Review: Wet n Wild LE Going in the Wild Palette 2013

 Today I wanted to review for you the limited edition Wet n Wild Going in the Wild palette. This palette has been getting a lot of buzz online in the makeup community. Since I have had this palette for awhile, I thought it would be appropriate to do a full review with swatches. I just want to start out by saying that acquiring this palette was incredibly difficult and I was only able to find this palette with the top pan broken. 

Here's what this palette looks like up close. The shades have a fair amount of shimmer in them. The palette comes with a little application and no mirror. 

Here are some up close shots of the palette. Excuse some of the debris from the broken shadow.

The above swatches were taken in natural lighting without any flash without any type of primer or eyeshadow base. 

 Here's the back of the palette if anyone is interested. 

Review:

Pigmentation 6/10

The Going in the Wild palette has less pigmentation than normal Wet n Wild shadows in my opinion. Some of the shadows in the palette (the mint green) are definitely more pigmented than others. Some of the lighter shades have fairly weak pigmentation. I was shocked at the quality of these shadows compared to normal Wet n Wild. 

Blendability 7/10

These shadows weren't the worst at blending, but they definitely did not live up to normal Wet n Wild shadows to me. I found that some of the shadows would go on streaky, making it hard to blend. Some of the shadows would virtually disappear when I would blend.

Texture 8/10

I found these shadows to feel fairly smooth when going on, just as normal Wet n Wild shadows feel very buttery. The shadows in Going in the Wild feel somewhat softer than most shadows and as a result they tended to crumble for me.

Fallout 4/10

I am going to start out by showing the photo to the right. This was my first time using this palette. As you can tell, the mint color went on very patchy and created a very, very bad fallout mess onto my face. The mint color definitely had more fallout than the other shades. The fallout occured AFTER tapping off my brush.

Packaging 6/10

The packaging is pretty standard Wet n Wild but it has cuter white designs on it. The packaging is lacking a mirror, which is a down side in my opinion.

Overall 6.2/10

I was very disappointed by this palette, especially since I had hunted it down for so many weeks. The palette has pretty colors, but you must be super careful using them due to the enormous amount of fallout. Would I repurchase? No, I would not.
