Wet N Wild Mega Last lipcolor review.

Uh....Wait...These are drugstore? That's exactly what you're gonna say when you try these! Seriously. The quality is crazy good. Pigmented, semi matte, long lasting, unscented, and they come in a great variety of colors. Sold on them yet? So pigmented that you might have to apply with a lip brush if you don't like so much pigment. I do though, so I just use straight from the tube. I don't usually get excited for colors that aren't red, but when I saw these I had to have more than just the reds. Plus at around $3 (got them at Walgreens) each ,why not? So budget friendly you could get them all, on the same day even! You get so much product at 0.11 oz or 3.3g (MAC l/s are 3.0g at 14.50 each). A thickly pigmented l/s with tons of product for just $3?? Yes, please!
Every color I have is beautiful. But their reds are incredible! Absolutely love 910 Red Velvet and 911 Stoplight red. 911 is bright, and 910 is BRIGHT. Blinding bright! I LOVE It! If you think Revlon matte Really Red is red, nu uh, this one is. It out reds Really Red. Really Red gets blinded by this one. Trust the Sonia.
Another thing I like is the packaging.  It's nice and sturdy, not at all what I expected at 3 bucks. Now, they aren't Hourglass packaging of course, but they're nice sturdy black plastic tube with a clear lid. Only thing I don't like about these is that the names aren't written on the bottom, just the number is, name comes off when you take off the wrapper. Here are the pictures!

L-R 918 Cherry Bomb (dark wine), 905 Smokin' Hot Pink (dark smokey pink), 902 Bare It All (cool nude, best when sheered out IMO, I don't like full on nude), 919 Vamp It Up (dark eggplant), 916 Ravin' Raisin (grape), 907 Mauve Outta Here (bright pink mauve), 911 Stoplight Red (red), 910 Red Velvet (RED), and 903 Just Peachy (Warm nude peach. THE perfect nude for us darker ladies).

Be careful when putting on the lid, the l/s doesn't go down all the way. Avoid doing what I did to 910 with the lid.





(With flash) Same order as the l/s army. So long lasting that I had to scrub my arm down with tons of oil to get them off.
I really love how far Wet N Wild has come they've really stepped up their game. In my opinion It's comparable to HE. From the e/s, to the blushes, to these l/s. Even the Color Icon eyeliners! Those are amazing as well! Everything I've tried from  WnW Color Icon has been pigmented and high quality, and these definitely don't fall short.
I really recommend you give their l/s a try! If you don't know which to start with (if you're scared of reds) I recommend either Mauve Outta here or Just Peachy, those are my non red favs. Hope this review was helpful! Alright, I gotta go get the mail! :)

I'm in love...With Wet n Wild holiday palettes.



I went everywhere, called everywhere looking for these. I couldn't find them anywhere near me. Finally, I decided to call a Walgreens 30 minutes away from me, and they had them! So I actually made the 30 minute trip, out of love. When I finally arrived, I had to calm myself down and hold back from fanning myself in public when I saw them. They are gorgeous. O...M...G. Six beautifully coordinated eye shadows in each palette. They are seriously so stunning. The quality is fabulous. They're pigmented, soft, and long lasting. Some don't even need a primer. I only got 3, Night Elf, Golden Goddess, and Sugar Plum. Colors range from sheer shimmers, pigmented and shimmery, to pigmented with fine glitter. If you don't have these I definitely recommend them. You'll love them as much as I do! I'm so glad these came out during the holidays because they colors fit perfectly.
Swatches!

Sugar Plum

The 1st is a sheer white with purple shimmer (tdf!), 2nd a light pink mauve with very fine silver glitter,  3rd a light lavender WITH GOLD SHIMMER omg, 4th a medium purple mauve with gold shimmer (fans self), 5th a metallic grape purple, and 6th a dark blackened plum purple. Makes a HOT, I'm talking HOT sex kitten smokey eye. Amazing!! Add this color to my smokes for browns list.




Night Elf

The 1st shadow is a white highlighter and the 2nd a metallic silver. In the pan, the 3rd shadow looked like It was going to be a dupe of MAC Patina. But swatched It was more golden. Then the 4th shadow is a red with slight red shimmer. Swatched dry It's a light red, over primer It brings out the full blown red. The 5th shadow (brown with green duochrome) is a close dupe of MAC Club and Too Faced Label Whore. I think It's closer to Label Whore since they both have more green to them. The black shadow is a close dupe for MAC Black Tied. Black Tied is very dry and gritty, which is hard to work with. This one is softer and the glitter isn't gritty. I couldn't get the black to come off my finger, It just wanted to stick to the primer I had leftover on my finger. Oops!


Golden Goddess

The first shadow is a sheer white with light gold shimmer. Beautiful highlighter. The 2nd is a peach with gold shimmer (this ones my fav, ugh, so hot), very pigmented and soft. Then the next 3 are similar. A gold, a bronze, and an bronzish orange, with gold shimmer. The last color is a dark brown with slight plum to it. Very slight. With find gold glitter. It's super freaking hot! Makes a great smokey eye.
 First picture was taken with flash, 2nd with bright natural lighting. I'm talking full blown sunlight. It felt like my arm was being cooked! Hope this review was helpful! Now, go stock up on these before they're gone! They are on FIYAH!

Love,

Sonia
