Wet n Wild Gilded Age Eyeshadow Trio (Swatches and Comparisons)

Wet n Wild is quickly becoming one of my favorite drugstore brands. At such a low price point, their products sometimes beat higher end ones out of the water! They recently released a new eyeshadow trio, called Gilded Age. This trio has been hard to find so I thought I'd post some comparisons to help you all decide if you really do need to search for it, or if this is similar to what you already have!

Wet n Wild Gilded Age Eyeshadow Trio- The shades of this trio are the same quality as the other trios: smooth, creamy, pigmented, in a word...HEAVEN!

Swatches: (left to right) Browbone, Crease, Eyelid

Comparisons:

left to right: Gilded Age Browbone, Urban Decay Sin, Too Faced Silk Teddy, Stila Kitten

left to right: Gilded Age Crease, MAC Tempting, MAC Mulch, Milani Java Bean

left to right: Gilded Age Eyelid, Too Faced Honey Pot, Urban Decay Half Baked

If you do find this trio, I highly recommend picking it up! I believe people have been finding it at CVS and it retails for around $3.

Do you have the Wet n Wild Gilded Age Eyeshadow Trio? What do you think of  it? Will you be picking it up?

Just as a warning, these will be pic heavy posts =] NYC has had gross weather for most of the week so I've been more into the "one shadow all over the lid and go" look most days.There were some days that I have felt like using more shadows and I have loved those combos!

So there's my week of eyeshadow looks. I'd have to say Tuesday's and Thursday's looks were my favorite. Too Faced Silk Teddy is one of my all time favorite shadows. It is great for a gorgeous, eye brightening one shadow look. I also loved the golden look of Thursday. I usually avoid shades like Half Baked and Woodwinked (very similar to Half Baked) because while they look golden and glowy, they come out copper on me. People have given me the tip that if this happens, to use a brown base. This did the trick and I got the gorgeous golden color that I wanted.

The LAST Eyes of March- March 31st

The day has come! It's the last day of The Eyes of March project! I've had such a fun time rediscovering old shadows and I will definitely continue to post more EOTDs. This project kept me from getting in a shadow rut as I was using a new one everyday. I encourage all of you to get your neglected shadows and use them more because you may never know, you could have been neglecting a shadow you love. (Shadows have feelings too!)

I had so much fun with the project I kind of don't want it to end =] I wanted to thank all of you for following along with this project! It was so great to hear the positive feedback from you guys. Would you be interested in me continuing it into April?

Today is a gross and grey rainy day so I went with a more smokey eye. I used Chanel's Taupe Grise and Milani's Java Bean. Taupe Grise is a gorgeous purpley smokey taupe and Java Bean is a purpley dark brown. Like I said before, Milani single shadows are AMAZING.

Products used:

-UDPP

-Chanel Taupe Grise (lid)

-Milani Java Bean (crease)

-NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk (inner corner base)
-Urban Decay Virgin (inner corner)
-Jordana Fabuliner (upper lashline)

The Eyes of March- March 29th

I really don't know how I forgot about this eyeshadow: MAC's Naked Lunch! Naked Lunch, can you ever forgive me?? You are just so pretty and eye brightening and I neglect you =[ (cheesy!) Naked Lunch is a toned down version of Too Faced Silk Teddy (LOVE). It's a light champagne-y pink and you guessed it, very eye brightening. I also pulled out Milani's Golden Bronze Eyeshadow (can you guess what the color is like?). I love Milani single shadows and am very sad they've been discontinued. However, I have seen them on Cherry Culture.

Products used:
-UDPP

The Eyes of March- March 24th

I have been so overworked and tired lately that I went for a basic look today. I reached for one of my favorite drugstore shadows, Revlon's Nude Slip, and used a shadow I never have before, MAC's Go. I bought Go, a Starflash color, from a blogsale and when I realized it was exactly like Tempting, it just satin my MAC palette next to it's twin. Today I decided to finally show it love.

The Eyes of March- March 23rd

I love this challenge for making me discover combos I love. Last night, I watched MakeupbyTiffanyD's new video and she used MAC's Vintage Selection paintpot. I was inspired to use it today and love the effect of a taupe over it. The shadows I used are all from the Wet n Wild Silent Treatment trio (which I LOVE, my post about it ).

The Eyes of March- March 22nd

Today I pulled out some of my new Inglot shadows to do a purple-y smokey look. I love the quality of Inglot shadows but unfortunately, I can't tell you the names/numbers of them because it is so difficult to get the shadow out of the palette without potentially nicking it. Inglot has recently opened a new online store for those without access to an actual store since there are so few of them.

Here are swatches of the two shadows I used:

 

Products used:

-UDPP
-Inglot silvery purple color (lid)

The Eyes of March- March 21st

Today I pulled out one of the first makeup items that I bought once I started getting more into makeup: the Covergirl Shimmering Sands Trio. I'm sure a lot of you have heard other youtubers rave about this little drugstore gem. The colors are very wearable, eye brightening, and neutral! (Can you guess why I love it?)

 

Here is a picture of the trio for reference:

The Eyes of March- March 19th

The reason I started this project is to rediscover eyeshadows and use some I've never used before. Today was the day I used Too Faced Nude Beach eyeshadow from the Neautral Eye palette, a shadow I have stayed away from and never touched the entire time of owning this palette. I now know that I will never use this shadow again. This shadow is filled with glitter chunks that fall out ALL OVER. I despise the fact that companies put these glitter fillers in shadows, they are such a pain! The glitter never stays on your eye and it's the msot irritating thing ever. I also used the Pixie Epoxy again to make the glitter stick and it worked a little bit, but 50% of it was all over my face. Moral of the story: I am never using it again and I hate that it's one of the biggest shadows in the palette. End rant =]

Products used:


-Michael Todd Eyeshadow base
-Fyrrinae Pixie Epoxy (base)

The Eyes of March- March 18th

It's practically spring in NYC and I was very excited to pull out the lighter makeup.I'm a big lover of spring weather, not too hot or cold, so I'm so happy today to not even be wearing a jacket!  One of my favorites in the spring/summer is Rubenesque paint pot. It's a gorgeous peachy gold base. I also got some use out of my Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland Palette, which has been sitting untouched for ages!

by the way, do any of you know how to help that eyeliner "bleeding" in the inner corner? I always get it even though I set the liner too! Any tips?
