When I sat down to do my Wet'n'wild Midnight Mermaid collection review I was really drawn to the Metallic Liquid Eyeshadows. I love the idea of just swiping on glitter without the mess of multiple products. It seems like the kind of thing you could even throw in your makeup bag to take you from day to night. I was determined to try these just about every way I thought people might use them, so I used them on my eyes, brows and my lips. I did smile and rub tests to see if the lipsticks would kiss off, and rub tests to see if the eye glitter would rub off. I'm pretty sure I tested the wetnwild mermaid collection every which way- and I want to make it clear that I know these are not intended for the lips, so I don't hold it against them that they don't wear well there- it was super pretty while it lasted though! On the eyes it's another story- after about a half hour of wear they went patchy, they didn't pass the blend or brush test, and the fallout was pretty intense! The catsuit liquid lipsticks are not transfer proof, but they are long wearing, don't travel into lines around the mouth, and are flexible which is the main thing I like to see from liquid lipsticks. I hope this helps you decide what you'd like from this collection before you buy, or perhaps explains some issues you have, if any. Below are timestamps to key moments in the review if you'd like to skip ahead.

One final note- I used creative lighting in this tutorial, however all the swatches were shot with daylight.

If you're curious to see how these compare to the Urban Decay Special Effects Topcoats, Here's a video where I use them on my eyes, and show a rub test as well as blending shadows over them. https://youtu.be/Iv-E0Vv-UfQ?t=1m19s
