Maybe You Won’t Go to Carnaval, But How About a Glow of Rose?

Wet ‘n’ Wild Rose Champagne Glow To Reflect Shimmer Palette ($4.99 for 0.40 oz.) is a melange of light peach, peachy-orange, and medium pink. Blended together, they create a light, rosy-beige with a frosted, metallic finish. MAC Porcelain Pink is lighter. MAC Rhapsody in Two is similar. Bobbi Brown Rose Gold is a touch more beige. MAC Redhead is less pink. Laura Mercier Rose Rendezvous is a smidgen darker.

I suspect of the three shades of To Reflect that I’ve seen from Wet ‘n’ Wild (I’ll post a review for the third one soon), this is likely the one that will have the most universal appeal.  On darker complexions, it will serve as a highlighter, and on the very lightest skin tones, it can work as a blush as well as a highlighter.  I’m medium in color, and it shows up as a highlighter and slight tint of color–there’s definite color, not just shimmer/sheen–on my skin.  The finish has a high-shine, frosted look to it, which did result in emphasis of my pores along my cheeks, so if that’s a major concern for you, then you might want to opt for a subtler highlighter.  This can be used wet for an even more metallic finish, if desired.

It’s a baked product, though it feels almost like a hybrid between traditional powder and baked, because it is smoother than a lot of baked products but still different from regular powder products.  Rose Champagne Glow lasted for six and a half hours on me, and after seven hours, it looked a bit faded and somewhat patchy. It’s on par with the majority of baked products and how long they wear on me, so if you normally get longer wear out of your baked products, this might wear similarly.

Gorgeous, I love it! Christine, I have been visiting your website more lately since you have been reviewing more budget beauty brands. I love ogling over luxury brands, but I also enjoy seeing products I can actually afford to purchase. Thanks!

This is so pretty, and I’m starting to regret not picking it up. It’s just so shimmery, and I didn’t think it would be suitable (at least for me) as an everyday product. I still kind of want it now, LOL.

Like everyone’s saying, it is pretty! Every time I see a positive review for this brand I’m like “Go Wet ‘n’ Wild!” I’m glad you are reviewing these.

Lovely! Unfortunately, I pull long shifts, so I need my products to wear a full 8-10 hours without obvious fading. Besides, it’s not like I need yet another highlighter. 😛

I like it but I already have Mac Redhead which is less pink (which is good for my olive complexion). I won’t be picking this up. It is a lovely product at a fantastic price though.

Just out of curiosity, why do baked products tend to fade and not show up well? Does the heat damage the pigment? I’ve tried a few baked eye shadows (from three different brands) and been disappointed that they will not show up at all, unless you gouge shadow out.

Beautiful ,and it looks good on skin as well. I have a similar product like this from a company called ludanmei . I think its a chinese brand, cost me 200 pakistani rupees(almost 2$)and its good .

So I bought this and like it, but mine looks like the two oranger ones with less brown, not all pink and pretty. Weird. I’m very fair and cool, this looks like a winner in a couple months from now. Might be perfect bronze for me.
