Wet n Wild Coloricon Brow & Eye Liners (new shades!)

I'm working furiously behind the scenes to bring you the new 2011 Wet n Wild releases I received recently, and today I'd like to share with you the new shades offered in the core collection Coloricon Brow & Eye Liners.

The following image is of ALL the shades in the range, but I will give you a closer look at the new shades further down in this post.

Wet n Wild Coloricon Brow & Eye Liners

(retail: $0.99)

From Wet n Wild: 

Color Icon™ Brow & Eye Liner - $0.99 SRP
Fan, makeup artist, celebrity, and just about everyone’s favorite eyeliner – revamped! Same great rich, creamy eyeliners in an improved formula and new trendy shades! Delivers a new durable wax and soy glyceride system and is fortified with Vitamin E acetate to offer lasting color that glides on effortlessly.
New Shades in Purple, Amethyst, Green and Olive.

My first memory of Wet n Wild eyeliners was watching in awe as my best friend's big sister used a lighter to warm the tip of her black eyeliner pencil. Back then, most drugstore eyeliners were extremely firm and difficult to apply to the eye area unless your warmed the tip up beforehand.

BOY have things changed! The improved formula of the Coloricon Brow & Eye Liners is so smooth and creamy! I've been applying each of these shades to my eyes in the last several days (sometimes four or five within a given day, which is crazy even for me) and they are consistently smooth as buttah.

 

Here are the NEW shades in the Brow & Eye Liner collection:

I love that all of the new shades are rich jewel-tones colors. I'm especially loving Amethyst, which I think would look amazing on green and hazel eyes.

Here are the rest of the core collection shades (not new shades, but new and improved formula):

(Turquoise is the only shade in the range that has sparkle in it--the sparkle is silver if you can't see it in my photo)

Final Verdict: After wearing these newly-reformulated liners for several days now, I can confirm that they are extremely easy to apply and are quite smooth and creamy. The pigmentation of these pencils seems to vary slightly from shade to shade (for instance, Black is not an intense black, but more of a softer black) and the metallics in this range seem to be the most packed with pigment, though I wouldn't classify any of these pencils as "weak" in pigmentation.  The staying power for me and my super-oily skin was great on my upper lids, though I found that I didn't get the same level of staying power on my bottom lids. However, I always have better luck with long-wear pencils when it comes to my oily lower-lid area.

For $0.99 each, I think Coloricon Brow & Eye Liners are an extremely affordable way to experiment with color and try some shades that you normally wouldn't wear (or want to commit to purchasing at a higher price-point). You can play around with these and maybe discover some shades that you never thought would work for you before!

Do you already own any Coloricon Brow & Eye Liners? Are you excited to try the new, improved formula and the new shades? I'd love to hear from you!
