Good morning beauties! I am quite excited to share this palette with you, along with 2 others coming within the next 2 weeks. Today, I will be performing a Wet ‘n Wild Boardwalk Boozing Color Icon Palette review. I have been a huge supporter or Wet ‘n Wild for at least 5 years and they only continue to step up their game. It’s amazing how much their products compare to higher end brands, especially when it comes to their eye shadows. I am bursting with excitement since their latest palette launch includes nothing but bright and bold eye shadows!
I bet you’re just anxious to see swatches of these babies. No worries, I won’t leave you hangin’!
A pretty exceptional pigmentation, right? There’s definitely room for improvement in the 2 greens in the palette, but at $4.99, this palette is still more than worth it. Even with only 6 great shades still makes each eye shadow less than $1 a pop. Just in case you’re a dupe searcher like me, I have some comparable shades to show you how you can save your coins. I have each color labeled for your convenience. All eye shadows shown are MAC unless stated otherwise.
Unfortunately, MAC Chrome Yellow Eye Shadow has a bit more pigmentation than the Wet ‘n Wild yellow. I have an easy fix for this though. Grab a white base and pack that baby on top for an above par yellow. Problem solved!
I honestly swatched MAC Red Brick Eye Shadow just for kicks. The Wet ‘n Wild shade leans more coral and is super unique. You can really grab this palette for this shade alone!
So MAC Sour Lemon Eye Shadow is another failed contender. As I mentioned before, the greens aren’t all that great in this palette. I did; however, use it atop of a white base to improve it a bit, but it took a lot of effort on my end.
I’ll admit, MAC Electra Eye Shadow is way more metallic, but the silver in the palette is still pretty nonetheless. Here’s a secret: wetting this eye shadow will put you closer to your dream of having Electra. Enjoy!
MAC One-Off Eye Shadow is more metallic and also darker. Once again, it’s not really pigmented without a primer underneath, a white, sticky one to be more exact.
Make Up For Ever #75 is pretty much identical to the Wet ‘n Wild version. Yay for dupes! Definitely get the palette rather than splurging on the same higher end color.
I failed at finding a dupe for the purple. However, the color in the palette is a lot better than MAC Nocturnelle Eye Shadow as you can see.
MAC Atlantic Blue Eye Shadow is a darker version of the Wet ‘n Wild one. You could probably easily darken the latter with a darker base underneath, or get both lol. Honestly Atlantic Blue isn’t all that great since it darkens nearly simultaneously after application.
This palette is really nice to have. I am really excited to show you the next two within the next couple of weeks. Have a great day!
