Wet n Wild MegaGlo Highlighting Powder, Precious Petals Review

I picked this up on a whim when placing a Farmers order online. I had read good reviews about wet n wild highlighters but not being able to swatch the shade was a worry initially.

Precious petals is a gorgeous peachy/golden shade with shimmery undertones. I have quite pale skin so I was worried it may be too dark but the colour is very buildable and flattering on my porcelain skin. It leaves a lovely glow without being glittery. It is definitely a highlighter most skin types can use. I apply this using the wet n wild fan brush as I find I get a more subtle look.

The plastic packaging isn't what I would consider high-end, the lid marks easily and has already broken at the hinge but considering the size of the pan and the price I can live with this.

This is a really beautiful highlighter and is a steal for $12.99. It has become one of my go to highlighters and I highly recommend this shade.

I got this highlighter as a gift and I am so stoked with it. It looks gorgeous, picks up really well on the brush and applies nicely to the face. It has a beautiful glow and lasts me the entire day.

The only thing with it is that you do need to tap off a bit of the excess so it doesn't get everywhere.

I have to be honest I only bought this product 2 days ago and it’s pretty good. It’s quite a subtle highlighter but is definitely buildable so can be more striking with a heavier hand. I love the colour as it’s a great everyday highlight that would suit most skin tones. It has lasted a good 6 hours before fading slightly but I did have to apply a lot of product. It comes in a slim plastic container which fits perfectly inside any makeup bag. I will definitely buy this again as it was a great price but it’s definitely not the best low priced highlighter I’ve tried. Wet N Wild are a great brand and are cruelty free which isn’t always the case with many lower priced brands but it definitely tries to read reviews before committing to any of their products .

This highlighter is amazing. It is better than a number of my high end expensive highlighters and its only $13 at Farmers. I am blown away by how great this is, so reflective and shimmery without being glittering and chunky. It is perfect.

I bought Precious Petals from the WetnWild website (before it was available in NZ) for $USD4.99. When it comes to the packaging you get what you pay for with the plastic compact that is prone to scratches.

In the pan the product appears to be a semi frosty light peach so naturally I started to regret my decision thinking it may prove to be too ashy on me. The texture is smooth with only a bit of kick up when I use a tapered brush.

On my skin it’s a soft warm gold peach with a touch of shimmer which is similar to two other highlighters in my collection; Becca Champagne Pop and Dose of Colors Fuego. It’s not just a great dupe but also the quality is on par with Becca but for a fraction of the cost! The only difference with the WNW highlighter is that it gives off an intense metallic sheen so I would recommend using a fan brush to build up the desired intensity.

This highlighter can emphasise texture on my skin but it doesn’t bother me too much (after all it’s a highlighter not a concealer!). It last 6+ hours over my face paint which is quite good considering I have oily skin. If you’re on a budget and would like to get a ‘high-end quality’ product I recommend buying Precious Petals.

This shade in particular is quite universal and should work on many skin tones. Beautiful warm rose gold undertone with finely milled shimmer highlight. Looks beautiful on the skin and works really well as an eyeshadow as well.

I love this highlighter so much! I don’t really care too much for the packaging or presentation I just love the product itself. It has a lovely glow on the skin, not blindingly bright, but it can be super bright if you add a setting spray to the product on the brush. It is not chunky at all and it blends beautifully!

I've been wanting to try this for ages and was so happy to see it in stock during my last trip to Farmers.

First of all the packaging is pretty basic - black plastic with a clear plastic cover. The product makes up for this simplicity (and I guess when you're paying 12.99 you can hardly expect fancy materials to be used).

I love the pattern on this highlighter and it hurts me to think one day it will be gone - but gone it will as this has quickly become the highlighter I reach for every day. On my skin there's no noticeable colour change, BUT there is this gorgeous natural glow - no chunky glitter, it blends right in.

If you're wanting to be seen from outer space, this might not be for you, but if you're wanting something natural yet that has impact, pick it up for sure!

I had to try this highlighter after hearing rave reviews about it. I actually checked out it's price in both NZ and the US before buying it in NZ because it worked out about the same in both places once you converted the currency.

The highlighter is a great affordable highlighter that does really does make your face glow.

I've found that the highlighter suits my skin best when I have a tan, as then the colour blends in slightly more naturally, but that is a personal preference thing.

The packaging is simple and fairly cheap, but because this is a cheap drugstore brand that packs a punch, the packaging works for the brand.

All in all, I've found other highlighter that suit my skin tone slightly better but none this affordable. If they offered a larger range I think they'd be even more successful.

I was on the hunt for this highlighter for ages! When I finally saw it I grabbed it as it has only had amazing reviews. When I first tried it out i was blown away!! The shine it gives you on your skin is so beautiful and amazing! If you just want a subtle glow use a very very light hand. Also it is incredibly affordable and how cute is the imprint in the product! All in all I love this product!
