Wet n Wild Mega Glow Contouring Palette

Contouring is all the rage. Although it doesn't work well for my cheekbone less chubby cheeks, Its fun to play around with.
I have been wanting a matte contour/bronzer shade for a while. I didn’t want to splurge on an ABH or KVD one because I don’t need that many colours, and I dont like using those banana or cream shades. I think the ABH or KVD palettes only work for actual MUA's, because they need different colours for different skin tones.

I am really pleased with this product!

I got this mostly for the dark shade. Its a milk chocolate shade (the exact same colour as a Kinder Egg actually). The lighter shade is a slightly yellow cream shade. Its a few shades lighter then my own skin tone, (NC25) so I dont know if I will use it.
The powder itself is very soft and buttery.
I use a flat blending face brush (#116 from BH Cosmetics 10 Piece Sculpt/Blend) to apply it. I dont dig into the powder like I usually do with bronzer. You really need to lightly tap it on, and build it in two layers so you dont make it to heavy by accident. I find that this blends out well. It doesn't look like streaks on my cheeks.

I use this more as a "bronzer/blush" then a contour really. Although I love heavy makeup on a daily basis, I tend to keep my eyes heavy and my face more basic.

Here are some photos of it in action!

Here is a quick run down of this product

Price: ♥♥♥♥♥
I got this for 5-6$ at Superstore. Walmart did not have in stock at the time, but it would probably be cheaper their. You cant beat the price for this. I think I would be willing to pay up to 20$ for this if it was a different brand

Packaging: ♥♥♥♡♡ This compact is pretty big, a bit smaller then a CD disk. Its difficult to store, I feel like the ergonomics of this are off. I also dont like how much space the product/pressed powder takes up, I feel like there should be more of a division between the two colours. I dont mind that it doesnt have a mirror because I never use the mini mirrors in products anyways.

Quality: ♥♥♥♥♡ I really love this and I reach for it daily, but the lighter contouring shade doesn't do anything for me personally. I have drier skin, so I dont want to put powder all over my face.


Pros:
Cheap
Good amount of product that will take a while to use up
Very soft, but not chalky
WnW is CF

Cons:
Probably wouldn't work for someone darker then NC/NW/30-35 from my estimates
Packaging is lackluster and feels fragile.
You need a brush to apply this, so it may take more time to use. I know that if I am feeling lazy I like stick bronzers/contours.
