Wet n Wild MegaLast Lip Color C918D Cherry Bomb

This color is always sold out at my local drugstore so I'm so happy to have found it on Amazon. It's the perfect shade of deep blue-red. So pretty with fair skin and dark hair. I was concerned it may too dark, but it is such a rich shade it looks elegant, not goth. I even wear it to work and my workplace is very conservative. The formula is long lasting. It lasts for several hours. I only have to reapply it once in the afternoon. The texture is surprisingly smooth for a long last lipstick and it doesn't crumble like others I've tried. It is a little dry as most long last lipsticks are, but I just put a coat of gloss over it (Clinique Black Honey is perfect for this.) The price is great too. Such a good value. Please don't ever stop making this beautiful lipstick!

Amazing color; I have been looking for a deep matte purple just like this for years. It really does look fantastic on any skin tone (I'm very fair skinned) A few pieces of advice though since this is such a dark lip color:• You will want to make sure your lips are smooth before application (I used a lip sugar scrub)• You may want to apply your favorite lip moisturizer first because it is slightly dry• This one is really important as another buyer pointed out; you will want to line your lips first!I tried it without lip liner and while it looked okay it was not as nice looking as it was with liner. I used a plum-colored lip pencil but I imagine most dark colored liners would work fine.I had to apply a couple of coats to get it nice and dark, but noted that one coat actually looks like a nice deep purple stain if you spread out evenly.All in all, AMAZING for the price (I paid under 3 dollars, it looks like the price has gone up slightly since). If you have been looking for a dark “gothic” purple look no more, it’s a steal for the price.

I wore this very same lipstick in this color when I was 19 but back then it was called "burgundy wine" or something like that. Then I couldn't find it anywhere for years and never found another color that matched but boring mauve.I wasn't sure if this was the exact same color as the burgundy I loved but it looked very like it to me. My only fear was that it might not be a suitable color anymore. I was hoping someone would mention their skin tone and age in the reviews. I took a chance buying based on someone said it is blood red (the only clue that this could be my old fave). my complexion is medium,some sun damage, foundation is honey beige, skin tans easily. To my pleasant surprise it still complements my skin. This probably can look good with most any skin tone.You will need lip balm first so it glides on otherwise it's a pain to put on. It will be a blackish red if you swipe it across your entire lip but there's a way it's adjustable. If you dab just a little on and spread it thin you can get a nice shade of red that to me is sort of like apple or maybe brick red and the black tone in it seems to vanish. There's nothing purple or pink or orange about this lipstick.

I was torn between giving this 3 or 4 stars.. in the end I chose 4 because I am REALLY really happy with this color, it did not disappoint. I'm very fair skinned; blue eyes, red head, etc. The only non-norm is that I already have very pigmented lips so typically I don't even wear lipsticks, glosses, tints, etc. But I had been in the mood for a long time to try something new and I decided something plum, or wine-y was what I wanted. I have to be careful though because anything in the wrong shade will completely wash me out, or look much too dark. I looked around online a lot to find a good, affordable color to start out with and based off the swatches I saw on others (though none as pale as me) I decided to give this a go. The texture of the lipstick is.. not waxy perse, but it did stick a bit to my lips with every application. For the most part that doesn't bother me but I found that I had a bit of a hard time keeping this off my teeth, something that I've never really had a problem with before, than any other I've tried before. This also feathered quite a bit at the edge of my lips. I never was one to wear lip liner, but I feel like this could be an exception because the feathering bugged me so much that I've actually held out on wearing this. But the color I'm extremely happy with. It's just the right balance or color and darkness and I enjoyed wearing this on and off throughout the fall. I found it to be a gorgeous, sensual color but not too dark or 'gothic', and others seemed to like it on me too. It also didn't come off with every little bump or nudge and when my hair would get whipped around by the wind, it was pleasant to *not* see little pink/red stripes all over my face. It did stain my lips a little bit even after take off but it was a pleasant color, lighter than when fully applied and would be gone by the time I woke up. I had no problems with it staining the skin around my lips, because it didn't. Over all pretty happy with this. But I definitely think I'll be getting a liner for it in the future.

Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect when I first got this. I had heard good things, but I didnt expect it to be THAT great. This lipstick is flawless. I adore it. It's the perfect natural pinky-mauve-coral colour for me and the texture is so deliciously creamy! I can't even tell you how much I love it. The packaging does feel a little cheap, but i honestly don't mind because it is really inexpensive and the product itself is amazing. These are supposed to be matte, but I found that they do look somewhat moist and creamy on the lips, but personally I think that's a good thing, as they don't dry out your lips at all! I could rave for days about this, but I'll just end by saying that if you love lipstick, you should try this one!
