Wet N Wild Metallic Liquid Lipsticks

Wet n Wild is a cruelty free cosmetics company whose products are some of the lowest and best priced products in the drug stores.  If asked most makeup lovers will say that Wet n Wild were some of the first makeup products they ever bought.  The company launched in 1979 and is based out of Los Angeles California and is one of the most trusted brands in the drug store.  The prices in their products begin at $0.99 for several lipsticks and nail polishes, and they produce approximately 400 different versatile shades in their makeup line.

New to their makeup line this spring is the Color Icon Metallic Liquid Lipsticks.  They come in 6 different colors to choose from and sell for $2.99 a pop. Please note that these are limited edition and can be purchased from Walmart, Target, Walgreens, CVS or KMart.   Based on the description on the website they are:

• Ultimate metallic finish
• Non-drying formula
• Perfect wear for hours

Let's get into the product:

Peony Express - metallic nude with flecks of gold. Applied evenly but needs to be built up.

Days of Fuchsia Passed - metallic barbie pink.  Applied evenly and one swipe does the job.

Chrysanthemum's the Word - lighter metallic pink.  Applied evely and requires minimum build.

Coming Up Roses - true metallic red that requires minimum build.

Indigo Your Own Way - true metallic purple that one swipe does the trick.

Let us talk about the actual product:

LIKES: The product comes with a dipped doe foot applicator which allows for precise application.  The color selection is great as it ranges from your nude, to pinks, to reds to purple.  The application is smooth and the product is super affordable.

DISLIKES: Color does not last very long, the product does however stain your lips a bit after eating and drinking.  The product feels heavy on the lips.

Final Thoughts: For the price of the product of $2.99 go out and grab some.  They are a fun, new type of lipproduct on the market and is worth the price. Check out my YouTube video on this product https://youtu.be/eefn0rSAIFA

Ruby Kisses Maracuja Kiss Stick Rare Amazonia Soft Matte Lipstick

Based on their website - "Ruby Kisses was born from the love of beauty, makeup, and trending pop culture!

Ruby Kisses offers a vast variety of products ranging g in products for the face, lips, nails and body.  Products can be purchased from your local beauty supply stores, from a vast number of websites like drugstore.com, amazon.com and ebay.com. Prices for products range from $0.99 to approximately $10.00. 

I was able to purchase four of these Maracuja Kiss Sticks Rare Amazonia  Soft Matte Lipsticks from my local beauty supply store for $3.49 each.  There is very, very limited information online for these products so I had to dive in and test, test, test.  I have owned them for over a month now and have been wearing them at least 4 times a week over the last two weeks in order to be able to provide an honest and tested opinion. 

Let's get into the product : 

Color featured her is RLC12 Take Me To Paris. It is a beautiful mauve read that applies very evenly.  There is no bleeding and can be used with or without a lip liner. The color is very pigmented and all it takes is one swipe to get beautiful color.

RLC10 Maybe Baby is an orange red.  This color also applied evenly and is very pigmented.  It is the perfect color for a night on the town.  

RLC03 It's Raining Men is a mauve color.  Also applies evenly.  There is no blotch in essence or bleeding.  You can apply one coat and get great pigmentation or build it up to get an even more opaque look.

RLC01 Lady In Red is a true red.  Like the other colors this color is very pigmented and glides on the lips.  Perfect color to take you from day to night.

My overall opinion:

The kiss sticks come in a twist up tube and the tube represents a true color depiction of what you will be purchasing.  The packaging is sturdy and comes with 2.5g/0.09 ozs of product.

The one con that I have is that they are very hard to find as at the $3.49 price I was only able to locate them at my local beauty supply stores.  They were more expensive to purchase them online.

I am a huge fan of the formula.  There are 10 colors to choose from and all of the colors are amazing g.  They range from browns, to reds to purples.    The application of the product is very precise and you get full pigmentation I one swipe.  The product is richly formulated, long wearing and glides on smoothly.

They are non drying matte finish that is very comfortable to wear.  The product lasted on my lips for approximately 6 hours before I had to touch up a bit.  The product did leave a stain on the lips after eating and drinking.  I was very impressed with these and will be purchasing a few more.
