Actually, let's talk about what this post was supposed to be. So this was supposed to be a video. I filmed it but didn't like how it turned out, so it's a post instead. It was supposed to be a haul/review, but I was sick so I didn't get a chance to review a lot of these. Instead of calling this a fail, I'm calling it a haul. Sometimes things don't go as planned, and that's how we ended up here.
Thanks to a discount code from Hannah, I did a little haul last month or so from Wet N Wild. I love this affordable (and really good) drugstore brand, but I've never ordered from them online and I've never done a haul just of their stuff. That changes now. If you haven't checked them out since you were in high school, I highly recommend you do so. Don't knock it 'til you try it! Here's what I got:
My order begins with a stick blush, stick highlight, and stick bronzer. I wasn't really impressed with these. I couldn't tell how warm and dark the bronzer was online, so those were disappointments.
Speaking of highlight, I caved and got a powder one, my weakness. It's really good.
Next is WNW's version of micellar water. It's not bad, but has a little oily residue after.
The Gel Lip Balm reminds me of Babylips and I really like it. Unscented and a kiss of color.
The Cushion is not my fave formula, but it wasn't bad.
Skinny Eyeliner and Skinny Mascara--the eyeliner is really good but the mascara was dried out.
Do you wear Wet N Wild?
Have you tried any of these?
Have you tried any of these?
I love Wet n Wild products! Especially their price tag :) I really want to try that highlight!

I haven't used Wet n Wild in forever but those sticks are amazing! How perfect are they for on the go?! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
ReplyDeleteI have never worn Wet and Wild but some of these I might have to consider!

What a haul! How cool that they make micellar water now - it's always nice to have more cleansing options!
ReplyDeleteElle, I am SOOOO behind on my blog reading, so be prepared for an insane amount of comments from me over the next half hour. (;
ReplyDeleteI recently picked up the new photo focus foundation from wet n wild and man was I blown away! It's actually great for a $5 foundation, and the color match is super close. I actually bought mine maybe one shade too dark on accident, but in several weeks when I get some Spring color, it will be spot on! Check it out!
I haven't used Wet n Wild in years! Looking forward to your review of the micellar water, I've been looking for a new one to try. Happy Thursday, Elle!

Hi dear, I didin't know these products..but thanks to your review I?m very curious to try them
ReplyDeletekisses
I am getting the stick highlighter ASAP! I'm learning to use highlighter in good ways to perk up this face. If only I could do the contour as good. I end up with weird dark spots on my face ... I'm apparently not good at blending.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get my hands on all of these! I'm still on y spending ban so I'm trying really hard to behave myself.

I guess I've never tried the Wet & Wild line because I thought they were "cheap". I should know better than to categorize like that.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to give it a shot!

I haven't tried any of these but can't wait to hear your thoughts on the highlighter, mascara, and liner.
ReplyDeleteI always love hearing about affordable buys and I can't wait to see how you like the powder highlighter!

I haven't worn wet and wild since high school, look at them all grown up! I can't wait for the micellar water review!
ReplyDeleteI never get as long of wear for nail polish as they claim, but anything more than 3 days without chips is great as far as I am concerned. Love hearing what you get from ELF and Wet N'Wild because they are such affordable brands. It's so nice to try something without breaking the bank, then you don't feel bad if it doesn't work out!
ReplyDeleteLeave it to you to inform us on the latest drugstore buys. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the micellar water and cushion.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried Wet n' Wild, but that highlighting powder looks fun!

I'm sorry to hear that you are under the weather. I hope you are feeling better. I hate it when my videos don't turn out right. I can also rewrite a post but I usually can't reshoot a video.
ReplyDeleteStinks the bronzers were a disappointment. I have a skinny eye liner by Covergirl (I think??) and really like it. Interested to see what you think about this one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great haul! Can't wait to read your thoughts on The Cushion :)
ReplyDeleteI havent used Wet n Wild in forever! Looks like I need to check them out again!

If I am not mistaken, I wore Wet n Wild when I studied in San Diego, but now I am not wearing it anymore - and reading your post, especially about the highlighter, I would like to give it a try again - I am looking for a good powder highlighter for ages! The lip balm sounds good, too, and as I don't wear bronzer, and for you it was a disappointment, one more reason not to wear it :) But the brand is good! I am waiting for the "cushion review" :) Curious, I like cushion products!

How fun! I would love to try those sticks and that lip balm sounds wonderful! I hope you have a GREAT weekend full of sweet MOMENTS!!
ReplyDeleteHow did you like the highlighting powder? I have heard it works really good. Love a good highlighting product!
ReplyDeleteWow...these all are so lovely products...!! Wet and wild seems like a great n promising brand...thanks for introducing to this lovely brand...xx, Neha

I'm so glad you used the code. I didn't want it to go to waste! I bought the cushion contour, but I haven't tried it yet. I'm pretty sure it will be too dark/warm for me, but I want to give it a go anyway. I'm interested to see your thoughts on the micelles water. I wasn't a fan. I got the base coat too and I like it.
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying wet n wild, and I'm so happy about all the new stuff they are coming out with! Their powder highlighters look so pretty. I'm excited for your review on the micellar water. I've been wanting to try out they new lip liners, and I'm trying out he new photo focus foundation. Great haul Elle! It's okay of things don't go as planned!
ReplyDeletewet and wild! that brings me back to highschool! i bet that these products look so pretty on you, would love to see you with them on i bet you look so pretty!

Wet n Wild has been a little hit and miss for me, but that's the case for most drugstore brands, and even higher end brands, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI got their new Catsuit Liquid Matte lipstick a few weeks ago in two shades: a light one that was very streaky, and a deep fuchsia that's very good. That's the thing, I find their quality inconsistent.

I still haven't tried anything from Wet 'n' Wild and I have to be honest it has never really been a brand that has drawn me in. I like the look of the highlighter though and the gel lip balm and I will definitely keep an eye out for your reviews :) x
ReplyDeleteI see so many wet n wild products I want to try, especially the Highlighter! Great haul Elle!
ReplyDeleteI love finding dupes or products that are a really good quality but not alot of money! These look like some great options!

Can't say I've ever used any of these products but I do think I may have seen them here or there. Might need to try them out next time round

Great haul. I have ordered few products from Wet n Wild latest release, they look good.
ReplyDeleteGlamupGirls
Love the haul! I haven't purchased any of these, but I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the micellar water and the cushion.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure the Wet N Wild stuff I've tried has been stuff you've recommended. I'm going to have to try some of these, like that lip balm!
ReplyDeleteI see some stuff that I would love to try! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteNice haul! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on everything. I really liked the cushion products. They're pretty great.
