The queen Anastasia Beverly Hills released two, four pan highlighter palettes earlier this year and all the highlighter gods were pleased! These palettes, called Glow Kits, are ridiculously pigmented and are key to achieving the maximum strobe effect. I threw these all over my face so to see shades on my skintone and hear how fabulous these are, keep reading!Continue Reading
I’ve selected just a few of my most trusted shadows and face powders and placed them in a medium Z Palette that fits perfectly on top of my bedroom dresser so I can easily grab it and take it in my bathroom to do my makeup (ideal world) or in my work bag if I need to put on my makeup on the go (reality).
The re-release of MAC’s extra dimension skinfinishes have been causing quite the frenzy after the success of fan favorites ‘Whisper of Gilt’ & ‘Superb’ were released a few years ago. The announcement of even the slightest possibility of a ‘Whisper of Gilt’ comeback sent beauty bloggers into full on private detective mode as we all scrambled for confirmation. Even though ‘WOG’ did not reappear, MAC blessed highlight aficionados with ‘Oh, Darling’ and ‘Shaft of Gold’ and I am not complaining one bit! Read more to find out why!Continue Reading

Boy, have I got a treat for you all! The lovely ladies of DupeThat are set to release a duo of highlighters in October and they graciously sent me both to test out and share with you all.

I got some more eyeshadows and some brand new highlighter shades to share with you guys from my newest brand obsession, Looxi Beauty! Looxi has some of the best quality shadows for only $5 each! And there may or may not be a dupe for Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop in here somewhere too! So I suggest you keep reading ; )
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!
