Wet N Wild Walking On Eggshells Review

I feel like I may have done a review on this before, but since using about a year ago I basically haven't gone back to it. Until recently that is. The last few times I've properly done my face up - so like the works, face, eyes brow: everything - I've used this brilliant little palette.
My absolute favourite part of this little palette is the brow bone colour. It is the absolute most perfect brow highlight colour. I don't think words could describe my love for this colour - I will be devastated when this colour runs out - might need to call in a favour with a State side friend. The other two colours I do find a little bit shimmery for my liking - but they are still beautiful colours. The crease shade is a really lovely bronze brown, personally I'd rather have a matte colour for my crease, and this colour would be 1000x nicer if it were matte. But even still it is a beautiful colour. The lid colour is super pretty but again I find it really really shimmery. Its a lovely champaney pink colour, I'm thinking now this might be a good colour for the inner corner area of le eyes. Non?
I'm really hoping that these come over the Britain soon, I know for a fact they would be super popular over here. We all love the American stuff after alls.

What do you think of these palettes?

Wet n Wild Color Icon Eye-shadow Trio | Walking On Eggshells


For the longest time I've lusted after the Wet n Wild eye-shadow palettes - be they the trios or the ones with 6 shadows. In the UK we can't get them very easily, the only choice we have is ordering online and paying the crazy shipping fees or visiting the states. I was thrilled during my blog swap with Zoe from The Caribbean Flower when I saw that she had sent me a few Wet n Wild products. One being the shadow trio.
If I'm being totally honest, I didn't really know what the colour options were, but Zoe picked me up the a lovely little neural set. On the back of the compact there is a little step by step guide, showing you the places to apply the shadows to.

 Walking on Eggshells is they type of colours I wear, browns and other neutral colours -when I can be bothered that is. The shadows are contained in a long, skinny compact, which also holds two little applicators - a tiny little brush and a sponge applicator.


Each of the eye-shadows has the word of where to apply them embossed into them - brow bone, crease and eyelid. For an eye-shadow novice like me this is a huge help, as other wise I'd probably just apply the shadow all over my lid.

Brow bone is a very pale, almost gold colour. The brown bone colour is just a tiny shade darker than my skin tone so it is just barely noticeable.  


The crease colour, is a beautiful brown colour that also has gold running through it. It looks a tiny bit shimmery, the colour is lovely and is slightly unusual. 


Eyelid is a gorgeous peachy/pink champagne colour. 

The picture really doesn't do the colours justice
When I swatched these shadows I was really pleased - and a little surprised - as to how pigmented they were. I did find they were quite powdery and some of the product had "fallen" out the pan, slight problem as it landed on my carpet. They are quite long lasting though, and I think with out a primer I could possibly get a good 6 hours wear out of them. With a primer I don't think they would come off until I washed them away. 

If your able to get your hands on this definitely pick it up, your lucky if you can!
