Swatches & Review
When I first heard of the new Wet n Wild Liquid Lip Colors, I really wanted to try them because they remind me of Lime Crime's Velvetine's, so when I saw them at my local Walgreens today, I was super excited!
This has a doe foot applicator.
The color I purchased is Raisin' The Roof. It is a berry color with golden sparkles to it. It applies on wet and glossy, but after a while, it dries down into a flat-ish matte finish. Since there were sparkles in this liquid lip color, it did not seem as matte, but it was.
The color itself is gorgeous. You can see the golden sparkle on this picture better.
However, the texture on these feel kind of weird. They kind of remind me of Violent Lip Tattoos. After applying, my lips felt normal like if I were to have normal lipstick or lipgloss on my lips. After it dried, it felt kind of stiff and hard on my lips to where it was kind of hard to move it unless I am not worrying about it peeling. My lips are very wrinkly so after it dried, I was able to see all the imperfection of my lips. Even when it was fully dry for me to touch, whenever my lips rub together, it would stick to each other and make it all patchy, which did not feel comfortable at all. After about an hour of wearing it, no eating or drinking anything, it started to flake off on me, which was very unattractive. I think Wet n Wild coming out with an affordable liquid lipstick is a good idea, but I was hoping it would be kind of like OCC Lip Tars as well. To me, this is definitely something that I would not recommend because it feels very uncomfortable on the lips & the flaking is not attractive at all. After it was flaking, I tried to remove it, but it was definitely really water-proof so it was hard to rub off until I used an oil-based makeup remover for lips. I think the next time I try it, I am going to try to top it off with a lip gloss to see how they feel with those.
Overall, I would not recommend these. I really wanted to love these, but trying this was a huge disappointment. I purchased this for $2.49 at my local Walgreen's (it is originally $3.49, but the tube had a $1 off sticker on it), which does not make me feel too bad able purchasing these.
What do you think about these? Is there anything from Wet n Wild's 2013 release that you are looking forward to?
Such a shame this turned out to be so drying as the colour is really pretty. Wet N'Wild isn't readily available where I live but I wish they were.
ReplyDeleteIt was quite drying, but it was just kind of annoying with the lip color flaking off in pieces. It was so hard to get off too! I want to try their other new items though! Is there a way for you to order online?
DeleteThat's a pretty color but what a strange texture xx
ReplyDeleteIt was! I really liked it color, but blah D:
Deletenice shade, but its true what you said, the texture does look strange.

The second picture is of it flaking off. So uncomfortable!
DeleteColor looks great on your lips, but eeeek at the texture! Def a miss from WnW. Sadness, I usually love WnW, their lip products tend to be hit or miss though.

The color was amazing! The texture and everything else, not so much. :( I like their Megalast Lipsticks!
Deleteoh no the flakes!! i find that the very longlasting lip colors have the tendency to do this
ReplyDeleteYeah, it kind of sucks D:
