On a visit to Walgreens this weekend I picked up the new Wet n Wild Velvet Matte Lip Color from their Fergie Collection. I was very excited an hopeful to purchase and try these. I purchased a total of seven (7) of the nine colors in the line and they cost $3.49 each.
The product is a chunky twist up lip crayon that does not need sharpening. It is easy to choose your product as the cap and bottom twist up part of the lip crayon match the color of the product and are very true to color.
Let us talk about the product:
* The formula is very smooth when applied
* Although it is a matte lip product, it does not dry out the lips
Other than the two positives listed above, the product left a lot to be desired. They go on very sheer and lack pigmentation when applied and there were a few colors the took layer upon layer before the color actually started to show up on my lips. The product I found also bleed on the lips, even when applied with a lip liner, and/or anti-feathering lip pencil. Many of the shades also look very similar when applied and some of the lighter shades applied very blotchy.
One of my biggest disappointments was the actual packaging of the product. Out of the seven (7) purchased, on opening the package of three of the colors and removing the cover, the product immediately fell out of the tube. I returned the product to Walgreens and picked excahanged it for the same color, and two out of the three had the same thing occur with the product falling completely out of the tube.
The colors purchased are as follows:
* A351 Trendscendence - which is a medium brownish pink color
* A352 Nude Muse - which is a very pale nude color
* A353 DJ Doll - which is a pinkish orange color
* A354 Timeless Chick - which is a medium brown color
* A355 Fashion Darling - which is a pinky red color (featured color)
* A356 Plumgenue - which is a very light plum color
* A357 Pink Candy - which is a very light pink color
My final opinion on the product is that I will not be purchasing the other colors in the line neither will I re-purchase or recommend this product. I will be taking the products back to Walgreens. I give these lip crayons 😻 (1 out of 5 kittens).
