Boy, was that one heck of a title or what!Īnyways, hey guys! Back again (finally) for another review.Summer across this city means two things: day drinking and desperate attempts to stay cool. This is an exciting one! This one is on the new Wet N Wild Megalast Lipsticks from their Fall 2015 “Here’s to the Wild Ones” Limited Edition collection (in case that wasn’t clear in the title). These lipsticks are priced at just $1.99 a stick, which is a super steal. The shades are mostly fall-oriented shades with a few pops of color thrown in. I love the original megalast lipsticks, so I as soon as I saw these on the display shelf of Rite Aid, I snatched them up. Let’s take a closer look!Īlright, so, to start things off, I’ll admit it: I’m a major Wet N Wild stan. I love most of their products and find their quality to be way better than what you would expect from their price point (seriously, get the Walking on Eggshells trio just for that bottom pink champagne shade. At first I just grabbed up two of them that I thought would fit me best, but then I figured I may as well go back and pick up the other four to review for you guys, so that’s what I did! So, of course, when I happened to walk through the makeup aisle in Rite Aid (as I tend to do), I found the display that housed these 6 new shades of lipstick along with 6 new limited edition nail polish shades. These are all very creamy (if not too creamy) and ultra pigmented, and are great quality for just $1.99. ![]() I find these to generally be more creamy and shiny than the original Megalast shades, but they are in no way glittery or shimmery. They are a true cream finish and can set to a matte color if left on the lips undisturbed for a while. I don’t want to write too much of an overview on them reviewing ’em since they all are kind of different, so I’ll leave it up to the individual reviews to tell you more about them. This orange-based red is really a pretty pop of color. At first I was reluctant to buy it, since I don’t generally like to wear red lipsticks, but I did it for the sake of reviewing these and turned out to be pleasantly surprised. The orange tone in it makes it appear even brighter. The formula itself is creamy, but not too creamy (you’ll see what I mean later on). Since it’s a rather creamy formula, it does transfer a bit so don’t expect to make it through the entire day without touching it up, but this bad boy can handle a meal and stay put. This shade was another I was hesitant to buy. I gravitate towards plums, purples, neutral pinks, and nudes, so a super bright pink color didn’t make me get all giddy. But again, pleasantly surprised! It’s bright, but not extremely neon looking. ![]() It’s like, if a bright pink had a baby with a baby doll/barbie pink, but then turned it down a notch.
