Wet n Wild Autumn Lush Collection
I never planned to purchase this collection. When I heard about the Wet n Wild Sequins and Stardust Holiday Collection, I went crazy looking for it. After searching about 25 stores over a whole weekend I finally stumbled upon a display at a Five Below. But there were no gold bar palettes and only a few pigments. I grabbed the few pigments that were available and sulked all the way to the counter. But before I got there I spotted the Autumn Lush display. It looked really nice and since I was sure the Sequins and Stardust Collection was a lost cause, I grabbed everything on the display. Well, everything except the other eyeshadow trio which really didn’t appeal to me.

Wet n Wild Coloricon Eyeshadow Trio in Velour Vixen
Sometimes I come across a Wet n Wild eyeshadow palette that surprises the heck out of me. This, my friends, is one of those times! I mean seriously… look at those swatches! The brow bone shade is on the powdery side, but you can still work with it. The crease shade is incredibly beautiful and pigmented! The eyelid shade is also really pretty and nicely pigmented. I actually applied this how it suggests. I did wet my brush a bit before applying the lid shade though. Then I pressed the shadow onto my lid. I really wanted it to be dramatic. I used the crease shade for my lower lash line. I used the gold bar highlighter on the inner corner of my eye. Yep, I got it eventually!
This impressive little trio was super easy to apply and blend. I did experience a bit of fallout from the lid shade, but it is on the shimmery side. It faded and creased a bit around the 6 hour mark. This is definitely one of the nicer eyeshadow palettes Wet n Wild has to offer. I love it so much that if I spot another one, I’m scooping it up. You can see Velour Vixen in action below.

Wet n Wild Coloricon Matte Liquid Lipstick in Don’t Be A Plum Plum
This is a very gorgeous vampy shade that just screams Autumn! It’s a little on the watery side. It can be a little tricky to work with. I had to use a brush to help smooth out the application. It can look a little patchy, but it wasn’t so bad once it fully dried down.

Wet n Wild Coloricon Matte Liquid Lipstick in How Fleek Is Your Love
I was very impressed with this shade. It had a nice creamy texture. It was super easy to apply. It applied nice and evenly. It was transfer-proof and felt pretty lightweight. It made for a nice comfortable wear and lasted through the day.

Wet n Wild Coloricon Matte Liquid Lipstick in Take It Like A Vamp
I was so disappointed with this shade. The texture was a little on the watery side. Application was a nightmare! It never evened out and was a huge patchy, streaky, mess. What’s worse is that it dries down much faster than the others leaving you with very little time to perfect the application. Once it starts to dry, forget it. If you try and go in to clean it up it starts to flake off. I don’t get it. I’ve seen other swatches where it looks even and just… amazing! But mine was a mess! Maybe I got a bad batch? It could have been the applicator? It was much wider and fuzzier than the others.

Wet n Wild Coloricon Matte Liquid Lipstick in Too Tulip To Quit
This shade was also very easy to work with. It’s right up there with How Fleek Is Your Love. I don’t really think the pink screams Autumn, but it’s still a beautiful shade and it performs well.

Overall, I think it’s a great collection. 3 out of the 4 lipsticks were amazing while the other one just didn’t perform well. Which is a shame because it’s a gorgeous shade and would have been perfect for Autumn. The eyeshadow trio is beautiful and the shades really compliment each other. It made for a gorgeous Autumn look!
