Wild For Wet 'N' Wild Lipsticks!

Okay, so I have a confession to make...  I love Wet 'n' Wild Lipsticks!!! I am pretty sure that these are going to be a new obsession of mine. I know that these lipsticks have been around for ages; I remember them when I was a teenager, but completely disliked them because they would completely dry out my lips and had a funny smell I could not tolerate.


But, when I was at Walgreens about a month or so ago, I came across a sell on Wet 'n' Wild products for 40% off! HELLO!!! I went a tad crazy on makeup that day, and yes, I did buy a few lipsticks to try out in shades that I needed (yes, I said NEEDED) to add to my collection. Even though in the past I never liked their products, I have noticed that they have truly stepped it up when it comes to their eyeshadows, so I thought, Hey, for about sixty cents or so, if I end up not liking these lipsticks it's not like I spent a fortune on these babies.


Well, when I took these home, I immediately tried one on and swatched the rest of them and I fell head over heels in love! And I will tell you why I say this...


First of all what captured my attention was the fact that the color was extremely pigmented. I am one of those girls who prefer a good pigment to my lipsticks and lip glosses. The color I see in the packaging I want on my lips. I do not want a tint, not even a hint of color, I want the exact color that I am buying. Let's just say, I was not let down.


Second of all, the formula is so light weight, it doesn't even feel like I am wearing anything on my lips. It's not sticky, It's not cakey, it is so moisturizing, I could wear this all day everyday and it would never dry out my lips. It is one of the best formulas regarding lipsticks that I have tried.


These lipsticks are a Silk Finish which leave my lips looking shiny but not glossy, if that makes sense. Wet 'n' Wild claims that these lipsticks are enriched with conditioning ingredients of vitamin E and Aloe Vera for moist looking lips. I can tell you that when I wear this lipstick my lips do not feel goopy or sticky in any way, which I personally appreciate considering the fact that I hate feeling like I am wearing sticky honey on my mouth. Not fun...I had my lipstick on for a couple of hours and I did not need to reapply. The color was wearing beautifully and didn't feel like it was drying my lips out.


About that funny smell I recall their lipsticks having years ago, I am happy to report that the indescribable smell is definitely gone. You know how some makeup products, lipsticks included, sometimes have a perfume smell of some kind, the Silk Finish lipsticks have absolutely no sent whatsoever. I was so pleased when discovering that fact because sometimes scents can set off my allergies if the smell is too strong and overpowering and than I am unable to wear it without sneezing.


When you buy this lipstick you are getting 0.13 ounces for 99 cents. I would say that you are getting a spectacular deal that you cannot beat anywhere else and the quality of the product definitely will surprise you; it surprised me, in a pleasant way! Now, the packaging is nothing to thrill about; it looks cheap and feels cheap to me with it's clear plastic lid, but for 99 cents you know that you're not paying for packaging. But, the quality of the product is worth raving about!

So, when you pass by the Wet 'n' Wild kiosk in your drugstore next time, don't turn up your nose to their lipsticks just because they are 99 cents. The fact that they are just 99 cents should lure you in to at least try them out and give them a chance. With their vast range of colors, I am sure everyone will find at least one lipstick they want to try. And, of course, be tempted by more...


Who knows, you may find your self confessing just how much you love these, too!
