I adore Champagne Pop. The BECCA x Jaclyn Hill highlighter collaboration is one of the absolute best quality highlighters I have ever experienced. When Jaclyn designed this shade with BECCA you can tell it wasn’t just about cashing in on a big brand endorsement. You can tell she really wanted to create something she could be proud of, and that would bring something extraordinary to the beauty market, and boy did she ever! I love Champagne Pop so much that I bought the full sized version as well as four of the Champagne Glow palettes. One for myself, one for my pro kit, one as a gift, and one for a giveaway. When I heard they were expanding on the BECCA x Jaclyn Hill collaboration I was beyond excited. As soon as Jaclyn announced on Snapchat they were releasing a limited number of the BECCA x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Face Palette ($52 US/$59 CAD) I jumped on it so fast you would have thought my ass was on fire!
It was in the evening when I ordered and Sephora managed to get the palette shipped the next day and here it is in my hands in Canada 3 days later. I didn’t upgrade my shipping at all so nicely done Sephora!
The packaging on this palette is stunning. The compact itself is gold with a lid inlaid in white with gold and silver accents. This is one of the most beautiful and glamourous looking palettes I have ever seen. It is sleek, slim, and sexy.
This limited edition palette contains three shades of blush and two highlighters including the iconic Champagne Pop. With the exception of Champagne Pop, all of the shades are brand new and designed by Jaclyn herself. There are two Shimmering Skin Perfector highlighters (Champagne Pop and the new Prosecco Pop), two matte Mineral Blushes (Amaretto and Pamplemousse), and a Luminous Blush called Rosé Spritz for a pop of shimmering color. The shades are absolute perfection and the best part is they can me mixed and blended together, (just like the Champagne Glow palette), to create even more gorgeous hues.
The shades are quite universally flattering but are warm toned. I find them to be GORGEOUS! I think these also look stunning on the eyes. I can only see this not working for you if you are either extremely cool toned or very averse to strong glow. I do wish the palette included a cooler toned blush as well as a cooler toned highlight in place of Prosecco Pop. I do love that it is a very neutral gold shade though and not overtly yellow.
- Rosé Spritz – Soft peachy pink with pale gold shimmer (Luminous Blush)
- Amaretto – Matte toasted almond (Mineral Blush)
- Pamplemousse – Matte warm coral pink (Mineral Blush)
- Champagne Pop – Soft white gold with pinky peach undertones (Shimmering Skin Perfector)
- Prosecco Pop – Medium warm gold (Shimmering Skin Perfector)
The beauty of this palette is the ability to blend the shades together to customize your own custom shades. Here are just a few options. I haven’t shown the highlighters layered with the blushes which creates even more beautiful combinations.
There will also be a limited edition BECCA x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Eyeshadow Palette ($40 US/$48 CAD) released as part of the collection and you can guarantee I’ll be picking that baby up. There are so many beauty products crossing my desk everyday that it really isn’t very often I am infatuated with something enough to run out and purchase it but when BECCA and Jaclyn Hill collaborate I know it is going to be exceptional and there is no way I am passing it up. No way! The shades in the eyeshadow palette are meant to carry you from day to night and be universally flattering on a variety of skin tones:
- Chardonnay – Sheer gold with flashes of pink and soft yellow
- Champagne Toast – Reflective peach with a dash of cinnamon
- Cordial – Matte rose with warm undertones
- Cognac – Flattering matte coffee
- Bordeaux – Rich matte wine with chocolate undertones
I think this is a stunning palette and I am in love with it. IN LOVE. I can’t wait to get my hands on the eyeshadow palette.
The collection will launch online at Sephora on May 26th, 2016 and in stores June 16th, 2016.
