Being melanin challenged to the point of being practically albino, I was on the prowl for something that would give me a natural sun kissed shimmer without a side of carcinogenic melanoma.  I picked up Wet n Wild’s Mega Shimmer Illuminating Powder in Golden Glow.  And this is where my search for the perfect inexpensive bronzer hit an unfortunate pothole.

At $3.99 the price was right but everything else was way wrong.  First of all, you need to be in Mensa to figure out how to get the product out.  Apparently to keep the price low they decided not to print directions on how to use this tricky tube.  When I finally figured it out and dusted the powder on my cheeks I looked like I motor boated a stripper.  This stuff was so glittery it was ridiculous and the color left me looking more Hulk Hogan than golden girl.

Rating: 0.5 Carats.  Save your money, this is more sun smacked than sun kissed.
