Wet n Wild Fergie Centerstage Collection Shimmer Palette in Rosé Champagne Glow is exactly what it sounds like - a pinky champagne colored highlighter. It's a baked product and so it can be used wet or dry to give a flattering pearl finish to the skin. It contains 0.4 oz / 11.3 grams and the price retails for around $5 depending on what store you go to.
The product is marbled and so each one is slightly different. I chose the one on the right so that I could have more of that warm pinky glow.
The packaging is a lightweight plastic and so I'm worried about it breaking easily. It's a bit bulky for my taste, but there's so much product that I'll accept the extra amount of packaging.

On the top picture, I have nothing on my cheeks. On the bottom, I put it on my cheekbones and you can slightly see a shimmery pinky champagne glow. I'm super annoyed at my pictures because the glow is more obvious in person but so hard to picture because of the reflective aspect of the product.
So here's more pictures! Again, it's on my cheekbones. The shimmer is very fine, which I was surprised about. The first few swatches I did had some glitter pieces but it disappeared and left behind beautiful fine shimmers.
The product itself is hard, but is a bit powdery if you sweep your brush around it too much. I use ELF's Complexion Brush to brush it on top of the right half of the product a few times and then brush it on my cheeks. Simple and easy to do!
The shimmer does fade a bit, but just as much as my NARS Highlighter in Albatross or theBalm Mary Lou-Manizer. Just for reference, Rose Champagne Glow is not as BAM! as Mary Lou-Manizer and so it's easy to just brush on and not worry about it looking too crazy. A bit of shimmer transfers to other parts of my face, but it's mostly because I do put my hands on my face a lot.
You can definitely layer it on too. If you're pale enough, I believe that this can be used as a highlighting blush as well. I can't test this because I have a medium (MAC NC35 / Missha M Perfect BB Cream in #27 / Maybelline Dream Smooth Foundation Natural Beige) skin tone.
Final thoughts: I highly recommend this highlighter! It gives a very nice glow and you don't have to worry about looking greasy or like a glitter bomb exploded on your face. It's perfect for highlighter newbies and makeup lovers in general. The pinky rosey shade to the highlighter can give a hint of color to the face as well. There's also so much product for such a good price that I want everyone to just try it out.
