Wet n wild megalast lipstick

Wet n wild is a very affordable American drugstore brand. for the past few years their megalast lipstick has taken the makeup and beauty blogging world by storm. Curious what all the hype was all about I too bought one lipstick when I saw it on sale at just4girls.pk

Shade: In the flesh

Price:  variable price ranging from 450-600 depends on the seller

Quantity:3.3 g

About the packaging:

It’s the usual plastic casing with a clear lid on top I found the packaging a lot sturdier than the Makeup Revolution and MUA lipsticks. The lid does not slides off the lipstick 

About the product:

In the flesh a my lips but better kind of shade its deep nude brick brown  shade with red undertones if that makes any sense.i find it quite similar in texture to Medora matte lipsticks (local brand) the only difference between the two is that Medora lipstick’s have a strong chemical smell to them while wet n wild has no scent at all.

Lately I have become quite sensitive to strong scent so I have stopped wearing Medora lipsticks but if you compare this Wet N Wild Megalast lipstick to Medora matte lipstick I see no difference

Pigmentation wise both are intensely pigmented. I found this lipstick drying in winter(its matte so obviously) however it glides on lips quite smoothly in summer

Lasting power is decent, this lipstick lasts on my lips for about 5-6 hours if I don’t eat or drink but when eating it rubs off leaving behind a stain

I would suggest exfoliating your lips before applying as it’s dry texture can enhance the lines and dead skin on the lips(not a pretty sight trust me)

Wet n wild Megalast lipstick comes in a lot of shades. I am thinking about purchasing "mauve out of here" and "pinkerbell" next

Pros :

Affordable

Intensely pigmented

Scentless

Cons:

The lid gets dirty very easily it gets lipstick all over it somehow

Matte lipstick sometime hard to apply however this can be fixed by using a lipbalm underneath

My rating :

I rate this 4 out 5

FACE

Powder/foundation

Maybelline  all in one pressed powder has been my favorite this year I have been wearing this to college, and formal events too. Its gives the coverage I desire and didn’t made my skin breakout (read review here)

 1.the essence glossy lip balm in cherry brownies it has such a yummy scent and tastes too. 

2. a home made red  lipbalm 

3. Medora lipstick in flavor a tea pink shade (read review here)

 

Eyes

I have been using music flower gel eyeliner duo pots in black and brown . this gel liner  remains on my oily lids forever until of course I remove it myself .

Mascara

essence I love extreme volume  is the best mascara I have used so far it gives my lashes the dramatic false lash effect

Skin care

I didn’t dedicate much time to skin care this year however I did applied a skin mask once every week 

Freemans dead sea minerals mask  is the product which made my oily skin behave (read review here)

For moisturizer I used ponds moisturizing lotion as it brightens the skin and didn’t clogged my pores

This pearl drops toothpaste made my teeth not pearl white but well they don’t look gold yellow either

becute lipstick 

shade  439

confession this is actually my first ever red lipstick  its a bit late as the bold 
red look was last year's trend. (this year its tangerine ) my mother ws not happy
when i purchased it she totally disapproved of this color
this color is a nuetral red so looks best on every skin tone
and makes my teeth look white too :)

this lipstick has  a little scent which becomes subtle after few minutes

Lipstick review ( part 1)

Medora is one of the most used cosmetic brands in Pakistan. Almost every Pakistani female is familiar with it. It used to rule the makeup shelves when most of the Pakistani female population was unaware of brands like revelon,rimmel, etc

For the past few years Medora has some what become extinct from the makeup counter so when I spotted these in a local cosmetic shop I bought a few colors for my self immediately

PRICE:110 pkr

Packaging: it’s a golden tube with a grey cover and lid. (Not so cheap looking)

Lipsticks are available in various finishes like matte, shimmer, semi matte and I believe frost too they come in various shades too seriously when I looked at the testers I had trouble deciding which shade to pick.they have alight scent which was nt unpleasant in my opinion. these lipsticks come with both a name and a number (a word of advice if you want to buy similar shades like these then tell the sales person the no of the lipstick rather than name because most of them cant read)

Quantity: about 3.9g (it was not written on the package but I compared it with my other lipstick bullet)

Today I am reviewing three of the lipsticks two of them are matte while one  has finely crushed glitter in it

SHADE :

VERY CURRENT 252

This a very deep berry color suitable for autumn and quite wearable in winter too.it is matte and its texture is smooth. It has no shimmer or glitter particles in it

SHADE:

FLAVOUR  216

This is my favourite shade in all three lipsticks it a coraly pink nude lipsticks and gives a very natural color to the lips.i wear this shade to college. If your are a tudent or like nude pink lipsticks this one is just the right shade for you. I think this also wearable for every skin tone, this is also very creamy(my first bullet just broke off because of it). Totally love this shade

SHADE:

GLITTTER 815

This lipstick is brown in color and has finely crushed golden glitter n.the glitter is not gritty. I usually wear this shade on top of another lipstick just to give an extra bling effect to my lips looks amazing on top of red lipstick J

from L-R  glitter 815 , flavour 216 very current 252

These lipsticks can be some times feel drying on the lips so do exfoliate your lips before wearing these.they have excellent pigmentation (all of them) they stayed for like six hours on my lips and after that still left a light stain on my lips. Easily available, very affordable. Have a very vast range of shades to choose from

I will rate these 4.5 out of 5
