Review: Wet n Wild Mega Glo Illuminating Powder in Starlight Bronze

I must admit I purchased this mainly because of how it looked.  I am a sucker for bronzy looking makeup.  I just love when a product looks as though it would give your face or body an instant glow.  So I purchased the Wet n Wild Mega Glo Illuminating Powder in Starlight Bronze.

THE PACKAGING



The bronzer comes in a twist off lid pan.  It's silver and the cover is transparent with the brand name written on it. It's easy to carry around  in your makeup bag. The back of the bronzer has the shade and the ingredients.

THE PRODUCT


This is a powder based bronzer which is great for oily/combination skin types. There are 4 different bronzy colors in the pan which can be used individually or together.  If you want to use it together you got to do the "swirl effect" - the Swirl Effect is taking your brush and swirling it lightly on the whole product. The pigmentation is great and it can be used as an eyeshadow too!!! It doesn't have over the top shimmer. The shimmer specs are really fine which makes it really beautiful on your skin and it can be worn both during the day and night.

THE APPLICATION



You can use your favorite bronzing brush or a big fluffy brush and bronze your face or body. You can use one color or all 4 colors at one time.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE



I love this bronzer, it's really on point for my skin.  I get this glowy look and everyone compliments me about my skin when I wear it. After a few hours it does fade away, however it doesn't  make my skin spotty or ugly looking.  And because it is so easy to carry around in my makeup bag, I just touch up and go. Some days I even use it as an eyeshadow for when I want that natural but glowy look to my eyes.
I give this product

5/5

Review: Too Faced Primed & Poreless



Too Faced came out with a primer called Primed & Poreless which is a skin smoothing face primer. They call it "one of a kind makeup primer was scientifically formulated to wear under bronzers and foundation powders or alone to achieve the look of flawless skin without makeup" 
I purchased this primer from Makeup Attitude on FB and I bought this without a clue of what to expect from it, I did no research on it or anything and I must say that this product surprised me...PLEASANTLY!!!

THE PACKAGING


I have never actually owned any products from Too Faced prior to this but the packaging for the product is ideal.  I bought the sample size tube.  It comes in a light pink squeeze tube.  The Too Faced logo and product name is at the front of the tube with brief directions on how to apply.  The sample tube has a needle nose dispenser which I believe would differ from the full sized package.

THE PRODUCT

The texture is very creamy and has a slightly yellow gold tone. And a little goes a long way as I only needed a pea sized amount to coat my entire face.  Now I swear what I saw after I rubbed the product in AMAZED me!!! About 50% of my pores were gone, my face was looking so smooth, I double checked in the mirror to verify what happened in the space of time between before and after applying the product.  But it became even more smooth when I applied my foundation over it, my face looked like porcelain.  The product feels so light on your skin and it does not clog pores and my face looks less oily during the day.

THE APPLICATION

Just use a pea sized amount and rub it into, all over your face for smooth flawless finish.

MY OVERALL EXPERIENCE

I enjoyed using this product and it makes me feel to go out and purchase the full size of this product. The creamy texture is very pleasant to work with and it does a good job of masking pores and fine lines.  The packaging for dispensing of the product is perfect. I absolutely recommend this and I must say this is my money well spent. I give this

5/5
