Wet’n’Wild Rose Champagne Glow
Hello, beauties. I hope you had a nice weekend! I have to mention this first: I think these new Wet’n’Wild Shimmer Palettes from the Fergie Collection have unnecessarily long names. Anyways, the Shimmer Palettes are baked shimmery powders that come in a small selection of colors. The shade I have is Rose Champagne Glow. I’m always on the lookout for new highlighters because I still haven’t found an absolute favorite. And while I do think Rose Champagne is nice, I don’t consider it my favorite.
Texture
Rose Champagne Glow isn’t powdery and applies easily. I do wish it was a bit softer, but at least the glitter is finely milled and doesn’t look chunky.
Pigmentation
This powder is not as pigmented as I thought it would be considering it looks quite strong in the pan. The sheerness ended up being a good thing because I prefer subtle highlighters.
Packaging
I typically find Wet’n’Wild packaging really flimsy and not very pretty, but it’s something I overlook because their prices are quite low. With that in mind, I almost didn’t buy this powder because it is quite unappealing in person (packaging-wise). It’s too big and clunky (as big as the palm of my hand).
Overall
I think this is an okay highlighter. The price is nice and the shimmer is pretty. I wish it lasted longer on the face and had better packaging. I do like it and will continue to use it, but it’s not something I would repurchase. I used Rose Champagne Glow in my last Face of the Day.

Great post!

10th Mar 2013 - 3:29 pmI like it, maybe u can use a primer with it?
Coco
11th Mar 2013 - 7:12 amI'm not big on primers other than eye primers. I like products that preform well on their own xxxx

10th Mar 2013 - 3:40 pmThe color looks pretty but indeed now very eye-catching packaging. If it was me I would have bought something much cuter hehe xD
However, thanks for the review!

10th Mar 2013 - 3:50 pmThanks for the review! Looks like a nice highlighter for the price, but there are definitely better ones out there. Still makes me curious to check out some Wet N' Wild soon 🙂

10th Mar 2013 - 4:39 pmThis does look pretty but like you said I don't think it's 'the one'. These Fergie products were all kind of let downs (from what I can tell)… hopefully you'll find your perfect highlighter one of these days though 🙂

10th Mar 2013 - 6:20 pmIt's a shame you don't love it as it's a lovely colour. I'm also put off wearing products that don't have good wear time, I hate reapplying during the day! xx

10th Mar 2013 - 6:47 pmI agree with you Coco! I bought this highlighter too, and it's okay but honestly nothing special, I much prefer my Dior Amber Diamond or Benefit High Beam over it!

10th Mar 2013 - 9:26 pmIt looks so pretty in the pan! I like the packaging, it reminds me of the new L'Oreal Eyeshadow quads.. I would have though it would look a bit more special considering how nice it looks in the compact 🙁 xxx

10th Mar 2013 - 11:50 pmThank you for this post!This was pretty much the only thing I was interested in in the Wet N' Wild Fergie collection but I think i'm just going to skip it due to this review. I've heard pretty crappy things about the shadows from this collection but I didn't heard much about the powder products.
Coco
11th Mar 2013 - 7:16 amYeah, judging from blog swatches the eyesadows don't look very impressive. It's an okay highlighter but there are better things out there. Def not a must have xx

11th Mar 2013 - 12:29 amI saw one of these the other day and I was gonna pick it up, but the shade was a bit too dark for me. If I saw this one, I probably would have gotten it. Very pretty!

11th Mar 2013 - 1:31 amBeautiful swatch! I wanted this when it first came out but I couldn't find the Fergie products anywhere.
Coco
11th Mar 2013 - 7:17 amI got this at Walgreens but it took my Walgreens a loong time to finally stock them xx

11th Mar 2013 - 2:18 amThank you for being honest with this review. I'm not sure that I like the color, on the skin, after seeing the swatch sheered out. I don't think this is something I would gravitate towards in store after seeing the color in the packaging.
Jessica
11th Mar 2013 - 4:28 amIs it weird that I still sort of want this? I can't find it anywhere (and I've looked)! The packaging doesn't bother jsut because of the price and how pretty I think the high lighter is (a bit highlighter obsessed,haha!) But I can totally see why you wouldn't like the packaging, not the greatest design! xx

11th Mar 2013 - 7:19 amHaha not weird at all because I saw this on Temptalia first and she gave it an okay/average review. Yet I still wanted to try it for myself because it looks gorgeous on the pan and it's affordable.

11th Mar 2013 - 11:31 amIn the pan it looks so pretty, too bad it's not long-lasting : / Maybe you can use it under a liquid highlighter to improve it ^^ Thanks a lot for the review Coco! xx

12th Mar 2013 - 4:15 amOoh I *love* how it looks in the pan and the swatches, a shame it doesn't really work, though, but it is pretty to look at. x
