Yes, put it down to one of those makeup blogger's problems - its easy to get distracted lol When I picked it up I think they were just being launched because I remember seeing the "NEW" sticker on them.

REVIEW:

As mentioned I picked this lipstick earlier this year around March/April, but never got around to using it till last week.

Wet 'N Wild has a good 20 shades to choose from in this particular range of Mega Last Lip Colors. I gravitate towards plummy colours as I find they flatter my skin tone the most so I naturally picked this one up.

The swatch on my hand was promising - it had a good colour pay-off. Here it it on my lips, please note, that the flash washed out the colour a bit, it is def. richer that in appears.

  

I was actually pleasantly surprised with the depth of colour. I also thought it may be a bit drying , but that wasn't so. Not that this packs a ton of moisture, but it doesn't turn out too waxy and drying on my dry lips either. 

This has a matte finish, there are no shimmers of any kind. Which make it a good candidate for the work place. It didn't feather or flake  on me either which darker matte finishes do sometimes.

The first time I tried this was in the evening - I actually went to sleep with it on. In the morning my lips weren't dry and there was still a very good hint of colour left.

The second time I wore it to work - it lasted the 4 hours as promised and then a bit more. It also survived my morning mug of tea quite well.

After that I had lunch and that's when it faded away  to a tint , so I had to reapply. So the manufacturer's claim of 4-hour wear is def. true - you will probably get a lot longer wear if you aren't eating or drinking heavily. But you will def. need to re-apply through out a regular day. 

VERDICT: 4/5 - For the price , coverage and colour range I def. think this is worth checking out and buying. I always think items priced this low is a great way to try out a different colour which you may not be too comfortable with as well. If you like matte finishes this is also worth looking at. Based on my experience with this formula, I am def. going to try other colours myself.
