Today's review will be on Wet and Wild's Color Icon Eye Shadow Trio in Walking on Eggshells (308B)For those who are not familiar with the brand, Wet and Wild is a U.S drugstore brand commonly known for their inexpensive high quality products.

List of ingredients.


These trio palettes come with 2 applicators
A small brush and a single sided sponge tip
(quality of the applicators are not the best)

This shadow trio is quite impressive! The colors are pigmented, very silky and soft, and extremely easy to blend and use! For $2.99, these shadow qualities are unbeatable for the price! They are pretty comparable high end products! (Of course color and texture wise, high end products probably have better ingredients; but HEY at this price, it's not so shabby) 

These shadows, however, do have tiny shimmers blended into the shadows. The shimmers are not extremely noticeable unless you pay close attention to them. The 3 shades all have a stain finish to them. The textures of these shadows are oh-so-soft! They are creamy and wonderful to work with! 

The brow bone, crease, and eyelid shadows all have the same creamy consistency, not chalky at all. However, depending on how you apply these shadows, there might be a little bit of fall outs. Just tap off the excess powders and you're good to go!  

CONS:
   - Might be hard to get for others outside of U.S
   - Applicators are okay
   - No mirror 
   - Packaging is okay 

PROS:
  - Great quality shadows for a low price
   - Very beautiful neutral colors
   - Soft, silky, and easy to blend (can be applied with fingers and still look gorgeous!)



SCORE:  4.5 out of 5

FINAL VERDICT
The shadows are awesome! The only let down is the packaging. There is no mirror and the plastic isn't the best. I wish the packaging and the applicators were better. But for $2.99 what more can I ask for? Other than that, I am very happy about this product! One more thing before I forget! Because these shadows are so soft and creamy, they can break very easily! So don't drop them.

COUPON/ SALES
Attention all U.S shoppers that are interested in this product!
