Cherry Bomb

Cherry Bomb is a rich dark blood red.

Wet N Wild's lipsticks are super cheap, and offer great pigmentation. I like the nearly matte but still cream finish and soft feel.

I find only two downsides: the packaging and feathering.

The packaging is a basic twist-up lipstick base with a clear lid. The downside is that when you first buy the lipstick, you cannot twist the product itself under the lip of the lid, which means that smooshing the product against the lid is a very common occurrence. It's downright frustrating.

Then is the feathering. This formula is so good, except for the feathering. Even if you leave it on for just a small amount of time it will leak into the small lines around your lips and leave veiny lines of redness. It also stains badly so it's difficult to remove these feathers discretely.

CONCLUSION

For the price it's a pretty color, sure. The downsides to the formula and packaging are enough for me to not want to buy Wet N Wild Mega Last lipsticks again, but maybe you won't mind. I haven't tried using an anti-feather lipliner but I suppose it might help.

For an alternative, both Revlon and Milani have great, well documented dupes for this color.
