I'm a huge fan of Wet n Wild cosmetics. They make some fabulous products at affordable prices and they are cruelty-free. Like any line though, they have some products that are not so great but that is subjective as well.
I was on the search for the perfect cream highlighter that would be affordable and give me the glow that I'm looking for. I figured that I didn't have much to lose when I saw this new product by Wet n Wild, Afterall it was only about $5 CAD.
At the time that I purchased this, this shade "When the Nude Strikes," was the only shade available.

- Easy to blend formula that’s long-wearing and crease proof
- Ultra-portable sticks can be used anywhere, anytime

The cream formula is very creamy and easy to apply. It's very easy to control application which I liked.
I applied it to my cheeks using my fingertips or with cosmetic wedges/ sponges. Applied this way the product sheers out so you don't see the colour.
However, the product contains glitter (which doesn't show in the photos), but my face looked like a glitter bomb, which wasn't the "glow" that I was after. The name of the product made me think that I would get a glow and not glitter, but drugstore products are notorious for glitter.
If you do like glitter, I recommend this product but if you are just looking for a glow or just shimmer I would pass on this one.
So my search for a cream blush has ended. I am quite happy with my new Essence Pure Nude highlighter. Although it's a powder, it gives me the glow that I'm looking for! 😍
