BREAKING BEAUTY NEWS: Wet n Wild 2015 Information (New Lines, New Shades and Discontinuations)

I received some very exciting information directly from Wet n Wild today and I can't wait to share it with you! All that I request is that you take a moment to read through this entire post before asking questions in the comments. My contact at Wet n Wild is prepared to field any questions you may have about this news, but I will of course only pass along questions that haven't already been answered here. Thank you so much for your help and cooperation!

In what is the biggest new product roll-out in Wet n Wild's history, for 2015 Wet n Wild is introducing brand new PERMANENT product lines for both Wet n Wild and Fergie Centerstage. This includes many new products that I am NOT covering in this post today (you'll see everything in upcoming blog posts, I promise). Wet n Wild is also improving some existing products, adding new shades and discontinuing some existing shades. Keep reading for more info...

Below you will find three existing Wet n Wild product lines that are receiving a makeover for 2015. Some of these new products have already been spotted at Dollar General (reader @bellexbeauty27 spotted the lipsticks and polishes at her Dollar General this week) but they are NOT exclusive to Dollar General. It may take some time for them to trickle into all of the usual retailers, but they should be everywhere by February 2015.

    1. I can remember hiding Wet'n'Wild under all my other makeup in my makeup bag so that my friends in high school wouldn't know I was wearing something that cheap! Lol

      Delete
    2. They've come a long way, for sure! I've said it a million times, I know, but I wore WnW lipstick to my high school prom...in 1989! The $0.99 lipsticks back then were in all white cases!

      It's just amazing to me that all these years later, they still have a fantastic $0.99 lipstick line and the price hasn't increased. And I'm still hooked on them! Lol.

      Delete
    3. I graduated in 1987, and wore a super bright purple from wet n wild-my friends all wore the same color!!

      Delete
    4. I think I remember that exact shade! I wore the bright cherry red creme lipstick to my prom, paired with super shimmery bronze eyeshadow. I wore a very fitted white sleeveless gown with spaghetti straps and this seemed like the perfect makeup for that dress. Lol!

  2. Do the discontinuations include the Megalast lipsticks? If so, I need to go buy every tube of Purty Perssimon in the area.

    1. I would be shocked if they were discontinuing those, but I'll certainly ask and let you know!

      Delete
    2. I would faint! Megalast lipsticks are my fav WNW line! I practically have the whole thing minus a few shades I don't really want. I'm not a huge fan of the shape of them as I have small lips. But the colors and quality are great.

      Delete
    3. I hope they don't discontinue they megalast. IMO they won't Evvveryone Loooves that line! And Purty Purssimon is FabulOus isn't it?!!!

      Delete
    4. I just recently got Purty Persimmon and I never opened it! I have to try! It's more of a summer color, no? Orangey?

    2. Sorry! Any word on of they will be discontinued or if news are to come?

    3. Any infor on the 8 pan palettes? colors, release dates, etc? Also, I think it would be a HUGE hit if the would combine both of the Melrose palettes into an 8 pan palette

      Delete
  5. The new packaging for the silk finish lipsticks looks so sleek! Those lippies don't get much hype, black orchid is still one my faves to this day!

    1. I know! I've never tried Black Orchid- not that brave- but Sunset Peach I swear by and Hot Paris Pink is gorgeous!

      Delete
    2. I think the new packaging will make them more popular. It's hawt. I have a couple but always ran to Megalast because I prefer matte. I've been wearing WNW since the 90's and they've come a looooong way.

    1. I'll ask and let you know if I hear anything about that!

    2. So true. My gripe is the shape of the actual lipstick. Though it looks cool, I have thin lips and they're not the most practical to apply for me. And lipstick always ends up on the sides of the cover. Don't ask!

      Delete
    3. I agree! Megalasts most DEF need a pkging revamping for sure!!

  8. They're not going to touch the liquid eyeliner, right? That stuff is my HG. :)

    1. Lol I definitely don't have they ability to do that, but I can certainly pass on your request. :) That was an awesome palette for sure! I miss all of the 6-pans, actually.

  11. Ok, so first I'm really loving the addition of a "nude" pencil. That works for me, and you just cannot beat 99cents. Thing is "nude" for me is not going to be the same for someone with a deeper skintone/colour (much like the whole Band-Aid thing) so i'd love to see a company come out with a range of neutral liners made just for the waterline for that bright eyed look in a variety of "nudes" that complement all shades of skin. I should've looked it up before stating all that as perhaps some company has already done so, but I'm not aware of any of the top of my head. Another thing while we're on the topic of skin colours...I have got to laugh and roll my eyes a bit at two shade names -Baby Got Black + You're Always White! I'm am not a super duper overly pc kinda gal, I can appreciate a good un-pc joke anyday (towards anyone, my own race included) but I'm sure those names will get some in a tizzy! I guess "You're Always White! Is supposed to be a play on you're always right, but it kinda annoys me and reminds me of the olden days saying, "that's mighty white of ya". Implying black is bad, white is right...*shudders* not a big deal, no complaints, just think it's a weird name, "White Hot" could've worked...btw- anybody else think of Andrew McCarthy and Molly Ringwald when they hear the term white hot?!? It was a scene from PIP at the record store. :)

    1. I honestly didn't notice anything un-pc about those two shade names before reading your comment. Because if you look at every name in that range, they're all puns on a color (Pros and Bronze, Calling Your Buff, etc). I think that if just the black or white shades were used as puns it would seem odd, but I think it's just a punny theme in general? I understand what you're saying though...I just didn't read it that way.

      About the varying shades of nude, I'm wondering if that new taupe shade might be a nice waterline color for deeper skintones? I can't wait to see them all in person.

      And yes, you know i remember that exact line in PiP. ;)

    2. @BubblegumBengal
      I see exactly where you're coming from and I must agree.

    3. Nyx has a line of varying nude shades for the waterline.

  12. Hoping that in the new packaging for megalast lipsticks the bullet completely goes down, to avoid smearing jn the sides of the cap..

    1. Just to clarify, I never said the Megalasts were getting new packaging. A reader above asked if they were, and I said I would try to find out. :)

      Delete
    2. Ya i read those, but with such beautiful packaging for 99 cents lipsticks, it would not be good to see the megalast with old packaging:)

  13. Am I the only one that thinks the new polish tops look like shark fins?

  14. two of the walmarts in vancouver bc, canada have removed their wet n wild displays (in exchange for flower beauty). just wondering if you knew anything about wnw being taken out of canadian walmarts?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. In my local Ontario Walmart they have removed both NYC and WnW and replaced with Flower Beauty. Have lost both my go-to bargain brands. Not happy!

      Delete
    2. My Walmart in Nova Scotia has done the same thing. I asked the cosmetics lady and she said WnW is no longer going to be sold at Walmart? (I assume this doesn't apply to the states?)

      Delete
    3. Not sure, re Walmart because my closest store like that is Target and Kmart and they both still sell WnW. All drugstores too (drugstore.com included). Flower Beauty is Drew Barrymore's line, I've never seen it in person. But the price point definitely isn't the same, though not expensive it seems. Do you have Targets nearby? I live in NYC but originally from Montreal :) I know Targets are there now...

  15. Can you please see if they can add the limited edition meagalast lipsticks that just came out from the fall and Halloween displays to the permanent line. The colors were great but they were so hard to find. Or at least next time put more than two lipsticks per display. Thanks G love your blog you keep us well informed.

  16. Those new polish bottles look great! The tops look like they will be very ergonomic. I'm sure I'll be rebuying the colors I have just to get the new bottles lol.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I love what I'm seeing. Especially the Silk Finish lippies. I can't believe they've kept the price the same for all these years. Overall they've kept the line to a great value and they keep expanding offerings and the quality. I bought WnW in high school, stepped away for some years, but steadily have returned to buy more and more -- I even like the Vicious Varnish lip glosses, and I normally hate glosses! I can't wait to see what else is coming down the line!

  18. If only we had Wet 'n Wild here :-(

  19. Is the grey eyeliner one of the colors not shown above or should I go stock up while I can?

  20. So excited. Been a WnW fan since '97. Glad to see the oldies but goodies are getting revamped. Keep it up WnW!

  25. I REALLY hope Taupe of the Mornin' is the same as the current Taupe pencil. It is my HG brow pencil. I love it 100x more than the coveted Anastasia Dipbrow.

  26. Yippy! New and revised nail polish... still 99 cents. I'm in! Loved the old, I'm sure I'll adore the new.

    And I haven't bought an actual lipstick in so many years. It's about time I did. Can't wait to see what else is coming out.

  27. Very excited, specially for "new shades" I hope they have listened to out plead for traditional fórmula, prior to the Fergie line! Happy dance. You rock G! Thanks

  31. More new shades Of megalast lippies plzzz those are amazing

  32. I am sooooo late to the makeup party...after 15 some years of not wearing makeup BUT upon my glorious return I have discovered WNW eye shadows. Oh my truly creamy and beautiful. I haven't bought ANY expensive shadows because WNW is so frugal and feels just as good. All that said please ask them/beg them to make Nude Awakening a permanent addition. I missed that one and can't find it anywhere. I have both melrose palettes and feel as if I have the entire Naked 3 palette. Please find out their plans if any for Nude Awakening.

    ReplyDelete
  33. As long as they keep Silk Finish in Dark Pink Frost and Cherry Frost, I am golden. Now if only they'd change the layout of the 5pan and 3 pan eyeshadows to having identical sized pans with the same amount of product, I would be so happy.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I had made a stop in to Dollar General the other week for razors and I swear, you probably heard me skid to a stop when I happened to walk right past a brand spanking new display of all of these products!! It was just randomly placed at the end of an aisle, not right by the regular makeup display. I could tell that noooooo one had even bought anything from it yet. I wanted to buy one of everything, but I resisted. I did pick up a bottle of the nail polish in the "Yo Soy" color and I love it! I painted my nails in that color almost a week ago with just a base coat, one coat of the color and a top coat using the Nail-Aid Almost Gel topcoat and I'm still chip free! Before that I had used a covergirl polish and did the same thing-base, color, topcoat-and had huge chips after two days.

  35. Display is up in my neighborhood CVS. I bought Dark Pink Frost - it is amazing! So excited to try out other products.
