Dupe or Not? Wet N Wild Mocha-Licious & Kat Von D Lolita


A few months ago, I started a a series on here where I take so-called dupes I found online and compared them to the real thing. I've had some that were exact dupes, and some that weren't even close.  Today, I've got a super-cheap lipstick (Wet N Wild Mocha-licious) vs. a liquid lipstick (Kat Von D Lolita). Lolita is popular chestnut rose shade, (brown lips are having a 90s moment) but it's pricey! So, is it a dupe or not?

Kat Von D in Lolita (pictured is a mini size from a gift set)
  • Matte liquid lipstick
  • Sephora
  • $20
Wet N Wild in Mocha-Licious
  • Semi-matte lipstick
  • drugstores, online
  • $1.99
Quite a price difference, right? Looking at them in their containers, they look similar. But let's swatch them:



They look nothing alike, right? Let's swatch them on lips:

The finish is different (a matte liquid lipstick vs. semi-matte) but the color is exactly the same on me. I hope it comes through as such in the pics. I've tested this in daylight, florescent light, flash photography, cell phone camera, DSLR camera, and had the exact same results. I even asked a 6 year old if they were the same, and she thought I was crazy for asking such a request. ;) I say if you are looking for this shade, go for the Wet N Wild in Mocha-licious!

Leave me your dupe comparison requests!


Extra Elle:
  • Over the break I saw the movie The Danish Girl (heartbreaking, predictable ending, but great performances) and like nearly EVERYONE, I binged Making a Murderer. Have you seen it?

  1. Great dupe Elle! I am looking forward to trying some liquid matte lipsticks because they seem to be everywhere and the KAt Von D one looks great on you.

  5. i totally didn't think they would match up - i'm kinda obsessed with the brown lips right now. so 90s (which hello, is my fav). I still need to watch making a murderer!

  7. Crazy that the color is the same - I mean obviously I'd go with the cheaper option on this one!! Great review! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston

  8. Ooh, I've been wanting Lolita, but am hesitant to spend that much for a lippy - definitely going to look for the WnW the next time I'm at a drugstore!

  9. I'm definitely going to try the Wet n' Wild version! I was tempted to buy the other the last time I was in Sephora as I really liked the color so this is great news.

  10. I actually own this wet n' wild lipstick and love the color on! It's such a great nude color and close enough to the lolita shade that I agree it's an awesome dupe! That shade looks very pretty on you too!

    ReplyDelete
  11. For that price, it's definitely close enough! Such a pretty color!

  13. Oh wow! This is a good dupe. My younger sis was just looking at the Lolita at Sephora but the one we went to didn't have it in stock. Next time I see her, I'll let her know about the Wet n Wild one. Thanks for this, Elle:)

  17. Great color and great dupe! Thanks for sharing! Might have to try it out!

  18. I actually think I would prefer the WNW lippie since I'm not the biggest fan of matte lip products! Thanks for sharing!
    xo, Lily

  19. I love a good one where WNW wins... save that money!

    ReplyDelete
  20. This is such a great post! It's so crazy, in the first lip picture I thought there was a difference but looking at the other two there is none at all! Wild!

  21. Love your dupe posts and this is such a great natural shade!

  22. I am loving this series! I'm not a huge fan of those colors (I might be the only to say that), but I love finding high end items for cheaper prices. The Wet n Wild lipsticks are really good!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I seriously use Wet and Wild lipsticks to try out new colors ALL THE TIME. And then if I like them, I'll commit to the better version of it. I think they both look great!

    ReplyDelete
  24. This is a great dupe! I think this is one of the closest I have seen. Love your dupes, Elle!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Yessss, the $2 for the win!! Because this is a color that I'm not sure would work on me, I'm so glad the cheaper option is a good one. I think I may try it!

    ReplyDelete
  26. The 6 year old convinced me, gotta love lil ones :)! Great research, thanks for sharing.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I think I prefer Lolita, the shade is just a little bit more "gentle" on the eye for me. :) Haven't seen the film yet, but would absolutely love to. x

  28. Nice!

    And yes, I am watching Making A Murderer and shouting at the TV. My husband does it too.

  29. LOVE that color and that it was a successful dupe!!

    ReplyDelete
  30. WNW lipsticks are fantastic for their price point!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. super pretty colour though http://maybemayhemmakeup.blogspot.com.au/

    ReplyDelete
  32. Haha! the 6 year old test is always the truest answer. They sure do look alike to me! I love this series!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Amazing that swatched they look so different but on they look identical. I haven't seen Making a Murderer yet, need to get on it.

    ReplyDelete
  34. What an amazing dupe! On your arm I was a little iffy but they look almost exact on your lips! I need to pick up this color for sure!

  40. That's crazy and such a price difference in the two! I might have to pick up the WnW one since I've been eyeing Lolita for a while! So funny how they swatch different but look the same on the lips. I have a few lip sticks that do that to me!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Oh wow! Gotta love a Wet n' Wild dupe! I've never tried an ABH Liquid Lipstick. I've always wanted to try, but have been on the fence about the price.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I have never cared much about Wet N' Wild products but this sounds like a great dupe. I say it is a must try especially since it is about ten times less that the Sephora one.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I haven't tried many Wet n Wild products but I may have to look for this. Thanks for the info Elle!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Nice dupe comparisons! I really like the shades!
