It seems that I just can't get enough of red and pink lipsticks! You may notice that often my lipstick reviews cover similar colors; however, I think pinks and reds are those universal colors that look beautiful on any skin complexion. Plus, depending on how deep the shade, they are completely suitable for any occasion.
As you already know, I'm a huge fan of Wet 'n Wild products and while in Walgreens one evening, I found their new Mega Last Lip Color products. I grabbed one and ran home. I have to admit, though. The first time I tried the product, it was in a different color and I didn't like it.
After some tips on how to wear them in this beauty group, I decided to try it again with the shade that appears to be the most popular. I grabbed the MegaLast Liquid Lip Color in Red My Mind.

My Thoughts
There is an upside as well as a downside to this product. If you do not exfoliate your lips or use lip balm daily, this product will suck the moisture from your lips and cause them to look and feel extremely dry while wearing this product. In order to really see the benefits of this lip color, you must apply a lip balm beforehand. I also recommend a gloss or balm on top. This lip color alone can still be drying without prior applied lip balm, but not as severe.
I truly enjoyed wearing this lip color. In fact, I wore it in my recent eShakti review. I was able to wear this color for around four hours; however, due to the gloss added on top, it did disappear once I ate lunch that day. Without the clear gloss, I know it would have lasted all day. Plus, the color is gorgeous! For removal, I highly suggest makeup remover or Vaseline.
Would I Recommend & Re-Purchase?
Of course! I feel that Wet 'n Wild is one of the best drugstore makeup brands you can find and the one reason I return to their lip products often is because of the longevity. Plus, if you don't care for the lip product, you can always return it since popular drugstores such as CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aid have satisfaction guaranteed policies.
Have you spotted this in your local drugstore?
God bless & stay fabellis,
Nice lip color, this looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to sound crazy but I hardly ever think to try new lip colors. This color does look like the perfect dupe for the Mary Kay red lipgloss I just got a couple weeks ago. I'll have to look for this one by Wet n Wild when I'm ready for another red.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chantel! It would look great on you too, I'm sure. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't sound crazy at all. When I find something that works, I know I tend to stick to it myself. This would definitely be an inexpensive option though when you go for another red. Thanks for stopping by again girl! :-)
