Wet and Wild - On cloud nine and Steal my thunder palettes with looks included

Ok so i did my Lust review and now i have 2 of the Trios from the collection.

On cloud nine is more of a blue, silver and brown smokey eye to be achieved, Days of thunder is defiantly more of a day look smokey eye with just a hint of colour being the silver shade.

On Cloud nine Trio 

So i already love the pigmentation of the wet and wild palettes plus the blend ability of the colours is great and they work so well. They are soft so it probably why i find them so east to work with them. The look i did with this palette included the "Light in purple" maybelline colour tattoo and this was a really bad shade in the colour tattoo range. It is so patchy and doesn't apply to the eye easy so if you like it then just use it for a liner or find an alternative. The brow bone colour with the pale blue is a really lovely colour i can use and utilise for a lot of looks.

The wet and wild shadows saved this look for me with the Brow-bone helping to fix the patching and the bottom blue for the outer V to define and make the look pop. I think this blue look is quite subtle and can be used for during the day plus i pared it with a light pink, blue toned lip-colour. Lavender whip which is my favourite at the moment. 

So what do you think of this look ?

Steal my thunder Trio 

Steal my thunder i was under the assumption on looking at it could be used for a handbag trio to use as its mostly day colours with smokey hints. However wet and wild is so soft and buttery I'm really not sure if taking it out is a wise idea.

So this look i will be using the matte white to base the eye and then also build the silver into the lid with a very soft coated V looking crease shade. The i think with the eye being very blended out and using a slight white eyeliner in the corner and waterline with the kohl black. 

A red or very bright vibrant lip i think will look best with this look, its very colour plain so the lip will add that pop it needs and I'm defiantly thinking more a colour like Ruby woo or Scarlett empress.

So i love these palettes and cannot wait to play with them more to create looks plus also add to my collection of Wet and wild. I would love to trial some of the other products they produce.

I really hope they hit the UK shops soon. 

Lookbook - Wet and Wild, BeautyUK looks

So im going to start doing a weekly look-book at what products I've used and how I've achieved these, plus the finished result. Then if you like any you can see the relevant post from that week or brand to see the full review. 

So we will start with the basics of what i used to prime my face on these looks and that would be these

products 

Elemis Pro-radiance Flash balm (Primer) - review to follow this week 

BeautyUK - New matte FX Foundation (Suited more for normal to combination skin)

BeautyUK - Blush and Brush - I used both mixed with the Pink giving the flush of colour and the more peach to give a light bronzer effect and highlight, they are really great products to use and you need a tiny amount.

Eye-Primer as always my Urban decay primer potion

Palettes used are Wet and Wilds - Don't steal my thunder and BeautyUK- Glitz 

YSL - Volumise and lengthen mascara 

Now i have done separate look charts and if you want any thing added to these look books please leave a comment and il be happy to answer or if you want any looks to be done.

So the first will be the BeautyUK look i achieved with the Glitz palette 

I started by using the lightest pink on the eye and a touch of the silver to the inside corner of the eye as highlight, then taking the darker pink fill the lid with this colour so the light pink still is present and makes the eye pop. Then with the lightest blue i blended a little in the crease and it made this amazing purple shade when blended and also made the lid pink have a purple tinge to it. 

When all is blended take some of the black shimmer and pack a little into the outer "v" and blend inwards so you just have more definition to the eye and the other colours will just look like they have faded making the lid the focal point. I then used the BeautyUK jumbo pencil liner (Black side) to lightly line the eye and make it pop. As you can see in the bottom left picture the BeautyUK blushers being used as a pop of colour to the cheek and the rustic peach as a gentle highlight. When doing a bold eye that has a lot of shimmer i don't like using a more pearl highlight as i find its too much.

So the rustic peach blush was a fine and lovely highlight. Also the turquoise side of the pencil i just lightly used it under the waterline to the outer V then continued into the inner V with the black side. 

I really like how these shadows blend and work well together, so many variants can be used with this palette.

--------------------------------------------

So look 2 was done with Wet and Wilds - Don't steal my thunder ONLY, bar the eye-pencil which again was the beautyUK one, I started from the inner crease with the brow-bone colour at the top as a base for the whole eye then i cover the lid with the silver colour. I then used the define and packed it along the lid till half way in, then i blended this until it was a fluid colour and even, it must have a duo-chrome in all the shadows as it looks dark blue but i assure you i used none. Then going in again with the define black colour i used a pencil brush to define the crease and V. Then again lined my eyes with the Black jumbo eyeliner. 

So what do you think ?

Now in the coming weeks i will be reviewing the 

Stila - Daydream Palette , MAC vs AVON eyeliners

W7 - Nude palette , e.l.f nail polish remover pads  

Technic , Nail art posts

Wet and Wild - Lust Palette

Ok so Wet and Wild is an American drugstore brand thats not available in the UK. I had tried the petal pusher palette and have 2 single pan colours after buying them from another blogger friend. I loved the quality of them also the colour payoff and pigmentation is exceptional in my opinion. It made me lust after so many of there products to trial and see if i could get great value when doing my american hauls.

So when i saw a brilliant amazon seller i had to do a haul. So here is my review on the Lust palette and my trios reviews will follow after this review later in the week.

So being that it is an american brand i do not know much other then it is drugstore line and that they are very cheap in price. Especially for the palettes, however like our drugstore brands you must either trial and error or do some research into what are the stand out products. Wet and wild have now become well known for there eyeshadows. They do offer collections on occasion and at the moment there is a Fergie inspired range available.

They do offer single shadows but the trio, six and eight pans are the ones which offer the most value. Lust is a 6 pan shadow set with mix of matte and shimmers. The swatches as you can see offer high pigmentation and whilst the fallout is what i was expecting to be the only price to pay, there is none. It does lift a slight amount when you dab in your brush but i always blow my palettes after use so that no shadows mix or become contaminated with another colour. 

So the mattes are beautiful with a lovely frosty pink, cream and plum colour. In addition the shimmer shades being of this amazing brown mixed plum with duo-chromes of red, silvers and pinks inside it (bottom right colour in the pan) They are of a buttery consistency and blend amazing for a drugstore brand. I can see why they are spoken so highly of and will be defiantly trying to get my hand on more sets. Comfort zone and walking on eggshells are my most wanted list now.

Wet and Wild

So do you own any wet and wild ? would you recommend any ?
