Wet n Wild Mega Cushion Contour + Highlight
Shimmery liquid highlighter, but poorly packaged product
I tried the highlight. This is a great formula -- just the right pigment and easy to apply exactly where I want it without the fallout of a powder. I love the amount of reflection -- just glowy enough without looking like highlighter. It reminds me of benefit's watts up. But the packaging sucks. I hate unscrewing the lid and using the cushion.

I picked this up in ultra violet, which has little pieces of glitter in it and is very reflective. This is great for an over-the-top look, but not an everyday highlighter. I had a little trouble with the packaging -- it seems like it's trying to be innovative, but it made getting the product out more complicated than it should be.

This highlighter has a pretty sheen that isn't too shimmery or dazzling. The cream formula means this product will last a LONG time. I wasn't crazy about the shade that I tried (Anthelion).

This is a natural-looking, light powder that covers imperfections, but I'm wary of recommending it as sun protection. Doesn't seem like it could possibly cover everything. But, if you're using it in place of your regular makeup rather than as sun protection, it can't hurt.

Verdict: It does indeed give my skin a lit-from-within glow without looking greasy, but, oh man, does it feel greasy. The oil never really absorbs, meaning my face was damp to the touch well after applying it. Not a feeling I enjoy.

I'm not sure this should be considered a foundation. It is very, very light -- almost like a watery BB. It does feel great on, and it didn't give me any dry patches or settle into the lines under my eyes. But I would really just reserve this for days when I'm feeling pretty great about my skin.

This gave me enough coverage to disguise discoloration, and also felt moisturizing. But, why, oh why, do brands continue to house perfectly good products in these cushion compacts? The applicator is hard to use, and the sponge to apply the product is useless.

This is a very full-coverage foundation. It made my skin look completely uniform, and I think it makes a great base for highlighting and contouring. But the flawlessness effect was lost when I looked closely at my face. This is the kind of foundation that settles into my skin in a way that makes my pores look more defined. Perhaps it's not for those with dry skin.

This is great for creating fun beauty looks. The liner has a really straight applicator, and the dot tool made me feel brave about experimenting with a over-the-top look. I wish it were a little more inky and pigmented, though.

Very creamy and the most pigmented liner I've tried. The brush end makes it easy to move around and smudge, great if you're going for a smokey eye. I hate smokey eyes, so this is not something I'd use. I will say that the liner end was not to hard to make a straight line with, so there's that.
