Product Junkies on a Budget feature beauty products I have purchased with my own money. I am a college student and broke.... I can't afford YSL's Touché Eclat or La Mer face cream (as much as I wish I could) BUT I can gather my pennies and hit up the local drug store and feed my product fix.
During my daily homework procrastination I regularly browse the aisles of the nearest drug store looking for bargains and probably looking like a creep who has nothing else better to do as well. I pace up and down the make-up rows with my hand on my chin (if you look like you're in serious thought no one will bother you) and examine every product and sale tag carefully. On my most recent trip, I came across Wet n Wild's Mega Last Lipstick, a matte lipstick for $2.99 that promises to stay on for at least four hours. It sounded intriguing BUT could the brand that provided my inner 8 year old diva with gold glitter eyeliner for 99 cents that came off in 10 minutes and loads of funky colored nail polishes and various cheap makeup products for $2 make a lipstick that not only looked good but did what it promised?? For the sake of product junkies on a budget everywhere, I gave it a shot! I selected "smoking hot pink - 905D" and made my way to the cash register.
I walked in the door, thew my stuff on the floor and immediately pulled out my new lipstick. The first thing I noticed is that there is a dry film on top of the actual lipstick...I'm not quite sure what that was about but I ran a tissue over it and it was gone and revealed a creamy, hot pink, flat topped cosmetic wonder. Be warned, this is highly pigmented and a lot goes a long way so if being all OMG IN YO FACE COLOR is not your thing, just dab a little on....otherwise, slap that baby all over and enjoy an ultra matte hit of color that will actually last as long (if not longer) than what the package says. As with all matte lipsticks, it is dry BUT not that uncomfortable dry that normally occurs with most long wearing lipsticks. I did not personally mind but, a balm or gloss could definitely be applied on top. I drank a refreshing Snapple, ate some pita chips (Parmesan and herb in case you want to eat like me too!) with hummus, and kissed my sexy boo (heyyyy baby!), and my lips remained pretty in pink. So, in conclusion, Wet n Wild makeup is steppin' their game up and I'll be steppin' back over to the store to get some more and see what other products I can overload my makeup kit with.
