Written by Elessa, Posted in Product Review, Swatches, Wet N Wild
If you are on a budget andwant some pop to your shadows head on over to the end cap of your local drug store. For $1.99 you can pick up a short cream shadow pencil that will intensify all your eyeshadow needs. While they don’t work well on their own they make a great addition to any makeup look.

- Electro- Frosty bright teal-ish blue
- Pixie-Frosty universal pearl white-creme
- Distressed- Frosty dark denim blue
- Techno- Frosty- Sheer blueish purple. This one is sheer but a bit tough to work with. I recommend using a small about and building up.

I am super impressed with these cream shadows. They are soft and pigmented and works great under powdered eyeshadow. Remember to use it sparingly to avoid creasing. Use this as you would with a NYX Jumbo pencil. While they are only $1.99 these pencils are short and you can pick up this UD pencil set for $12.00 and these don’t budge!
If I was to pick up a few again I’d get Pixie, Envy, Techno and Graphite.

The nice thing about WnW is that it CONSTANTLY goes on sale so those $1.99 liners can be picked up for as little as 99 cents each when on sale.
I love WnW products, but I bought the dark blue pencil with intentions of dabbing a sheer amount on with my finger to get a bit more “pop” out of a dark blue smokey eye. I have never had a product crease on me that badly ever before, and with UDPP under it no less! I used a small amount, and I generally don’t have problems with other products such as NYX chubby pencils, paint pots, etc. So I couldn’t really believe how bad they were. I hope they’ve been reformulated since I used them a year ago, because they were just awful. I hate writing bad reviews on here or looking like I’m undermining your opinion, but I’m not sure how long you used the product for before it creased. I put it on at 2PM and it was fully creased by 6PM, just in time for me to wash it off before going anywhere, luckily.
Distressed looks really good! I like them all… but I wished they made a matte white stick. =T
