Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Single in Brulee Review

The Wet n Wild Brulee eyeshadow is actually one I've had for a long time now and for so far use almost every time I do my makeup. Brulee is matte and only 99 cents, which is super cheap for nice single eyeshadows. They also come in 6 other colors, including a matte brown and a matte black.
It's actually a shade lighter than it looks in the picture above and, for light skin tones, a nice transition shade. This eyeshadow is very pigmented and smooth, as well as being very easy to blend out. As you can see in the swatches above, it's a pretty light shade. I've heard about this being a dupe for Mac's Brule, but I don't have that shadow to compare it to, but looking at swatches online they look very similar. I'd say give these and the other Color Icon eyeshadows a go.

Wet n Wild Color Icon Contouring Palette in Dulce De Leche Review

These are $3.93 and only available at Walmart. It comes in two shades, Dulce De Leche, which is slightly lighter and warmer, and Caramel Toffee, which is more pink toned and darker. Both of these are matte. They're pretty big, measuring about 4x4 inches and containing 0.46oz (13g) of product.

The formula is smooth and easy to blend out, but make sure to tap some of the excess off or be careful when applying this so that the powder doesn't go everywhere. Overall, I really like this as a good simple drugstore contour palette.

Wet n Wild Color Icon Bronzer SPF 15 in Reserve Your Cabana Review

After looking around online for recommendations on drugstore highlighters, I decided to get the Wet n Wild Color Icon Bronzer in Reserve Your Cabana. For only $3.99, I figured I'd give it a go considering Wet n Wild rarely ever disappoints me. It also comes in two more colors, Ticket to Brazil, more of a medium brown shade, and Bikini Contest, a slightly more reddish brown. This bronzer, for most skin tones, will work much more like a highlight than as a bronzer unless you have very, very pale skin.

It has a very slight shimmer to it and has an SPF of 15. The formula is super smooth and buttery and is easy to blend out. It is also very pigmented, and since it comes in such a big compact, will last you a really long time. If you're looking for a nice cheap drugstore highlight and bronzers, definitely check these out.

Wet n Wild MegaSlicks Balm Stain Review and Swatches

The MegaSlicks Balm Stains are crayon lip balm stains enriched with acai and palm oil, as stated on their website. According to the site, they're supposed to glide on smoothly while conditioning your lips and form a protective shield to prevent feathering. I picked up four shades, Nudist Colony, Caffeine Fix, Rio Mauve, and Truffle in Paradise.
Looking at these, they seem very similar to many other balm stains, mainly the Revlon Color Stay Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains. These are $2.99, much cheaper than most other balm stains, and come in more brown nude shades than the Revlon ones. If you're looking for a much less expensive option, these are around $6 cheaper, depending on where you buy them.

These glide on very smoothly and hydrate your lips as well as any regular lip balms. They start off a tiny bit glossy and after around an hour, dry to a matte finish. The lighter shades left a nice slight tint and the darker shades left a more noticeable stain. There is no need to use a lip balm beforehand and they didn't feel drying at all.

Nudist Colony seems similar to the Revlon one in Charm and Truffle in Paradise could be a dupe for Adore. Unfortunately, I don't have the two Revlon shades, but comparing pictures of them side by side, they look very close.
Charm, Nudist Colony, Adore, and Truffle in Paradise.
I was very impressed by these, especially considering how cheap they are and being available in 12 shades. I'll probably be picking up a few others later since I like these so much.
