Really liked this and it can be used in so many different ways. This colour is beautiful and a tiny bit is enough to give a sunny glow to someone fair skinned like me. Lasts for ages and really easy to use.

This product is just OK. I won't repurchase it even though it was very cheap. I like my ELF golden bronzzer 1000x better. Get that it's way better and its the same price!

This does have nice colors, however once you get the color you get all the shimmer too. Not natural. Well, maybe not the best colors either this line has for fair skin. Could work as a highlighter very subtley for fair skin.

I'm nc42/ golden tan, so this is wonderful for me! It's a great multi-use product and worth far more than the 3.99 pricetag! It's great as a bronzer and highlighter, but what I really love to use this for is eyeshadows!!! Wet N Wild keeps putting out some of the best drugstore products ever! Price and quality of eyeshadows and bronzers are on par with highend brands. There was a time when I recoiled from it like a hot flame! I'm now proud to say I love this line! I look forward to their new collections!
Update: I have been using the two Mega Glo products! The colors go well together. I love using these colors as eyeshadows with the other colors in the 347 Spotlight Peach Mega Glo Illuminator. Just had to share that! Great for natural looks!

This a gorgeous bronze colored blush. It's very pigmented and looks great on medium skin. I would advise you to use a light hand if you want to use as a blush (has lots of shimmer) or just use as a highlighter. I like to use this in the summer. It's a wonderful product for a great price. I'd repurcahse, but probably won't have to for a long time since I use so sparingly.

I am definitely NOT repurchasing this again, simply because the powder is packed in so tightly that I can't get any product anytime I try to swipe my brush over it. I've tried using different kinds of brushes, and packing as much onto my brush as I could, but nothing I tried could get me a decent payoff. Instead, I had to use the lid to scrape off some of the powder and apply it as though it were a loose powder. Applied like this, the colours are really pretty, but it's too much of a trouble to use when there's so many other pressed powders in the drugstore that are similar colours and are much easier to apply.

OOooh LOVE this product! A perfect all-over highlight. It adds the tiniest bronze shade when applied. The colors are not pigmented so it can't be used for eyeshadow but it definitely works for highlighting! I would definitely repurchase for such a cheap price!

Ok, the shimmers are pretty, but might be too "glittering" if apply too much. However, with just a dab and swept lightly over your entire face it can bring out the glow!

I got this in a hurry, thinking a bronzer would be a fun thing to try. I was wrong. I wanted to have a bronzed look, with out looking glittery. i have NC20 skin that burns easily in summer, so its fun to pretend im tanning. i don't like the shimmer. If you dont care about shimmer go for it! It's just not my thing.

EDIT: I wore this out in sunlight, and saw i looked like an oopmah loompah doused in body glitter. PLUS i dropped it, while try to open it at my fanity, it dropped 2 inches, and is completely shatterd. BIG disappointment.....

I bought this when walgreens was having WNW BOGOF sale. This is a fantastic bronzer!! At the store I was a little concerned it would be OTT shimmer, but I figured at 3.99 who could go wrong? I am quite pleased I got this as it gives the most subtle natural glow (with subtle shimmer) ever on my MAC NC30-35 skintone. This is what I had hoped NARS laguna would be like on me. It is quite beautiful when used with WnW acupulco glow.

Wow!! I actually really like this! I don't use bronzers but I use some of the lighter colors here to give me a glow.....I LOVE having a natural glow!! This stuff is so fine and pretty!! The only complain is that this.....everything is kind of glittery....fine glitters which is a plus if I dust this of my cheeks but for the darker colors that I want to use as a little contoring it just glitters away~ Lol, though I can't say it's bad of this because it is a bronzer afterall!!! I would definitely repurchase this but won't any sooner because there is SO much product! :)

I was looking at this not for a highlighter/bronzer but for an eyeshadow compact. I was lemming between this and the PF shimmer stripes. But since I wasn't sure how I would like either one it really came down to $3.99 or $10.99. Needless to say I decided upon the $3.99. This makes a really great bronze eye on fair skin. Makes my blue eyes pop. Especially beautiful with Max Factors Deep Auburn or Deep Blue mascara!

Can't go wrong with such a great price! There is just the right amount of shimmer and pigment. The different strips are great for contouring, highlighting, or illuminating. I totally recommend this product! Only small complaint, the twist on lid isn't so handy if your in a rush..

Great product. Beautiful bronzer with shimmer. All these colors go together so beautifully!! Love wet n wild!!

I would like to UPDATE my review. I still give this 5 stars, I would give it 10 stars if I could. I recently used this the other day for a night out. This gives me such a beautiful bronze glow with shimmer but the shimmer gives me this glow. It just illuminates my cheeks. I do find this very pigmented so I have to go light handed. I tried using it with my MAC skunk brush but I think just a big powder brush would be better. I think I picked this up at Wal-Mart for under 8 bucks. This product could be sold at sephora for like 30 or more dollars. I love wet n wild. They make beauty so affordable!:D

With a price of $4 you can't beat this product. Especially when it compares to some of the bronzers you find at Sephora. It's not too sparkly, too shiny, or too bright. It adds a glow to your skin that is just perfect and has tiny illuminators in it that reflect in the sun. I would definitely buy this product again and again.

it gives a good shine and is decent for the price
but the packaging ruined it for me...the lid got caught on the product and ruined one of the colours completely, it doesnt close very easily at all.

I received this as a freebie from CVS. This review may reflect my utter incompetence with blush and bronzers - but each time I put this on, I looked like I had just returned from an Appalachian Train maintenance trip wearing my obligatory layer of fine dirt. I tried using large fluffy brushes and treating it as a powdered bronzer. I tried using blush brushes and treating it as a blush. I tried picking up only lighter stripes of color. I tried picking up one stripe of color. Same result. Dirt face. I like getting grungy on occasion, but I don't want to apply makeup to get the same result I can get hiking outdoors. Good thing this puppy was free.
