Drugstore Lip Products - Yay or Nay?

Wet n Wild Mega Slicks, Wet n Wild Natural Blend Lip
Shimmer, Jordana Modern Matte

I found two Wet n Wild lip products and one Jordana at my local Walgreens which looked interesting, and I wanted to try them.

All these lip products are inexpensive and probably available at most Walgreens around the nation. The two Wet n Wild products were regular $1.79 each or 2 for $3 with the Rewards Card, the latter which you could also earn 500 Balance Rewards points. The Jordana product was $2.49.

The Wet n Wild Mega Slicks lip gloss was just okay for me. It smelled fine but when I put it on my lips, it was just too shimmery for me. Maybe if I was 30 years or more younger :) this would have looked just right for me. On the other hand, I may try to wear this over some lipstick. But this really isn't as sheer as what I would like in a lip gloss.

The Jordana Modern Matte was in the color Matte Tease. It is a pretty color but other than that, I thought this was awful. It had a vanilla scent which seemed pleasant but when I applied it to my lips, it tasted terrible. It was hard to apply and did not go on smoothly. This lip product was not moisturizing at all. I would not recommend purchasing this at all.


Of the three lip products the Wet n Wild Natural Blend Lip Shimmer was the best. It is very sheer and really is more of a lip balm. It smells minty and would probably mask your breath if you didn't have breath mints. The packaging it nice and it twists up around the middle part of the product.

Overall, you can find some nice lip products at the drugstore at very reasonable prices especially if you are working on a budget. You also don't need to settle either. It is always fun to try out new products, and remember, many of the drugstore guarantee their products 100 percent, so if you don't like them, you can take them back with your receipt.
