Wet 'n' Wild Bloom Time MegaGlo Highlighting Powder Review & Swatches
Bloom Time
Wet ‘n’ Wild Bloom Time MegaGlo Highlighting Powder ($4.99 for 0.19 oz.) is a soft, pink-peach with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which was easily built up to full coverage with a dab more on top. The consistency was smooth, dense without being thick or stiff in the pan, and blendable on my skin. It had a very metallic finish that was just shy of pore-emphasizing territory on me (which should be read as: if you generally find products emphasize your pores/texture more often than not, this might!). It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before fading slightly.

Formula Overview
$4.99/0.19 oz. - $26.26 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” with a “silky smooth” texture that is “easy-to-blend.” The shades ranged from semi-opaque to opaque typically with smooth, denser textures that weren't stiff or difficult to work with. A couple of shades seemed a touch drier in the pan but did not appear dry on my skin usually. They blended out nicely and lasted around eight hours on average.

Nice! This looks like it would be an all-in-one blush and highlighter on me!
Such a cheery glow that this one imparts! Looks like a highlighting blush on your skin tone, not a straight up highlighter. I’m really liking that effect!
This is lovely!
I’m sometimes still astounded that WnW can put out something this good for just $5 and then high end brands want 8 or 9 times that just because it’s in a nicer compact with some initials embossed on it… I don’ t necessarily mind paying for top quality or luxury items but when TF or Tillbury gets a B or C for something similar for $40+ and then WnW scores this highly for just “chump change”, I do wonder why (and then I immediately go and splash my cash on WnW and spend more on stuff I don’t need because it’s affordable, ha ha ha!)
What a gorgeous shade of pink/peach this one is – and perfect for the price too.
I have a lighter shade of this, Blossom Glow, and I love it. I use it lightly with a wispy fan brush and it delivers a lovely highlight without being overpowering. This looks like a beautiful shade that can be used as a blush without additional highlighter and the price is definitely right.
