TGIF. Ever think to yourself, where can I get a bright blue glitter eyeshadow? Me neither. But when I saw this sitting lonesome on the shelf of my grocery store, it was too pretty to resist. So let’s review Wet n Wild Coloricon Glitter Single in Distortion
Color: This eyeshadow is a bright medium blue packed with sparkles. Actually, only the sparkles themselves are blue. The base is a clear cream. The density of the sparkles on your eyelid will depend mostly on how oily your skin is. Compare the swatches on my arm vs the swatches on my fingertips. When I used my finger to wipe the glitter off my arm, the glitter that transfered to my fingers was far denser.
Texture: Glitter makeup has come a long way. This isn’t gritty at all. The cream base isn’t overly oily or drying. Unlike the glitter makeup from the 90s, I don’t find this to be irritating at all.
Wear: I’ll be honest and say that I did not attempt to see how long this would last. I can’t imagine a lot of people try to stretch out glitter eyeshadow into a full day’s wear anyway.
Price: Not breaking the bank at $0.99.
Cruelty-Free: Big, fat YES.
So what do you think? Will that tempting price tag convince you to pick this up? Or is glitter eyeshadow not your thing? Tell me in the comments below!
It looks fantastic. The only question is, where would I ever wear this?
Aha, I thought the same thing and then thought, what the heck, it’s less than $1
At least it will come in for costume for editorial makeup.
Very true!
That would be perfect to dab on your lids for a night out with your girlfriends! OR for a FUN mermaid photo shoot 🙂
I love the idea of a mermaid photoshoot. So fitting
I think it’s brilliant when women step outside of the box with makeup. Makeup is like an accessory that you can change up with every outfit and every mood. Great post!
Thanks so much!
I was thinking those would be great for some sort of holiday/festival… Mardi Gras? 4th of July look? I’m sure it could be a great 7/4 bbq look depending on the crowd 🙂 That said, it’s definitely not an everyday thing, unless you’re 10. Haha. Or have kids in dance/cheer!
Oooo, I really like that idea for a 4th of July look. We’ll see if I figure out something to do with this 🙂
Looks great! I have a MAC glitter that looks exactly like it, and dupes for mac stuff are always good to find! 😀
Cool! Glad I could (unintentionally) find a cheap dupe. Do you have any pictures with the glitter on?
Yes, on my Edgy Glitter Eyeliner look 😀
Awesome, I’ll have to look for that (although I’ve probably seen it, I want to refresh myself).

Hi! I nominated you for the Sisterhood Award 😀 Check it out here:

Thanks, I will check it out. I haven’t heard of that one before, but I’ve been meaning to do another award post
😀
wao it is such a nice color!! i have not seen it around though!! and the price is so good!
Agreed about both the color and the price! I hadn’t seen it before either.
I agree with shakeystacey … Looks great although I won’t really know where to wear it !
I have the same difficulty…but I’m searching the web for inspiration
🙂 you’re talented .. I’m sure you will figure something out !! Maybe a glitter mermaid eye look .. I would look forward to seeing what you come up with !
This is just the thing to have in your makeup kit when Halloween or other outrageous costume party occasion occurs. At $0.99, definitely worth it!
Agreed! The price is hard to pass up
You are a makeup expert so I figured you know this best .. What’s the best make up primer you recommend for dry – normal skin with no skin
Problems except maybe uneven skin tone ( not really but I have seen some people have flawlessly perfect skin).,, thanks 🙂
Well shoot, you have me stumped. I only use primer on my eyes, not for my face so I really don’t know. For eyes, I’ve used Mac paint pot in Painterly or even normal foundation. As for the rest of the face, I’ve heard a lot of good things about Smashbox, but I can’t tell you how good they are from my own experience… sorry!
I just used the smashbox at sephora today and quite loved it but I was a bit hesitant for its a bit of a splurge .. I guess I’ll probably buy it then … It feels very light and just glides on the skin
I wish I could help more. It seems like all the good ones you hear about are overpriced!
I know !!! And I avoid spending , I am proud to be cheap .. I want to see if Nyx has a primer
They might. I know that E.l.f has a fairly cheap primer, but I’ve never used that either.
Elf .. I should look into it … I also tried the primer from Clinique, it was all glitter and crappy ..
Ick. That sucks because Clinique is relatively expensive too.
It was cheaper than Smashbox but so horrible … The only good stuff Clinique makes is their face scrub and moisturizer .. Rest I hate their stuff
Hey !! I found the Nyx primer!! Just for from cvs for $14 but I had a 25% off coupon so even cheaper. Will use and post reviews soon !! Are you on twitter !!?!
I’m not on Twitter. I’m in the dark ages with social media. But I’ll keep an eye out for your review here 🙂
Lol dark ages ?!! I also avoided twitter for a long long time .. Now I am hooked !!! But sure … :)0
this looks nice ! should try it out ! new subbie !
Thank you and you should 🙂 It’s fun to find cheap products
Love your blog, Miss V!!!
Thanks V!
Guess it would look cool if you apply it verly lightly on the outer edge ofyour upper eyelid, or pack it very densily as eyeliner! I love this 😀
Thanks 🙂
Love the colour, I wanna see it on though! 🙂
Thanks! Maybe soon
I bought one of these the other day only it’s gold! I think it is such a fun product and for only a $1!

Yay, I can’t wait to see what you do with it 🙂
It’s a really pretty color! And a great deal for $1, but I’d probably never wear it
Thanks! I’m acting the same way right now. Bought it for the pretty color, but have yet to wear it…haha
