Wet 'n' Wild Golden Flower Crown MegaGlo Highlighting Powder Review, Photos, Swatches
Golden Flower Crown
Wet ‘n’ Wild Golden Flower Crown MegaGlo Highlighting Powder ($4.99 for 0.19 oz.) is medium gold with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. The finish was very reflective, and it was slightly emphasizing of my skin’s natural texture at higher coverage levels.
The formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” with a “silky smooth” texture that is “easy-to-blend.” The powder had a soft, lightly dusty texture in the pan that felt drier but was not difficult to use or to apply to the skin. It blended out beautifully on the skin, while the color adhered evenly and stayed on well for eight hours. It had semi-opaque as it had a tendency to sheer out a bit after initial application due to the dryness of the powder itself but was buildable to full coverage with two layers.

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.

Oh this is pretty! I might get this for my sister if this is what she’s been looking for.
Fingers crossed! 🙂
This shade looks beautiful on your skin!
Thank you, Dee! xo
Definitely more of a metallic highlighter. But it looks lovely!
It is an intense one!
That is definitely “seen from outer space” level of glow factor! Very pretty, but I have too large of pores to pull this one off effortlessly. ?
However, your entire look here is a showstopper, Christine! ?
You’re too kind, Nancy 😀
Oh! Very nice!
Agreed!
Awww these are killing me! But I already have enough highliters to shine the moon but so tempting! 😉
At least this one isn’t pricey!
I just love the imprinted flower on these highlighters.
It is lovely to look at!
This looks really pretty! I was hearing some good reviews about it, so I’m glad your posting swatches of them!
