Wet n' Wild is one of the least expensive brands at the drugstore. They make a wide variety of items, and the quality of those items seems to vary quite a bit as well. There is one product, though, that exceeds the low price point ten-fold. That product, is this creamy, semi-matte lipstick. I have tried several shades and am always so impressed with their quality.
The best part about these lipsticks is how insanely cheap they are. I love trying out new colors and more interesting shades that I may not reach for as often, since they are so inexpensive. I am really digging orange/tangerine shades for Spring/Summer, and always love a soft romantic pink.
The formula for these is super thick, and very creamy. It's so thick, that it's almost a bit chalky. They are a soft-matte, with just a small amount of sheen. The orange shade, 969 24 Carrot Gold, is a a gorgeous tangerine shade with just enough red in it to make it super wearable. This is one of those shades that will make your smile pop and your teeth look extra white.
The pink shade, 901B Think Pink, in the tube looks like a soft muted pink with coral undertones. The actual color is much brighter and quite a bit more pink than nude. It also reminded me of something I have seen before.....
Think Pink appears to be a really good dupe for MAC Angel lipstick. It also looks like it would be very similar to a mix of MAC Zen and MAC Cremecup. It is bright like Angel, has coral tones in it similar to Zen, and that girly pink-ness that is in Cremecup. I only had Cremecup around for the photos, and as you can see, it's not a perfect dupe. It does have many similarities, but it much more opaque, brighter, thicker, and it has less of a sheen.
As you can see, Think Pink is above and Cremecup is below. Cremecup is more sheer and also a bit more mauve/nude, and not quite as bright. On the lips, the differences are less noticeable but still apparent. The photo on the right shows Think Pink on the left half of my lips, and Cremecup on the right.
I wouldn't say this formula is the most amazing I'v ever used, but considering MAC lipsticks are $17 and Wet n' Wild are $1.98, I think it's fair to say these are a really great, affordable option. You also get more product in the Wet n' Wild than a MAC lipstick.
