I’ve been itching to get my hands on some bolder lip colors for fall and winter.  But I’m kind of chicken and wasn’t sure that I could pull them off.  Plus, I’m extremely picky about how products feel on my lips.

Enter: Wet ‘n Wild.
I know.  You guys are going to start to think I get a commission from recommending their products (I don’t).  But with how I rave on and on about the megalast polishes I should.  Well, now you can add the Megalast lipsticks to the mix.
I’ll be honest.
I had very low expectations.
I was really just picking up a few colors to test to see if I could even handle wearing dark colors.  I had zero intentions of actually liking the product.
Let me be clear here. 
These lipsticks are $1.99.
$1.99
Oh.  
And like usual, the drugstore (CVS) was running a deal at the time 
(until Sunday if you’re interested).  
Buy one get one 50% off.  
I bought several.
Here’s what their website claims about this product.
4 HOUR, LONGWEARING LIP COLOR LEAVES A SEMI-MATTE, CREME FINISH IN ONE STROKE!


And y’all?  It actually lives up to the website claims which in my opinion almost never happens even with higher end products.  I feel like people get a little sell happy in those descriptions and we’re set up for disappointment.  But the color applied evenly in one stroke.  It lasted even through eating cereal.  And it was comfortable.
  • I originally applied at 9:30 AM.
  • I ate cereal at 10:30AM
  • I didn’t have to reapply until 2:30 after eating a subway sandwich.
I’m so glad I picked up several of these–and I’m sure I’ll be buying more as we shift into different seasons.  
Wet n’ Wild is just my jam, y’all.

  1. Wow! This totally makes me want to hit up CVS on the way home from work today. I've been noticing that I need more color on my lips in all my fashion posts. But I'm like you… can't really tell if it's something I can pull off. But for less than $2 I can certainly give it a shot. Thanks for sharing the details!

  5. I have a couple of these lipsticks but hadn't tried them out yet. I bought them strictly because I liked the colors so much… and since they're so cheap you don't have to feel guilty if it doesn't turn out. You look GOOD in that color though! I'd like to try a deep color like that, too, I'll have to keep an eye out!

  10. I have this color!! I read that it was a dupe for Rebel a while back and ordered it online (Amazon so I definitely paid more than $1.99 haha) but I've been too chicken to wear it. I tried it on and it is BRIGHT on me.

  11. Ohhhh I'm definitely going to need to check these out. I'm super picky about my lip products as well and it can be very difficult to find long lasting color that doesn't bug the heck out of me!
