ALL SHADES OF Wet n Wild WNW megaglo Highlight Powder

Purchase

The price point of these highlighters are reasonable at only $4.99 a piece. The two shades: Precious Petals and Crown of my Canopy, I purchased at my local Walmart. It is a few cents cheaper on the Walmart site. The four new shades: Royal Calyx, Botanic Dream, Golden Flower Crown, and Blossom Glow, I purchased when they all launched on the wetnwild website. The order took longer than I expected. I placed the order on July 10, 2017 and it came in on July 19, 2017.

Packaging

Sealed

Broken seal

There is a black seal that proves no one opened your product that you purchased. I really hate the seal because it is a pain to rip off. Adding on, since the product is affordable, the packaging is hit or miss for every individual highlighter. My precious petal highlighter clicks securely when it is closed but my royal calyx highlighter does not. I have not traveled with the royal calyx highlighter yet so I do not know if it is secure. Other than that,  the packaging is aesthetically pleasing to the eye for its price. It is sleek with a black bottom and clear lid. Everything is labeled like how wet n wild products are usually labeled.

Product

Precious Petals

This is my every day highlighter. It is a warmer pink highlighter with gold shimmer. The formula is very soft and glides on well. The only con about this product is that in certain lights, it looks like a salmon colored streak on my face. I just need to blend this out better. I recommend the RT under eye setting brush for this highlighter and then taking a stippling brush to blend it out.

Crown of my Canopy

The formula is similar to Precious Petals. The formula is slightly softer, however, the color is too dark on me. I have light-medium skin tone and way to dark on me. The color is really pretty; it is a copper color with copper shimmers. I think it would look pretty to mix a little of this product with bronzers for an all-over glow.

Royal Calyx

This highlighter was not my favorite. It felt slightly grittier when I finger swatched the highlighter. Also, in the finger swatch, the silver shimmer particles were larger than Precious Petals and Crown of my Canopy's shimmers. I might just use this as eyeshadow.

Botanic Dream

This formula was a hit for me. It is a true pink highlighter with silver shimmer. I would say it is a cheap alternative to Jeffree Star's Regina George skin frost. Definitely not a dupe, but similar. This swatched beautifully with great pigment.

Golden Flower Crown

I also really liked this formula and color. Formula was soft and smooth. It was a true gold GOLD highlighter. No complaints at all about this highlighter.

Blossom Glow

I had a problem with this highlighter similar to the Royal Calyx highlighter. The formula felt rougher when finger swatching and slightly more chalkier. I am not crazy about this highlighter's effect. It does not give the same glowy look as Precious Petals or the other ones I like. The color of Blossom Glow is a cool toned baby pink with silver shimmer.

Overall

I would recommend these products, but only 4 of the 6. Also if you are not into crazy colors, not all of these are for you. And lastly, I feel these products are geared toward medium to deeper skin tones because some colors are too dark on me and I have light-medium skin tone.

Mini Colourpop Liquid Lipsticks Haul

This is my first purchase from Colourpop and I only bought liquid lipsticks and a gift for a friend. Colourpop liquid lipsticks are only $6 a piece. With other promos included, colourpop is a really affordable cosmetic brand for those on a budget. I liked the packaging it came in. There was a pamphlet that taught you different makeup looks along with a little postcard that seemed to be personally written by a little girl. I thought that was really cute. A plus with this brand is that Colourpop is cruelty free, which I appreciate, but they are not entirely vegan. Some of their products are vegan, just make sure to check the ingredients in each product.

Mini Haul

Guess (Ultra Matte)

Swatch on my lips

Swatch on my arm

The color is a beautiful deep purple that can pass as black sometimes. It makes my teeth look super white. I love the color but the formula for this color is a pass. I needed 2 layers of this to make it look decent on my lips. It was too patchy with just one layer. This liquid lipstick dries down to a true matte and can be very drying even if your lips are well moisturized. Because this formula is super matte, it is kiss proof except in my inner lip where there is slight moisture. If you already have this color I would suggest a hydrating lip liner underneath. Another con for me was that it flakes after several hours of wear. I would overall pass on this color.

Petit Four (Ultra Satin)

Swatch on my lip

Swatch on my arm

The color is a medium gray with a mix of blue. It looks more like a blue lipstick with a hint of gray in person. This lipstick clashes with my yellow undertone and it looks worse on me as I tan. This formula is not kiss proof and is slightly tacky even after letting it set. It is a comfortable on the lips, but if I press my lips together and pull them apart there is some stickiness. I think this lippie is good for someone who wants to try new and bolder colors. Overall this lipstick is comfortable, but I would recommend it to to paler girls or deep skin girls with pink to neutral undertones.

Tulle (Ultra Matte)

Swatch on my lip

Swatch on my arm

This color looks way darker than it seems online and in the tube. It is a deep burgundy with an equal mix of wine and red. This is not a 'my lips but better' color on me. Tulle reminds me of the "Kylie Jenner lip color" from a couple of years ago. It is a comfortable matte, but it does have slight transfer in the inner rim of the lip even after letting it set. When removing it with coconut oil, I get a slight stain on my lips but that is not a turn off for me. I would recommend this lippie to everyone.

Marshmallow (Ultra Satin)

Swatch on my lip 

Swatch on my arm

This color is a lavender with a mix of gray. This color looks more like a muted, pastel purple on my lips. I really like this color because it is unique. I think this color is more flattering on tan to deeper skin tone girls because of the contrast it would give. I'm personally trying to get use to the color on me. The formula itself is similar to Petit Four which is comfortably, a little tacky, and not kiss proof. I think if you want to try a color not in your collection, I would recommend this color.
