Well would you look at this. A drugstore highlighting powder from Wet 'n Wild that I've been reaching for every day since I got it a few weeks back, even over some other favorites from much more expensive brands.
Not only is Precious Petals gorgeous to look at and reminiscent of much higher end brands, it also applies smoothly with minimal powder kick-up, perhaps due to it's talc free formula? Shimmer can be built up from glow-from-within to high beam by applying layers. For the arm swatches, you are looking at 3 layers and a resulting high beam shimmer.
The color of Precious Petals is what I consider a soft champagne pink. It's slightly pinker than BECCA's Opal, although in the same ballpark. I have one other limited edition highlighter from Le Metier de Beaute that is close in color, Trompe l'Oeil.
Both Opal and Trompe l'Oeil kick up much more powder in comparison, although they both apply beautifully. Precious Petals is right up there with them, however, which is saying something considering it's $4 price tag.
Too bad Precious Petals and it's sister Crown of my Canopy are limited edition! I tried to pick up the darker Crown of my Canopy once I realized how nice Precious Petals is, but they were all gone, gone, gone. Within a few days, actually, and I'm already seeing listings on ebay with prices just shy of $30. Crazy. Good.
