Wet N Wild Megalast Lipstick in Nightcap
Wet N Wild Megalast lippies ruled the drugstore makeup department some time ago. People went crazy over the formula, great color payoff and color range. I've tried a couple of their lipsticks from other lines but never a matte one.
Then, I saw a nice deal on Amazon. They're selling a set for a special price so I thought I could finally know what's the deal with these lippies.
The other shades in the set are not right up my alley so I decided to sell them and just get my top pick.
And here it is.

And here it is.
Color & Finish
The shade is called Nightcap, a chocolate brown color. The first time I wore this, I instantly thought of doing a 90's-inspired look. Haha! 😏
It's from the brand's 2015 Fall Collection and it's not in the permanent line.
I would say that it's not completely matte, because when applied, there's still some shine.
Even though it's really pigmented at first swipe, you can still add a second layer to get a more intense color.
Application
As expected, I can't get a perfect application without the help of a lip brush. It's easy to glide though because it's creamy. It's just that, when I put my lips together to blend it, I would end up having a mess around my lips.
teeth looking whiter too
Formula
I was actually expecting that it would feel drying on the lips, but it's not. It's a matte lippie but it doesn't feel heavy.
Lasting Power
Here's the downfall.
I had high hopes that it would stay on my lips for 4 hours as claimed. Yea, the color is there but I hate how it fades. Like if I put on a full-lip, even without drinking or eating, the color on the middle part fades.
It also transfers easily and doesn't leave a stain.
I can't say though if it's also the same deal with the normal Megalast lippies - the permanent ones.
Nevertheless, I still like to rock this color and maybe next time, I'll try to blot it with a tissue first, then apply a second or third layer and see how it goes.
Dupe Alert
Yep, I found a dupe from my collection!
If it's 100% matte, it would likely be an exact dupe. Color-wise, Nightcap and Kae by Colourpop look the same.
So there, expect more brown lippies (nude or vampy) here on le blog. Haha! 😏
