While BECCA is known for being the queen of neutrals they also have been to known to have promo pics that vary to the released product. Valentina is part of the Balearic love collection. Beccas&...
In the past when asked where to buy BECCA I suggested an online retailer, Dermstore. I would most often suggested Dermstore for their outstanding customer service. Sadly, I will no longer sugges...
Some may know I live in the Houston area. Summer is right around the corner for us (yes,we tend to skip Spring here and jump right into HOT-HUMID summers) so having makeup that wont stream down your ...
Yes,I have been AWOL/MIA for a long time. Like a squirrel on Red Bull I have a short attention span for makeup. Lately Chantecaille and Laura Mercier have gotten more love and attention&nbs...
I love fall makeup! This year BECCA gets a gold star for the palette this year. "Lost Weekend" is a neutral lovers dream come true. I confess I didnt love the palette released last fall, "...
Part 2 of comparison swatches. Please note the powder shades are heavily swatched. Newcomer, Wild Honey is closest in shade to Athena. But the the shimmer in the PSP would look odd if worn...
Part 1 As requested Ive done swatches of similar shades within the BECCA color family. And learned a lesson about swatching, its NOT safe (or wise) to swatch outside in the shade at 10:15 AM during a...
Yes, Ive MIA for awhile,I hope seeing some BECCAs newest fall products will get me out of hot water. I know the editing on the pics looks a bit off, Photobucket and I did not see eye to eye tod...
Its July in Houston and Ive tanned so I thought I needed a darker LSC than the nude shade. Olive is the next LSC shade,which they label as neutral shade. It seems a bit warm to me to be a true neutra...
Yes, I know..been awhile since I updated the site. Maybe this lovely eye tint swatch will get me out of the proverbial dog house? Gilt is lovely warm bronzey (I know its not a proper word..but it sho...
After spending the last eight months of buying one brand ONLY, I realized I have some rants and raves for BECCAs packaging. Raves:Overall I love the UFO-like packages; for the most part they are...
The whole reason I started this blog was to help others find swathes,so I was very happy to see a swatch request. This one is for you Nina. Hope it helps.
Palette,yep one little old BECCA palette started my whole BECCA madness. Ever since I obtained my first BECCA product I have been in pursuit to collect them all which brings us to the Sat...
As some may have noted I live in hot, HUMID Houston-which often times means smudgy mascara. OK, I would like to think it runs from humidity but lets be honest, sweat is a factor. So I was excited to ...
Yes,Im doing two blog posts for one day. Come on, did you really think I would hold out on you and NOT share the new BECCA beauties? Those that know me often refer to me as a hippie (Looking at...
Happy Dance! BECCAs new spring/summer items arrived today! Up first is the newest Beach Tint,Guava. It applies as pink with merest hint of peach.
When you look at Nymph Pressed Shimmer Powder (PSP) in the pan it appears to be a cool soft shade of pink. But when swatched it is in fact a cool white almost silver shade. This PSP will work b...
In my makeup search I was lead to the BECCA brand through MakeupAlley (MUA); it is often spoken of in glowing terms and how natural it looks. In turn I have posted on MUA about my love of the BECCA l...
Happy Easter! I hope the Easter Bunny was good to you.
OK, I admit it,Im not the biggest fan of the nude lip trend. Seems like nature tells us we look alive and healthy with some color on our lips. Lailia Sheer Lip tint is in an orange base,but somehow w...
To continue with color family swatches we have the peach family today,just in time for summer. Apricot Beach Tint was included even though it a bit more orange than peach. Nectar Lip and Cheek Cream ...
Currently BECCA has 10 sheer lip shades on their site,I bought seven of the shades that I deemed most easy to wear. Its doubtful I will add the missing three..they are nudes and I like color! a coupl...
BECCAs staple look seems to impart the glowy beachy look (makes sense since they did launch in Australia).Mermaid is an unique and complex loose shimmer powder. At first glance it looks like a ...
As I do more swatch comparisons Im surprised to see how close in color many of items are! Yes, they have different finishes but many are so close in hue. Like Petal and Grapefruit, they look enough a...
Gisella is a warm sheer rose.
As I (dare I say it?) age I realize that when it comes makeup less is better. One drop of this product used on cheek bones gives them an instantly lifted appearance. This product helps mimic the radi...
Hey,I have been asked by a follower to do some pics of the similar shades within the BECCA blush line. This was a great idea, it shows the different finishes to the makeup as well the different hues....
Up today we have one of BECCAs stick foundation shades. Tahini is a fair to medium shade in a slightly yellow base,but blends in a very wearable neutral. This is a full to medium coverage. I use it o...
I really like the idea of mineral makeup(MMU), but generally shy away from them since Im not a fan of loose, messy makeup. Luckily this one is pressed, making it fast and easy to use and a good ...
This is BECCAs answer to Spring makeup and its light and lovely. I must say (while staring sternly at BECCA) that I am somewhat disappointed in two of the shades (the lip gloss and creme blush)...
