Becca
Cosmetics is a prestige cosmetics brand originally founded by Rebecca
Morris-Williams in Australia. They have been around for some time but they have
been gaining insane popularity among makeup lovers in recent years. I have only
tried their cheek products; all different blush formulas as well as most of
their cheek highlighter formulas! And pick any one of these, you will fall in
love!
I
have been using “Wild Honey” and “Song Bird” mineral blushes for a while and I will
someday share a blogpost on them! :-) But
today, I am going to review one of their NEW
and permanent mineral blush
shades in “Hyacinth”! Previously mineral
blush shades were mostly light and better fitted for fair up to medium skin
tones! I am so glad that Becca added these 3 new vibrant shades - Lantana
(crimson), Nightingale (mulberry) and Hyacinth. These do look a little darker for
my skin tone but who cares! ;-) ;-)
I am very happy about these additions because bright and colorful things make
me super happy!
This
is an expensive blush and Becca overall is a pricy brand! For 0.2 oz. of product the retail price is $32. I had a 20% off coupon from Ulta
and they had a promotional event of a FREE full-size “Beach Tint” gift with
purchase with 30$ Becca product; how awesome is that! If you have read one of my
latest blogposts on “Champagne
Pop” you know how much I love the design of these Becca compacts! It looks
so elegant and worth the price! Becca is available in Sephora,
Ulta
as well as in Becca
website.
So
“Hyacinth” is a bright
poppy pink shade (Hyacinth is a
flower, native to East Mediterranean btw)! So very beautiful and at the same
time very scary to look at in the pan! Like all Becca product, this is extremely pigmented. Texture wise these
are powder blushes and the formula
is very smooth and velvety to touch and when applied, it gives a beautiful
healthy satin-y look to your cheeks. As a dry skin girl, I love this formula!
But because they are so pigmented I have
to be cautious and patient while applying. I like to use a light fluffy
blush brush, just very slightly touch the blush, swirl at the back of my hand
and then apply. If needed I will go back and use another one or two layers!
Like I already stated, these are UTTERLY pigmented, so you can get the color with
just one application but with this strong pigmentation it is safer to slowly
and patiently build up the color you want! In the picture here, I put on a
heavy layer so it would be easier on the picture! It does blend beautifully and has a very long lasting staying
power; when I wash my face at night I can still see some color
on! This is definitely not something that I gravitate towards during my busy
days. But if I want my makeup to last ALL day, I use this. And Fall weather
being upon us, this is a perfect shade to wear.
My
only complaint is that the powder is very prone to crack :-) The formula is so incredibly velvety and light that a little
bit of shake or jerk may shatter and crack it up; I will never have the courage
to bring this with me when I am travelling! But I am personally going to ignore
this negative point because the same crack prone formula and texture is what
makes this product one of a kind. I understand that shades this bright and deeply
pigmented may not be particularly enjoyable for everyone! But I totally love
the performance! Overall with my 20% off and a great gift with purchase I am
very happy with the purchase.
Becca
has been getting a lot of love from me recently. I have been enjoying their beach
shimmer souffle, the new limited edition highlighters in “Blushed
Copper” and “Champagne
Pop” (Reviews are linked if you are interested :-)) ! I don’t think this love is going to die down soon! If you
have similar skin tone like mine or deeper you should definitely check these
new shades! I very highly recommend all of their cheek products!
Happy
weekend, everyone!
Love,
