Wet 'n' Wild Earth MegaGlo Highlighting Bar Review & Swatches
Earth
Wet ‘n’ Wild Earth MegaGlo Highlighting Bar ($6.99 for 0.30 oz.) is a pale gold with warm, yellow undertones and a luminous sheen. It had rich color coverage with a soft, lightly dusty texture that felt more loosely pressed but didn’t look dusty or dry on my skin. The highlighter applied evenly and almost appeared blended without having to do anything as the powder seemed to melt on my skin. It produced a noticeable glow that sat well on my skin and did not emphasize my skin’s natural texture. It wore well for eight hours on me before I noticed signs of fading.

Formula Overview
$6.99/0.3 oz. - $23.30 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to yield a "lit-from-within glow" that "delivers a strobing effect" with a "super-smooth" texture. All of the shades felt a little dusty, a bit dry, in the pan and by the touch, but they applied beautifully and sat well on my skin--they almost "melted" onto the skin for a very smooth, luminous sheen. The pigmentation ranged from medium to opaque, but the ones that weren't full coverage were buildable. They lasted between seven and eight hours on me.

Very nice! I am looking forward to the review of Air, which looks like a better shade for my skin tone. Not that I need another highlighter. 😀
For me, this is more like it – something I can actually wear that is flattering (and seems to replace quite a few pricier products).
Oh, I love this one. It looks like it might be light enough for me to wear. It will probably be months before I see it and don’t want to order anything on line while I am gone so will have to look for this when I return.
Enjoy your trip, Deborah!
That’s pretty impressive for $6.99!
Agreed!
This is a *really* nice one, and the price can’t be easily beat! I may try to get this one, as I’ve been enjoying the interesting marbled patterns on these, I feel like I need at least one!
I love the finish on the skin!
Oh man. The Fire shade looked beautiful, but decided wouldn’t bother getting it since it didn’t seem like a shade that would work for me. But this looks like a shade I could pull off, and has a gorgeous finish as well!
Wet N Wild is really killing it in the shimmery cheek product game lately…I have the Don’t Flutter Yourself blush from their Flights of Fancy collection and love it.
I think you will like this if you like Don’t Flutter Yourself, Lia!
Really pretty shade and it looks great.
It is!
Great color for me, but I already have highlighters in this range, so … no.
I’m shocked. SHOCKED, I tell you! 😉
HA! 🙂
I’m an air sign, (aquarius) so I’m interested in that one, but this one is right up my alley and might be picked up !!! 😀
