Wet 'n Wild Coloricon Shadows - Not a Fan!!!

This is my FIRST purchase of a Wet n Wild Product!

I purchased two eye shadow palettes:  248 Lust Desir and 247 Pride Orgueil.  Overall, I liked the variety of colors in the palette and I liked that some had a bit more shimmer to them than others; 3 are matte and 3 are effects shadows. I  have commented before that I prefer palettes that offer more than just one finish, like shimmers only, so this was a plus. The shadows felt nice and creamy to the touch and were definitely true to packaging.  In fact, I would say they were dead on.  The shades were also very easy to blend. 

However, I experienced quite a bit of fall out or just overall sloppiness when trying to apply.  The powders were a bit "fly away" for my liking.  I found that when applying they tended to want to drift beyond the area of application.  For example, when applying in the crease of my eye, they tended to want to float outside of the outer corners of my eyes making the application fairly sloppy.  Once I cleaned up the fall out, the colors were nice, but I just tend to expect more from my shadows.  I realize these are not high dollar shadows, but this is the type of shadow that all beginners will start with and it makes it hard to learn to apply make up properly when the application is messy.  I think there are better shadows out there for not much more money.
