I have been waiting for a wet n wild drugstore deal for a while and I finally came across one!* This deal is for 40% off! I have seen a lot of buy one get one 50% offs in the past, but 40% is a lot better! Buy one get one 50% off is really only 25% off (at best) because you have to pay full price for one item and half for the other. With 40% off you can get however many items you want and they're all discounted by 40%!
So here's what I bought, all of this was UNDER $10 including tax!! (In CA):
From left to right: Lust 248 eyeshadow, lipstick 502A, Wild Shine nail color in Wildcard and Metallica, Speed gloss in 946 Crazed, and Knock on Wood 383B eyeshadow.
Here's a closer look at the eyeshadows:
Lust
I've heard really great things about wed n wild eyeshadows and I've been a long lover of their lipsticks (lots of color selection for a very small price!!)
The eyeshadows did not disappoint. They were actually much more intense colors than I thought and the first time I tried them I had to stop myself from getting too much on my brush. That being said, I would be careful of these colors as they are more intense/slightly darker than they appear in the palette. The formulations of these eyeshadows are very good, they apply smooth and are very pigmented. I had a little bit of trouble blending them but I think that will come with practice as I'm not used to shadows that are as powdered as these are. I know some people don't like powdered eyeshadows but with a light hand you can create some beautiful looks with these.
The Lust palette is my favorite of the two! It's organized with matte shades on the left and shimmery shades on the right. The top two colors are more eyelid/browbone colors, the next two are deeper more colorful shades and the bottom two can be used for your crease or as a powder liner. It was $4.99 originally and $2.99 after the discount.
Knock on Wood
The Knock on Wood palette has three shades with their suggested uses stamped onto them. The top shadow has some tiny glitter and is dusty rose color, the middle shadow is a deep chocolate brown and the third is a plum/burgundy. The bottom two shadows are not glittery but they are not matte either, they have some shimmer to them (so be aware if you are only interested in matte colors). It was originaly $2.99 on sale for $1.79.
Oh and definitely don't be afraid to use the colors other than how they're listed! I used the browbone color on my lid and the eyelid color on my outer corner instead and I thought that was a really pretty look! That's the best thing with these palettes you can experiment with different combinations and they all look so pretty together!
I have not been able to try either of the nail polishes yet as I've just recently had a pedicure but I'm in love with how pretty of a color Wild Card is (the purple) and I think Metallica is a color that is coming in this spring. Each of them was only $0.99 and I got them for $0.59 on sale.
Probably the most interesting thing I bought was the "Speed Gloss" which is a new product by wet n wild. It claims to have energy-boosting ingredients for a fusion of intense color and shine, with a kick! I thought that sounded amusing even if it didn't work and the color was a really pretty purple-berry (although it comes off more berry than it looked. I will say I honestly did feel more energized after trying it on but that is probably just because I was so excited for the awesome deals I got! The applicator is plastic and I like how it's a squeeze tube so I won't waste as much product but I am not sure how easy it will be to squeeze all of the gloss out. This isn't a sticky formula which is nice, but stay power is just so-so. Regular price, $3.99, on sale for $2.39.
The last product I purchased was one of their regular line lipsticks. this is a really pretty color (a bit darker than I usually go for) but I figured it was such a good deal, why not? I have a few of their lipsticks and some of them I really love so it's worth the $0.99 ($0.59 on sale)! This lipstick is a berry color with a blue undertone but gold shimmer!
