First Impression: Wet n Wild Fergie Jet-Set Palette

Greetings from the Dark Side!

I'm sure I'm not the only one who used to buy the huge makeup palettes back in the late 90's that had eyeshadows, lipsticks, blushes, and sometimes other crazy stuff. I used to have a bunch of them back when I first started wearing makeup. They seemed like an easy option since I didn't have much makeup, and these had a bunch of products for a low price. Most of the palettes I used were absolutely horrible; the eyeshadows were chalky and lacked pigmentation! They were truly bad products, so I decided to never buy one again.

When I first heard that Wet n Wild was releasing a palette like that for their Fergie line, I was conflicted. On the one hand, I was excited because I love Wet n Wild and I am always curious to see what they release next. On the other hand, I was not sure how I would feel about this type of all-in-one palette. I have very low expectations with palettes like these, so let's see how Wet n Wild did with their Fergie Jet-Set palette!

The Jet-Set palette has 132 shades: 72 eyeshadows, 48 lip colors, 6 blushes, 3 pencils, and 3 face powders. You can see the layout of the palette on the box below.

PROS:

-affordable

-easy to travel with

-overall great pigmentation

-smooth texture

-it includes both a brow highlight and a crease color that are semi-matte (they still have fine shimmer)

-overall better quality than previous Fergie palettes

 -the five colors in the palette go together very well; I managed to make quite a great look from the palette

CONS:

-not as pigmented as the Wet n Wild ColorIcon eyeshadows

-if you have a somewhat large makeup collection, you most likely can find something similar to the eyeshadows in this palette

-the colors are not super unique

-the silver shade in this palette is very sheer and barely shows up on my eye lids

                                                                                    Verdict                                                                  

If you have a rather large eyeshadow collection, I think you could skip this palette. The colors are nice and they have decent pigmentation, but it is likely that you already have something similar. If you have a normal-person size makeup collection, then this palette could be a great way to add some essentials into your makeup bag. It is always handy to have a nice brow bone highlight, a cool-toned brown for the crease, and a few darker colors to create a classic smokey eye. So although I don't think this is a must-have eye palette, it is definitely still a pretty great product and a great deal!

Rating: 8/10
