Wet 'n' Wild 8-Pan Palette: Petal Pusher

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 two of a series of posts for each one – enjoy! This review is for Petal Pusher.

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. Chalky white-pink with a fuchsia flash. Low pigmentation.
2. Soft neutral medium purple with gold shimmer. High pigmentation (no, that's not a typo - it's just hard to tell in the pictures). BEAUTIFUL. Pictures do NOT do this justice!!
3. Cool-leaning, shimmery, vivid violet. High pigmentation. Again, BEAUTIFUL.
4. Cool violet with silver sparkle. Medium pigmentation.
5. Cool, frosty, baby pink. High pigmentation. I'm not kidding or exaggerating when I say this is the prettiest pink eyeshadow I have ever laid eyes on. You just can't tell how gorgeous it is in these pics! Ugh.
6. Neutral wine with burnished-gold (almost copper) shimmer. Low pigmentation.
7. Matte dark chocolate brown infused with tons of multi-colored shimmer (pink, purple, copper, and probably other colors too that I just can't see right now). High pigmentation. Stunning.
8. Matte black with silver shimmer. Medium pigmentation. Note that this is not the same as #8 in Blue Had Me At Hello - that one has larger sparkle particles, whereas the shimmer in Petal Pusher's #8 is more fine - you're unlikely to experience the same fallout I experienced with #8 in Blue Had Me At Hello.

Overall, I think this is a great palette. It blows my mind that this is only $5; I’d gladly pay $5 each just for the shades I labeled #s 2, 3, and 5. I don’t see myself using all these shades and I like to keep my stash minimized, so I will probably end up depotting this and keeping maybe half the shades in another palette. 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 think that especially if you're not into dupe-hunting, this one is pretty special; I can honestly say "I don't have anything else like this" for almost every shade in this palette! And I think I will get a lot of use out of those pink and purple shades. :)
