Today, we are taking a look at the semi-new highlighter in the Bretman Rock collection that was released by Wet n Wild. Now most of you may have already checked this collection out but in my area, it has been difficult to locate, especially given the restrictions of products shipping currently.
It was available for a short time on Ulta’s website and is currently available on the Wet n Wild site. I was able to find mine in a local Fred Meyer. This product retails for $7.99 and includes two loose highlighters in the shades Gold Lioness and Bronzed Tigress. According to the packaging, both shades are safe for use on the eyes, lips and face, which is probably a good thing as one of the colors is rather unique.
Starting with the shade Gold Lioness, the formula seems very similar to the other shades of Wet n Wild’s lose highlighters. This shade is golden in color and has a slight shift to a pinky color which plays nicely with the other shade. It is a finely milled powder and goes on smoothly. The pink reflect comes from small sparkles of pink throughout the powder, but is not chunky in any way.
The other shade, Bronze Tigress, is a new formula that I have never seen. In the package it appears to be bronze in coloring with a heavy pink flip. However, when you swatch or apply it to the skin, the powder is extremely chunky and appears to be mostly glitter particles. While I could not use this shade as a highlighter, it is nice to know that if one of these shades don’t work for you as the intended purpose, it is safe to use them in other ways and I would most likely use this shade as an eyeshadow topper.
Lastly, I wanted to talk about the packaging. As mentioned, there are two shades in this duo but there is no risk of mixing the two shades if you don’t want to. Each side has a plastic clasp inner lid to keep the product in the appropriate location. This is completely unique to this product and I haven’t seen another product utilize this mechanism in this way. It helps to keep the mess down and keep the shades separate.
So with all this information, the question you have to ask is, is this product worth the $7.99 price tag? I would say, if you don’t have anything like this in your collection and these shades are appealing to you, then yes, it is worth it. However, if you are only planning on using one side then I would recommend seeking out other options.
