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

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.
