I've only ever seen Wet N' Wild in Wal-Mart (back in the 90s you could get it at drugstores) . Since I live in downtown Toronto and don't drive Wal-Mart isn't a place I get to go to often and the few Toronto Wal-Marts all have makeup departments that look like a bunch of 3 year olds were let loose in (Rexdale Wal-Mart, I'm looking at you!). So, I was over the moon to receive a few Wet N' Wild products from Jasmine.
Purty Persimmon initially reminded me of MAC's Lady Danger which as been on my wishlist forever so I don't need it anymore :) It is a vivid reddish orange in a matte finish and is an absolutely beautiful colour. I have swatched it with the most similar colour in my collection, Sleek Papaya Punch and you can see Purty Persimmon is darker and bolder.
As with most matte formulas this is a little bit drying when on but it's not too bad. I'm not a fan of the shape of the lipstick as I find slanted lipsticks easier to apply but it's not a huge issue. The packaging of this lipstick is basic and sleek and pretty sturdy too. I'm very impressed with the performance of this lipstick and will be checking out more Wet N' Wild lipsticks in the future.
Can I just have your curly hair? kthnxbai
ReplyDeleteThey're fake lol
DeletePah, doesn't even matter. It looks fabulous.
DeleteWhat a great colour! Wet n Wild has never made it to the UK as far as I'm aware but I hear such good things about it. The US does drugstore make up right.
ReplyDeleteThey do! I wish we had the selection and prices up here.
DeleteYou wear it better! I agree the bullet shape was odd, but I liked the staying power and color! Thanks for doing this with me :)
ReplyDeleteI found it got more slanted with wear so that made it easier to put it on. The colour is amazing, I love it! And thank you so much again for sending it to me :)
DeleteChristine lately I've been seeing Wet n Wild lipsticks (nothing else from them though) in Dollaramas our here in Alberta, maybe they have them in Toronto ones too! Love that color but still wish I could find W n W eyeliner too
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! I haven't seen them at my local Dollarama but there's a few other ones nearby me so I'll check them out.
