C369S Salsa Lessons- Wet & Wild Megashild Lip color-
When I got it, it was in this condition, intact packaging with transparent seal, as you can see below-
Packaging- It comes in a half transparent and half black lipstick cover. Its packed with two transparent stickers and when you tear off the stickers, along with it you will find a long paper attached, where it's mentioned that- It's cruelty free; which means, these are not tested on animals! So, good for me as I support cruelty free goods! :) There's also a expiring date tagged sticker on it, showing a month of 2014! It's good to know when to toss it away and till how long I can use it!
the sticker that mentions about its being cruelty free-
Price wise, It's packaging is quite poor and I think it needs to be upgraded, the packaging makes it very fragile type and it can actually break to easily. After I opened it, I could easily notice this thing, that in one side- there's a prominent sign of sharp edge on the lipstick, ruining its intact look!
After opening-
It looks quite intense bloody red after opening the cap and in daylight, it shows pure orangy red, but color wise it's not much deep and not very intense. The fun bit about this color is - it looks vibrant as a solid lipcolor as well as on the lips also!
Like I said before- the packaging makes it fragile and easily breakable, here you can see the crack in the lipstick even when its intact and untouched. It was already like this, from the first condition, without opening or touching it. And, it was soo clear that, it's the packing systems' fault. The crack lies in the neck line of the lipstick, and in fixable as it will happen again, if i try to fix it! For me, it's quite cheap looking pack and also quality wise it's not good! Wet Wild could make it f.......a......r better! In fat their Mega-last range is also better than this packaging!

Review -
Review on my lips-
Color- It's totally tangy red as color. As you can see- pigment wise, it's very mild, not so intense.. It's entirely glossy and while applying it glides a little too easily and can be a bit problematic to keep it within liplines. Since it has no smell, i like it. I like how it keeps the moisture locked on the lips!
In Daylight- in daylight, it looks quite light to me! I like it more in indoor showing a little darker shade.
Indoor-Close- Detailed look-
I like this darker looking version better, in indoor and it shows a little more intensity. Though it doesn't stay for long, and transfers to food or whatever gets in contact with your lips. It leaves a very dull stain on the lips after the lipstick is gone. The stain simply doesn't look good and makes the lips dry and cracked look can be noticed. So, it's better to reapply it when it's gone or seems lighter.
