up so close.

i've seen a lot of negative feedback about these wet n wild megalast liquid lip colors. they're new for this year and i'm not sure if everyone knew what they were supposed to do before they purchased them. they are not lip glosses. they are a long wearing lipstick like product that dries to a matte finish. i own three, so i'll show you swatches of all three and one on the lips.

(This is upside down ahaha. But right to left - Back To The Fuchsia, Rose To The Occasion, Cherry On Top)

they do not transfer at all, but break down when you eat greasy things. these should be applied in thin layers--i only use one coat and i get enough coverage, but everyone is different. and isn't that what makes life grand?

i feel like a disney musical. here comes the lip swatches! (i photographed these on Sunday so that's why i have on the scarf still. i promise that i change clothes every day lol.)

and the last one with flash

thoughts:

•  this lipstick looks good for every day wear, as long as no one is taking up close photographs of me haha.
• the tacky feel of the formula is a little annoying but i can deal with it if i just really feel like wearing lipstick that day and i don't want to touch it up.
• i looooooove that it doesn't transfer. i wore this to get some froyo and i left looking just as fabulous as i entered. (of course i would still be fabulous if i left my lipstick all over the cup and spoon, but that didn't happen!)
• i wasn't really feeling and of the shades with shimmer but something possessed me to buy Cherry On Top. i haven't worn it yet. the color range wasn't really my thing and it didn't excite me the way that the megalast round lipsticks do. but these... hm. they're a unique sort of product so i don't mind.

i would probably give it a 8.5 outta 10. i wish that it wore off a little more evenly, that it didn't feel sorta stifling on the lips and the the shade range was a little cuter. they are regularly 2.99 and the display had 1 dollar off coupons. i can't remember if there was a sale or not.
