Wet n Wild Go For The Gold Limited Edition Collection for Summer 2011, Swatches Photos & Review
Another amazing limited edition Wet n Wild collection out folks!
This one is just two pieces and it’s called Go For The Gold.
The pieces include a Color Icon bronzer called Everything Under The Sun and a Color Icon Eye Shadow Trio called The Gilded Age. Believe me when I say, you do not want to miss out on these if you love shimmery warm metallic shades!
Wet n Wild Everything Under The Sun
Wet n Wild Everything Under The Sun
Everything Under The Sun bronzer melds 5 colors into one beautiful overall warm shade of a slightly rosey gold.
The bronzer is very soft to the touch and nicely pigmented. I don’t think it’s too dark for my skin tone and I’m an NC20.

Wet n Wild The Gilded Age
The Gilded Age is a shadow trio that features a copper colored metallic, a deep shimmery bronze/brown and a metallic warm gilded gold.
INSANE. That is truly how I felt when I first touched these. They are super, duper soft and VERY pigmented. I barely touched them and got so much color. The colors are all gorgeous on their own or together. This might be my favorite Color Icon Trio yet!
Overall:
Love both of these pieces and will definitely be wearing them all summer. I especially love The Gilded Age, it’s just an amazing eye shadow set!
Availability: Out now but have heard it’s very hard to find!
Pricing: $2.99 each
Sooooooooooooooo whaddya think? Do you NEED these both?

Welcome! My name is Kelly and Vampy Varnish is a animal friendly beauty blog.
Wowwwwwwww, I need The Gilded Age!! I wear colors like those a lot and they look beautiful! I’m going to look for them today!
So much bronzy summer goodness!
wow!! these are so pretty!!
I so badly want Wet n Wild!! but I don’t get it here in my country..
I snatched up The Gilded Age when the CVS manager was still standing there flattening the box the display came in. I passed on the bronzer mostly because I don’t know how to wear bronzer and since I’ve got this ridiculously fair Irish thing going on I was afraid I couldn’t work it. But the shadows….love love love. Little teeny bit of Eyeshadow Insurance and it goes for hours.
OMG those eyeshadows are RIDICULOUS they’re so awesome!! And how retro is that bronzer–so very cool!
Those are sooo pretty and perfect for Summer. Sadly, my chances of finding them in my area are about as good as my being crowned Miss America. In other words, not going to happen. *sigh* Stupid podunk smaller town stores, anyway.
That trio is beautiful. Dang, I wish W&W would get their distribution figured out, because I can never find any of these newer items, no matter how many Rite Aids, CVS stores or Walgreens I go to. And Target and Walmart? Forget about it! They never have anything new.
Tha eyeshadows are the best trio combo ever!! If I manage to own them I’ll wear them mostly during fall (don’t wear much brown on summer, although it’s my fave color).
Yep, I NEED them! But WnW is sold here in Finland only at one low cost clothes chain… They are not that interested in selling any LE’s, I think >:(
WANT. ALL. LOVE. lol
I wish my local drugstores would carry limited edition collections! But nooo, the aisles where they should put them are filled with nasty cheap perfume rip-offs and “As Seen On TV” items. Ugh.
i have checked every walgreens, rite aid, and cvs in rhode island and boston-area and can’t find this (or any other wet and wild LE products) at all
I’ve also been looking at said stores in the Boston area to no avail- grrrr
Must find this shadow.
Hi Kelly! I love them! Where in SF did you manage to find them? I’ve been combing my drugstores to no avail and have only spotted the Sally Hansen Tracy Reese/Prabal Gurung LE n/p, but never the Gilded Age and Everything Under the Sun!
I found the Gilded Age about a week ago at my CVS and snatched it up. I love the colors.
Argh I need that Gilded Age set ASAP! The other one is too dark for me also, which is sad because I’m on the hunt to replace something similar I have that’s been discontinued.
Own & LOVE!!! ^_^
love the swatches.. want to try wet n wild eyeshadow soon!
I have the Gilded Age and love it too! It is just as good (if not better) than some of the shades in the Urban Decay Naked Palette….and for $2.99? C’mon, that is amAzing! Love it! I want to try the bronzer now!
Those colors are so amazing; especially for the price! I really want the eyeshadow but nowhere anywhere near me ever carries the LE stuff! So frustrating!
omg I NEED that eyeshadow. Now I will be going to every drug store in the DC area looking for it!!!
OMG…I so have to have the eyeshadow and I might actually have to get the bronzer even though I’ve never used bronzer before!!
I really like the look of the e/s trio but I haven’t seen it. No one seems to carry the new WnW around me for the last few months. Just the same old, same old.
Love the shadows! Can’t believe they are only $2.99!
Still haven’t bought any of these Wet n’ Wild. Love these type of metallic shades. Gorgeous.
How different is The Gilded Age from I’m Getting Sunburned? They look like the same colors to me, only slightly more metallic.
Hi Lisa,
I’m Getting sunburned includes a pink, dark chocolate brown and dark warm gold. They are all pretty different colors than the ones in this. Here are my swatches of I’m Getting suburned so you can see: http://www.vampyvarnish.com/2011/03/wet-wild-color-icon-eyeshadow-trios-spring-2011-swatches-photos-review/
Wow, These are gorgeous. Are these even out yet or they a fall preview?
Hi steph_gem,
They are out and seem to be hard to find from what people are telling me in the comments…
I saw this a few days ago and snatched it up! I’d love to see you do a look with this!
Ohhh when can we get it in store? I just checked cvs but thing new
Hi Katherine,
They have been out for a few months (my posts mentions that) but are hard to find.
I’d been keeping my eyes open for these at home and never saw them anywhere. Luckily I’m in Chicago right now, spotted them and grabbed up the shadow trio right away, wore it yesterday for my cousin’s bridal shower. Now I’m kind of wishing I’d grabbed the bronzer too, maybe next time I’m out I will!
That trio is gorgeous! But I’m sure I have color similar:( These are very pigmented though
Heads up: if you have a Harmon Face Values store by you, I’d definitely go check there. I checked 26 Walgreens/Winn-Dixie/CVS/Albertsons stores in two cities near me (no joke) and found nothing, not even the displays. I’d never been in a HFV, and I spent a good amount of money picking up items from every other limited edition collection from other brands. Sadly, although I found the display for the Go for the Gold collection, the eyeshadows were all gone. So I’m out of luck at this point, but it’s worth it to check HFV because they have EVERYTHING there.
Hi, is this still available in stores or sold out? Thank you
Hi Liliana,
Depends on what store, I am sure some places it’s sold out, sorry!
It seems like those who have found these have found them at CVS. I have been going to my local CVS on a weekly basis and I haven’t found it yet. My CVS doesn’t even have a WnW display.
Thank you for responding
I found them today at Fred Meyer’s (I am in Seattle) so I suppose they were not out yet in my area. I have to say that I am just delighted with the shadows they put out lately so I was really looking forward to find these ones ( and a few from the dream weavers, I got those too). Thank you for your posts- love your style.
