Wet n' Wild Mega Last Lip Color - Mega Color! Mega Wear! Mini Price! - Bare It All, Smokin' Hot Pink, Wine Room, Cherry Bomb

Wet n' Wild Mega Last Lip Color

I have been on such a Wet n' Wild kick lately.  Everything I'm trying I am loving and in disbelief of the price tag.  One of my good friends from makeupalley.com (and also from real life) basically made it her mission that I try these lipsticks.  In a period of chatting online over the course of the day, she had left her desk twice to get go get these lippies.

Was this enthusiasm well deserved?  Oh yes.  I got these four colors at a local Walgreens and quickly unsealed them as soon as I got home.  Holy schnikes!  These are pigmented.  They literally stained my arms during swatching.  Wet n' Wild claims that these lippies have 4 hours of wear.  In my opinion, Wet n' Wild is underestimating.  I wore Wine Room for an entire day and only had to lightly touch up after eating lunch.

The texture on these lipsticks were dry but not drying.  If you've tried Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Intense, they are similar in the vein of texture.  The pigmentation and color pay-off is really insane.  And are you ready for the best part?  They are $2.99.

This nudey beige is a very pretty, non-dulling shade against my NC30/35 skin.  What I liked about it is that it covered the blue,purple pigmentation of my lips and left me with a very neutral look.  I will definitely grab this when I do an intense smoky eye and want to play down my lips.

This is my favorite of the four.  What a perfectly pretty pink for spring!  It's not too bright or pushing fuchsia where I couldn't wear this to work.  I think it just brightened my whole face.  I love this one!

At first, I got Smokin' Hot Pink and Wine Room confused.  From the tube, they are pretty similar.  I had to keep checking the label to make sure I knew which one was which.  But on, Wine Room is a little deeper, a little more muted.  This dusty rose is nice for everyday or if you like Smokin' Hot Pink but want something a little more subtle.

Hello Daddy!  Hello Mom!  I'm you're ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb!  This vampy dark red was probably my least favorite of the bunch.  Not because I didn't like the shade, but it just seemed to tug a little more than the others.  I would definitely recommend a liner or using a lipbrush when applying this color.  I had difficulty keeping within my lip shade straight from the tube (a problem I usually don't have with even the most diffcult of reds).  However, I have to say once it's on... it's on.  This shade is soooooooo pigmented.   It stained the arm I swatched it on for hours, even after multiple washings and MAC wipes!  So kudos for staying power.

The Runaways with Cherry Bomb.  What shade would Joan Jet wear?


Wet n' Wild Mega Last Lip Color is $2.99 and comes in 20 shades.  They are available at drugstores and mass retailers nationwide.

Have you tried these yet?  Are you skeptical when it comes to drugstore products?  What's the last drugstore product that wow'ed you?

Wet n' Wild Color Icon Trio in Silent Treatment Eyeshadow Palette - Swatches, Photos, EOTD

Don't give me the Silent Treatment.

I am LOVING these Wet n' Wild eyeshadows.  $2.99 for some seriously beautiful and quality shades.  My coffee usually costs more than this.  Silent Treatment is another fabulous trio recently released by Wet n' Wild.  This set holds a soft pale shimmery shade for highlight, a sparkly black for liner  and a soft taupe-y grey for the lid.  This is a great everyday trio.

I'm going to stash this set at my desk at work.  These shades would go with any outfit, and I can easily use these colors to create a smoky look if I'm headed out after a day at the office.  I love how I can afford to buy two.  :)

Actually, please *do* give me the Silent Treatment.
Swatches.
EOTD.  MAC Dark Diversion Fluidline as eyeliner with the black shade on top (why it seems slightly burgundy).

 
Love this for everyday.
Are you getting enough of these Wet n' Wild eyeshadows?  I need more!

Silent Treatment Color Icon Trio is available at Walgreens, CVS and mass retailers nationwide.  $2.99 for 3.5g, 0.12oz.

Wet n' Wild Color Icon Trio in I'm Getting Sunburned Eyeshadow Palette - Swatches, Photos, EOTD

I'm Getting Sunburned Eyeshadow Trio from Wet n' Wild.

Do you like hunting?  I do.  Of course, I'm talking about tracking down makeup and beauty items.  Sometimes there is such a rush in the thrill of the hunt.  Then you feel such a rush when you finally get the item you are looking for.

That's what it was like with these new Wet n' Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trios.  I have beens scouring my local drugstores for weeks, and I finally ran into them at a Walgreens recently.  I was PSYCHED! 

This eyeshadow trio was worth the hunt.  The shadows were very smooth and creamy.  There was a slight fallout issue with the darkest shade, but I find dark formulas with tiny micro glitters (like the Nars night series) just tend to have fallout.  So when you apply on your brush make sure to shake off any excess.  Other than that, these applied very well and were on par with many department store brands.  Best part...?  This palette is $2.99.
 I'm Getting Sunburned Trio holds a frosty cool pink, a shimmering brown black with pink shimmer and a sparkling warm copper gold.
 Here is a soft EOTD with I'm Getting Sunburned.
 Can you believe this look cost less than a latte?

I definitely want more of these Wet n' Wild Color Icon eyeshadow trios!  I have one more that I purchased with this one, but I will definitely be back to Walgreens for more.  Have you tried these yet?

Wet n' Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio in I'm Getting Sunburned is $2.99 for 3.5g, 0.12oz and available at drugstores nationwide.

Wet n' Wild Megalast Nail Color in Blackmail - Swatches and Photos

 Have you ever been blackmailed?

I don't think I've ever been blackmailed, but Marlowe's sad eyes have totally guilted me to giving him some carrot or apple when he looks especially cute and pathetic.

Wet n' Wild Megalast Nail Color in Blackmail is a black jelly with itsy bitsy tiny orange and green micro glitter.  In the bottle, I thought it had the potential to be interesting in the bottle and fantastic on the nail.  It turns out that it's just really meh on both.  I think I had high hopes that this would be a hidden drugstore gem, but it turns out that it's just ok.  However, the price tag of $1.99 doesn't hurt. 
 This was 3 coats.

What are your drugstore hidden gems?  When do you know when you see a beauty product diamond in the rough?  

P.S. Happy Friday!

Wet n' Wild - Wild Shine Fall 2010 Collection - Limited Edition



Wet n' Wild - Wild Shine Collection Display

Seriously folks. What's not to love about Wet n' Wild. For $0.99 you get a decent bottle of nail polish in an array of colors and, from time to time, they come out with fun collections like Wild Shine for Fall 2010. These colors are limited edition, but there are some bottles that are perm that are simply relabeled.

Nouveau Cheap and KarenD have already written about dupes within the Wet n' Wild brand from the collection. Please check out their posts!

Midnight
Midnight is violet purple with multi-color holographic glitter.
Very vibrant!

Midnight - 2 coats with 1 coat top coat.
2 coats top coats would probably be ideal for a smoother finish.

Midnight

Midnight is supposedly a dupe for a long-gone discontinued Wet n' Wild shade called Wild Orchid. I don't own Wild Orchid, but Chloe from Chloe's Nails did a comparison of the bottles. Click here to view her review of this collection.

Fireworks - a mix of micro yellow gold glitter with holographic octagonal bits.

Fireworks - 4 coats.
Would look sparkling over black.

Fireworks


Tipsy - a golden peach glitter.

I put Tipsy over orange creme for Halloween.
It added just the right amount of subtle sparkle.

Tipsy

Tipsy reminded me a bit of Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure's Golden Ticket. The shade of gold is very similar, but Golden Ticket is really dense in application (lots of glitter per stroke). I can get almost complete coverage with two coats of Golden Ticket and Tipsy above is pictured at 4.

If you would like me to do a side-by-side comparison, let me know in the comments below.


Extravaganza - a cool fleckled glass red with bits of red and gold shimmer.

Extravaganza - reminds me slightly of Ali's Big Break from OPI's Burlesque.
A similar glass finish, but Ali's Big Break stands out more as a red.
Extravaganza is the muted version.


Extravaganza - 2 coats with top coat.


BONUS! I was really impressed with these and picked up Spectacle too. Spectacle is a pink, purple, silver glitter.

Spectacle
3 coats pinkie and ring, 4 coats middle and index.
