Wet n Wild Liquid Lip Color - Review

I recently purchased the Wet n Wild Liquid Lip Color in the shade Pocketful of Roses.

I just realised, I left it French side up woops!

I was really looking forward to using it as the colour is so unusual, a deep pink verging on purple. 

It has a flat applicator, not as long and thin as the Essence XXL Shine gloss but still good for precision application.

The consistency is thick, much like most liquid lipsticks. However, it's incredibly sticky and just doesn't dry.

I took this picture just after applying it to my hand but this is as dry as it gets. 

Think in Primary School when you get a really thick layer of poster paint on your painting and you're left with wet ridges of paint that never dry. 

I took this picture about half an hour after application. As you can see, it's dry and crinkled. It's also so sticky it feels like semi-dry superglue. 

As you can see, it looks just as dry and flaky on my lips as it does on my hand. Again, it stayed incredibly sticky and stuck my lips together as if I'd added eyelash glue to the mixture. I didn't leave this on for more than an hour each time I tried it, but I can imagine over a few hours, chunks of it would flake off.

Trying to remove this was a whole other ordeal. It doesn't budge. If it was any good, I'd be rejoicing over the staying power.

I applied some Garnier Micellar Water to a cotton pad and wiped, scrubed and scratched. I then did the same with some q-tips. After about 10 minutes, I'd gotten the majority of the sticky, clumpy mess off my face. 

I suggest not wasting your money on Wet n Wild Liquid Lip Colours if the rest of them are anything like Pocketful of Roses. 

What annoys me the most is that I've loved every other makeup product I've purchased from Wet n Wild so I expected pretty good results.

Let me know if you've tried any of these as I'd love to know how they worked (or didn't work) for you.

Makeup and Lush Haul

As you know, I was in Dublin on Saturday so I decided to get some shopping in. I didn't go too insane but I really wanted to show you guys what I got because haul posts are my favourite kind of posts.

Living in Wexford - the town that cosmetic companies forgot - we still don't have a Wet n' Wild stand and probably won't be getting one in the near future so myself and LilliWhiteRose headed straight to Dunnes to pick up a few pieces. Surprisingly I only picked up two items, I think I was overwhelmed with choice.

I got the ColorIcon 5 pan eyeshadow palette in The Naked Truth and a MegaLast lipgloss in the shade Pocketful of Roses E928A.

We then popped into Boots where I planned to only get one item. As if. Obviously I had to avail of the 3 for 2 offer or I would have seemed rude.

I picked up the Soap&Glory Kick-Ass Concealer in the shade medium which I'm so excited to use after hearing so many good things about it.
I instantly fell in love with this Eco Tools Fresh & Flawless five piece brush set and couldn't even consider leaving it behind. Probably my favourite purchase of the day. Are they not the prettiest brushes ever? I think I'll do a full review of these soon.

I couldn't decide what to get as my third item so I settled on nail polish. I picked up the Rimmel I Heart Lasting Finish in the shade Pop Your Pink.

Finally we went to Lush. 

I decided on a Sex Bomb bath balistic, Titsy Totsy bath ballistic and King of Skin massage bar.

I'm looking forward to using Titsy Totsy as I've never tried it before and I really like the idea of having petals in my bath. 

I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know if you did. :)

Daily Winter Essentials Haul

Today I decided to go on a little shopping trip to pick up a couple of items I was out of/wanted to try, and a couple of impulse buys of course. 

I popped into Penny's (Primark) first with the intention of getting a new chunky knit snood. I decided on a mustard coloured one. I also found a light weight material grey skater skirt marked down to €3. I figured I should pick up a pair of touch screen gloves too seen as they were only €1.50 and my tiny, cold clammy hands need protection in full fingered glove form. 

I needed to go into Superdrug to get a new concealer. I left with more than a new concealer. 

I decided on Collection's Lasting Perfection 16 hour stay in the shade Light 2. I wasn't looking to try something new but I did need to get a lighter shade than my usual Medium 3 because my face has become rather pasty this month. 

I really wanted a deep berry shade nail varnish but I also wanted a more red tonned festive colour. I found just what I was looking for with a Barry M Nail Paint in the colour "Raspberry". 

I planned on picking up a red lipstick of some sort but changed my mind when I saw the shade "402 Across the Universe" from Rimmel's Apocalips range. 

This is a beautifully dark vampy red and I'm so excited to use it.

Before I left I picked up a Palmer's lip balm. I've wanted to try one of these for a while and I decided I might as well just get one. I just got the original because I find a lot of flavoured lip products make me nauseous. 

Have you guys tried any of these products and did you like them? Let me know. :)
