Since I started destashing, I've been drawn to drugstore makeup. I was able to found a big paper bag containing brand new makeup items both drugstore and high end. I decided to use the drugstore makeup first.
Wet n Wild has been around for a while. This brand is nothing new to me as I remember getting at least one Wet n Wild item in the grocery back in high school. It was one of those brands that I was allowed to buy. Well, there wasn't really any restriction then when it comes to makeup. But at 99 cents per tube, I don't understand why you wouldn't grab a tube or two.
My First Wet n Wild matte lipstick was Think Pink. It was also from this range. L bought it for me at SM. It's PhP299 per tube. I liked it a lot but I think I lost it during one of my trips.
I accumulated 6 more tubes that I ended up losing even before I reviewed it. Then last year, I randomly went inside SM Megatrade Hall and saw one kiosk in the corner selling makeup.
A lot of people were there because there were a lot of sale items. I saw these Wet n Wild lipsticks on sale for PhP168 each! That's a steal compared to SM's price! Ended up getting 5 shades!
Vamp It Up, Mauve Outta Here, Bare It All, Smoking' Hot Pink, and Mocha-licious
Bare It All, Mocha-licious, Mauve Outta Here, Smokin' Hot Pink, Vamp It Up
Bare It All on my lips. One layer.
Bare It All is a nude shade with a matte finish. When I'm in the mood to hoard on lipsticks, I almost always get nude. It's so wearable for me. I thought this will wash me out so I'm glad that it didn't. I like how it looks on my bare face.
Mocha-licious on my lips. One layer.
Mocha-licious on my lips. One layer.
Mocha-licious is a muted brown shade with red undertone and a matte finish. It looks darker on the tube than applied. I'm glad this shade is wearable, too. I bought this shade last year for review purposes only. I wasn't expecting to like the shade haha! I wear the even without makeup on and it lights up my pale face.
Mauve Outta Here on my lips. One layer.
Mauve Outta Here is a pink shade with a matte finish. It's pink. Period. I wasn't expecting it to be this pink. It's a nice shade of pink but I don't like it on me. I'm rather shocked that it looks bright as I wasn't expecting this to be at least pinkish nude or something lighter. L says it looks good on me. But I feel weird with this shade.
Smokin' Hot Pink on my lips. One layer.
Smokin' Hot Pink on my lips. One layer.
Smokin' Hot Pink is a bright Barbie pink shade with a matte finish. I got this shade for review purposes, too. Another reason I got this shade is because this is a shade my mom will like and matte it also her favourite finish. I gave this to her after I took photos because she can pull off this kind of shade more than me.
Vamp It Up on my lips. One layer. Scary.
Vamp It Up on my lips. One layer.
Vamp It Up is a dark purple shade with a matte finish. Among the five lipsticks, this has got to be the one that doesn't tug when applying it on my lips! Incredible! However, It's a bit hard to get an even shade with this. I like vampy shades alright but this one, in particular, didn't tickle my fancy.
Swatches side by side.
Mwah!
Wet n Wild lipsticks are affordable if you purchase in the states or thru online shops. In the states, this retails for USD0.99 while it retails between PhP150-180 at online shops. It's a fairly decent price for an imported drugstore brand.
Since this is matte, expect tugging during application. Bare It All fades completely when you eat. But it can stay for 4 hours straight without eating; just a little drinking from the cup. The darker shades leave a stain especially Vamp It Up. It was the hardest one to remove! In general, they are pigmented. One layer is good enough. I consider this as one of my Beauty Budget products because I love matte lipsticks. This range also has a wide range of shades to choose from. You'll definitely find a shade no matter what mood you're in! The price point is also great whether you're in a tight budget or not.
One thing I don't like about this lipstick though it its packaging. This lipsticks sticks outs from the tube. that's how it's designed so I have to be extra careful when putting back the cap on. Else, I'll damage the lipstick.
Wet n Wild lipstick is available at all SM Beauty stores for PhP299 each. You may also purchase this thru online sellers for half the price. Some are on hand, some are pre-order.
