Best of Becca collection: Swatches and Review

Hi everyone!

I recently discovered a Best of Becca collection at ulta.com for $34.50 and I jumped at the opportunity to try some Becca. I did buy the trio of liquid skin perfectors that came out during the holidays.

The kit: 


These are all minis, which I have come to prefer when trying out new products; the usually last a long time and take up less room :)



It comes with: 

1. Shimmering Skin Perfector pressed in Rose Gold
2. Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal
3. Beach Tint in Guava 
4. Beach Tint Shimmer Soufflé in Watermelon/Moonstone 



The Swatches:

The Review: 


Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal: This is a great liquid highlighter. It's easy to use, shows up nicely on my tan skin but is not to overwhelming. 

Shimmering Skin Perfector pressed in Rose Gold: This highlight is not going to hide from anyone. It is a beautiful shimmer and would recommend for most people. I am not sure how it would work on those with light and cool undertones,  but on those with warm and medium, tan, and dark skin, this will look great! 

Beach Tint Shimmer Soufflé in Watermelon/Moonstone: Soufflé is the right word for this baby. The texture is super bouncy and I am so happy they included this color in the kit. It will work on all skin tones. You can apply it lightly but also build nicely. My main concern with the soufflés was if they would even show up on my skin but this one does. It looks natural and brings a nice glow to the cheeks. It lasted all day and while I did not a hot day it is supposed to be waterproof. This will be great for summer! 

Beach Tint in Guava : this is my least favorite item. It is a pretty, light, pink color. It can be used on the cheeks and lips. However, it was WAY too light for my lips. I have pigmented lips and this guy was just not very pigmented at all. Then I tried it on my cheeks and it was once again a light pink. I squeezed some out on to my hand and used a stippling brush to place it on my cheeks. It did show up, even if lightly, and makes a nice everyday color. It lasted well throughout the day but it was sticky to the touch.  It didn't feel sticky though and I actually didn't feel it on my face, unless I touched it. 

Price: I am extremely happy with this kit! It's a great price for 4 products, 2 delux sizes and 2 full sizes. Yes 2 full sizes. The souflé is full size and retails for $27 so is the Beach Tint and retails for $25. Those two alone add up to a $52 value and more than worth the $34.50 for the kit!!!
