Wet n Wild's Megalo Highlighters ~ Powder, Liquid & Stick ~ Review + Swatches

wet n wild megalo hello HALO liquid highlighters review

As promised, I'm back with another wet n wild review for you. Today, it's all about that glow. A good great highlight can make or break a look and in my humble opinion, is second after brows on the 'must do' scale. When it comes to highlighters, I have a very firm belief that more is more - I like my highlight blinding! I recently had the pleasure of taking some of wet n wild's megalo highlighters (liquid, powder & stick) out for a test drive, and I was not disappointed!

I'm going to come right out and say it; wet n wild megalo hello HALO liquid highlighters are amazing! They're infused with Murumuru Seed Butter, Grapeseed Oil and Vitamin E to keep skin hydrated and to even out texture. Perfect for winter when my skin is dry as hell and powder makes it worse. There are seven shades available and I have three of them - Halographic, Rosy and Ready & Guilded Glow. I found them to be near identical in quality, blendability, buildability and pigmentation. I seriously love that how they have a doe foot applicator opposed to a dropper. I have had far too many droppers break on me, so I am REALLY happy to see that this one has an applicator with a screw top. It's hard to pick a favourite shade out of the three I own, but if I had to pick one, it would be Halographic. It's insanely pretty, intense and very on trend. Oh, and it's vegan!

Wet n wild megalo highlighting powder is a cult classic for a good reason. It's blinding and it's damn cheap (in the good way). I own two of them and I need more - all of them! This ultra pearly powder is blendable, buildable and most importantly, very long wearing. When I'm feeling extra (which is almost always) I will layer these on top of the megalo liquid highlighter. When I'm looking for an ethereal look I reach for Blossom Glow (an almost holographic pink). Pro tip, layer it over the megalo liquid highlighter in Halographic for a crazy, holographic glow. On days where I want something a little more natural (I use the term natural loosely), I rock Precious Petals (a rose gold shade). Not only are they beautiful highlighters, they make lovely eyeshadows. I can't get over how large the pans are too - I don't think I'll ever run out of these shades. You need these, you really do!

Perfectly sized for on the go, wet n wild megalo makeup sticks have the potential to be your bff for travel. Keyword, potential. There are a few issues I have with these. First of all, the cap. It fits loosely and I can already envision it coming off in my purse. If that's not enough, they smell. Badly. In all fairness, the highlight stick isn't as bad as the blush. Pigment wise, the highlight stick is very subtle and natural. I don't find it wears very long though.

I don't honestly know how I feel about the megalo makeup stick - blush in Floral Majority. I dislike the cap and the worst thing about this product is the smell. It smells horrible - like crayons. And not just any crayon, crayons from the 90's that have been sitting in a tin (yes, my parents still have my old crayons and my god they stinkšŸ˜‚). The product on the other hand is decent. It applies well and looks very natural. It wears for a decent amount of time, too. The scent does fade, but I can't help but wonder what is causing it to reek like that. And if I'm being honest, I don't want that on my face. These are a pass for me.


Weird smelling blush aside, I'm super impressed with these face products from wet n wild. I've got 2 more wet n wild posts planned for you, so make sure to check back soon ✌
