Brand In The Spotlight: BECCA COSMETICS

22nd February 2018

becca cosmetics

 

* Cult Beauty currently have 20% off all BECCA cosmetics products including free worldwide delivery until 23/02/18  SHOP HERE *

Becca cosmetics has been one of my favourite brands for a while now, everything I have tried I have really liked. I’ve selected  a few products out of my ever growing  collection to talk about, as well as a few new products I have been testing out lately.

Becca are known for their gorgeous products that give you that lit from within glowing skin, that looks natural and radiant and gives you a serious glowing complexion. With ingredients that are also good for your skin. I think Becca are more well-known for their highlighters  especially their collab with Jaclyn Hill and the famous champagne pop, although I was a big lover of them before that.

I have tried their primers, foundations, blush, highlighters, and eyeshadows and now some of their new products which include the eye primer and setting powder.

Primers

Backlight Priming Filter – Probably one of my favourite ever primers, I have gone through about 4 bottles of this and always repurchase. If you have dry skin and love glowy primers that make the skin look radiant without being too dewy looking, then this one is for you, it leaves a gorgeous shimmer to the skin.  This definitely gives a glow from within look and a soft airbrushed finish.

First Light Priming Filter –  This lavender toned primer is a brightening primer and makes the skin look more fresh and awake.  This is also another radiant primer and is quite similar to the backlight although they claim to target different things. I love how this one smells, its like sweets!

Velvet Blurring Primer Perfecting Base – One of their newest primers is this one, It claims to be for all skin types although I find this one a little drying for me, it feels lovely when you first put it on but it dries down quite quickly and has a velvet finish, I definitely think this one will be nice for oily skin types. It blurs pores, fine lines and imperfections.

As I said before Becca are definitely well-known for their highlighters, they have so many formulas including cream, liquid and powder to name a few. I think I nearly have all the shades apart from the really dark ones. I personally love moonstone and pearl as they’re perfect for my fair skin although this new vanilla quartz might be my new favourite.

Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter Vanilla Quartz – A stunning creamy powder highlighter, which is one of their newest shades, it’s a gorgeous light white gold highlighter infused with pink pearl reflects. It’s so pretty and I really love it, I think it’s definitely more wearable than pearl which is more of a bright white pearlescent and is a tiny bit lighter than moonstone which is my favourite from Becca. Although I love opal and champagne pop I just find them a tad dark for my skin tone.

I also love the Shimmering Skin Perfector Liquid Highlighters these are great for mixing into your skin care, moisturisers and foundations, it just adds a little bit more glow which sometimes I love, especially in the summer time, I’m all about that glow!!

Now on to the products I have been trying out, which includes a couple of their newest under eye products. I love a bright radiant under eye as I can’t get away with anything too drying due to my dry skin, so I like going for products that are brightening.

Anti-Fatigue Under Eye Primer –  This is basically a pre concealer primer, although you can definitely put this on before you put any foundation on. I have been testing it both ways and it works. I know people can be a bit funny with using primers once you have done your base makeup, but this is really nice to apply and isn’t thick in texture or hard to blend. It is packed with amazing ingredients that expel toxins and diminish inflammation while creating a smooth base for concealer application. It contains cucumber, caffeine, and matcha green tea. We all know how good these ingredients are for the skin and especially the under eyes.

I like to warm it up in my fingers before applying as it almost feels like a balm, and pat it under the eyes. It does feel quite cooling which I suspect is the cucumber ingredient. I really do feel like this made my eyes look more awake and fresh looking.

Under Eye Brightening Corrector – I Have been using this for over a year now and have a few travel sizes that I’m currently using up first before I use this one, but this is one of my must have products for my under eyes, it definitely brightens!! Its pink toned which I know won’t be for everyone although I do believe they have new shades out now. But the pink tone helps neutralise the blue hue of dark circles. It is so creamy and blends into the skin so easily, it isn’t thick either so it doesn’t just lay on top of the skin, it really soaks in which is a must as who likes a thick cakey looking under eye.  I definitely think it brightens and leaves the under eyes looking more radiant, I know so many girls who also love this as well.

Under Eye Brightening Setting Powder – Another new product is this brightening setting powder. I am always on the hunt for brightening powders as I can’t use anything matte or drying like others can, I especially can’t bake either that everyone loves to do now days.  This powder feels so silky and soft, really lightweight and finely milled. when you use it you can see it contains some sort of pearl shimmer which I personally love. But don’t worry when its blended into the skin it’s not glittery or anything or noticeable.  This can even be used throughout the day to top up, set and refresh the skin. Because this is only an under eye powder it’s not the same as a normal setting powder but you still get 2.7g of product.

I don’t have the worst under eyes or suffer badly with dark circles etc so In a way I can’t say how it would help someone else who does but I personally love this 3 step under eye routine. I love that the primer feels really cooling and makes me feel and look a bit more awake and I actually feel like it’s a nice primer and base for my concealer, I already loved the corrector and how brightening it made my under eyes look. and  I love the fact the power isn’t drying or makes me look cakey and flat like some powders can. whatever your skin type or age I think this will suit a lot of people especially if you suffer with dry under eyes, fine lines and wrinkles.

After

 

 

I think Becca cater for all ages and skin type whether you have young or mature skin or oily or dry and like I said before I love that the ingredients have benefits for the skin and are good for you. I think if you had to start somewhere with Becca I would definitely recommend purchasing the base  products first like the primers, foundations and then the highlighters. I know it can be overwhelming trying out a new brand and what to start with. But if you’re a lover of Becca like me you will know what products to try and what works best for you. I am so pleased we can purchase it more easily in the UK now as a few years ago it was so difficult, I used to have to stock up when I went to America.

A few other products I will mention that I love is the Ombre rouge eye palette, mineral blushes especially wild honey and song bird ,and the aqua luminous foundation. I also love all the mini sets they do, its  great way of testing out the products. Next on my list that I have got my eye on is the bronzers as they look amazing!!

I really hope Becca decide to bring out an illuminating setting spray or primer spray in the future. I’ve got my fingers crossed as I bet it would be the best spray ever!!

My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmati My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmatian print wrapping paper 😭 this could have been my present alone and I would have been thrilled! Love how it goes with my Dalmatian baubles 🤩 he knows me so well 🎁 🖤and it’s completely recyclable 👌🏼♻️
Just the presents to put under the tree, the annua Just the presents to put under the tree, the annual Christmas Eve clean up, set up the Christmas Day table and get myself sorted and pampered and we are all ready!! Can’t wait to just chill for a few days as Christmas always goes so quick doesn’t it. I Hope you all have a lovely Christmas whatever it is you will be doing 🎄 🎅🏻🤶🏻 🎁 🍾🥂 here’s some pictures of my tree with the lights on, it’s weird as these lights I got from the range look different each time I turn them on 🙈 I think I prefer my old ones from last year to be honest👀
I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads fo I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads for a while now as we wanted something new for the new additions we have. I got Elliott’s old ones from America and I just hadn’t seen anything I really loved until I came across @popandtedthreads and I fell in love with their whole range, especially the made to order personalised ones where you can pick your own fabric, trim and hardware colours.  Of course I just had to have this monochrome Dalmatian print fabric😍🤩 I can’t believe they’re completely hand made, I’m so impressed with the quality and finish.  You can tell a lot of hard work and love goes into these so thank you @popandtedthreads my little pups are going to love their new stuff for Christmas and will look so cute!! Thought I would share incase anyone else was looking for really unique dog accessories 🖤
I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath this year and add some bits to it but I just haven’t had the time, not even put up half of my Christmas decorations that I wanted to. 😭 So I just added some more snow and glitter to this and have made do 🙈 honesty where has this year and month gone...it’s flown by and I’m not ready for Christmas in the slightest, got to finish my shopping tomorrow and wrap everything, do the food shop and have a good clean up in the house! Oh take me back to being a kid and being excited for Christmas ha ha! 🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄
Another job ticked off the list and one step close Another job ticked off the list and one step closer to finally finishing everything in the kitchen yay. 😊 I really wanted an antique mirror cooker splash back, it’s the reason I didn’t go for tiles in here and went for up-stands instead as I didn’t want it looking OTT and I definitely think less is more in the kitchen. This white antique glass was specially made and took about 6-8 weeks but I love it. 🤩You can really see the antique detailing up close (swipe for pic) although we have had some slight issues with the measurements on the boxing in area around the island which we also wanted in glass. A little disappointing, so that’s got to be sorted out but I’m hoping it will be done before Christmas 🤞🏻
I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feel I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feels so cosy 🎄✨I’m surprised I’ve got any chocolates and sweets left on my tables though, because my niece keeps trying to eat them all when she comes over 😂
Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pret Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pretty much showed it on my Instagram stories🙊swipe for lots more up close pics....it’s a bit of a weird one this year, as I’m not feeling Christmassy in the slightest yet, this tree and all the decorations were supposed to be for the new kitchen but that plan has gone out the window thanks to the two new puppies that have taken over my kitchen. So I’ve used all these bits for the living room instead. Sorry for my lack of posts,  I’ve got a hell of a lot going on and I’m still not 100% myself. Details below •Christmas tree 🎄 -  is the snowy alpine 6ft from @christmastreeworld and I am obsessed! It’s so gorgeous and full looking! •All the flowers and sprays - from @tonyalmondonline ( my best find this year for amazing affordable decorations) •other decorations from @therangeuk and my local garden centres @longacresbagshot & @oaktreegardencentre •made the Dalmatian baubles myself it was so easy •stocking holders @homesense_ukie and the fluffy stockings are from @ebay_uk
Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about this when I posted it on my stories over the weekend🙈 I literally just wanted something to store all my hair styling tools so they didn’t look all messy and tangled. I ended up on eBay and found and ordered these wall mounted holders...I didn’t even know they did special dyson hairdryer holders but I had to have one! I sprayed mine gold (obviously) because I didn’t want them black or silver and attached them to the side of my Ikea Alex unit and I’m so pleased with how it looks ☺️ These GHDs are also yearsssss old but some how still work perfectly and I can’t part with them because they’re a gorgeous gold! 😭
Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve always wanted a proper dressing area, somewhere I can get ready and have all my clothes and accessories to hand. Before I was going in 2/3 rooms just to find bits, as I had it all scattered around 🙈 So pleased I went with the ikea corner pax wardrobe and got very excited over the pull out tray for my jewellery and accessories. (It’s the little things)...I don’t need no fancy pretty hammonds wardrobe....Ikea will do me nicely 😂 My bags won’t be staying like this either as I need to get another shelf next time I go to Ikea. I originally thought I needed more rail space but turns out I don’t, I think I just liked the idea of these pull out rails 🤨
I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you watch my stories you would have seen) So I now have the bigger spare bedroom for my beauty and dressing area yay! And I’m so pleased with it. 😍 I’ve got so much more room now and I had a good sort out and declutter while I was at it, and no more buying makeup I don’t need✋🏻 the Dalmatian spots won’t be going back on the wall but I’ve got use for them somewhere else 👀 I love Dalmatian print but I thought with my new Dalmatian rug it was a little over kill 😂
Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next fo Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next for the living room...didn’t like how they looked in here for some reason, as preferred my other ones🙈 so these are now on the sofa in John’s gaming room 😂 I’m wondering if he will notice that my dalmatian print obsession will slowly be taking over in that room too 👀🙊
I love me some gold and spotty print office statio I love me some gold and spotty print office stationery!! America have the best stuff, which I’m sorry to say is where most of this is from but I often see gorgeous bits in tkmaxx and Homesense. Now my desk is all clean and tidy I must get back to actually blogging and doing some work 👀✍🏻👩🏼‍💻
Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pamp Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pampas before. 😍 Absolutely love @foxglove.studio / @foxglove.studiothekiosk for their amazing selection of dried flowers and the service is always brilliant. These are like a grey/ silver tone and are absolutely beautiful and so fluffy. I’m hoping their  website is up and running soon so I can browse and buy lots more 👀🤞🏻plus so many people keep asking me where all my dried flowers are from 🌾🌾
So happy I got these over the sofa side tables. I’ve had my eye on these for a while now and found them in my local tk maxx and they weren’t damaged for a change so I had to get them. They make the perfect side tables when you don’t have much room. 🖤
