Wet 'n' Wild Let It Glow MegaGlo Highlighting Gold Bar Review & Swatches
Let It Glow
Wet ‘n’ Wild Let It Glow MegaGlo Highlighting Gold Bar ($4.99 for 0.22 oz.) is a rich, medium-dark copper with strong, warm orange undertones and a golden sheen. It had opaque pigmentation that applied easily in a single layer, though it was a denser, firmer texture that didn’t have any excess powderiness, so it was easy to apply less for sheerer coverage if preferred. The powder applied evenly to my skin and blended out nicely along the edges. There was a moderate sheen that did not emphasize my skin’s natural texture. It stayed on well for eight hours before I noticed slight fading on my skin.

I love that this looks more like a slightly rosy tone of orange once applied to your cheeks, more like a sun-kissed blush instead of only a highlighter. Might need to get this one myself for next summer!
This looks really pretty!
I’m curious though, it says “Mirror Enclosed” on the front label, right underneath the name of the product (also in French, just to be thorough I guess?) but I don’t actually see a mirror anywhere…
This is a really nice one!
