 Swatches:

 Wet n' Wild's 383B Knock on Wood  swatches.

Packaging: Flip open plastic case, the bottom/base is Black, while the top/lid is transparent. It's also very slim and retangular, so it's very easily stored. Not the most sturdy, but not the worst. it also comes with a sponge-tip applicator and a angled brush applicator, whish is horribly cheap and scratchy, so I usually just chuck them away. 

Texture: These like many of the Wet n' Wild palettes are quite soft, which leads to powderyness and sometimes fallout. 

Pigmentation: Nicely pigmented, nothing less than what is now expected from Wet n Wild after they came out with their Coloricon line.

Longevity: Everyone has different eye shapes and skin types that can play into this, plus I normally always use a base or primer on my lids, so I can't really vouch for the longevity.

Color One by One:

Browbone - It's a matte dusty mauve with fine silver shimmers. It's not extremely pigmented, but it is decently pigmented. Honestly, I think that as a browbone shade it would look ridiculous, but as for a blending color, it's nice.

Crease - It's a satin finish cool dark brown. Pigmented, but it is initially a bit chalky and pretty powdery, so watch for fallout.

Eyelid - It's a satin finish lighter burgundy color. It is also pigmented it wasn't too bad with fallout. It's nice as a lid, but amazing paired with a green on the lid with this in the crease. 

Look using Knock on Wood: 

Overall:

4 out of 5

One off because the mauve shade isn't the most pigmented. For a Trio that I bought for 3 bucks and just wanted for the burgundy shade, I'm pleased with Knock on Wood and am pleased with the other shades. 

Would I recommend? yes.

Happy St. Patties Day~

Hope everyone is having good day, and hopefully you don't get pinched too hard, if your not wearing green. *Wince* The nostalgia of my childhood. After this post, I'll be off to Disney World, but before then here's a quick Nail of the Week/Moment.
