Sometimes, you just don’t want to spend a lot of money on a lip gloss, whether you are on a budget, or you just want to try a different shade without plunking down a lot of cash. Wet n Wild Diamond Brilliance Lip Gloss has tiny bits of micro-glitter in it, giving them the slightest hint of sparkle and shine. My drugstore was having a sale on these, so they were reduced even further than their typical $2.99 price tag. I picked up “A Girl’s Best Friend,” and “Tamara’s Tiara,” and went home to test and wear these. Want to see swatches and what I thought of them?
Wet n Wild Diamond Brilliance Lip Gloss has sheer, buildable color to it, and contains Vitamin E to condition and moisturize your lips. One of the reasons I loved these as budget lip glosses was for their moisturizing formula. I have high-end lip glosses that dry out my lips like crazy, causing them to chap and peel, but this one felt very smooth and hydrating on my lips. Also, I like that Wet n Wild took the time to add a “diamond” to the top of the handle – it adds that cute little touch to the packaging.
A Girl’s Best Friend is a peachy pink lip gloss with silver sparkle to it. It is very sheer, and barely shows up on the lips. The color is light but still pretty for those of us who are looking for a natural lip gloss option.
I was also pleasantly surprised that for the amount of “shimmer” these glosses have, you cannot feel the micro-glitter in it at all. The lip gloss feels completely smooth, and not gritty at all. The only thing I did notice about these lip glosses is that they have a very light scent to them. If you are someone who absolutely cannot wear a lip gloss that has a slight scent to it, then you will want to skip these. For me, the scent was barely noticeable, and while it didn’t smell good, it wasn’t disgusting, either.
Tamara’s Tiara is a gorgeous ruby red that has brilliant ruby sparkle to it. Oh my, this one is a stunner! This reminds me of Dorothy’s ruby slippers, and it looks stunning on the lips. I don’t wear dramatic lips too often, but let me tell you, this one has motivated me to wear sultry lips out more than once since I bought these.
And, for good measure, let’s look at how these lip glosses look swatched on the hand…
For the beauty on a budget, the beauty who wants to get more for her money, or the experimental beauty who wants to try a new or bold lip shade, these Wet n Wild Diamond Brilliance Lip Glosses are a great option. These lip glosses are available in 7 different shades, and can be found at drugstores nationwide.
