{ " Wet n Wild Megalast Nail Polish - Under Your Spell " }



Happy December everyone!


I have probably six of the Wet n Wild Megalast nail polishes, and I absolutely love them.
So last week when I was in CVS I spied a gorgeous duo-chrome burgundy red color. I was super excited about it, because it is a gorgeous color for fall and winter.

Let me start off by saying I love the brushes on these polishes. I can't even stress that enough. The brushes are absolutely wonderful. I love how I can go over my nail in one even sweep, and not have to worry about it building up from having to go over it several times.

I have always loved the Megalast polishes because of their opacity, and gorgeous colors. They don't have too many colors, but the color range they have is decent.


This picture makes this polish look extremely brown, but in the bottle it looks more on the deep red side. 
I applied the first coat and it came off super light, and a little streaky. It's not opaque in the least on the first coat. That could have been the fact that I apply my nail polish in very thin coats, but I think it's just the polish. The other Megalast polishes I have tried have been opaque in even the first coat. 

Here is pictures of the first coat, then the second coat. 


As you can see, the first coat is like an olive green, and brown. I was super nervous when I saw that color... I was totally put off, and was even tempted to take the polish off. The second coat then revealed the real color, which is indeed a reddish, burgundy, brown. I am quite pleased with the color, though the second coat is still streaky in some places. I could probably pull off a third coat, but I didn't feel like waiting for it to dry. 


Overall I like this polish, it's not amazing, but it's pretty. I'll probably pair it with some gold glitter, or even red glitter sometime. 

I'll be reviewing another polish from Wet n Wild, from the Fergie line soon, so look out for that! 

Enjoy the little things!

{ " Wet n Wild Megalast Lipsticks - First Impression " }


I want to apologize way ahead of time for my absolutely horrible "swatching" abilities. I did lip swatches... and then realized that my lens magnified all the little peach fuzz on my upper lip and around my mouth. Flaws. Everyone's got them. I have never like... felt the need to wax around my mouth... so I guess I just won't be doing any super close up lip swatches, huh? ;) Just thought I'd tell you all the reason for my entire face being in the swatch, rather than just my lips.

Anyhue, now that that's out of the way...

I recently bought two of the Wet n Wild Megalast Lipsticks at CVS. They are a steal at $1.99 a piece, and then they were 40% off, so I just had to try them.

Tati (GlamLifeGuru on YouTube) has mentioned a specific one called, "Think Pink" in many of her videos, and talked about how much she loved it. So, of course, I picked that one up. Then I also found another shade, which I absolutely adore. It's such a gorgeous color!

Yes, I am aware that I look terrified in the picture on the left, but whatever. Let's pretend it's high fashion, or modeling or something. ;)

First I will talk about the lipsticks together, then I will talk about each color individually.

~ The opacity of these lipsticks is absolutely incredible, as you can see in the arm swatches above. That is one "swipe", and that's it. I don't think I have ever had a lipstick that was that opaque. The colors are absolutely gorgeous, and I was shocked by how opaque they are.

~ The packaging is just a black tube. They are thinner than regular lipstick tubes, but I don't mind that. The packaging is cheap, sleek, but cheap.

~ The consistency is actually pretty creamy. The application was much easier with the darker color, but the consistency is pretty much like any matte. If your lips are not hydrated, and are flaky at all, it will pull and tug at your lips. I put on a lip butter about 15 minutes before I put on the lipstick, in order to keep my lips hydrated and have a smooth application. They kind of smell like a crayon, like legit. When I first smelled them, I immediately thought of crayons. They feel quite dry after a little while, but aren't super uncomfortable on the lips.

~ The wear time is actually pretty amazing, I mean compared to lip products I have tried. I put on the color Wine Room at around 4:15PM, and when I got home at 6:00PM it was still completely intact. The lip color had not budged at all, and hadn't started to peel or anything. I ate dinner, and it lasted through dinner, then I ended up wiping it off to do the swatch of the lighter color. I literally had to scrub it off of my lips, and my lips were still kind of red. I know almost two hours isn't that impressive of a time, but for me it was! They definitely stain, because I swatched them on my arm about three hours ago, and it's still there. The lighter color seemed to fade faster, but the darker color leaves quite a stain.

~ Wine Room  is a gorgeous brick red color. It is coming off true to color in the pictures. It is so beautiful, I'm absolutely in love with it. I'm not quite brave enough to wear a true red lipstick, but I feel like a matte red is more wearable than a glossy red for some reason. Anyways, the color is definitely a warm toned red, it's definitely not a cool toned red. For some reason I'm loving to wear cranberry lip colors, and darker lip colors, even though according to like... "beauty rules" you shouldn't wear dark lips without any other makeup. Hey look at me, the rebel. ;)

~ Think Pink is a cool toned baby pink. It is the perfect nude lip. I don't really like light/nude lip colors on myself, but this one is amazing. I don't think it makes me look too washed out, so I'll definitely be wearing it quite often, as long as I can get it to apply nicely.

~ The price is amazing. I mean, come on now. $1.99 for a lip color normally tells you that it's going to stink. But, these are pretty good.

I would definitely recommend Wine Room to a friend, and maybe even some of the other darker colors. I think the price I paid, which was actually $1.19 was well worth it.

I hope someone found this review helpful... and I'm gonna say, "Go git you some!" ;)

Have a great week everyone!

{ " Wet n Wild Haul " }


I stopped into CVS today, because I had a CVS money-card with $11.00 on it, and $4.00 in extrabucks. I figured it was a good time to stop in! So, I hadn't gone in looking for anything specific... I was just planning on finding something to buy with my "free" money! 

I happened upon the Wet n Wild stand, and... what do you know? It was all 40% off. Wet n Wild's products are super cheap to begin with, so then adding 40% makes them incredibly cheap. I spent about $8.00, and was able to get two lipsticks, two nail polishes, and a blush. I don't really wear blush, but I got it to play around with, seeing as it was only about $1.49 after the discount!

I will do separate reviews on the lipsticks, and the blush because that is going to be more in-depth.

Let me point out, as with the above, I never check the names of things before I buy them... so I had no idea of the name of the Fergie glitter polish until now... Yeahhhh....

I paid $8.49 for everything above! Quite pleased with my purchases so far, though I have only tried the lipsticks out. I'm excited to try the nail polishes, as soon as the color I currently have on my nails chips. 

And a special bonus... 
I hopped over to Target and found this adorable sweater, on the 70% off rack! I put it on at first and debated on returning it... but, I'm pretty sure I'll keep it, it was too cheap to return anyways! 


Now, stop judging me just because I take mirror selfies... Because, I know you are. ;)

Enjoy your week!
