Dollar Tree Beauty Part 3- Wet n' Wild Matte Top Coat & Maybelline Master Smoky

May 5

It's another edition of Dollar Tree Beauty! I have to say out of all of the beauty purchases I've made, these two products I was the most excited about. Today I am reviewing the Wet n Wild Matte Top Coat and Maybelline Master Smoky by Eye Studio in Smoldering Violet.

Wet n Wild Wild Shine Matte Top Coat

I personally am not a fan of the Wild Shine nail polish line. I prefer the megalast line because I do like the bigger brush and the formula last longer. If this was my first matte top coat I would say it's fine but last year I actually got the N.Y.C Matte top coat which I think has a better formula and doesn't cost a whole lot more. If you haven't tried Matte polish, you should definitely give it a try, it essentially doubles your nail polish collection.

Master Smoky

I am not sure why this is at the Dollar Tree because I still see this product in stores for around $8. Nonetheless, I tried it and it's a really great find for $1. The concept of this product is you are supposed to be able to use it as a liner and then smudge it out to create a smoky look. The problem is that the formula isn't pigmented or creamy enough. You can see from the photo below it doesn't have the best pigment and once I start blending it out, the color isn't as intense.

It sets rather quickly and honestly kinda hard to blend. I found it was more do-able to blend with my fingers than the sponge tip. I really like this product as jumbo liner but I don't think you can get a nice smoky look unless you use a primer, keep re-applying and then smudging it out. Having said all that, I do think the formula lasts a long time. I was told on Instagram that this also comes in two other colors so if you are interested be on the look out for that at your local Dollar Tree.

I think for this round of Dollar Tree Beauty both are winners. Even though they are not the best products I've had for their intended purpose, they are both still very much usable and only $1. As always, thanks for reading!

Until next time,
