The Silent Zone

Today I have a couple of eyeshadow palettes to review that probably every single beauty blogger and vlogger owns, the Wet n Wild Coloricon Eyeshadow palettes. I don't think there is a single person who wasn't amazed by the quality of these shadows, for their very low price - and in general really. I have two palettes to review today, their eight pan in Comfort Zone and trio in Silent Treatment. 

The packaging is nothing spectacular, you get what you expect with the price you pay. It's functional, rather sturdy with no excess, unnecessary bulk. The clear lids allow the shades inside to be easily seen and they snap shut quite securely. Both palettes come with a brush and sponge tip which will probably end up in the bin. The backs of both palettes, as well as the names embossed into the shadows will help any beginners with shadow placement and in the case of the eight pan, suggestions for different looks. 

I'm sure you have all heard about the formula of these shades somewhere in your journeys through the beauty blogosphere. Pigmented, soft and smooth they are described as being, and I for one have to agree! They are extremely soft to the touch but are not crumbly at all, but are a tad powdery and have little fallout. Their metallic shades are very shiny and are certainly eye catching. Their lasting power is pretty standard (I don't find eyeshadows to really vary in wear time, as long as I have a good primer). I knew that the formula of these shadows would be good but I still seem to be impressed by them! In comparison to higher end shadows like Lorac, I find these to be slightly less smooth and buttery but still offer similar pigmentation.

The left side of the Comfort Zone palette is very neutral with pretty, romantic brown hues.

Browbone: A light champagne, cream shade with a frosty, almost iridescent finish.

Eyelid: A light bronzed-pink shade that almost takes on a bit of a rose gold look. It has a metallic finish.

Crease: A medium bronzed-brown shade with a metallic finish.

Definer: A dark, mid-toned brown with a satin-matte finish at its base with coppery red sparkles.

The right side of the palette is comprised of olivey-green shades but still keeps to the neutral theme.

Browbone: An interesting shade that is more of a green toned, light grey with a frost finish.

Eyelid: An olive toned, medium green shade with a metallic finish.

Crease: A very dark, almost black, forest green which is satin-matte at its base, with golden-green sparkles.

Definer: A stunner of a shade! It is a red brown with a strong blue-green colour shift. It is mainly metallic and bears resemblance to MAC's duochrome shade in Club.

The combination of shades in Comfort Zone is certainly lovely. You can stay neutral and light, or go quite deep and smokey as well as incorporating a bit of colour into the look, whilst staying neutral. My one issue with the shades is that they are all some form of metallic or frost which can be quite overwhelming on the eye. Unless I'm doing a single shadow look, I find it hard to stick to the palette as I simply need some matte shades to break up the shimmer. I've taken photos of the swatches in sunlight so you can see just how shimmery they are.

Silent Treatment is a trio of shades that are slightly cooler leaning towards the taupe-y side of neutral.

Browbone: A light icy pink shade with a silver frost finish.

Crease: A dark, cool brown that is almost black. It has a satin-matte finish at its base and golden sparkles scattered throughout. A similar finish to the left Definer and right Crease shades from Comfort Zone.

Eyelid: A taupe-y mushroom grey shade with slight purple tones. It has a metallic finish.

A very versatile palette indeed as within just these three shades you can have a very light eye look or a deep smokey one. Though I prefer warm eyeshadow shades, I cannot deny how pretty these ones are!

I do think I would look into getting a few more shades sometime in the future, but for the meantime these ones are serving me well! I agree with everyone else that these are certainly amazing for their price!
