Wet’n’Wild Color Icon Palette in Going in the Wild – Glam Radar

by Jane · March 10, 2015

The Wet’n’Wild Color Icon Palette in Going in the Wild is one of the limited edition palettes of the Wet’n’Wild Spring Forward 2013 collection. I usually miss these limited edition collections but this time  I had first dibs at my local Duane Reade in NYC. A giveaway of these will come in a few days but for now, here are the swatches(Nude Awakening swatches here).

These didn’t feel like typical Wet’n’Wild Color Icon eyeshadows. For the most part, they had zero fall out aside from the peppermint patty shade (right eyelid). These shadows felt a lot thinner and slippery (I’m not sure how else to describe it) compared to the denser, more powdery texture of the regular ColorIcon shadows. I don’t know if this is a good or bad thing but these definitely were less pigmented than the regular palettes especially the lilac (left definer).

Here are the 8 shades, 2 swipes each. First 4 are the left side; second 4 are the right side. wetnwild-color-icon-spring-forward-2013-going-in-the-wild-swatch-500x236-1

I didn’t anticipate liking the color selection of this palette as much as I actually do. The taupe brown on the right side is just killing me with its beauty right now and I feel like it has a higher end dupe somewhere (just gotta find it in my stash!). Which palette do you like better? Have you tried them yet?
