Hi everyone, is it just me, or did the summer go by really quickly this year?! I found it a bit odd when my favorite drugstore brand, Wet n Wild, didn't release new summer shadows like they did last year. However, they actually did and I was just very,
very late to the game! I noticed the empty displays in late August and basically rushed to find the whole collection before stores ran out. After much traveling, I finally got everything, which included 6 eyeshadow trios, 4 nail polishes, and 2 new balm stains! The collection is called "Summer Festival" and looks very similar to last summer's "Pop Art Craze" collection.
Without further ado, let's get to the pictures.

Overall, the shades in this year's collection are very fun and bright. A majority of them are also matte, so it would suit a lot of matte lovers. The set I loved the most is Who's Carpooling? because of the beautiful colors; they really reminded me of Earth! I found a few shades in the collection that were a bit dry, sheer, and hard to pick up, but there were more hits than misses. The sheer shadows can definitely be built up too. I think No Scalpers Allowed is a nice set to pick up as well; the blurple may be sheer, but it's definitely very beautiful and unique when built up.

Wet n Wild's Balm Stains are one of my very favorite products from them so I'm extremely glad I found these two limited edition shades. I find the formula so comfortable on the lips and most of them have good coverage, if not downright opaque. If you can still find the collection in stores, I really recommend them. Limited edition sets are the same price as their normal permanent products, which means the trios are $3/ea, nail polishes are $1/ea (what a steal!), and balm stains are also $3/ea. If you're really lucky, you'll find several of these items on sale too. Happy hunting!
