~Swatches + Looks~ Wet N Wild ColorIcon Palette in Going in The Wild.....

Hey Everyone!!

First, I will say the search for these particular Wet N' Wild  ColorIcon 8 pans was the worst of all the 8 pans they have EVER offered.

1) No one knew what stores they were going to show up in until they started to SHOW up. Turns out, they only available at CVS, when WnW has been historically sending their limited edition stuff to Walgreens.

2)I searched for two Saturdays and one Friday( because I have a LIFE) for these palettes. If it wasn't for Nouveau Cheap blog's Interactive Map, I would have never found this one. Please get into the map. It will save you gas, time and sanity.

3) I get to the store where someone has noted they spotted them, and the display is GONE. I go to the regular display and there I see, behind the permanent 8 pans..... one Going In The Wild palette.

4) At the time, I only wanted the other LE Spring palette, Nude Awakening. But, I would have been a FOOL to leave Going In The Wild there, so I bought it.:/

So here we go.....

Going In The Wild

With out Flash

With Flash.

Swatched in order of the palette...

 This is one of the looks I played around with. I used this palette three days straight, playing with combinations and shades.....

To be honest, I don't like Going In The Wild....

1) The shadows are powdery and a fall out mess.

2) I can't believe I'm saying this but the shades are too light for my skin. For the exception of the dark crease shades: the browns, golds, even the lavender color are not wearable at all on my skin color. They just lay on my skin. The green is only vibrant because I used MAC Fix + to make it a low lid liner for this look. I knew from the jump that this wasn't palette I wanted out of this Spring Awakening collection but I just could not leave it there. I'm such a makeup addict!!! SMH!

~Review~ tarte Call Of The Wild Amazonian Clay 8-Shadow Collector's Palette....

The cool breezes of the upcoming fall are inspiring lots of Fall makeup tutorials on the blog-sphere and on YouTube. I am all in for smoky eyes, dark burgundy lips and touches of gold sparkle in the right places!

I'm digging tarte Call Of The Wild palette because it gives you an awesome selection of smoky, neutrals and combination of both!

 There are eight shades: (starting from the left) meow, jungle, call, instinct, wild, lynx, primal, and roar. The names of the shades are on the plastic sanitary cover, so unless you don't care about that covering, don't throw it away!

 Jungle,meow,instinct,call, wild are all shimmers. The pigmentation is medium as most tarte eye shadows are.

 Lynx,primal, roar are mattes but the pigmentation on these are high. They pack a great color punch.

This look I used call,primal, roar, jungle and instinct. I loved this look!

 I used the mattes: primal, roar, and linx and they created a really nice smoky blueish grey look.

 The shadows are made of tarte's Amazonian Clay which has a great lasting power. Call of the Wild is priced at $36.

Anyone own this tarte palette? Let me know!
