Wet n’ Wild is a brand I’ve pop up on multiple blogs and vlogs, usually when a Brit blogger has raided CVS in the States for a bargain. I actually stumbled upon these in the beauty section of the Duane Reade by my hotel and picked a palette up on a whim, but boy oh boy am I glad I did!

Wet n’ Wild preach high quality at low cost and the only brand I can think of likening them to here in the UK would be something like Rimmel or maybe Boots’ No7 range.

The palette I picked up is part of their 5 pan eyeshadow collection, which conveniently gives you an almost step by step process of where each shade should sit for a full look. I went for a pretty standard palette of nudes and browns called ‘The Naked Truth’, but it would be very easy to mix and match these shades with the others in the range and comes in at around $3-4 (depending on where you pick it up). 

For me this palette hits all the right notes. The texture is buttery soft, it blends remarkably well, and the pigmentation is fantastic. I seriously haven’t come a palette like it at such a low price in a very long time. The downside is it isn’t stocked in the UK – for all you American lovelies can luckily grab them in most drugstores! – though a quick Google comes up with some official eBay sellers, some bits and pieces on Amazon or smaller online stockists that ship Internationally. 

Fingers crossed they get a bit more popular so Superdrug or Boots can start bringing them over the Pond!

Or….you can enter my current giveaway and win a similar mini palette all for yourself! :P Better be quick though, the giveaway ends 30th July! 

I feel like everyone and their mother has done a review on this product, but what the hey! I’ve been eyeing (har de har) up these adorable little palettes for a while and, thanks Boots ‘3 for 2’ deals, I couldn’t resist snapping them up whilst I was browsing the other day.

Revlon’s Shadowlinks are tiny eyeshadows which you can snap together to create your own personal and customisable palettes. As a bit of a eyeshadow addict, this premise is perfect, as you can pick and choose which colours you’re more likely to use. They’re also tiny, so they’re great travel companions and won’t take up a huge amount of room in your handbag for overnight stays.

Though packaging-wise it’s impressive, sleek and kinda innovative, it does lack in pigmentation. The lighter shades I picked out in particular offer a sheer coverage at best, with the darker brown only slightly better. At £2.99 each, they’re only a few pennies cheaper than better pigmented eyeshadow quads from the likes of MUA and Rimmel too. Despite this, if you like the novelty and customisable aspect of these, go for it, but if you’re after colour pay-off you may want to save your money for a full palette.
