Is it just me or does it seem like  drugstore products are really stepping up their games lately? It seems  like everyone from NYC to Wet N Wild and in between are coming out with  better packaging and higher quality products. Now I'm glad that I'm not  the type to stick to only department store brands, because there's quite  a few things that I've found at drugstores that could beat out a few of  the higher priced items you would purchase at Sephora or some other high end cosmetics place.
For example, Wet N Wild has been  revamping quite a few of their items, if not all of them it seems. I  remember my mom using this brand when I was younger, and when I got  older it was probably one of the first brands I tried because it was so  affordable. Once I got a little older howeverr, I started to shy away  from it because its packaging and products didn't seem to appeal to me  anymore and seemed a little juvenile. However, they have recently  produced a couple new items that have been garnering quite a bit of  attention lately.
These are their new lipsticks, the Mega  Last Lipcolors, and the new Mega Last Nail Polish.

I bought Just Peachy and Rose Bud


Here are the swatches on my hand-you can  see that they are pretty matte and creamy looking. If it looks like  they're shimmery, they're not, it's the camera lighting

And the swatches on my lips-they are  surprisingly pigmented! I wasn't expecting that, for some reason I  thought they might be a little more sheer. However, they tend to feel a  bit dry when you apply them, so be sure to apply some lip balm  beforehand.
Just Peachy-matte peachy nude

Rose Bud-rosy matte pink

I haven't actually worn these out yet so I  can't comment on their lasting ability, but just based on the colors  and the pigmentation, I really like these! There's a couple other shades  that I am probably going to end up purchasing. The website says that  they are supposed to last 4 hours, so I'll be sure to test them out and  let you know the results!
Here is the nail polish I also got, this  color is Through the Grapevine

I love this color! Although I wouldn't  call it "grape", it's more of a fuschia orchid color. It goes on really  well, you only need a coat or two and it dries evenly and fast. I will  definitely be repurchasing more of these!

What do you guys think? Have any of you  tried these yet? Let me know! :)
