Wet n' Wild Vanity palette/MAC dupes

The reformulated Wet n' Wild shadows are getting a lot of positive attention on Makeup Alley, so I bought the Wet n' Wild coloricon in Vanity palette:

Here are some swatches, no base:

Swatches against a white background:

Possible MAC dupes-on left, top to bottom: MAC Modest Tone (LE N Collection), MAC Cork, MAC Handwritten (LE Matte2) ; on right is MAC Shroom.

Left to Right: MAC Modest Tone, WnW, MAC Brule

Swatches left to right, no base: MAC Modest Tone (very faint), WnW, MAC Brule

MAC Cork with WnW:

Swatches left to right, no base: WnW, MAC Cork

This next one is a dead ringer. I can't tell the difference in person at all. The texture is the same for this one too. Swatches left to right, no base: MAC Handwritten (LE from Matte2), WnW:

MAC Shroom with WnW:

Swatches top to bottom, no base: WnW, MAC Shroom:

Hate it when my camera auto flips the pic!

SUMMARY

Colors: Many MAC dupes. MAC Goldmine, Mulch or Twinks could probably dupe the others, but I don't have those to compare.
Texture: Really soft. You can feel the shadow give in when you press it. They kind of feel like the Coastal Scents 88 shadows that are shimmery. The matte shadows feel just like the LE MAC Matte2 shadows-really smooth.
Pigmentation: Lots of color as you can see from the swatches-especially the matte ones!
Price: $4.68 USD + tax I got it at HEB for this price. I think it's a litte more expensive at drugstores
Lasting power: I will have to update on this as I try it out.
