WET N WILD MEGAGLO HIGHLIGHTING POWDER REVIEW
The new Wet n Wild Megaglo Highlighting Powders ($3.99) are velvety-smooth limited-edition highlighters that are infused with shimmering pearl pigments to give your skin a naturally luminous glow. I picked these up over the weekend at Walgreens and was so excited to find them, since Wet n Wild said they'd be out in May!
Highlighters are still a rare find at the drugstore, and finding ones that are high-quality are even harder. Personally, I like highlighters that are smooth and finely milled with no obvious chunks of glitter. I don't mind if they're intense and impactful as long as the finish is more of a pearly sheen vs. disco ball. The L'oreal True Match Lumi Powder Glow Illuminators I reviewed last summer were too frosty and glittery for me and we really haven't seen single highlighters from brands like Maybelline, Revlon and Rimmel (except inside contour palettes), which forces me to order more affordable versions online from places like Colourpop and City Color.
Thankfully, Wet n Wild has always gotten it right (I loved the Fergie To Reflect highlighters!) so I had no doubt that I was going to love these! Let's take a look...

The new Megaglo Highlighters come in two shades with a beautiful leaf pattern embossed into the powder. The lighter of the two shades is called Precious Petals. This is a pink-toned champagne shade with a pearly finish that reminds me a lot of Becca's Opal and Laura Geller's Baked Gelato in Ballerina (see below for comparison swatches).

The darker of the two shades is called Crown of my Canopy and is a peachy bronze shade. This one didn't remind me of any shades that I currently have in my collection so I'm not able to compare it to anything at the moment. It's quite a bit darker than Becca's Champagne Pop, despite having those warm peachy undertones and is way too dark as a highlighter for my fair skin. Still this would be amazing on deeper skin tones!

Here are my swatches in natural lighting. These powders are super pigmented, soft, and easy to pick up with not a lot of fallout. They go on so smooth with no chunky glitter particles, reminding me of much higher-end formulas.
Here's Precious Petals next to Laura Geller's Ballerina and Becca's Opal Pressed. It's pinker than opal, but has almost the same tone as Ballerina...just a little bit lighter. Swatching it next to these higher-end formulas really made me appreciate how great the formula is...it's hard to believe these are only $3.99!
I also posted swatches on my Snapchat (budgetbeauty) yesterday and I made sure to download it since it'll disappear after today. In the video, you can also see the new Wet n Wild Multi-Stick swatches. I'm sorry the quality is so crappy.
