Wet 'n' Wild 8-Pan Palette: Comfort Zone

Hi friends! I picked up the three new Wet ‘n’ Wild 8-pan eyeshadow palettes for $5 each at Walgreens last night. This is part three of a series of posts for each one – enjoy! This review is for Comfort Zone (I saved the best for last!).

I have numbered the shades in each palette so I can refer to them separately, since the individual shades don't have names. You can click on any picture to view it at full size. First, here are some product pictures:



And here are the swatches (all done over Urban Decay Primer Potion)!




Finally, here are my thoughts on the individual shades:
  1. Buttery, shimmery gold.
  2. Shimmery light copper - almost the color of a brand-new penny.
  3. Warm, shimmery light bronze. Reminds me of MAC Tempting.
  4. Very dark plum (or is it brown?) with multi-colored, warm-toned shimmer.
  5. Light, shimmery, golden taupe. Beautiful.
  6. Bright, shimmery, olive drab green. Also beautiful.
  7. Dark chocolate brown infused with tons of gold and bronze shimmer. This is like Dior Czarina Gold nail polish in eyeshadow form!
  8. Shimmery rust with a strong light blue/lavender flash. I have no idea how to wear shades like this! I've heard this is a dupe of MAC Club, but I haven't seen Club in a long time, so I can't confirm or deny that. However, I can confirm that it is the same shade as the bottom left shade in the Wet 'n' Wild Night Elf palette from their Holiday 2010 collection.
Overall, I think this is a fabulous palette. The pigmentation was perfect on every single shadow - there were no disappointments. It blows my mind that this is only $5; I’d gladly pay $5 each just for the shades I labeled #s 1, 3, 5, and 6. I think I may end up getting use out of every shade in this palette! Some of the ones I'm not sure I can pull off, but I plan to give them all at least one try on my eyes. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone – it has a pleasant variety of both cool and warm shades, so everyone should be able to find something in it they like.

I hope you enjoyed my little mini-series on these palettes! :)

  1. I totally agree with you. This is an amazing palette. I swatched color 8 next to MAC's Blue Brown pigment and it is an exact dupe.

  3. Thanks for the swatches of all three palettes! I wonder if these will travel well? Btw my Night elf palette broke just when I dropped it :( Good to know the color I love has a dupe in Comfort Zone. :D

  4. Makeupandme - I find the packaging is a bit weak, too. The compacts can be hard to open and don't really offer any protection. I plan to depot them all!

  7. Just found many at my walgreens all 3. The only one I got was "petal pusher" cuz thats the only one i felt crazzy about. At my walmart they only "blue had me at hello"

    SO I SPOKE TO THE MANAGER AT CVS AND THEY WILL DEFINATLY NOT HAVE IT BECAUSE WET N WILD IS NOW A LINE THEY DONT CARRY, AND IN PLACE OF WET N WILD THEY SELL NYC COSMETICS.

    "just saying in case anyone was wondering "

    My shade in MAC foundation is NC42 so im a tan/ beige skintone so in case anyone would like to see the swatches on a darker skin tone check out
