Well, I’ve been talking a lot about beauty bargains I’ve been getting lately, and this just continues the beauty bargain trend! On a recent trip to North Carolina, we stopped at a big outlet that specilized in cigars, cowboy hats and tacky clothes, but also happened to have some pretty cool beauty closeout items, ranging from Rusk Hair care products to cheaper hair care products and a whole range of cosmetics that had most likely been closeouts or slightly imperfect, purchased from retail stores.
Among the beauty bargain closeouts, I found some Maybelline Wet Shine lipsticks and lip balms, in quite a few colors, that looked like the packaging was slightly imperfect, for a dollar ninety nine each. I bought a few of them, figuring I had tried Maybelline Wet Shine lipsticks and balms before and was pretty surprised at how well I liked them. Don’t get me wrong, they do not stay very well, but they’re really not designed to. Wet Shine by Maybelline is designed more as a lip gloss, and a high shine lip product that can help your lips to look plumper, more voloptuous, and add just a hint of color.
I purchased one in a Berry color, and the other in a translucent gloss. I usually slick the gloss on first and them the Berry colored gloss and get a nice, light tint to my lips that stays for about an hour, unless I’m eating or drinking. I like the fact that it’s subtle color, because I’ve never been a fan of the way I look in actual lipstick, since my lips just don’t carry off bold color right, and the shape of my face tends to not be so flattered by heavy lip stain.
I think if you’re interested in lip plumping, you may want to check out products like the Wet Shine line by Maybelline, in addition to using an actual lip plumping agent (see lip plump reviews), since high shine agents can help your lips to look fuller simply by bending the light in your favor and reflecting off of it to create a seemingly larger surface area. I always feel my lips look more pronounced and “sexy” with a little gloss on!
