Recently I've found myself reaching for more and more Becca products, so I thought I'd have to share them with you. Near where I live there's a beauty outlet store, where they sell products for real cheap, they have brands like OPI, Rimmel, Loreal, Elizabeth Arden and loads others. At first I thought they sold products that were going to be discontinued, but they sell current products like Loreal true match and products that are available on the high street now. I did let a squeal when I discovered this shop, it really is a beauty lovers dream! Anyway, this is where I discovered my love for Becca products. I was familiar with the brand but had never tried it before, and I am so glad I did!
I am going to two posts, this one of face products I've tried and one on eye products.
First of is this Becca Illuminate Wash Liquid Highlighter. I am seriously in love with this product. It gives the perfect glow to your skin. I put a few dabs on my cheek bone and blend it in and whatever's left on my finger or brush I put on my cupids bow. And if I want a seriously glow-y look I hit the main areas, like the bridge of the nose, brow bone, inner corners etc. It's not glittery but is shimmery, with pink undertones. It says it's for under the eyes, but I personally don't use it for that. It also has a brush applicator which makes it so easy to use and makes sure you don't over apply.
Pros-
Gorgeous highlight that lasts all day
Easy applicator
Not glittery
Cons-
May not suit all skin types, as it's a pinky undertone
I don't use it for its main purpose, it's designed to be use directly under the eyes.
The next two products are primers, the first is the Line and Pore Corrector primer. I don't have particularly large pores, but I don't like the ones around my nose and when I saw this I just had to try it. (also the fact it was discounted made me want it even more!) It's described as an 'silky oil-free fluid [that] creates a perfecting veil to minimise lines and pores whilst providing a smooth surface for make-up' and I do believe it does. It has a silicone feel and is a clear formula and makes the skin feel so smooth. I don't think it makes your makeup last ages, it does help a bit but not drastically with the longevity. I really have been reaching for it a lot!
Pros-
Smooths the skin
Helps to create a nice base for foundation to glide on
Matte finish
Cons-
It is silicone based (I don't mine that, but not everyone does)
Slight smell to it
I don't personally think it adds to the longevity, I don't have a problem with the longevity of makeup but it doesn't take away from the longevity- does that make sense? Haha
The second primer is the Rejuvenating Primer, it's described as a tightening and hydrating formula. It is designed for more mature skin and has anti ageing properties but it appealed to me as it is designed for dry skin. I have combination skin, but do suffer from dry skin around my nose. It is a white formula and unlike the other primer it is more of a creamy formula. It claims to create a luminous finish unlike the other one p, which creates a more matte finish. I do really like this product and I feel it does do what it claims, it does feel hydrating, and does create a dewy base and does make my makeup last a bit longer, compared to if I wasn't to use a primer.
Pros-
Creamy feel
Dewy finish
Helps with longevity
Cons-
Slight smell
Wow, that was a lengthy post, I really do love these products and I really want to try more from Becca!
Have you tried any Becca products?
