Wet 'n Wild Mega Last Lipstick Swatches

Okay, it might not be new to many of you but i personally have to admit that i never really gave Wet 'n Wild a second look. Call me a high-end makeup junkie but i just have so much makeup from other brands that i didn't think Wet 'n Wild can keep up with it.

I couldn't have been more wrong. These lipsticks are amazing and i have since gone out and purchased every colour i could get my hands on. Can we say obsessed? Yes, yes i am.

Not only do these come in gorgeous colours but the finish and staying power is amazing. I would describe the finish as satin. It didn't seem fully matte to me, even though i have seen a lot of people describe it as that. To me it is best comparable to the MAC satin finish, which i love. It is not drying at all. My lips still felt moisturised while wearing it.

The staying power is great, i wouldn't say they stay all day. Let's face it there aren't many lipsticks that actually do. But they did stay for a good few hours.

And what's better than that? They cost €2.99 and are available at Penneys and Dunnes Stores here in Ireland. Incredible price for a great, great lipstick. I wish there were many more colours available.

MAC Alluring Aquatic Swatch

Okay, okay... this is hardly anything new at this stage but how could i not share this? Look at it. It is stunning.

I am one of those people who doesn't go crazy about MAC limited editions these days. You won't find me ordering it or waiting in front the store just to make sure i can get my hands on something. It is just not me. I am rather underwhelmed but the things MAC has brought out lately. Might just be me.

But this collection is stunning. Absolutely stunning. The packaging is everything. Yes, i am easily impressed by that, which might be wrong. haha

But it was so pretty that i had to pick up two things. I got the Bronzer in Golden Refined, which is a permanent shade at MAC and i had to own one of the lipsticks. I decided to get Enchanted One from this collection which has a matte finish and it is stunning nude with orange/peach undertones. It's gorgeous and i couldn't leave it there. I haven't worn it yet but you can see the swatch i made for you guys. How stunning is that colour? I love it, almost as much as the packaging. haha

There are still some things available at Brown Thomas if you decide you want something i suggest you are quick, some things are already sold out and i am really not surprised.

Did any of you get anything from this collection? What did you get?
