In this post, I'll be reviewing and swatching Wet'n'Wild's Mega Liner Liquid Eyeliner. I believe this product is available in most drugstores and grocery stores. I bought mine from either Walmart or Walgreens, but I'm not sure. My liner is in the color "861 Black." This product also comes in "860 Black Sparkle," "862A Indigo Blue," "863 Turquoise," "864 Plum," and "868 Dark Brown."
The Product:
This is a liquid eyeliner. The product is 0.12 fl. oz./3.5 mL and about 3.75" tall. While the packaging is interesting, it's a little bulky. The long silver cap is completely unnecessary and makes this product difficult to store. I don't think traveling with it will be a problem, but finding a place to put it at home is harder because of its shape.
In the cap, there is a small liquid eyeliner brush.
The Wet'n'Wild website description for this product says it is easy to control and dries quickly. It should stay in place for a long period of time. The website also says you can use this product to lightly line your eyes or create a more dramatic effect.

How it Really Works:
I like this liner, but I'm not in love with it. It goes on very dark, so use it only if you want a very dark line because it is difficult to smudge out. I don't know if the "subtle look" the website talks about is easily achievable, but the darker, more dramatic look certainly is.
The product doesn't dry that quickly. It doesn't take forever, but it comes out very runny and you have to keep your eyes closed for a little while to avoid smudging it in your eyeshadow. Once it dries, I've found it does last a considerable amount of time. It will stay on for most of the day, maybe requiring a minor touch up.
The main thing I dislike about this product is how runny it is. The formula feels very thin and watery, however there is still a dark pigmentation. I recommend going over it will a smudge brush or an eyeshadow in the same color to set the liner.
The Bottom Line--Price:
This product runs for about $3 at drugstores, and you may be able to find it on sale for even less. When comparing the quality of the product to the cost, I think you get a lot for your money. Despite a couple of issues like a runny formula and slow dry time, the product stays in place and has a nice deep pigment. Also, a little goes a long way so the bottle will last you for quite some time.
Overall, I would recommend this product to someone on a tight budget. If you can only spend $3 on a liquid eyeliner, this is the one to get. However, if you are able to spend a little more, maybe try a different option.
