Review: Wet n Wild Megalast Liquid Lip Color in Red My Mind

Hello to my Lippie Lovers out there. Today I have a review for a liquid lipstick from the drugstore! It is the Wet n Wild Megalast Liquid Lip Color in 921A Red My Mind.


The Breakdown:

Price: $2.99
Contains: 0.23 Ounces
Scent: Very Very Faint Chemical
Available: Online and at most Drugstores













Part One: Packaging

I'm actually quite impressed with the packaging seeing as it's only a $2.99 product. The packaging is not much different than most liquid lipsticks, except for maybe that it feels like a cheaper plastic than the more expensive ones, but for the price, who cares?! The applicator itself takes a little getting used to, it's like a fat paddle, or like maybe a squished doe foot? It's hard to explain, but it does pickup quite a bit of product, though it was a little hard to get a clean line. I'll give packaging a 4 out of 5.

Can you tell by the picture that it's near V-Day???
Part Two: Color

Woah. I'm mean damn does this lipstick pack a huge punch of color. You want some bold ass red lips, this is the place to be, One swipe and wow, RED. The color is just a perfect blue based red, but it is not for the faint at heart, this is some serious boldness here. 5 out of 5 for Color.


Part Three: Formula

Here is where i'm torn, and it's the same place that always gives me pause when I try out a new liquid lipstick. There seem to be only two kinds: comfortable and tacky that transfers, or long lasting no transfer super dry. This one is the dry kind. The website claims: "These intense liquid lip colors are completely transfer-proof and last up to 8 hours – while moisturizing!" Okay, so it is intense, and it is transfer proof, and it does easily last 8 hours (if you stay away from oily foods) but it is NOT moisturizing. Not in the least, after a couple of hours you start to get what is known as the dreaded "Butthole" lips. Dry as a desert. Now if you don't mind throwing a gloss over the top of this, or just don't mind wearing drying lipstick, it would be fine, but this stuff is super dry. But, that depends on what you are looking for. You can kiss and drink and everything and this stuff isn't going anywhere! Also, it's worth noting that it dries VERY quickly so you have to work fast, and it doesn't really layer very well either. I'm going to give the formula a 3 out of 5 as I prefer a more comfortable to wear liquid lipstick, but when I need some long lasting color that packs a punch, I do pull this one out.




Final Verdict:

So this is not bar far a BAD lipstick, it's just not necessarily my favorite, but for a true liquid lipstick from the drugstore, and for only $2.99? Worth it! Also that punch of color it gives makes up for any dryness it causes.

4 out of 5 Lippies.

Review: Wet N Wild MegaLast Lipstick in Stop Light Red

Hello again Fellow Lippie Lovers!

Today I have a review for the Wet N Wild MegaLast Lipstick in Stoplight Red.





The Breakdown:

Price: $1.99 - $2.50
Contains: 0.11 ounces
Scent: No Scent
Available: Online
and at most Drugstores










Part One: Packaging

Okay, so this lipstick is $1.99 and at that price you can't expect much with the packaging, and with this lipstick you won't get much. The packaging is cheap, flimsy plastic that gets product all over the place. If this lipstick was $20 this would for sure be a huge blow toward that final verdict, but at the price you can get it, I don't hold the packaging against the lipstick. But for reference, the packing is only a 2 out of 5.


Part Two: Color

Wowzers does this thing pack a punch when it comes to color. This is the most vibrant velvety red I've ever worn. Every time I wear this color someone stops me to ask me what color I'm wearing, or just to complement my lip color (and I mean EVERY SINGLE TIME). I was even asked at a M.A.C. store what color I was wearing. Sometimes I just smile because I know a little secret that M.A.C. just doesn't get. The color of this lipstick is an outstanding 5 out 5, but beware this color is not for the faint of heart. But if you want some very bold red lips... This is what you need in your life. But if this color is too bold for you, there are 25 more colors to choose from in this range.

Part Three: Formula

So according to the Wet N Wild Website, these are actually classified as a Demi-Matte. Well, whatever the classification, can I have some more please? These are by far my favorite lipstick that comes in a bullet (I have a different favorite for Liquid Lipstick) and I find myself picking it up more than any other lipstick I own, period. It feels so velvety on the lips, and while it does dry into more of a matte finish as you wear it, it never clumps or clings or does any other weird thing. It is definitely not transfer proof, but as it starts to wear away (after quite a long time I might add) it does leave a nice stain behind. I wore this color for 12 hours and I only had to touch up once after I ate dinner, and it was just a little touch up. Re-Applying is also easy as it is smooth and doesn't make clumpy bits or anything.. Over all, this lipstick is better than most high end lipsticks I have tried, and they have a lot of colors to choose from. Formula gets a resounding 5 out of 5.

Lipstick at 12 hours of wear and only 1 touch-up at about 8 hours.


Final Verdict:

This lipstick is just perfection in a little tube. Not taking the packaging into account due to this being such an inexpensive product I give this lipstick a...

5 out of 5 Lippies.
