When I went to my drugstore and I saw the Wet n Wild display for Flashing Lights, I fell in love with one of the palettes.

I got the neutral one, #34355 Walking the Red Carpet. The reason why I fell in love with this palette is the two golds on the right, Eyelid and Crease. It's so vibrant, as well as, unique or at least from my collection. Since I already have a 8-pan ColorIcon review in Sparkle 'Til Morning, I will base this on that.

Here's a picture of the ingredients. It's extremely important to look at ingredients especially if you're allergic to certain chemicals.

Now for a look at the palette without the top. I love how Wet n Wild labels each eyeshadows, but am I the only one who doesn't follow it? :X

One of the two golds I fell in love with. Isn't it bright and gorgeous!?!?

It also comes with one eyeshadow applicator, a sponge on one side and brush on the other.

Now for swatches of this palette...

This one is from the left column; browbone, eyelid, crease, and definer.

This is the right column, browbone, eyelid, crease, and definer.

Here's two looks I did with this palette...
Look #1:

I only used the colors on the left column. It's very natural.

Here's an overall look with the first column.

Look #2:

I tried my best to only use the right column, but I believe I used the crease color from the left column.

How it looks overall.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, it's extremely pigmented when I swatch it on my hand. When it came to applying it onto my eyes, it was a different story. Most of them came out opaque except for a few, browbone and eyelid from the left column. No matter how much I applied, the colors would not show up on my MAC NC 25-30 shade. Secondly like I said above, most of the colors are not unique and you can find them in other palettes. The only reason why I purchased this is the 2 gold colors on the right, eyelid and crease. They are unique, vibrant, and just special. They also look good together and you can work a great look with just those colors. Before I move onto my last comment, Wet n Wild palettes are not travel-friendly. They are known to break so you might want to be careful with how you can them. Lastly, they're long lasting and I think it's worth $4.99 for just those 2 colors.

Would repurchase: Yes.
