WET N WILD LIMITED EDITION MAKEUP REVIEW | ZODIAC, LITTLE TWIN STARS & CARE BEARS

Prepare yourself  for another post in our Feeling Pretty series...

I haven't shared many of my makeup releases over the past year or two, so I thought it would be fun to put together one epic roundup featuring some of my newer limited edition favorites. I made sure that everything included in this post is still available to purchase — because there's nothing worse than falling in love with a product you can't get anymore!

If you love affordable drugstore makeup, cute packaging, and fun collaborations, then you're going to love these Wet n Wild collections. Today we're talking about the Zodiac Lip Glosses, the adorable Little Twin Stars collection, and the colorful Care Bears release. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wet n Wild Zodiac Collection:

Wet n Wild a beautiful Zodiac Color Icon Lip Gloss collection, and Kaitlyn and I immediately fell in love when we first saw them. These glosses are packed with shimmer and inspired by all 12 zodiac signs — making them perfect for astrology lovers and sparkle fans alike. 

Even better, these lip glosses are super affordable and easy to find both in stores and online. Between the two of us, we own about half of the shades — and honestly, it's tempting to collect them all!


This collection features12 shimmery shades, perfect for fall or any time of the year. The packaging is really pretty, although the gold design on the tubes can scratch off over time — minor heartbreak, but still worth it. These glosses feel smooth on the lips, aren't sticky, and pair beautifully over other lipsticks. There's a tiny bit of shimmer grit, and some shades can be a little tricky to remove. Don't be surprised if your lips stay sparkly after trying to clean them off! (Kaitlyn always wears these over another lip color and hasn't noticed any gritty texture, so maybe it's a layering thing.)

Pisces:



Sheer sparkly chrome cool pink.


Libra:



Sparkly chrome warm pink with a subtle gold shimmer.


Capricorn:



Cool dark rose with gold sparkles.


Virgo:



Soft cool taupe purple color with a sparkly finish.


Sagittarius:



Soft warm plum color with gold and pink sparkles.


Aries:

 



Vampy deep warm burgundy satin finish — the only non-sparkly gloss in the Zodiac collection. Two coats recommended for full coverage. 

These affordable glosses are available on the Wet n Wild website for $3.79Amazon for $2.98 - $3.18, and Walmart for $3.18. Aren't they gorgeous? I highly recommend snagging one...or all 12

Wet n Wild Little Twin Stars Collection:

I have the adorable Cotton Candy Clouds face palette, and Kaitlyn has the lip mousse. The whole collection can be purchased on Amazon if you want to go all-in.


Cotton Candy Clouds:

The Cotton Candy Clouds palette is incredibly cute! Embossed details, 15 vibrant shades in matte, shimmer, and glitter, and it even smells lightly fruity — maybe a Lip Smacker vibe? Most shadows are pigmented, blend easily, and glide onto the eyelids beautifully. Glitter shades work best over a similar color base. Some shades aren't technically eye-safe — but many people, including me, have used them on the eyes without issue.

Lip Mousse

Lost In A Cloud:



The lip mousse has a smooth matte-satin finish, creamy, hydrated feel, and medium coverage. A tiny bit of glitter is in the mousse, but you really have to look for it. The shade is a warm matte rose — perfect for a natural, everyday look. 

The palette can be purchased on Amazon for $13.99, and the lip mousse is $5.99 on Amazon.

Wet n Wild Care Bears Collection:

Released in April, I spotted the Care Bears Collection at Smith's Marketplace recently — months after its initial release! I wasn't initially a Care Bears fan (my mom insists I was as a kid), but I couldn't resist the colorful eye and face palette and the Give Me TLC lip care kit.



Caring Counts:

The Caring Counts palette has 15 vibrant shades in soft matte, shimmer, and glitter. Pigmentation and bendability are great, and glitter shades pop best over a similar base. Two shadows aren't eye-safe, but I've tried them without issue.

Give Me TLC Lip Care Kit:

I bought the Give Me TLC Lip Care Kit as a set, and honestly, it's like a little spa day for your lips! It comes with both a lip scrub and an overnight lip mask, so your lips get double the pampering.




Make It Sweet:



This gentle lip scrub is super soft on the lips while still doing its job. It smells like Birthday Cake (not honey, but still yummy!) and comes in a convenient stick — no poking around in a tiny pot with your fingers. Using this will leave your lips feeling smooth, soft, and ready for any lip color you want to throw at them. If you just want the scrub by itself, you can grab it on Amazon.

Play, Sleep & Repeat:



This hydrating overnight lip mask keeps your lips soft and smooth while you snooze. It's lavender-scented (Kaitlyn's not a fan, but I personally don't mind it) and also comes in stick form, so no mess while you're half-asleep. Apply before bed and wake up with lips that feel pampered and ready for a cozy day. The lip mask can be purchased on Amazon.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overall, the Caring Counts palette and the Give Me TLC Lip Care Kit make the perfect pair — bright, fun shadows for your eyes and soft, hydrated lips to match. Both are playful, easy to use, and perfect for adding a pop of color while keeping things low-stress and fun. 

If you pick up any of these, let me know what you try first — I want to hear all about your favorites!
