Wet n Wild Thrift Store Chic Coloricon Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
The Wet n Wild Thrift Store Chic Coloricon Eyeshadow Palette ($4.99) is one of five, limited edition Wet n Wild Silver Lake Spring 2015 Coloricon Eyeshadow Palettes that recently launched at drugstores.
I have a love hate relationship with Coloricon Eyeshadow Palettes. The first round were amazing and to this day I cherish them but there have been many variations since that time and they can prove hit or miss but none the less I continue hauling them because when you do get a hit, well, it’s a cheap kinda thrill that makes your makeup day!
The Wet n Wild Thrift Store Chic Coloricon Eyeshadow Palette is one of those cheap thrills!
The Wet n Wild Thrift Store Chic Coloricon Eyeshadow Palette is a pretty selection of lovely pinks (with a little cream and even purple thrown in) in a range of both matte, shimmer, and satin shades. Regular than the black compact that’s traditional for the Coloricon Palettes you’ll be getting this in a white one which gives it a little bit of a fresher, Spring appearance. It also includes two applicators for application one of which is a brush and the other an eyeshadow sponge. I always feel like the sponges are too small for use and the brushes shed and really don’t pick up color well so I typically toss them.
One thing you’ll notice that’s new about this particularly palette is the shimmer shades. Both of these shades are a little thinner in consistency with an almost Bobbi Brown-like Sparkle Shadow texture that’s a bit dense but slightly creamy as well. They don’t pick up easily with a brush so I find a sponge eyeshadow applicator best for use. You can pat them gently onto your lid to add a nice but of sparkle and sheerer color to lids. You get two shades like this. There are also two pink mattes which are soft and silky with quite nice pigmented. Both of these are a little powdery but they blend nicely. There’s also a pretty purple satin which has a soft, velvety texture and finally a creamy beige frost that also has excellent pigment and applies nicely. The shimmer shades have a bit of fall out so I find a cream shadow or primer aids in reducing some of that sparkly fall out.

All in all the shades performed quite well. Nice pigmentation, a smooth, even application, and a beautiful finish! They looked intense even with eyeshadow primer under them and they create a very nice look although some shades can blend together easily without any definition since they are so close in color but it’s nothing you can’t work with!
Although there are some fall out issues here I thought the Wet n Wild Thrift Store Chic Coloricon Eyeshadow Palette was beautifully textured! I can see myself reaching for this shade selection quite often to create pretty Spring looks. As I said above Coloricon Eyeshadow Palettes can be hit or miss but I think the Thrift Store Chic Coloricon Eyeshadow Palette rings true for me!
If you’re on a beauty budget this palette is a nice pick up!
