Hey everyone! Its Rachel:) I have decided to start a blog series called, obviously, Fantastic Friday. I may be reviewing one product, or I may be reviewing ten, either way, there will almost always be a blog post up every Friday. Today I am going to be reviewing one of the three Wet n Wild Color Icon palettes I have. I believe that there are four in the collection, and I hope to get that one too, but for now I am reviewing these. The unique aspect about these is that there are six colors, three matte and three shimmer. Very rarely do I see drugstore palettes with matte shades, not to say that they're not out there, but I don't see them often.
Up first is Pride. This palette has, in my opinion, the most summery colors of the three I have. Pride is composed of sea greens. navy blues, and whites.
As you can see the left side are the matte colors and the right side are the shimmery colors. In this palette the colors next to each other are basically the same shade, but they just have different finishes. Here are the swatches:
When I first got this palette home and swatched it, I was speechless! These colors are soo pigmented. The mattes are beautiful, and I tend to wear them more purely because I love mattes, but these shimmery colors are wonderful as well. The shimmers have almost a metallic feel to them as well as intense shimmer. The mattes are very smooth and not at all chalky. My favorite color in the palette is the matte white because I reach for it all the time when I need a highlight color. My least favorite color in this palette is the shimmery white. The shimmer is very chunky in that color and the color just does not stand out.
Overall I would recommend this palette to others, and feel that it is a great value.
This palette retails for about $4 at drug/discount stores.
