Be still my heart! New lip products from Wet N Wild! I didn’t even know these were out, but there on the very top shelf of a CVS display was the Wet N Wild Mega Shield Lip Color!
14 shades are available in the line, the display had about 5 left, so I chose Salsa Lessons (of course I would gravitate towards the reddish orange shade lol)
What the Wet N Wild website has to say about Mega Shield Lip Color:
Color, comfort, and care! Luxurious color delivers hours of sheer-to-moderate coverage that glides on buttery-soft for a smooth, moist-looking pout. Lips are pampered with Vitamin E, Amino Acids, Avocado Oil, and Rice Bran Oil that moisturize and condition for silky, soft comfort. And with SPF 15, lips are cared for and protected from harmful UVB rays.
Salsa Lessons is a shiny and moisturizing reddish orange lip color.
The pigmentation is amazing and the feel is smooth. This isn’t like a lip balm, this is a thick shade that will cover your lips but not cake off. They’ll last a few hours (a little longer than a lustre lipstick but not as long as a matte shade) and are unscented.
For those of you looking for a high performing and EXTREMELY affordable lip product you are going to want to pick up a few of the Mega Shield Lip Color.
I had originally thought Salsa Lessons reminded me of MAC Watch Me Simmer, as you can tell by the below swatch I was REALLY wrong. However, that mess up did point me in the direction of an actual dupe, which is MAC Scarlet Ibis! Salsa Lessons is glossier than Scarlet Ibis, but the color is the same and Salsa Lessons will be a bit more wearable for the faint of heart because it’s not a matte.

Wet N Wild Mega Shield Lip Color retail for $2.99 each. Mine had an instant $1.00 off coupon on it, so look for those at your local drugstore or Ulta! 14 of these shades have been released and I see all of them in my not so distant future.
