Wet n Wild Silk Finish Lipsticks - Review, Photos & Swatches

Wet n Wild Silkfinish Lipsticks($1), are affordable lipsticks with great pigmentation and a smooth, silky finish that claim to deliver moist-looking lips with conditioning aloe vera. They come in 22 shades shades that range from fun colors to everyday neutrals.
L-R :516C Sunset Peach, 519A Hot Red, 525D Retro Pink, 545A Blushing Bali
516C Sunset Peach -  A shimmery, frosty coral. It looks very frosty on me since I have pigmented lips. I like to top it off with a nude gloss.
519A Hot Red - Bright red with a creme finish. Very creamy in texture, goes on smooth with a beautiful sheen. One of my favorite shades. Top it off with a clear gloss for a juicy pout!
525D Retro Pink - A very playful, bright pink with lavender undertones. This one had a grittier feel compared to the other lipsticks and went on a little patchy too.This would be a great pick for lighter skin tones.
545A Blushing Bali - A great everyday shade, perfect for people like me with pigmented lips and very flattering on most skin tones. It has a nice mix of pink & brown and the right amount of shine that keeps it from looking too flat.
L-R : 516C Sunset Peach, 545A Blushing Bali, 525D Retro Pink, 519A Hot Red
The texture of most of these lipsticks, with the exception of  525D Retro Pink, are smooth and a single swipe deposits a lot of color, almost true to what it looks in the tube. They last for about 2-3 hours just like any other lipstick would on me. They are not overly creamy so, they don't bleed either. While they may not be the most moisturizing lipsticks, they don't dry out my lips either. For the price, the packaging seems quite sturdy too. My only gripe with these lipsticks are the lipstick bullets that don't retract back completely which is not a very good thing for a clumsy person like me.

Overall, they are definitely something I would recommend especially if you love switching up your shades and want to try newer ones without breaking the bank. The lipsticks are not tiny either, they have a good amount of product in there.

What are your thoughts on the Wet n Wild Silkfinish Lipsticks?

    @Sarah - Really? I though it was ok but the lipstick bullet not retracting was something that annoyed me a lil :)

    @TheOtherSideofCool - Totally! If you love the color, you could fix the patchiness with a good gloss over :)
