BECCA PEARL GLOW Shimmering Eye Palette

From the moment I saw this palette with all its beautiful pearly shades, I knew I needed it in my life. Just look at this beautiful pan texture:

I had a $15 off coupon so it was perfect timing!

Unfortunately, my excitement turned into disappointment after just one use… Here are my thoughts:

  • The palette case is beautiful and sturdy and comes with a nice mirror.
  • The colour range is right up my alley and some of these shades have a very pretty shift.
  • However, the pigmentation is pretty terrible in comparison to most palettes out there today.
  • The texture is quite dry and crumbly.

Here are my swatches (which I had to work hard for):

ℹ️For my swatches I had to use a primer because they were swatching terribly on bare skin. I had to work a lot to get them to show well and go over it multiple times.
Overall: If you’re looking for pretty, shifty eyeshadow toppers, this is a great palette for that. However, at $46, I don’t think it’s worth it for eye toppers.
If you’re wanting a pigmented, buttery shimmers palette, this isn’t it.

❓Have you made any disappointing purchases this season? Let me know what they were so I won’t make the same mistake!
💕I hope you all had an excellent weekend full of savings!

BECCA Ultimate Lipstick Love

I had never before used Becca Cosmetics lipsticks, but I’m definitely loving the 3 shades I purchased recently!
The photo shows, from left to right, the shades: Mauve, Truffle, Petal. Bottom: Crimson.

I signed up for Boxyluxe and my box had the Crimson lipstick in it. I didn’t swatch that one because I’m hoping to trade it, but after being disappointed that I got a red, I decided to simply purchase the shades I was most interested in.

Swatches (on fair skin) of BECCA Ultimate Lipstick Love in Mauve, Truffle and Petal:

I used a 30% off promo which is STILL available at Gilt.com and only paid $16.80 for each lipstick (Reg. $24)

I’m happy to report that all these shades are to my liking in person!

This lipstick is very pigmented, creamy enough (but not overly) and very comfortable to wear.

  • The entire range is divided in Warm, Cool and Neutral so you can choose a perfect shade depending on your skintone.
  • Most of the shades are natural looking pinks, nudes, and there’s a few reds too.

Did you get one of these in your Boxycharm? What do you think of it?
I hope you’re all having a great Monday!

BECCA x Khloé & Malika Bronze, Blush & Glow Face Palette REVIEW & SWATCHES

This is the “Made with love by Khloé” version. I’ve had this BECCA palette for a while now and although it’s my first palette from this brand, I have to say I absolutely love it!

Becca x Khloe Face Palette Review

Becca x Khloe Face Palette fair skin Review

  • From a fair skin perspective, I was afraid to buy this palette thinking it might not work – But it did! The bronzer is not as dark as I thought it’d be. It isn’t as cool toned as my contour powders so I use this shade only for bringing warmth to my face and it works, as long as I’m light-handed with it.
  • The highlighter works perfectly for my fair skin and is definitely light enough to actually highlight – it’s very beautiful and smooth and not glittery whatsoever.
  • The blushes are absolutely gorgeous and glowy on my face (quite glowy) so these are not for somebody who’s looking for a matte blush. The difference between the two blush shades is not huge but you can tell they’re different colours.
Here is a closeup of the palette so you can see the texture:

Overall, I absolutely love this face palette and I’m glad I bought it, my only (small) con is that it’s very glowy and if you’re definitely going to notice it especially if you wear both the blush and the highlighter.

So if you’re trying to look really natural be careful with your placing of the blush because it’s a highlighting glowy blush (but I do love it for full face days).

❔Have you tried this palette or the other, darker version? Do you love glowy blushes or prefer matte? ? Let me know, I’m curious!
