Jaclyn Hill & BECCA Cosmetics face PALETTE

JACLYN HILL
BECCA COSMETICS
FACE PALLETT



SO UNFORTUNATELY I AM A UNITED KINGDOM BLOGGER AND IT GOES WITH GREAT SADNESS THAT WE DO NOT HAVE A SEPHORA TO PURCHASE THIS BEAUTIFUL ITEM, LUCKILY FOR ME I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL AMERICA THIS SUMMER AND MANAGED TO VISIT A FEW SEPHORA SHOPS.

NOW IF YOU LOVE MAKE UP AND YOU RELIGIOUSLY WATCH MAKE UP VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE, THERE IS NO DOUBT YOU HAVE COME ACROSS JACLYN HILL. SHE HAS COLLABORATED WITH BECCA COSMETICS IN THE PAST CREATING HER SIGNATURE HIGHLIGHT "CHAMPAGNE POP"

WITH THE HUGE SUCCESS THAT CHAMPAGNE POP WAS, SHE INSISTED ON PLEASING HER FANS BRINGING OUT VARIOUS PRODUCTS CONTAINING THE SIGNATURE HIGHLIGHT, HOWEVER THE BEST WAS YET TO COME... AND IT DID AND IM NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE IT INITIALLY RELEASED BUT I KNOW IT SOLD OUT WITHIN 24 HOURS. TO MY LUCK WHILST I WAS OVER IN AMERICA THERE WAS A RESTOCK 16TH JUNE, HERE COMES THE MOST WONDERFUL

Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Face Palette





THIS PALETTE CONSISTS OF 4 HIGHLIGHTS AND ONE MATTE BLUSH.

THE VALUE OF THE PRODUCT IS $136 BUT IS BEING SOLD FOR $52. UNFORTUNATELY IT IS SOLD OUT ONLINE AND IT IS ONLY AVAILABLE ON SEPHORA AND IN SEPHORA STORES. MOST SEPHORA STORES STILL HAVE A GOOD STOCK LEFT BUT I KNOW ONCE THIS PRODUCT IS SOLD OUT, IT WILL NOT BE RE PRODUCED FOR FUTURE SALE... SO ONCE ITS GONE ITS GONE. PLEASE CLICK ON THE BLUE TITLE LINK AND THIS WILL TAKE YOU DIRECTLY TO THE SEPHORA WEBSITE FOR FURTHER INFO.

MY PERSONAL OPINION ABOUT THIS PRODUCT IS...... IT IS PHENOMENAL. THERE ARE SO MANY VARIATIONS AND COLOURS TO SUIT ALL SKIN TONES AND THE BLUSH AND FORMULA OF EACH HIGHLIGHT IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE, I BELIEVE SWATCHES CAN BE FOUND ON GOOGLE AS MY CAMERA DOES NOT PICK UP THE BEST OF THE HIGHLIGHT.

SO IF YOU LIVE IN THE USA OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO CAN GET THEIR HANDS ON THIS FOR YOU...GET IT!! YOU WILL NOT REGRET THIS PURCHASE,

Urban Decay just keep killing it for me, this foundation is absolutely beautiful. I am the shade 2.0 when i have no tan on and when i am tanned i am 3.5. These shades are perfect and i would definitely say there is a perfect range for everyone.

The foundation costs £27 and you can find the link in the title above if you just click on it.

The best thing about this foundation is the fact it is so light weight yet can give you so much coverage. Its beautiful, elegant and soft. I would really recommend this to anyone who is looking for a change in brand.

Urban Decay are smashing the make up industry!

PRODUCT MUST HAVE


Talika Photo Hydra Day 50ml


This product is a MUST HAVE




I cannot actually begin to tell you how amazing this product is. I received a deluxe sample size in my Glossy Box (www.glossybox.com).

I use this EVERYDAY before applying my makeup, it has got to be the most hydrating cream/gel. It is not a primer, however i do find my make up does last all the same just with this on my skin.


Its an absolute revolution and you would never go back to anything else. A small amount can go along way too :) 

I absolutely LOVE it.

Skin Care Routine


Everyone is different and everyone's skin types are different so knowing what products to use that will suit you best my be a complete nightmare to find.

I find that www.boots.com is fantastic when it comes to finding something you need for your skin. Another great place for skincare i find is www.lush.co.uk They also have some fantastic products.

I know this may sound crazy but if you want your skin to look THE BEST it will need to be cleaned EVERYDAY. It can be tiring and exhausting and you might think... but that dries my skin out. The reason for the dryness is because you are not using the correct moisture to put back into the skin.

My skin type is combo skin. I can get extremely oily when yano... aunt flow visits but then when winter comes my skin starts to feel like sandpaper. So this is what i use to get my skin feeling its best and make up ready.

Firstly I will splash my face with WARM water... this allows your pores to open up.

Secondly i use :
Laura Mercier Facial Polish


Now that is quite a pricey facial scrub but i have found cheaper alternatives such as Soap and Glory's facial Scrub. 


The difference between these two are texture and of course price however both do pretty much the same thing.

Once you have exfoliated your face its time to CLOSE THOSE PORES, what you need to do is rinse off what is on your face then splash your face with COLD water, that will allow your pores to close and help not let in dirt. 

Thirdly - Cleanse, what cleanser you use is entirely up to you but again please click my link for the boots website and you will find what you are looking for there. I use 

                                                                
This is a very affordable option too. Cleansing allows the face to soak up lost moisture from exfoliation. Whilst cleansing you may notice your skin becomes red or sore this is due to unbalancing of your PH levels in this skin so what you will need for this is our last step.

Lastly - TONE, Toning is going to be your most important part, what this does, it allows your skin to restore its PH balance that you lost from the previous steps. Again choice of toner is up to you, however i do use:

                                                      

I hope you have found this post useful as i know a lot of people can be confused as to why skincare is important. Your skin goes through so many changes and its all about restoring what is lost. You can finish these steps by using a deep moisturizer, night creams, eye creams and just simple creams, however that is just up to you but these are the basic steps.
