I Bought Some Fall Lipsticks! Wet N' Wild Megalast Lipstick Review and Swatches


I'm a pinky-nude lipstick kinda girl. Seriously, I could be president of the "buying different lipsticks in the same color" club. I have no idea what came over me, but I recently picked up some honest-to-goodness fall colors. 

I now own a purple lipstick. 

Who am I? 

I picked up three shades of the Wet N' Wild Megalast Lipsticks because I've heard good things about them and the $1.99 price tag is extremely appealing. 


The three shades I decided on were 902C: Bare it All, 906D: Wine Room, and 908C: Sugar Plum Fairy. 

These lipsticks are straight up gorgeous. Creamy, pigmented, and extremely long wearing. My only complaint is that the rounded tip makes precise application a tad bit difficult. But a lip brush and a steady hand can fix that with no problem. 


For $2 I was extremely impressed with the quality of these lipsticks. I will definitely be picking up more from the line soon!

The "It's Almost Fall" Makeup Look

There is a hint of fall in the air in Texas! And by a hint of fall I mean that it's below 90 degrees. But hey, beggars can't be choosers.

It's a lovely Sunday and I decided that I wanted to try my hand at a summer-to-fall transition look. It's a bit too warm here for a maroon lip, but it's definitely too late in the season for my favorite teal eyeliner. I came up with something bronzed and golden, but still shimmery enough to be appropriate for warmer weather.


I used a shimmery bronze cream shadow in the lid, a matte brown as well as a shimmery dark brown in the crease, and a matte dark brown shadow for the liner, which I brought down a little on the lower lashline as well. Apparently I have a thing for brown eyeshadow this fall...


I finished things off with some thick, black mascara and a nude lip. 

The cast: 
Maybelline bad to the bronze color tattoo
Mac eyeshadows in soft brown and mulch
Studio Gear single eyeshadow in Dark Chocolate 
Makeup Forever smoky extravagant mascara
L'oreal Color Riche lipstick in fairest nude
L'oreal Color Riche lipgloss in nude touch 
Elf Blush in candid coral


And now comes the part of the show where Maddie, the sassiest golden retriever in all the land, decides to crash my photo shoot. 




We sure do love her. 

Let me know how you liked the look! How are you celebrating fall where you live?
