Wet n Wild mega last lipsticks are their super pigmented semi-matte lipsticks that were launched last year. In this post I'm reviewing these lipsticks in general and swatch the shade 906D Wine Room.
This is how they look:
A part of the lipstick is outside the container which gives a clear view of the color through the clear top cap. I'm not sure how I like that since it's good we can see the color but every time I open the cap the lipstick gets smeared onto it by accident.
Below you can see how they look when opened. You can notice a smear of the lipstick on the top cap and most of these lipsticks come packaged with smears like this. They do come with a seal which I had removed so they were for sure not caused by customers testing them in the store. I think this was how they come out of the factory. The amount of lipstick you'll get is pretty good. I really liked the stick shape of the lipstick too.
Up close you can see that it's a nice peachy pink shade. These shades only come with numbers on their bottom with the sticker showing the shade color. I had to go to their website to get the shade name. The name must've been on the seal which I threw away. The ingredients must've been on the wrapper too. Even if they weren't you can get all the details on their website.
These are my nude lips after I exfoliated:
This is the shade on me in day/natural light:
This is how it looks in night light:
I applied the lipstick generously and these lipsticks don't need more than 2 swipes. You can see it's very pigmented and it does provide great coverage even with a single swipe. They have a beautiful creamy semi-matte finish. The lipstick feels very light and smooth on lips and goes on very easily. It didn't settle into the cracks and lines, doesn't feather or bleed, and is not too cakey either no matter how many swipes you do. There is also a mild flowery scent which is not noticeable unless you put your nose close and smell it. After application, there was no scent at all. The shades are quite long-lasting and lasted on me for more than 6 hours. Even after the smooth texture wears off there is a heavy stain left behind which is difficult to get rid of unless you use a good dose of makeup remover.
Claims from their website wnwbeauty.com:
Lips take center stage! This 4-hour, longwearing lip color leaves a semi-matte, crème finish in one stroke. Glides on easily with rich, velvety color that doesn't cake, feather, or bleed. Made with hydrating skin-care ingredients: Hyaluronic Microspheres provide extraordinary adhesion to lips, an exclusive polymer complex offers cushion-like feel and texture, and natural marine plant extracts Coenzyme Q10 and Vitamins A & E help smooth lips.
I can vouch that the lipsticks do exactly as they claim to do on the website. If your lips are more on the very dry side then the best way is to apply them with lip balm.
There's a very good amount of lipstick which is 0.11 oz/3.3 gm. for the price of $1.99 at CVS. I got it in a sale for $1.50. They're available at CVS and Walgreens.
My final conclusions are that the mega last lipsticks are really pigmented and offer rich color and they definitely do what they claim to do and more, in a good way. For that price, I think minor issues like packaging can be ignored. Anyways it's the product that is important and not the packaging. You should never fall for useless gimmicky packaging that you have to pay high prices for and then throw in the dustbin after use. Honestly, I would love to see lipsticks in plain paper packaging.
This lipstick is probably my fave of all the five I bought and I would definitely recommend it to anybody who wants good coverage for their lips with long-lasting color. The shades do really put your lips on center stage like they say, as they are rich in color and the colors do pop out. So you might want to tone them down by blotting or lightly tinting your lips with them on top of a lip balm. I would repurchase these lipsticks, especially this particular shade.
I hope this helps you decide whether to buy them or not.
