Wet n Wild Color Icon Palette: Poster Child
I picked up the new (?!?) Wet n Wild Color Icon Palette in Poster Child at CVS recently. I never saw this even being talked about so I’m either really behind on makeup news or I’m just on top of things. I’m a HUGE fan of the original Color Icon palettes. They are super affordable at $4.99 and pack a lot of power behind such a small price tag. They are extremely pigmented (maybe more so than some of my rather expensive brands) and they apply like butter. I’ve always bragged them up to people who would NEVER have given them a chance, just because they are Wet n Wild. They too, fell in love. They’re just that good!
$4.99
The Poster Child palette reminds me of a box of Crayons. It’s bright and beautiful. Which seemed perfect for some Spring looks. At first glance I was like I‘ll never wear half of these. After swatching the colors, I actually think that they are extremely wearable shades. I probably won’t pile on every color into one look, but if worn alone or if some of the colors were blended, I think this would be a great palette (color wise) to have for Spring/Summer looks.
What happened?!?
Yes. For $4.99, this is a super cheap palette to add to your collection, BUT, something happened to the formula of the shadows. They don’t seem to be as creamy or pigmented as the original palettes. I can still get a pretty good amount of pigment, but some of the colors need to be built up. That didn’t happen before. Am I suggesting that this palette isn’t good? No. I’m just letting you know ahead of time that something changed. I’m still happy with it and can’t wait to play around with some of the colors!

I would LOVE to see some pictures of you wearing these colors. I’ve always wanted to be able to create / pull off fun colors like this, but I never seem to have the courage. I’m a pink, purple, and nude color kind of girl, but I want to venture out. Any tips / tutorials with bright fun colors would be great!
Ashly, I just picked this up, but I’m working on some fun looks featuring this palette! I’ll have it posted soon!
I just recently been to CVS and I did not see this or I would have definitely picked it up! I’ll keep an eye out
Oooh yes, I also want to see picspam when you’re ready. This is a magnificient looking box of color to play with. My only beef with W&W is when they list where to place the shadows. Yup, it totally helps some people out, but I don’t follow directions well.
Karen, I don’t always follow those guidelines. I feel like you can really place shadow where ever you prefer it to go, BUT, some people do like the suggestions. I feel, sometimes, those suggestions aren’t always exactly right though!!
