Wet n Wild Zodiac Lip Glosses
Wet n Wild Zodiac Collection has launched! It's now available on their website and exclusively at Walmart US, sadly this one isn't coming to Canadian stores. If you do want to pick it up you can grab it on the Wet n Wild website. If you'd like to see the Wet n Wild Zodiac collection in action I have a full try-on and review video. You can also see my blog post all about the Wet n Wild Zodiac Highlighter and Zodiac Eyeshadow Palettes

Today we're chatting about the Wet n Wild Zodiac Lip Glosses. I think these are super fun! If you are looking to grab something with your sign or as a gift these are a super affordable way to do it. The lip glosses retail for $2.93 at walmart.com. The formula is nice, more on the thin side but they don't slip around too much. I haven't played much with the deeper shades, I don't love dark glosses but they have a pretty short lasting time. As to be expected from a light gloss. There are some super unique shades that would make great lipstick toppers.

Overall, I really like these. If you like your sign or even someone else's grab it! I mean I'm an aquarius but capricorn is my fave shade.

Wet n Wild Zodiac Earth Eyeshadow Palette

Today we're chatting specifically about the Wet n Wild Zodiac Collection Eyeshadow Palettes. There are 4 Color Icon palettes in the collection, Fire, Earth, Air and Water. These palettes retail for $4.68 on walmart.com which is an awesome deal. There are 6 shades in each palette. The Zodiac Eyeshadow Palettes are a little bit of a different shape than their newest design. They are in a wheel, with no separation between the shades and no mirror. 
Wet n Wild Zodiac Fire Eyeshadow Palette

Sadly, to me, these palettes are a miss. I have high standards when it comes to Wet n Wild shadows, they've always been such great quality! The packaging on is just inconvenient and hard to use. I hate when shadows don't have actual pans. Makes it harder than it should be to pick up individual shades. Also some shades are super big and others are tiny. In addition to that, there are no mattes. I need mattes!

That being said, I really do like some of the shade combinations - they are unique. Earth is my favorite. In the Fire palette, although I love warm tones 2 of the shades are far too similar. The quality of the shades is quite good, my issue is more with the way they are laid out.

Overall, if you really like a shade combination and don't mind the packaging - go for it! Otherwise, I recommend picking up one of their permanent palettes which I think are so good.

Wet n Wild Zodiac Highlighters 
Wet n Wild Zodiac Collection has launched! It's now available on their website and exclusively at Walmart US, sadly this one isn't coming to Canadian stores.

Wet n Wild Zodiac Fire Highlighter
Wet n Wild Zodiac Earth Highlighter 
I plan to review the entire collection here on my blog but today we're chatting about the Zodiac MegaGlo Highlighting Bars and the MegaGlo Loose Highlighting Powder. In general, Wet n Wild makes some of my favorite highlighters at the drugstore. Not just because they are affordable either, the formula rivals high end. Super smooth, glowy and great shades. 
Wet n Wild Zodiac Air Highlighter
Wet n Wild Zodiac Water Highlighter 
What I love about Wet n Wild's collections is that they don't sacrifice quality when launching specialty and limited edition collections. The Wet n Wild Zodiac Highlighters are great, that same quality in fun, zodiac themed packaging. The bars are my favorites, in general I tend to prefer their pressed over loose powder - less glitter. 
Wet n Wild Zodiac Highlighter Swatches
Of all the highlighting bars my favourite shades are Fire and then Earth. These retail for $6.99. Fire has a gorgeous warm underdone that is more copper, great for a deeper skin tone. Earth is a true gold, which I always love! For me, Air is a little too light - but great if you have a more fair skin tone with pink undertones.  Water, is a miss, in my opinion. Blue highlights aren't for me, I actually didn't mind their blue mega glo highlight from last year but this one just has too much depth. I haven't tried it on my skin but I'd assume it would look bruise-ish. 
Wet n Wild Zodiac Loose Highlighter
The Wet n Wild Zodiac MegaGlo Loose Highlighting Powder in Written in the Stars, this one wasn't for me either. This retails for $5.99. Again, personal preference, it has a light pink frosty tone which is just too light for my skin. It also contains slight glitter which I don't love, but I think it could be great on the body! 
Wet n Wild Zodiac Loose Highlighter Swatches
Overall, I highly recommend the highlighting bars - great texture, shades, and so affordable! Will you be picking up anything from this collection?
