Becca Mineral Blushes : On Medium Skin Tone :-)

Today I am here with a quick look at all of the Mineral Blushes from Becca Cosmetics! I have all the shades from this line that are available in Sephora and Ulta to show you. I have individual reviews on each of these, I will link them down below. There are 3 additional shades that are only available on Becca website.

If you read through my individual reviews, you will know that I absolutely adore this formula. The shades are to die for and the formula is super fine. It is easy to blend and has incredible staying power. You need a light hand as they are VERY pigmented. These are 32$ for 0.2 oz of product. But I say, the formula and the packaging makes it worth the price point. You can buy these from Sephora, Ulta and Becca Cosmetics. Gypsy, Damselfly and Sweet Pea are 3 additional shades that are only available in Becca website.

If you ask me to choose one to be my #1 it has to be Songbird. Wild Honey and Hyacinth will be close second. I also adore Nightingale and Lantana; they look so pretty on the pan. Flowerchild is the only shade that I feel does not compliment my skin tone that much. 

Here are the shades:

Lantana (Full review here): Very pretty but quite scary-looking reddish orange. I live for blush shades. The formula is so blendable that it makes the color very easy to wear; you just need a little bit of patience and light hand. I don’t wear it often but I love it.

Hyacinth (Full review here): This is one of my very favorite shades from this bunch. It’s a very pretty eye-catching fuchsia, and it immediately brightens up my whole look. I really enjoy this shade.

Nightingale (Full review here): It is a deep mulberry shade. It is a just a bit deeper than what I consider my every-day shade. But I do enjoy wearing this shade with a few particular eye looks.

Flowerchild (Full review here): It is a beautiful pale pink shade with a subtle golden sheen to it. Gorgeous color, but I think it will be better suited for skin tone lighter than me. On my skin tone, it may appear just a bit ashy at times.

Songbird (Full review here):This is my most favorite shade of all these shades. It is quite warm and has a very beautiful peach undertone to it. It also has a very subtle sheen to it. I really adore the shade.

Wild Honey (Full review here): It is a peachy warm nude shade. It does not show up in just one layer on my skin tone. But I love it as an everyday shade, also to layer it other shades!

Hope you enjoyed this quick little review and swatches. Do you own any of these? Do you like them?

BECCA Mineral Blush ::: Review and Swatches of "Lantana" & "Nightingale"!!!

Ulta had this amazing deal back in September when they offered the mineral blushes from Becca Cosmetics at just 16$ :-) The regular price for the blushes are 32$. I just could not resist the temptation and bought “Lantana” as well as “Nightingale”. I am so happy that I now have all mineral blush shades that Becca offers on Sephora and Ulta.

I am already a big fan of this formula so my review today will be short and simple. I am also going to prepare a round-up post sharing swatches of all 6 shades. Stay tuned for that!

Availability: You can buy these from Sephora, Ulta and Becca Cosmetics. Gypsy, Damselfly and Sweet Pea are 3 additional shades that are only available in Becca website.

Price & Product: The full-size blush comes with 0.2 oz. and will cost you $32. That is definitely a pricier blush to consider. But for me it is absolutely worth it! These are very pigmented so you don’t really need a lot of product per use. I have been using Wild Honey and Songbird (reviewed here) for quite some time now and I still don’t see any dent in either! If you are interested in these blushes my advice for you is to keep an eye out for deals in Ulta. Every once in a while, they have some excellent promotional offers!

Packaging: Without doubt, this is one of the coolest looking blush compact. It definitely looks worth 32$. I avoid travelling with these as much as possible. But if I do travel, I always put a cotton pad on top of the powder, in order to minimize any vibration that can cause crack in this very delicate powder. The only issue I have is that the all compacts are exactly similar from outside. I wish they had some kind of color coordination indicator on the compact itself.

Formula: This is one of the best powder blush formula in the market. Very heavily pigmented, but extremely blendable, has a luminous glow which is very unique and quite long wearing. 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! They are so pigmented that I have to be cautious and patient while applying. Especially with these bright shades! 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 pictures, here, I typically put on a heavy layer so it would be easier the pictures can easily show the shade! 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! When I wear these shades, my overall makeup revolves around the blush shades. Not ideal for busy days but I don’t care! Bright, bold colors are my absolute favorite in makeup and I cannot be happier with all these blushes.

Shades: Both Lantana and Nightingale are extremely scary to look at the pan. They are so bright and bold that you automatically assume they are very unwearable. They can be if you are hasty with your application. But don’t worry, just be patient and start with light layers and then build up!

Lantana is described as an ultra poppy crimson on Ulta website and it perfectly describes the shade. Upon application, it does not appear as poppy as on the pan and it actually works for my benefit.

Nightingale is described as a deep mulberry. It is a gorgeous deep every-day shade. There are a few shades I consider my fool proof every day blush color like Clinique Fig Pop (reviewed here), Bobbi Brown Sand Pink (reviewed here) . Nightingale is just a bit deeper. Very lovely shade!

I have medium olive skin tone so I can easily wear these shades. I am almost sure that you also can wear these shades even if you have skin tones much lighter than me. But your skin tone is deeper than these will look so damn beautiful on you :-)! You NEED to try these.  

I love Becca products; almost all the products I have tried has been very good to me? What’s your thought on these blushes?

Love,
