NEW! Wet 'n' Wild Megashield lip color SPF 15

Hellooo there! It has been so long since I posted! School has kept me very busy. I have many photos to edit and "jewels of the day" posts to write, so it will take me a while to get caught up, but I'll get there. For now I would like give a review of some new Wet 'n' Wild products that came out a few weeks ago. They are called "megashield lip color" and have an spf of 15, so they will protect your lips if you are out in the sun. Usually when I am in the sun I have to just wear a lip balm with SPF, and I usually don't wear lipstick over it because when I used to do that my lips would still get irritated regardless of the spf in the lip balm (maybe the lipstick formula dilutes the spf in the lip balm? must investigate further).

SO I am pretty excited about this product! I love that I get to have opaque color and sun protection-cute and safe! The color range is pretty decent for this type of product, there are 14 colors total ranging from nude to deep red (not your normal tinted lip-balm that only comes in 4 colors). This product is described as a lipstick, and applies as one-smooth and opaque-giving nice creamy color. So far I only have 2 colors: Bare-ly Legal and It's a Girl.
 Bare-ly Legal is this great, deep nude shade. It is a little too dark to wear as a nude for my skin color, but would fit perfectly for those who have medium-dark skin tones.

It's a Girl is an adorable, baby-pink color (hence the name), very girly and bright! I love the way this color looks on my lips and I can't wait to wear it throughout this spring.

Both colors are very creamy, and have a shine but no shimmer. The shine is probably because of whatever they use for SPF in the formula, and in real life it is not as reflective as the photos (camera flash was needed). Because these are lipsticks, they last as long as lipsticks. I actually find that it does not transfer as much as regular lipsticks when I eat or drink something while wearing it.

I am loving these lipsticks and can't wait to go pick up a few more colors, it will be easily affordable because they are only $2.99 at the drugstore!

Thanks for hanging in there while I am preoccupied with school, I'm sure the summer will allow for much more blog posting and videos!

Protection and Prettiness,
Barbi
