They are so pigmented for being so inexpensive. I like their singles well enough, and would probably rank them a 7 out of 10. They recently went BOGO 50% off and I snagged a couple of singles as well as a few glitter singles. The glittery and shimmery shades are nice, but I enjoy the ones without shimmer more. I just wish there were more color options. Perhaps it's just my local store but there were only about 5-6 options.

I just picked up two of these while on sale. One was "West Vintage" which contained a light sage green, a medium green, and a beautiful plum shade. It was stunning, and I was so excited to try it out. The other shade was "Concrete Jungle" which contained navy, white, and grey. I really wanted to love both of them, especially the green/purple shades. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. I tried the green & purple trio and found that the purple especially just lacks pigment. It's sort of chalky, and there's a lot of fallout. I ended up giving up when I realized it simply was not going to do what I wanted it to. Perhaps I'll give it another try with an eyeshadow primer, but as it stands... I'd stick with Wet N Wild's trios if you're looking for an affordable eyeshadow trio.

$3 for a translucent face powder that goes on beautifully? It's an absolute steal. It's my favorite face powder, partially because of the price but also because of the quality. It goes on so nicely, and keeps me matte. I love it.

But I don't think the bronzer is as amazing as some of the other people I've talked to seem to think it is. It's okay, don't get me wrong. But it's one of those items I just don't seem to reach for as often as I do for others. I'm medium skinned and wanted this for contouring, but I haven't gotten it to work for me the way I hoped it would. Perhaps more practice is required, but as it stands, it's kind of a "meh" for me.

Yes, it's affordable but it's definitely a case of "you get what you pay for." For me, this gave my under-eye area a weird yellowish hue and didn't blend as nicely as I'd like. I wouldn't purchase it again.

...and frankly, I think their dollar lipsticks are better. This lacks the same level of pigmentation, and tends to dry out my lips a lot more. Same packaging problems with this NYC lippie as with other NYC lipsticks, unfortunately.

I have almost every shade of this lipstick, if not every shade. I really love this line. The biggest downfall is the packaging. It just feels cheap, and it can be difficult to get the lipstick out without scraping it along the sides. Irritating, but for $1, it's not a huge deal.

I must admit, I'm a fan of the Wet N Wild line as far as drugstore makeup goes. The Mega Last lipsticks are awesome, and these are quite nice as well. Like the Mega Last lip colors, these wear off quickly, perhaps even more so than the Mega Lasts. But the color is nice, and they do feel silky and don't dry out my lips. The pigmentation is nice; not top of the line by any means, but well worth the price tag.

...on a whim. They were on sale for 99 cents a piece, and I had a stash of Wet N Wild coupons on hand, so I picked up the entire line of them for a song. I had watched some videos on Youtube calling certain shades MAC dupes, and to say the least, I was incredibly skeptical. A $2 drugstore lippie is normally just that. But I am incredibly impressed with these lipsticks. They are amazing for the price. They go on very smoothly, and are pigmented and matte, as advertised. The biggest issue I have with them is that they don't last long. Regular re-application is necessary. But for the price, they're worth it.

I snagged this in shade 111 and 107. One of is a pure red and the other is a rich, deep red with berry undertones. Both are absolutely stunning. They are truly matte and so incredibly pigmented. The biggest downfall is the longevity; I did need to reapply throughout the day. But, for $5 each at CVS (and I got mine BOGO 1/2 off with a $3 off $8 CVS coupon, so they were much cheaper), they're well worth the money spent on them.
