Comparison Review: MAC Blacktrack Fluidline and Wet 'n' Wild Mega Eyes Creme Eyelienr

Wet 'n' Wild Mega Eyes Creme Eyeliner and MAC Blacktrack Fluidline 

Another comparison review time! I am going to review the popular MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack and mad affordable Wet 'n' Wild Mega Eyes Creme Eyelienr. The result of the wear test (aka having MAC on one eye and Wet 'n' Wild on the other and swapping the next day) was quite surprising. It was opposite of the impression of each product as I wore them by themselves. Anyhow, more of that to come later.

Fluidline comes in a glass pot with plastic cap, and Mega Eyes Creme Eyeliner comes in a oddly shaped plastic pot with a thin plastic lid. Right off, Wet 'n' Wild packaging feels cheap. Also the lid is a little too thin to open it conveniently. It takes effort to close the lid tightly, and that might cause the product to dry out faster. MAC packaging, I have no complaints about. Easy to open and closes securely. Maybe if you are not fond of glass packaging, that might be an issue.

As far as the pigmentation and texture goes, Wet 'n' Wild wins! Wet 'n' Wild has a harder texture so that brush doesn't easily push into the product like it would with MAC. You can easily control the amount of the product that you are going to pick up this way. Also Wet 'n' wild is much more pigmented. It's completely black and there's no need to go over it after once. Blacktrack is not bad but I do feel that I need to go over it a few times to get it really black. That unfortunately sometimes leaves bald spot where the product rubs off.

Here's what surprised me. The wear time and smudginess. I was always under the impression that Wet  'n' Wild smdged on me less. But when I did the wear test on each eye, Wet 'n' Wild smudged much faster after four hours. Fluidline held up couple hours longer. At the end of the day, they both smudged on me, but Mega Eyes Creme Eyeliner smudged more (over wider area). So I was wrong. Lol. Fluidline smudges less and wears longer. 

They are both good eyeliners but they have different strengths. Wet 'n' wild wins in the pigmentation and the texture while MAC wins in wear time and packaging. Personally for me, wear time is the most important, so MAC is better for me. Depending on what your preferences are, either one could be better. :)
