Lately my
little eyes have been attracted to very many shiny objects... Not that it’s
anything new in my life BUT it is a relatively new thing when it comes to my makeup.
So when I waltzed into my local drug
store (Clicks – to be precise) and I found myself standing at the Wet ‘n Wild stand I
found a set of very affordable single glitter
‘eyeshadows’ so to speak. Here’s my first impression on the Wet ‘n Wild,
colour icon glitter eyesahdows.

| Spiked |
Well for
starters, there are a total of seven single eyeshadow pots. Namely: Brass
(Gold); Spiked (Silver); Binge (Purple); Bleached (Multi hued); Groupie (Pink);
Distortion (Blue); Vices (Red). I purchased four of the seven, ‘Brass’,
‘Spiked’, ‘Binge’, ‘Bleached’. To me they seemed like the most versatile of the
lot and they are shades that I would be able to use for my clients and let’s be
honest at a price range of between R30-R40 a pop it was hard to say no SO they
all came home with me.

The first time
I tried the product out I used it on my sister for a night out; I used a
substantial amount with high hopes that this product wasn’t going to be a flop.
Unfortunately by the end of the night her eye makeup had creased quite badly
and my heart sank a little. These products are infused with aloe and coconut
oil so, they have a very creamy texture almost like Vaseline so it’s no wonder
the product doesn’t really ‘set’ on your eyes. The pigment of some the glitter
is not that great as you will see in the swatch photograph that I took...

| Bleached |
However, I
thought I’d give these another shot because I really didn’t want to dismiss
them after only having used them once. I made a point to use ‘Bleached’ &
‘Brass’ on two clients, using a much smaller amount and steering clear from the
crease of their eyes. It really didn’t turn out badly, I did use setting spray
after applying the glitter and that seemed to make it hold a little more which
was nice.

All in all,
these products aren’t my absolute favorite and I’m not so sure that I would
purchase them again but, I won’t be discarding the four that I bought. I will
continue to use them in the hopes that they will better with time. Have you
purchased these before? I’d love to know your opinions on these products
