Wet 'n' Wild Winter Bloom MegaGlo Highlighting Gold Bar Review & Swatches
Winter Bloom
Wet ‘n’ Wild Winter Bloom MegaGlo Highlighting Gold Bar ($4.99 for 0.22 oz.) is a bright, white gold with subtle, warm undertones paired with a luminous sheen. The pigmentation was semi-opaque and easily built up to full coverage, or one could use a slightly lighter hand to achieve sheerer, even more buildable coverage if desired. The highlighter had a smooth, denser consistency that wasn’t too firmly pressed in the pan, so it was still easy to pick up product using more feathery brushes. It applied well to my cheek bones, blended out nicely, and didn’t emphasize my skin’s natural texture. It stayed on well for eight hours on me before I noticed fading.

Maybe it’s my monitor, but this looks like it has green tones.
Wet & Wild is really killing it with their highlighters and the price is right. Drugstore is really showing up to compete.
Funny, but I knew as soon as I saw this one on your cheeks that it would be a very good dupe of TF Gilt Glow from the other day; and sure enough, it is! I may just buy this one instead!
I’m not usually a sucker for the aesthetics, but these WnW Gold Bars are pretty adorable.
