wet n wild Holiday Foxtrot Collection Review, Swatches, Look

We have reached what should be the final wet n wild collection of 2023. Although, it feels insane that I am writing this Christmas/holiday content in October! I present to you the wet n wild Holiday Foxtrot collection. With this line we get no new innovations, rather, limited edition colors and packaging designs of their core line tools and products. There is definitely a holiday glam feel here that avoids the standard red and green. I am reviewing the entire collection, complete with swatches, star ratings, full details, and a makeup look. I will help you to decide what you want to gift to yourself and others!

Where To Buy The wet n wild Holiday Foxtrot Makeup Collection

I will start with where you can buy the collection. The official wet n wild Holiday Foxtrot release date is unknown because the brand has not announced the collection at the time of this writing. It randomly dropped on Ulta’s website with zero warning, which is unprecedented for the brand. It was found by spoiler accounts on social media. We have no idea if it is an Ulta exclusive. Hopefully wet n wild will make an announcement and advise of any future retailers. You can get the entire collection on Ulta’s website, and possibly in stores.

wet n wild Holiday Foxtrot Liquid Highlighter & Sponge Set

First in the wet n wild Holiday Foxtrot collection is the Holiday Foxtrot Liquid Highlighter & Sponge Set. This is their Hello Halo liquid highlighter in a different package, as well as their mini sponge in a limited time color. The formula of the highlighter is incredibly buildable, allowing you to achieve a subtle, natural glow or a bold, blinding highlight. You may not like this shade if you are not into the frosty pink/blue look. Once applied, it stays put throughout the day, maintaining its luminosity without fading or settling into fine lines.

The sponge is perfectly palm-sized for on-the-go touch-ups or precise application. The miniature design is great for targeted blending in those hard-to-reach areas. The texture of the sponge is soft and bouncy, providing a smooth and even application of makeup. I found it particularly effective for blending concealer under my eyes. It expands when dampened to make it more pliable for blending but also ensures that it does not absorb an excessive amount of product.

Claims: The compact makeup sponge provided is expertly crafted to effortlessly blend the highlighter onto the elevated areas of your face, achieving an unparalleled look.

wet n wild Holiday Foxtrot 2-Piece Retractable Eyeliner Set

Second in this wet n wild Holiday Foxtrot review is the Holiday Foxtrot 2-Piece Retractable Eyeliner Set. These are really their Breakup Proof Retractable Eyeliners in limited time packaging, so you do not actually need them if you already have them. Their formula stays put all day, no matter if you wear it on the waterline or eyelid. It is smooth so that it will not tug or skip. The pigment is rich and matte, and you can smudge it out. It never irritates my eyes.

Claims: Attain intense color payoff with just one stroke using these eyeliners. The unique gel formula ensures a smoothly effortless application, delivering deeply pigmented color. They feature a retractable design for convenience.

wet n wild Holiday Foxtrot 2-Piece Makeup Sponge Set

Third for wet n wild Holiday Foxtrot makeup is the Holiday Foxtrot 2-Piece Makeup Sponge Set. I am forever an advocate of their sponges! They expand when wet to become super bouncy and never hard. They provide the most beautiful and seamless blend, all without absorbing too much product. In this set we get two limited colors of their core line sponges, with shapes to target all areas of the face.

Claims: This kit comprises a traditional teardrop-shaped sponge and an hourglass-shaped sponge, providing endless versatility. Created for use across various areas, these adaptable makeup sponges make it simple to apply makeup to both broad areas and intricate details. The distinctive hydrophilic material is crafted to reduce makeup absorption and minimize waste, ensuring that makeup effortlessly glides on.

wet n wild Holiday Foxtrot 3-Piece Makeup Brush Set

Fourth is the Holiday Foxtrot 3-Piece Makeup Brush Set. In each limited collection they keep giving us the same brushes but making a limited time handle. These are from the core line, and this design is not even that special, considering they gave us the normal pink to white bristles. With the quality, you do not need to keep buying these over and over in their collections. Their brushes are super soft and will last for years. They do a great job of blending powder makeup with ease.

Claims: Every brush in this collection is equipped with gentle vegan bristles that expertly pick up and blend products to perfection. The set comprises a powder brush, a blush brush, and a crease blending brush.

wet n wild Holiday Foxtrot Highlighter & Blush Sets

Fifth are three Holiday Foxtrot Highlighter & Blush Sets. Each set comes with a matte blush and a corresponding highlighter. They defintiely tried to target a range of skin tones, and some of the highlighters are too dark for me. A pro tip here is that you can use any highlighter that is too dark for your skintone as a blush topper. The packaging and formula reminds me a lot of the ones from the wet n wild Care Bears collection.

I find the blush to be buildable to your desired intensity, and it lasts all day, besides the fact that it blends well. The highlighter has more of a glitter formula, which may or may not be your thing. It still has the metallic look as well. You can build it too, and I did not find it to emphasize texture.

Claims: The highlighter powder is infused with iridescent pearls, providing the skin with an instant glass-like sheen for a naturally radiant glow. Enhance the effect by pairing it with the beautiful, silky blush powder for a flawless finish.

wet n wild Holiday Foxtrot Eye & Face Palettes

Next are three Holiday Foxtrot Eye & Face Palettes. These are limited time shades of their 10 pan palettes, and they are knocking it out of the park! Interestingly enough, they did not swatch the best with my finger, but they apply shockingly pigmented to the eye with a brush! That is what counts. These shadows are so bright and bold, plus they are easy to build and to blend. You get a mix of mattes, shimmers, and glitters. I love the colors provided as they give that glam holiday feel, yet they are highly wearable for every day. The shades do not have names but they are numbered one though 10 on the back.

Claims: These palettes have 10 thoughtfully selected shades with buttery matte, smooth satin, and shimmer finishes. Each shade glides on effortlessly, achieving perfection in an instant.

wet n wild Holiday Foxtrot Mascara & Eyelash Curler Set

Here is the Holiday Foxtrot Mascara & Eyelash Curler Set. This is their core line eyelash curler, they did not even change the color. I have been using it daily ever since it dropped years ago – it is that good! It truly grabs every lash and gives you a lift, without pinching or causing any pain. The mascara is their Mega Volume formula, also in the same packaging. It always leaves something to be desired with volume, but you get some length. It is a drier formula but it is ready to go right away.

Claims: Curl and lift your lashes effortlessly with the user-friendly tool designed to accommodate any eye shape. Follow it up by applying one or two coats of volumizing mascara for striking lashes that add drama to any look.

wet n wild Holiday Foxtrot Lip Liner & Gloss Sets

Last are three Holiday Foxtrot Lip Liner & Gloss Sets. Each set features a new shade of their signature lipgloss formula, paired with a perfectpout Gel Lip Liner pulled right from the core line. I wish they would make more lip glosses that pefectly pair with their liners! We first got liner and gloss lip kits in the wet n wild Wild Crush collection, and I still reach for the liners today.

These liners have been my go-to’s since they dropped many years ago, and I cannot imagine why they discontinued most of them. The gel formula is fully pigmented and matte, yet it is always comfortable and never dry. It is also smooth and creamy so it never tugs or skipps.

wet n wild lip gloss is thick and juicy on the lips, yet it never feels sticky or heavy. It is simply the best! They always find a way to pack an unexpected amount of pigment in their formula. Feel free to re-apply as needed.

Claims: Define your lips flawlessly using the gel lip liner, and then fill them in with the corresponding lip gloss for a high-shine appearance, featuring a stunning burst of color.
