Per the brand, they’ve reformulated their Color Icon trios into quads with an “improved” formula that “ups the ante on pigmentation.”

Lights Out, Hooked On Vinyl and Petalite have me excited for these quads respective reviews! They actually look very nice!
Yessss I am def looking at Hooked On Vinyl as well! I love that combo of warm bronzy neutrals and navy. Hope they perform well 🙂
I totally agree!
I have the original trios Walking on Eggshells and Silent Treatment (without the transition shades, obviously) and the colours in these look different – maybe it’s the quality but these new ones generally don’t look as nice. I do love the eyelid shade in Lights Out and though I love the colour, it looks quite patchy when swatched. I hope that’s just the photo…
Oops – I meant to say I like the transition shade also but that one looks patchy in the swatch…
I bought two and I’m going back for more….just as good if not better then the more, much more, expensive eye shadows I’ve bought in the past. I got mine at Walgreens. They were not with the regular Wet n Wild products. They had their own display on the end of a isle. And if you buy them at Walgreens and you don’t like them you can return it.
Patty, I’m in Canada and have no intentions of travelling to the US any time soon! I’ll wait and see if they arrive here (Walmart and PharmaPlus are 2 places that do carry WnW)
I’m not that familiar with WNW shadows, but I thought the old ones swatched better than these
Katherine, I have some of the originals (the 8 pan and 3 pans) and my reaction was a lot like yours. WnW used to have some 6 pan sets that were also really good.
Really lovely colour combinations here – nothing too way out, just everyday basic shades that work so well together. Generally the swatches look pretty good – certainly better than we have seen from some more expensive brands. I like the new design too.
These look very promising. Some of the swatches aren’t great but if they perform well over primer then you really can’t beat the price and the color combinations look great. I have Walking on Eggshells in the old style and love that palette for everyday looks and to supplement other palettes. Can’t wait for reviews.
One of the YT’s that I watch, Beauty with Emily Fox, did swatches and said the old formula was better. I’m really curious to see what you think Christine.
From looking at these swatches, the older version trios appear to be much better. It will be interesting to see your review.
Pretty much this. I have owned most of the older trios and 8 pans and these swatches don’t look as pigmented somehow.
I own the Sweet as Candy, Silent Treatment and Walking on Eggshells trios and they are more pigmented for sure. But these look promising because the formula is softer than the original I’m thinking this is close to ABH renaissance formula.

I’m SO excited for these! As long as they perform well with primer, I’m going to need them all!
Look nice and not far from some very expensive, e.x Lights Out bring me to mind DIOR quint. Looking forward for your review and hope that they will release in Greece.
These (and the 8 pans) seem really dry. They remind me of the terrible Maybelline Expert Wear quads. I’ll be holding onto my Silent Treatment trio and Comfort Zone palette for dear life now that I know I won’t be able to get the same quality anymore.
I love the color stories here, older trio/quads looked better in the formula maybe? Not sure.
