Becca X Chrissy Teigen Glow Face Palette

Swatches: Rose Gold, Hibiscus Bloom, Malibu Soleil, Beach Nectar

I actually purchased the Becca X Chrissy Teigen Glow Face Palette back in May when it was first released. I’ve had it on my desk ever since. I usually leave the things I have to blog about piled up on top of my desk so it’s gotten a lot of action. I usually walk over to my toolbox to look for face products, but since this palette has been within reach I haven’t bothered to use anything else. Which isn’t a bad thing. A bit lazy maybe.

I don’t know much about Chrissy Teigen so I can’t say that I’m a fan. But I thought the palette was very pretty and I was really digging the shades. It includes a blush in the shade Hibiscus Bloom which is a golden pink coral, a bronzer in the shade Malibu Soleil which is a medium amber, a highlighter in the shade Rose Gold which is a subtle gold with rose, and another highlighter in the shade Beach Nectar which is a juicy apricot with gold.

The shades are all very nicely pigmented. They all applied and blended beautifully. It’s a really beautiful palette that offers a more natural glow. The shades really do compliment each other nicely. Even the bronzer. Although there have been times I was in a rush and opted just for the blush and highlighter and still ended up with a really beautiful look.

You can see this palette in action below. I’m wearing Rose Gold on the inner corner of my eyes and Beach Nectar on my cheeks, cupid’s bow, and nose.

Did you end up getting the Becca X Chrissy Teigen Glow Face Palette? What are your thoughts?

Purchased By Me

Swatches: Rose Spritz, Amaretto, Pamplemousse, Champagne Pop, Prosecco Pop

Last year I resisted the urge to splurge on the Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop. I really wanted it, but I was hoping to pick it up in person. My local Sephora didn’t even carry Becca products back then. I was hoping to see it in person when I went to New Jersey, but of course they were sold out. I had every chance to order online, but held back. And boy am I glad I did because this collection is so much nicer!

The packaging is super pretty! It’s not the easiest product to photograph because it’s so shiny and the inside is all mirror. I’m actually pretty bummed about it though because it’s easily one of the prettiest items I’ve purchased in a while. I really wanted that to shine through in my photos. I tried?

The Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Face Palette contains 3 blushes in Rose Spritz, Amaretto and Pamplemousse and 2 highlighters in Champagne Pop and Prosecco Pop. They’re all very pigmented. In fact the first shade I used was Pamplemousse and I had to use a very light hand. It’s almost too easy to get carried away with this beauty. I usually really pack on the color so that it shows up in my photos, but with this shade I was afraid of going overboard. I may have repeatedly whispered ‘Please don’t make me look like a clown…’ while applying it hah! But all jokes aside it did apply and blend beautifully.

I’ll definitely post more looks of me using this gorgeous palette later on. But in the meantime you can see Pamplemousse and Champagne Pop in action below.
