Wet n Wild Trio - "Walking on Eggshells"

Hi everyone! This is the trio in "Walking On Eggshells" and it's probably my favorite of the ones I've bought. These regularly retail for $2.99 which is a great deal, but they are frequently on sale at drugstores like Walgreens and Rite Aid for BOGO 50% off or even 50%! Getting this for $1.50 just sweetens the deal on an already awesome eyeshadow trio.

Like all of the recent Wet n Wild eyeshadows, these trios have pigmented and smooth shadows which are also soft and easily blended. They also last all day with no creasing if a primer is worn underneath. (I always wear a primer with my eyeshadows so I can't tell you if it fades or creases without one.)
 The lid shade is a light shimmery peachy-pink, the crease is a dark shimmery brown with gold tones, and the browbone shade is a shimmery cream shade. As you can tell from the swatches these are pretty pigmented, and the shades are great for an everyday neutral eye.

These palettes are great for travel and they come with two little brushes: a fluffy angled brush and a sponge tip applicator. Neither of these get any use, but it's something nice to have just in case.

My only complaint is that the shades are ALL shimmery. It would have been nice if the crease shade was at least a matte or satin finish.

This is a great trio to have if you're just starting out with makeup, or are looking for new shades to add to your collection. I'm sort of a neutral nut so I like to collect neutral palettes. At $2.99 these will definitely not break the bank, and you're able to get them on sale it's an even better deal!
If any of you are interested, the lid and crease shade from this trio are also featured in the new "Comfort Zone" 8 pan palette which was newly released by Wet n Wild and is slowly trickling their way into Walgreens and Walmart stores. The only shade that doesn't have an exact duplicate is the browbone shade, but even the brow shade in "Comfort Zone" is a close enough match that you may be able to justify having just one or the other and not both. The "Comfort Zone" palette retails for $4.99.

Hope you found this helpful!

  1. It's good to know about the dupes. I think I have so many colors that look similar, especially the neutral colors. Wet N Wild eyeshadows are amazing!
