So recently I bought a few things from Wet n Wild cosmetics. Wet n Wild beauty has been around for some time and is the cheap makeup of the drugstore makeup. Going from their single eye shadows for 99 cents to their special holiday bundles for 35 dollars. I had started buying from this brand when someone had shown the single eye shadow creme brulee that they had used for a base shadow in a youtube video. I bought it and fell in love with how the shadows that went over it made them so blendable!
Now with some of the products that I have been buying from this brand can be hit and misses with them being the cheap end of the drugstore. For example, the single shadows are amazing but the setting spray that I bought for $4.99 was the worse thing that I have ever used in my life! Most of the products I bought, I have learned where and how I could use them. The glitters that they sell for the eyes, instead of putting them on the eyelids like most, I put them on the inner corners of my eyes for that bit of sparkle!
Now to get into my latest purchase from Wet n Wild, I feel like I really got what I paid for on most of the products.
Color Icon™ Metallic Liquid Lipstick
This liquid lipstick I had bought was in the color Coming up Roses. This color is different from what I usually buy because it wasn't quite pink, red, or coral but somehow this color is all of them together if that makes any sense. This lipstick has some micro glitter in it where it's not chunky enough to see from afar or when the lipstick is on, but you could see it only you start to remove it. The texture of this product is smooth when applying it and it does not dry down like all the other liquid lipsticks on the market. Now, the product did have a strange smell at first when applying it to the lips but does disappear quickly. The smell was like a sweet weird candy like a sweet tart. The applicator is not the normal doe foot tip like others. It was slightly scoop like to hug the lips better when applying the lipstick and is slightly bendable. The product is a total repurchase for me in the future and I will be buying more shades of this.
MegaGlo™ Highlighting Powder
This highlighter was the most talked about thing on Youtube and was sold out til the beginning of the fall when I bought them. I bought the two colors that this product offered: Precious Petals & Crown of My Canopy. Both are amazing colors and the pigment is out of this world. I did two swatches of each color, one with a brush and the other with a finger, the swatch results were the same, full of color and bright! Even blending out the swatches, the shine from the highlighters were still great! I can see why these were sold out for so long! I do hope they plan on keep these highlighters around for a long time because not only they can work for the spring and summer time but also for the fall and winter time also.
On Edge Longwearing Eye Pencil
Ok, now with the eyeliners of this brand I have bought before and they were... okay in a way. They would fade and would smear if i rubbed my eyes without me thinking that I still had eyeliner on. So, I decided since Wet N Wild were upping their game, that I would give this eyeliner a chance. I bought a white and black eyeliners. They are both really creamy, pigmented, and easy to work with for sure! The white liner I used the most for my waterline and the black for the lid. I did have to reapply on the waterline once because I do tend to get watery eyes. This product does what it suppose to pretty well for an eyeliner and will be buying more along with other colors for sure for using in my water line in the future!
MegaGlo Dual-Ended Contour Stick
The only reason I bought this product was because I heard that cream contour was better for oily skin. This product was horrible for me. It is really hard to blend out and when does blend out, removes my foundation. I bought light because I am fair skin but this was even too light on both contour and highlight. The highlight does not show up at all ! I can't even use this for contouring my nose at all which is where I have the most issues contouring most of all! I will not be buying this product ever again.
Photo Focus™ Setting Spray
What can I say about this product? This product is not worth buying ever! It smells like straight up alcohol and it did not set any at all for me! The product made my waterproof mascara run and that is a hard task to do for even makeup remover to do. The moment I sprayed this product onto my face, it made my face feel overly dry which is an uncomfortable feeling when wearing makeup. I honestly like the bottle but that's all I like about the product. I will not be buying this ever again period.
17 Brush Bundle
This was the most expensive item in my purchase from Wet N Wild. $23.99 for 17 brushes! It's cheaper than most places that sell brushes except E.L.F. but even that brand doesn't have 17 brushes bundle or 17 brushes in their cheapest form. Unlike the E.L.F. brand, these brushes are extremely soft and don't feel cheap at all. I have had no shedding from the brushes at all. Wet N Wild picked out the perfect colors for their brushes which are pink and white! I am a sucker for pink! There is a groove in the hand of the brushes to make it easier to grip the brushes when using them. The down sides to the brushes that it does fit right in the left hand and that they do get dirty quick but with that in mind, it makes you clean them more unlike brushes that are dark that you can't see the makeup build up in. Two of the brushes are online only tho I have seen the bent liner brush at the Dollar Tree. I do hope that they keep the bundle so everyone can get these brushes to either use or just to have them set on your vanity for looks!
So in conclusion...
Wet N Wild has been stepping up their game when it comes to trying to match up with some high end products. Like I had stated earlier, most of their products are hit and misses but it does show they are trying their best for a cheap drugstore brand. Some of the products didn't work for me but they might work for others. All I can say is that totally keep your eyes on this brand for sure because a lot of the big youtubers are using a lot of the highlighters and the powder contour from this brand lately!
