okay yes..i make some last cosmetic buying before i delivered my baby. though i promised to finish some of my lipstick tubes before buying another lipstick, but i can't resist it.. i decided to buy some wet n wild megalast lipstick and some mac lipstick samples. actually i wanted to plunge and buy several wet n wild or several samples, but that's a lot of money to spend and i don't know if i will like it or not, so i decided to be wise and try a couple before deciding which one to buy from next.
this is the product description from their website: megalast lip color
lips take center stage! this 4-hour, longwearing lip color leaves a semi-matte, creme finish in one stroke. glides on easily with rich, velvety color that doesn't cake, feather, or bleed. made with hydrating skincare ingredients: hyaluronic microspheres provide extraordinary adhesion to lips, an exclusive polymer complex offers cushion-like feel and texture, and natural marine plant extracts coenzyme q10 and vitamin a&e help smoothes lips.
there are 26 colors to choose from, but i decided to pick only 2 for now.. and this time i'll review the first one, just peachy.
the packaging: the lipstick tube is black plastic with transparent plastic cap. i thought the lipstick part that pop outside the tube body is just for show, that i can twist the body to make it disappear.. but turn out, the lipstick part is taller than the tube body, so if i'm not careful, i can hit it when trying to close the lipstick. ouch.. and there's the lipstick label at the bottom, with the shade name and number on it.
the color: it's a subtle nude peach, slightly toward orange than pink. i can say that it's very similar to what it's like on the tube. for paler skin, this color might look pale on you, but if you want to find nude color, probably this might be one to try. on medium skin, this will look great.. on darker skin though.. i'm not sure.. might be too pale or might not show up at all.
the finish: though the web said that it's a semi-matte finish, for me it's matte.
the performance: though some said that this lipstick is not drying, but for me, it's very drying. i have to use lip butter or lip balm underneath. though i agree that it glides smoothly. but if i didn't use any lip balm or lip butter, my lips will look chapped even though i had scrubbed it before. the 4 hour lasting time... i'm not sure about it, but since i eat and drink when i use it, i'm pretty sure that it didn't last that long if you're eating and drinking. since the color is pretty light, it fade gracefully, not forming a line or feathering. but i'm not sure about the bold color though..
overall, for a price that cheap, i'll say that this is a nice matte lipstick, but not for me. i don't like it since it makes my lips dry. but if you like matte lipstick and don't have lips that dry easily, then i suggest you should try it. this particular shade is very popular though.. since many bloggers said that it will suit to many skin tones. for me, if i want matte lipstick, i'll stick to nyx SLMC though.. but if you're on tight budget, then spend on these instead.
