As the weather changes (very slowly here in Southern California), I am starting to wear more Fall/Winter appropriate colours. I really like the texture and opacity of the Wet n Wild Megalast lipsticks, so when they had their BOGO free sale, I picked up a few shades that looked just right for this season. I usually gravitate towards brights; pinks, oranges and peaches, which are great for Spring and Summer, but start to look a bit out of sync with the cooler weather. These are my Fall/Winter picks!

The texture on all of these is quite creamy, but I did prefer them with lip balm underneath. They aren't super drying like some semi-matte lipsticks though, and don't show flaky dry skin as much as I expected them to. They are all very pigmented and apply smoothly and evenly. I have noticed that they wear slightly more in the centre, but stay on for around 4 hours without having to reapply. I also ate lunch wearing Sugar Plum Fairy and it faded slightly, but still looked ok without reapplication.
Bare It All is a soft, beige nude which is very close to my skin colour. I have quite pigmented lips and this covers my natural pink very well. I love wearing this under a clear gloss for that nude lips look that is very popular in Gyaru makeup.
Dollhouse Pink is a cool toned pink which is more suitable for the cooler winter months. I don't usually wear cool shades, but this one is really pretty and I think I could pull it off with some darker neutral eyeshadows, maybe a grey or brown smoky eye
.
Think Pink is a beige peachy pink which went on a little chalky, but I managed to blend out nicely. I think nude beige colours are perfect for this time of year, especially if you shy away from the darker, vampier shades.
Speaking of vampy, Sugar Plum Fairy is a beautiful plummy burgundy, which goes on slightly more red-toned than it looks in the tube. This is really bright, but definitely a perfect Fall shade.
Mauve Outta Here is a lovely, soft, feminine mauve shade. It's classic and girly without looking too dated. I really like wearing this one when I want a more elegant look. I love the semi-matte finishes on all of these!
Wet n Wild MegaLast lipsticks come in such a huge variety of shades, it's easy to find something for every occasion or season. I have had a good experience with all of the shades I've tried so far and although they aren't perfect, they can wear unevenly and be slightly drying, I think they are well-worth the $1.99 price tag. Since I got these BOGO free, I'm even happier with the value! :D
These are the shades I'll be wearing this season! I prefer to stay away from anything too dark or brownish, as they tend to wash me out. I much prefer a soft, classic look to get me through all those Holiday parties and get togethers.
beautiful swatches! i think i have most of those colors :) I haven't tried them though because I usually have that "How am i supposed to pull this off?" kind of problem. so much thought to go into what kind of eyemakeup works... and for the more daring colors, i think styling your hair could sometimes mean the difference between trendy vs tacky. so much work! i will just admire the lipsticks for a while...
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, I think a nice smoky eye is perfect for more bold colours, while a nude lip looks great with cat eye black liner :) Hair makes all the difference! I am lazy sometimes, but thank goodness for the high bun lol
