Wet n' Wild Cosmetics Archive: 90s to 2008
This is intended to serve as a nearly complete reference page for past products Wet n' Wild has released. Some items may be lost to time... so comment on my blog profile to LMK if I missed something!
Eye Shadow Duos - Pavion Ltd.
Time to look into the very vintage products. B) Released sometime around 1991, according to the dates on these products, were the Wet 'n' Wild Eye Shadow Duos. Many color combinations were available, but no real record of them all exists.
Thankfully, I found an ebay listing with a whole bunch of shades. It doesn't look like these were named outside of their numbering, either.
Single Eye Shadows - Pavion Ltd.
Produced sometime around 1991 were the Wet 'n' Wild Single Eye Shadows. These seem to also only have shade numbers.
Silk Finish Creative Eye Shadow Kit - Pavion Ltd.
Shades, L to R: 635, 633
Silk Finish Blush & Glow Blush & Highlighter Duet - Pavion Ltd.
Silk Finish Translucent Pressed Powder - Pavion Ltd.
Pressed Powder in 821C - Pavion Ltd.

IntraColor Performing Lip Care - Pavion Ltd.
The Nail Zone Nail Color - Pavion Ltd.
I'm really not sure when these were released, but at some point I saw something that made me think these were made with Pavion still. If I find conflicting info, I'll change things as needed. Here's all the old polish I found!

Silk Finish Lipstick - Pavion Ltd.
Before today's Silk Finish Lipsticks, there were the originals made when Pavion Limited was still running the show. Vintage makeup like this is harder to find, but I spent a few hours researching (and pulling out my hair) and trying to figure out packaging iterations. First, here are the lipsticks I could find and their name/number and sources.

Silk Finish Lipstick Packaging Variations
Pavion Limited sold Wet n Wild at some point around when the curly font and black lipstick tube were used. Some lipsticks I found look like they're from the original silk finish line, but some have numbers in the 900s, which I'm assuming is a product line from the new owner based on the shade stickers.
High Gloss Liquid Lip Color - Pavion Ltd.
Plum Ice 564
Sheerly Beige 565B
Lip Tricks Mood Stick - Pavion Ltd.
While Pavion Limited was still running the show, they made the Lip Tricks Mood Stick, a color-changing lip balm that changes color according to your mood...okaaaay. Nowadays we all know it changes to the same color. ;)
No shade name...
Fantasy Makers Black Lip Color - Pavion Ltd.
MegaSlicks Version 1 - AM Cosmetics
These are significantly harder to track down than version 2 megaslicks! I was only able to find 3 normal shades, and 2 that appear to be special edition with abnormal numbering. I can't find a specific date, but given that Wet n Wild was purchased by AM Cosmetics in 1997 and then Markwins in 2003, these must have been produced between 1997 and 2003.
Shades, L to R: Burnish 572, Rose Gold 576A, Sheer Violet 574, Magic 9100-253, R U Sure? 9100-255

MegaSqueeze Shimmer Gel

Bronzzer Bronzing Powder
Released in 2001, only 2 shades of this bronzer were released. This product seems to have been around for a bit, but I'm unsure when it actually got discontinued.
Shades: Medium/Dark 702A, Light/Medium 701 (unpictured)
Ultimate Touch Pressed Powders
These seem to have gone through a couple packaging iterations also... Released around 2001, these powders came in shades mostly catering to fair-skinned people. Not much record on this exists from my usual sources.
Shades, L to R: Natural 821D, Warm Beige 824D, Buff 826, Golden 827, Classic Beige 828
MegaColors Lipstick
Released around 2001, the MegaColors lipsticks were pigmented, moisturizing lipsticks that came in an opaque, frosted silver component. Many shades exist in this line!

MegaFlavors and MegaFlavors Gourmet Lip Gloss
Released sometime in 2001 and later changed by Markwins (presumably) around 2003, the MegaFlavors lip glosses were flavored, potted lip glosses that came in a variety of flavors. NOTE: the glosses in the circular pots are MegaFlavors Lip Glosses, while those in the rectangular components are the gourmet glosses. According to some reviews, only about 5 or 6 flavors of the standard glosses existed (Very Cherry, Vanilla, Watermelon, Tropical Punch, Strawberry, Raspberry).
Shades: Cherry and Vanilla (circled, top left), Watermelon, (top middle), Tropical Punch (top right), Truffle (bottom left), Blue Raspberry (bottom middle), Whip'd Cream (bottom right)

Mega Brilliance Lip Gloss
Released in 2002 to AM Cosmetics, the Mega Brilliance lip gloss line featured sparkly, glittery shades that were absent from the MegaSlicks lip gloss line. Approximately 5 shades were released, with a couple stragglers. I can't find anything about the 2002 Halloween LE Mega Brilliance glosses, besides that one is deceptively red and named "Scarlet."
Shades, L to R: Blushing 591, Crushed Grapes 593, Iced Blue 594, Shimmy Shimmer 599
Not Pictured: ??? 595, Scarlet, Shakin' ???
Precious Metals Collection
Released around 2002, this line featured metallic lipsticks, lip glosses and nail polishes. In one review it mentioned this was the Holiday 2003 collection from Wet n Wild.

Silk Finish Blush
Released in 2003, the Silk Finish blushes were one of the first products released following Markwins purchase of AM Cosmetics/Wet n Wild. It looks like 6 permanent shades were released, in addition to some special editions.
Shades, L to R descending: Pearlescent Pink 831D, Berry Shimmer 835, Mellow Wine, Heather Silk 834C, Naive 836E, All Over Shimmer 832D
Shades: Coral Reef 832C, Birthday Pink 831C

Baked Earth 835C actually looks like a permanent line shade, but it took me a while to find that it exists LOL.
Silk Finish Single Eye Shadows
Released in 2003-ish by AM Cosmetics (and quickly revamped by Markwins), the Silk Finish single eye shadows were a limited line of single eye shadows, with approximately 10 shades. These shadows came in small black pot and were clear on top to display the eyeshadow. The colors/shades I could find were:
- Cream 251
- Naked 252
- Brassy 253
- Wicked 253B
- Plum Silva 254
- Tropical Sands 256
- Cherub 256A
- Blue Lagoon 257
- Lovely Lilac 258
- Sensual Sage 259
- Scrutinize 6473
Not Pictured: Chrome ???
Something of note here is how often the packaging for these eye shadows changes. First, AM Cosmetics decided what the product will look like. Next, Markwins takes over and only the label is updated. Then metallic font on the lids, and finally a full silver container to mark the Silk Finish Single Eye Shadow's transformation into the renamed Mega Eyes Single Eye Shadows. Some original shade names seem to have carried over, but the Mega Eyes single shadow line had waaaay more variety.

Mono Eyeshadows
While on Ebay I spotted these single shadows. According to their listings, it's the same shades as the mega eyes and silk finish singles. Interesting component and repackaging almost lost to time...!

Wild Shine Lipsticks
Released in 2003, the Wild Shine lipsticks had a sheer but pigmented gel formula, and came in a wide variety of shades. AM Cosmetics was running the show at their initial release, but swapped the original clear/pink metallic component for a clear/silver one, and later on to the fully frosted silver component.

Mega Eyes Eyeshadow Trios
Released circa 2003 (based on review dates), the Mega Eyes eyeshadow trios seem to have been a popular product despite some complaints about the formula. It looks like some permanent shades did exist, in addition to some more obscure limited editions.
Shades, L to R: Aqua Marine 12, Midnight Magic 10, Soft Smoky 7, Purplicious 14
So, the above appear to be European versions of this product. Note that their numbering uses small numbers; the American versions will not. (Another European shade: Mystery Smokey...)
