I recently found the Wet N Wild Eyeshadow Trios from the Beauty Army collection. I was able to hunt them down at a local Walgreens. They were on a side endcap display. Each trio was on sale for $2.00 a piece. I picked up 3 of the 6 available trios. The three I picked up are Enlisting for Beauty, Soldiers in Charms, and Zero Dark Flirty.
All swatches were done over Nars Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base. First up, Enlisting for Beauty.
Probably the worst pigmentation of the three. I can barely see the Browbone and Lid shades on my hand. Maybe it you are pale, this would work but if you are medium toned, stear clear.
Next up, Soldiers in Charms
Okay pigmentation. Not as good as I was expecting for Wet N Wild. That middle crease shade is gorgeous in the pan and the pigmentation on that one is okay. The others I found I had to work at a bit to get them to apply consistently and show up as well as they are.
Last up, Zero Dark Flirty
While the pigmentation looks okay in the photo, I really had to layer on the color with these to get them to show up. Overall I felt that they applied kind of splotchy. Not as creamy an application as I typically get with Wet N Wild shadows.
So overall, I'm not very impressed with these trios. I mean, Enlisting for Beauty is pretty much useless and the other two are fine but difficult to work with/blend. I don't think it would be the base that was causing that issue since Nars Pro Prime tends to make shadow stick like glue.
Anyone have better experience with the other three trios? Did I just get a bad batch? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
