EOTD & Swatches: Wet'n'Wild Comfort Zone

Just another quick EOTD with a Wet'n'Wild palette! This time it's the neutral toned 8-pan palette called Comfort Zone. Of all the Wet'n'Wild palettes I own I think this is the one everyone should have. The greens give you the option of jazzing up your neutral eye looks and the neutral colours are all beautiful and go brilliantly together. In the above picture I'm wearing the browbone shade on my browbone and as an inner corner highlight, the lid shade on my lid and the crease shade in my crease. Totally going by the book on this one! It looks so natural on my medium-olive skin so if you've got a similar skin tone to me I definitely recommend you pick this up!

On to the swatches...

Do you own this? What are your thoughts?

EOTD & Swatches: Wet'n'Wild Blue Had Me At Hello

Blue Had Me At Hello

I was going to do swatches and review type posts for my Wet'n'Wild palettes because I have almost all the permanent palettes now and some of the limited edition ones...addicted to Wet'n'Wild, much?! But then I realised that I actually have to use each palette before reviewing it so I'm just going to post the looks I create along with swatches from the palettes as and when I use each palette.

I am not normally adventurous with my eye make up at all but I was really drawn to the aqua shade in this palette (right side eyelid shade). I used that shade on top of E.L.F. Eye Lid Primer and applied it with an E.L.F. Eyeshadow Brush. I then took the darker blue crease shade and applied it to my crease with a Revlon Eyeshadow brush (it's fluffier). I grabbed a Crown Brush Blending brush and a little of the browbone shade to  blend out the darker shade. I used Eyeko Big Eyes mascara.  Now, I don't think it looks amazing, I'm not the best at eyeshadow but I'm amazed that I'm wearing blue eyeshadow and it doesn't look terrible! On the rest of my face I wore MAC Viva Glam Gaga II with Barry M Toffee on top. I didn't put on any blush but highlighted with MAC Soft & Gentle MSF.

As for the shadows themselves, most were awesomely pigmented. A few of the darker matte shades could have been more pigmented but then they are matte and I always find matte shadows to be less pigmented anyway. The shades I used were easy to apply and blend so I really can't complain.

Overall I don't think I'll use this palette a lot on it's own but I can see myself picking out some of the shades to mix with my more neutral shadows. I might try a navy/bronze smokey eye next so watch this space!

What do you think?
