてにおいて素晴らしいと妙に感動しました。シャイニーアイシャドウは10種類(Sidecarはグリッター系)。マットカラーは2種類(Buck とNaked)。それぞれ異なるテイストを持つカラーリングが揃っていて、ライトカラーは普段使いに、一方ダークカラーはドラマチックなメイクアップに一役買ってくれます。

 私はこのパレットの色のチョイスやパッケージング、色素沈着などすべてに満足していて、とても気に入っています。正直、これを持っているだけで、ほかのものは必要ないと思えるほど、完璧だと思います。

このパレットは、Sephora、Ulta、アーバンディケイウェブサイトで入手できます。
