Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Quad – Petalette

Today I’m going to review Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Quad in the shade Petalette. I got this on sale when I hauled a lot of products from Wet n Wild and instantly fell in love with the burgundy shade and the price point. Let’s get started and see how this palette fared out for me and do I recommend it?

Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Quad- Petalette

Price: ₹299 for 4.5g

Available on Nykaa, HOK Makeup and Flipkart.

I got it from HOK Makeup during a sale for ₹220-230.

About the brand

Wet n Wild is a Los Angeles based company bringing to you a stunning range of cosmetics with high-performance formulations all available at unbeatable prices. The brand is Peta-certified cruelty-free.

MY THOUGHTS

It comes in 6 different shades and I got the one named ‘Petalette’. I’ve been wanting to get a pink-based eyeshadow palette but didn’t want to invest much as I rarely wear eyeshadows. So this one from Wet n Wild seemed to be the perfect option.

Packaging

It comes in a small plastic palette that has a transparent lid. The packaging isn’t very sturdy but it’s something you can make do with. It doesn’t come with an applicator or mirror but for 299, I don’t expect much.

At the back, they have specified the steps to create an eye look with the palette which is pretty helpful for beginners.

Shades, Texture & Smell

There are 4 eyeshadows in the palette, as the name (quad) suggests- Transition, Crease, Eyelid and Browbone – all the shadows are embossed with their name which makes it easier to identify.

It has 3 shimmer shadows- Eyelid (Light Pink), Crease (Burgundy) and Browbone (Iridescent White) and 1 matte shadow- Transition (Neutral-Mauve).

Most of the shades are powdery, not buttery which causes product fallout and requires some serious blending.

It doesn’t have any weird or sweet smell to it.

How does it work?

I had to swatch multiple times and literally press my fingers for the colours to show up in the swatches. When I tried swatching it with a brush, hardly anything showed up. I used these with Wet n Wild eye brushes only.

Let’s talk about each shadow and how they perform.

Transition: This is a very sheer neutral-mauve shade, especially for us brown girls and doesn’t show up much on the lids. God forbid if you have dark circles like me! Priming the lids and providing an even-toned canvas is a must for this shade.

Decent transition shade if you have lighter skin.

Crease: It’s a gorgeous burgundy shade with light shimmer and the reason I bought this palette. There’s quite some fallout with this one so it takes effort while blending. The pigmentation of this is the best in the palette.

Gives depth when used on the crease and outer corner and can be used to line the eyes.

Browbone: This is a bright shimmery iridescent white shade with a purple sheen to it and can be used on the inner corner of eyes and lids.  You need to wet the brush or use your fingers for the colour to stand out.

Eyelid: This is a baby pink shade that has shimmers to it. Again need wet brushes or finger to get proper pigmentation.

Application

I played with this a bit and did a very basic eye makeup which turned out okay-ish. What do you think?

I’ll try to break it down a bit to you:

  • Covered undereye circles with concealer and set it with powder, except the lids. I wanted the shimmer shade to stick and show up better.
  • Eyelid shade all over the lids with finger.
  • Crease shade on the outer corner and blended with Wet n Wild crease brush. Also applied it on the lower lash line.
  • Took transition shade on the brush to blend the line between crease shade and eyelid shade.
  • Used browbone on the inner corner.
  • Put a very thin line with eyeliner on the inner half of eyes so it doesn’t look harsh and make my lash line intense.
  • Put on mascara!

CONCLUSION

Overall, this is a decent eyeshadow palette for the price (4 shades for 300!!) and if you’re someone wanting to explore eye makeup you should definitely get it. But if you’re someone who has used some really good, creamy eyeshadows, you’d be disappointed.

Nevertheless, I like playing with it and it has some shades I didn’t own before, so it was a good eye palette for the price.

If you are willing to spend just a bit more and buy a really good palette then you can check the review of Colourpop Yes Please Palette HERE. It’s my absolute favourite!

    WnW has a lot of great products but they’re all very hit or miss. I do agree that their eyeshadows could use some work but they’re also good for beginners as they’re not as pigmented and if you mess up, it’s easy to fix.
    Great in depth review!

    These are super pretty and I love the fact they have different colours and made them into cute small eyeshadow. They are super pigmentated and having pinks is lots of fun to create pretty eyes x

@saba_tkhan knows how to capture me perfectly 🤌
Along with following a solid AM and PM skincare ro Along with following a solid AM and PM skincare routine, Ramadan calls for some extra TLC through out the day.💆‍♀️ Remember the goal is to look a 10/10 on eid. jk. 
(Cute ASMR when you go through slides)

Here are a few products/tips to make your skincare game a little better:
1. Face Mist: For when you start feeling tired and lousy, and it shows on your face. Something like Avene thermal spray is great for the instant refreshment!
The skin also gets dehydrated with repeated rinsing with water, so a mist that's refreshing AND hydrating 💦 is even better - so comes the Hylamide SubQ Mist (which deciem is about to shutdown😩) 
You can transfer your favorite toner to a pump bottle - no need of buying a new product! 🥳

2. Sunscreen: Again, all that rinsing will remove your sunscreen. So if you're out/under sun exposure🌞, reapply your sunscreen. Some people love sunstick, personally I CAN'T. But a sunscreen with creamy consistency like this one by face shop (🎁 pr from a year ago) is perfect for reapplication.

Anyway, how's everyone's Ramadan going? It's my first time fasting for 15-16 hours lol but the weather here is much more forgiving than India which makes it super convenient, alhamdulillah.
My PM routine except for the 2 days in the week wh My PM routine except for the 2 days in the week when I’m on tret - Yes Yes I restarted it last month!🎉 It's been a smooth journey so far.

I missed my skin looking like a 10/10 tbh, some of the older PIH and PIE are being really annoying, they literally live rent free 24*7! Most days I accept and embrace it, but once in a while when you see yourself in pictures, IT HITS lol. Is self love a scam, frenss?

The Ordinary glycolic acid has always been the IT girl for me, even now I could see how quickly my new acne spots disappear since I started using it. It’s a strong formula though and only suits cute people.✌️
The cleanser is newer, the rest I've been using fo The cleanser is newer, the rest I've been using for monthss! Leave a 🌃 if you wanna see my nighttime skincare routine too! 

The @larocheposay Cicaplast cleanser is in my top 2 best cleansers of all time list! I use the @skin1004official centella serum to soothe my skin, however it doesn't provide any hydration.
@isntree Onion toner is superior>>> idk what toner you are using rn but ik it can't be better than this. I said what I said.🤫
@deciem TO ascorbic+arbutin is giving me mixed feelings, I should write a blog post to convey everything.
You know @thefaceshopindia_official sunscreen is my fav! It's almost finished but with spring here, I'm looking for something less moisturizing.
Battle of Micellar Water - @larocheposay Ultra 💪 @biodermafrance . Both do a great job of taking off all the makeup (LRP sometimes feel a bit🤌 more efficient at it), haven't broken me out, and don't have any annoying scent. They're also priced similar. What's your pick?

LRP leaves a slightly sticky feel, not as bad as Garnier's🤢 if you want a reference, which is OKAY since you anyway go in with a 2nd cleanser. BUT I don't.😭

I have frequent days when I wipe my face with micellar water and head to sleep. That's the reason I love Bioderma. Zero sticky residue, skin literally feels like you have washed it in the sink but in reality you're bed half asleep, scrolling AITA subreddit.😌
It's strange why @nyxcosmetics hasn't adopted me y It's strange why @nyxcosmetics hasn't adopted me yet🤷‍♀️ 
My makeup staples:
The concealer is fabulous, absolutely minimal creasing even after 12 hours. The powder gives a soft blurred finish, amazing for setting the makeup. Epic liner's fine tip makes it so easy to play with wings, and of course it's smudge-proof. Ofc, I've talked about the brow mascara and SMLC a million times already! 

Mascara courtesy - essence as always!
