Wet n Wild Profile

Wet n Wild is a long-time popular drugstore brand that produces on-trend shades and products ranging from lips to eyes; face to nails. I think you would be hard-pressed to find someone who didn't begin their makeup journey with this brand and Wet n Wild continues to be a favorite for many--especially those looking for cruelty-free, drugstore beauty alternatives.

Wet n Wild teamed up with Black Eyed Peas member, solo music artist and new-mom, Fergie, to create a fierce line of products dubbed the "Fergie Center Stage Collection". Colors and packaging are unique to Fergie's collection, setting them apart from Wet n Wild's other lines and embodying a sleek, vibrant feel. Prices remain budget-friendly to boot! One of the products in Fergie's collection is the To Reflect Shimmer Palette. I have this palette in Rose Champagne Glow to share with you.

Price

This palette retails for $5.99 (.4 oz/11.3 grams)

Where to Buy

Wet n Wild products can be found at a number of drugstores, big box stores, etc. I tend to have the most luck with Wet n Wild at drugstores such as Walgreens and CVS.

Wet n Wild Fergie Shimmer Palette in Rose Champagne Glow Swatches and Review

Product Type

This is a baked palette that contains 3 complementary shades swirled together to create a glowing complexion. This is meant to be used wherever you wish on your face and can be applied wet or dry.

Shade

Rose Champagne Glow is accurately named as it gives skin a rose-tinted champagne wash of shimmer. It is easiest to see the tint behind the shimmer when not in direct light, so I have 2 swatches below--one in which you can see the color and one in which you can see how reflective it is.

As you can see, there is a rose tint under the champagne shimmer.

In direct light this has a highly reflective finish

On the Face

As you can see above, this shimmer palette is extremely reflective. It is not as finely milled as some shimmery face powders, but it's also not "chunky". It has a fairly smooth texture to it. It does emphasize skin texture and pores, so if you are concerned about that I wouldn't recommend using this with a heavy hand. For those that want a heavy shimmer for highlighting, this is for you! The color is lovely and reminds me of quite a few high-end products currently on the market. Like most powders, this can be a bit drying. For those with dry skin (like me) I always recommend that if you wish to wear a powder product you lightly pat it over a nice luxe cream product.

My Thoughts

There is only one way to describe this palette--SHIMMERY! This product is cruelty-free and very budget-friendly, especially compared to high-end products with similar colors and purposes currently on the market. This is certainly the most reflective face powder I've come across, which may be what you're looking for or may be something you avoid. If you have mature skin or the texture of your skin is uneven I would recommend a little trial and error prior to going out with this on. I think personal preference will heavily come into play with this palette because of it's intense shimmer. I suggest using a loosely packed powder brush or duo fiber stippling brush for the lightest application to start as you can always build up its intensity.

Bottom line: If you want some extra sparkle and shine this holiday season this may be just what the doctor ordered! If not, then you may want to explore some of the other products in Wet n Wild and Fergie's Center Stage Collection.

What do you think? Are you a total magpie and drawn to the rose champagne shimmer of this palette?
