Wet n' Wild products getting better?

[TIERAsta]

I have to say that I never thought I'd be using Wet n Wild products after playing with them as a kid. After reading some positive reviews on MUA, I decided to give some of their products a try. I LOVE their Ultimate Expressions eyeshadow palettes (the one with 8 colors). I got all three that were available...they are only $3.99 to begin with, and I got them buy one get one free. They are WAY better quality than I would have expected...not as good as MAC, but as good as other department store brands I've tried.

I also like their lipliners...I got both #666 and #712 after reading positive reviews on MUA.

i love their eyeshadow trios - i have the amazon greens one and it's soooo pretty, nice texture and nice pigmentation. as i mentioned before i love their cream shadows, too...i use them as e/s bases and they're just like MAC paints IMO but much much cheaper. i think they're being discontinued, tho

i also love their nail polish - i love their wild shine in burgandy frost - a nice, sexy shade of red and it isn't streaky and it lasts FOREVER...and it's only $1.99.

Does anyone know what their policy is on animal testing? I used to buy their stuff (love their eyeliners, liquid and pencil) but could never get a conclusive answer

I just picked up the new Megaglo powder in Bahamas, and it's the single most beautiful highlighter/bronzer/shimmer powder I've ever used.

I think it's the first WNW product I've ever tried. I think I need to go back and get the other 2 LE Megaglos!!

I love the liquid liner - it was my first ever, and it was fab. I even have a picture where I used it as a base for a black cat eye:

They have an image of a rabbit that says Cruelty-Free on their website. So, my guess is that they don't test on animals.

Okay, so now I have to buy the lipliners and the liquid eyeliner. I don't own any lipliner and I keep trying to "make more" liquid eyeliner with mascara and water in the container... But, it actually works really well.

I bought the white eyeliner at target because it was only a dollar verses like six for CoverGirl. I loved it. It stayed on my water line really well, but then it fell out of my bag. Rimmel has better eyeliners, but the WNW white was really nice.

And I'll also have to try the blush, my Signature Club A (a Home Shopping Network) one broke on a trip.

Awhile ago when Walgreens was having a buy one get one on their Wet n' Wild products I picked up two of their eyeshadow palettes. I finally tried one today, and my goodness!!! I was so impressed, I used UDPP and then some random cream shadow as a base. The shadow stayed true to color until I washed it off. I'm definitely going to be picking up more of these when they go BOGO again! (I'm cheap..)

Their cream e/s and blush sticks are really nice. A little goes a long way and they blend seamlessly into the skin. Additionally, they are so inexpensive you can experiment with color.

Ok girls I have been afraid to try liquid eyeliner for awhile now & I was at Longs and decided to get a cheap eyeliner to work with like practicing, well I used this yesterday and like it stayed on all day long it was a little hard to wash off in fact! I got the black in waterproof too. I would buy it again still not good with liquid hope to get better

 

[PolyphonicLove]

dude, I got the creme shadow in champagne toast last month, and...

its a miracle.

mm. seriously. I LOVE THIS STUFF!

its a great base, it lasts forever, and makes my shadows more vibrant...totally a HG, Im going back to buy the white and the green asap.

The quality of the eyeshadow pallets and trios is very good! I was amazed. I especially love the Belgian Chocolates and Egyptian Sands trios. I also really like the liquid liner (both waterproof and non-waterproof). I have had pretty good luck with their lip gloss and glassy gloss.

Their lipliners are awesome and have a great selection in colors.

I grew up with WnW, and I have a flirting relationship with it. I love around Halloween when they get their colors out. I use them for the rest of the year (like the black lipstick and nail polish). They are wonderful for a quick experiment, and if you don't like it, it was only $1-3, so no big deal. I often sanitize what I don't like, and give it to one of my cousins to play with (the young ones).

Just the other day I bought #666 (Brandy Wine) lipliner (still need to get #712. I heard they're both like MAC's Spice), #250 (Fine Wink) e/s, which is awesome, and #655 (Charcoal) eyeliner (still have to try it). For $3, you can't beat that haul ^_^.

Just another thing that I wanted to post, but these two websites really help for experimentation:

http://www.beautybuzz.com/lookalikes.asp

http://mmlindependant.livejournal.com/

I find the second one to be the best. Those are both websites that list look-a-likes to name brand cosmetics, and a lot of WnW is listed on the second one ^_^.

 

[chocolategoddes]

hell yeah! i bought some eyeshadow the other day and it stayed almost perfect throughout the entire day. Even in the hot california sun!

Up until early this year I stayed away from WnW, because I thought they were very inferior products. Something I used in High School when that was all I could afford. I *hate* buying shadows that only end up being chalky (loreal I'm looking at you) so I always ignored this line because I thought that's exactly what I would get. Until I read a review post on blogdorf raving about how great the shadow palettes and other products were. So I decided, for a few bucks why not? I went to walgreens and picked them up and omg I was shocked at what great quality they are. They are sooo velvety and stay true to color (from what I've tried anyway). I have since built up my WnW collection and have yet to be disappointed. I especially love wearing the #712 lip pencil with some clear glassy gloss. And I love them!! The gloss is so shiny its insane, and I only use a teeny tiny bit. I reapply less during the day than I do with my MAC l/s. I get spectacular performance out of these products and for a fraction of department store prices, how great is that? But no worries, my heart still belongs to MAC. I just can't help it

I was just at Walgreen's today, and I must say they have an ADORABLE selection of Halloween stuff up now....cool glitter-tipped lashes, dark lipsticks, and nice nail polishes, too, including a glow-in-the-dark one

I couldn't help myself and bought one of each! Rarely anything is over 5 bucks...how can you go wrong!?:nod:

ps...I never knew #666 lip liner actually had a name!!! How cool!!!!!
