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.

Left to right: 902C Bare It All, 905D Smokin' Hot Pink, 906D Wine Room, 918D Cherry Bomb

902C Bare It All

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.

905D Smokin' Hot Pink

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!

906D Wine Room

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.

918D Cherry Bomb

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?
