Wet n WildColor Icon Eyeshadow Single - Mesmerized

WnW makes terrific eyeshadows. I love these, as well as their palettes. They are pigmented, wearable shades that last. I use the Moonchild, Envy and Mesmerized as liner shades and Nutty and Brule as all over shadows. Brule is good for smoothing out lines as it's less pigmented and matte while the others are shimmer shadows. Shimmer, not sparkly. Mesmerized is a cool aubergine, Envy a deep snakeskin green, Moonchild is a beautiful deep blue, nearly indigo and Nutty is as you'd expect, nutty, the shade of roasted almonds. Love all. I have olive green eyes and golden olive skin and these all look great with my colouring. As they are cooler shades I expect they'll be suitable for neutrals and cools as well.A note on those complaining that these are small, that they were shafted. Nonsense. If you look at the actual product amount you'll see they are 1.7 gms, which considering MAC charges six arms and a leg for 1.5 gms for the same quality of product, these are a bargain. WnW deserves credit for using far less packaging: perhaps it's the small containers that have people confused. Ads/websites/packages always list the amount of product, so it's up to the customers to do their own math.A word on Amazon's packaging, and I hope this problem has been dealt with and my words thus irrelevant. Three times I received shadows that had not been wrapped in bubble wrap and shattered to powder during shipping. Nutty, Brule and Mesmerized were shipped in bubble wrap and arrived in tact. The others I had to reassemble with contact lens solution in tiny 3 gram sample pots. However, necessity being the mother of invention I decided to perform a little experimental cosmetic chemistry and mixed Moonchild and Envy together creating a gorgeous serpentine teal. Teal being a universal shade, I think I scored. I have complained to Amazon and was reassured this problem will not repeat. And I will repurchase all shades, will also make more "Serpentine" (I have a hundred little pots for just such occasions).WnW is really rocking my world lately. I wish that I hadn't taken so long to rediscover the brand.

Mine was all gone to powder and it falls out when you open the container making a mess everywhere. I threw almost a full product in the garbage. Loved the color though.

I have three issues with this purchase:1. This one-square-inch eyeshadow arrived in a huge box. Shipping overkill and not environmentally conscientious.2. The eyeshadow was not solid upon arrival, just loose powder which went all over my sink when I opened it.3. I decided to try what little powder was still in the container. It didn’t even last a few hours before looking like three-day-old make-up job. This is sad because the shade itself is beautiful.I won’t be recommending this product to anyone based on my disappointing experience.

Great dusty purple colored shadow! Glad I purchased it!

This eye shadow came as a powder instead of the pressed powder. Still a beautiful colour though! I’ll buy the colour again but do better research.
