Review/Swatches Wet'n'Wild Silk Finish Lipstick

Ok, round 2 of the W'n'W lipsticks. 10 of mine are marked 'Gloss & Shine' rather than 'Silk Finish' so I'm guessing this was the old name? It's definitely not the finish anyway, as there is a mix in both lots. As I already mentioned the cases can get really scratched, especially if you carry one around in your bag. The clear lid is rimmed with silver, which comes off very easily, however these are still a great bargain buy at under £1 each in the sale.

Breeze; one of the more shimmery ones, quite sheer, pale beige nude.
Toffee Delight; a creamy matte, mid-tone brown, full coverage.
Lava; darker and more teracotta than TD, again full coverage, creamy matte shade, I actually haven't used this yet.
Blushing Taupe; this is a pinky brown, quite sheer-so applies a nicer shade than in the tube.
Vintage Mauve; my most used Silk Finish l/s, a sheer shimmery pinky mauve, buildable to intensify colour.
Sugar Plum Fairy; a pink plum, darkish but wearable, has a slight frost finish.

Pink Lemonade; a light frosty pink.
Bubblegum Pink; brighter than PL, again a frost finish, hard to pull off, unless you are going for an 80's Barbie look.
Retro Pink; a lavender pink (which hasn't come across in the swatch), slight frost finish, full coverage, definitely more wearable than above.
Wild Rose; a dark reddish pink with shimmer.
Hot Paris Pink; a lot like WR but without the shimmer, creamy matte and slightly more cherry red.
Candy Apple; very, very similar to WR, only difference is apparent in tube. Swatches almost identical, maybe slightly more depth to CA.
Raunchy Red; in your face, bright, bold red. Creamy, no shimmer and not for the faint hearted. wnw silk finish lipstickwnw silk finish lipstickwnw silk finish lipstickwnw silk finish lipstick swatchesAgain I have left the images untagged, so please do not take them without prior permission from me.

*oh and I'm sorry for the fingerprints all over the lipstick tubes, my hands were covered in makeup and I didn't have time to wipe all the lipsticks before photographing them*
