BECCA Cosmetics

This collaboration is one of the biggest of the year and I’m so excited to share my initial thoughts with you all! This item released online today at Sephora.com. It will come to all Sephora stores July 17th. I was able to snag it at a Sephora store that had them out early a few days ago.

In my first time playing with the product, there is no denying that ‘Champagne Pop’ is absolutely exquisite. If you are familiar with BECCA Cosmetics and their Shimmering Skin Perfecter formula, you know all about the silky smooth feeling you get when you touch the product. It has extremely fine shimmers scattered throughout the product so you won’t look like Edward Cullen if you don’t want to.

The product is buildable to an intense shine, but a single layer will probably suffice for everyday wear. It is a pale gold color that has more of a peach undertone that other products I have making this product really unique in my collection. Upon initial photgraphs (and indoor lighting), I thought this looked similar to ‘Wisp’ by ColourPop Cosmetics. However, upon further inspection (aka walking outside in sunlight), I could see that ‘Wisp’ is more of a true champagne color and ‘Champagne Pop’ is definitely warmer.

I was hesitant to purchase this because I thought it might be too light for me. But the tone is flattering on my skin and doesn’t wash out my cheeks of look like a bunch of ashy shimmer. Like I said before, it is unique in my collection and it is probably the lightest I will go for a highlight. I lean towards deep golden and bronze highlights, especially in the summer, because I am typically outside and get super tan for a majority of the season. I can see myself using this more in the winter as it will flatter my natural skintone as well and add a healthy amount of glow where a bronze highlight might look too forced for the season.

Overall, I’m happy with this color and am happy with my purchase! However, if Jaclyn Hill’s name had not been attached, I probably wouldn’t have given this color the time of day. It just goes to show how much attention I pay when an influential name is attached!

‘Champagne Pop’ sold out in record time today on Sephora.com reportedly selling as many as 1,000 units per minute and it was gone within a matter of hours. The Sephora site indicates that this item will be back in stock online at some point soon since the term ‘Coming Soon’ can be found on the page. It would probably say ‘Sold Out’ or the listing would be removed if they didn’t have more on the way.

If you weren’t able to get this today, definitely check back everyday! I say everyday because the next batch might sell quicker than this one, so be ready and good luck!

I can’t believe I am just now finding out about how amazing Becca Cosmetics highlighters are! Why hasn’t anyone told me!? Today will go down in history as the day I upped my highlighter game!

This beauty is the BRAND NEW Limited Edition Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in BLUSHED COPPER. This color is everything. For my darker skinned ladies (medium/tan – darker), I would highly recommend using this as a highlighter this summer. This is a must have in my opinion. The color goes on so smooth and it is very blendable. You can add just a sheer layer of color with a larger powder brush or go more heavy handed with a denser brush. In the photo below, you can see how this color looks blended out on the left side of my hand. On the right, you can see a non-blended swatch straight from the pan, to my finger, to my hand. Either one is gorgeous!

Also, can we just take a moment to appreciate this packaging! Rose gold is really on trend right now and I know Becca Cosmetics scored some fans with this choice. The entire base of the compact is rose gold instead of the standard black packaging. I love this feature that adds to the limited edition appeal of the compact. It also matches perfectly with the product! Inside the compact, you have a nice amount of product with a geometric design on top. There is also a fairly large mirror that takes up the entire inside of the flip top.

Just so you understand how obsessed I am with Becca Cosmetics, I wanted to let you know that I will be going to Sephora this week to swatch some blogger favorites I have been getting acquainted with. I am especially excited about the new cream highlighter line they recently launched as well. It features favorite shades like Opal and Moonstone in a cream consistency. You all might be hearing more about Becca Cosmetics in the near future!
