Mani Mondays | Cinderella 2015

 
Happy Monday! A week ago, I went to see the new Cinderella movie starring Lily James as Cinderella and Richard Madden as Prince Charming. If you haven't seen the movie, I advise you check it out!
Moving onto the nails, I wanted to do something that somewhat mimicked the colorings of Cinderella, so I used the new China Glaze Ever Glaze in Breath of Fresh Air (I will do a review on this later), and on my accent nail used Julep Zelda.

BECCA Beach Tint Shimmer Soufflé | Watermelon/Moonstone

 Hello everyone! It is now spring 2015, and this year has flown by so fast. Just recently I've gotten into BECCA products and have fallen in love with the BECCA Blotting Powder Perfector and the BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Moonstone. I also got a sample of their Ultimate-Coverage foundation, but I'm still playing with that.

I remember swatching these a couple months ago and not really finding anything great about them. However, recently, Ulta brought out a BECCA "Best of BECCA collection" set for their 21 Days of Beauty (unfortunately no longer available online but you may see it at an Ulta store) that retailed for $34.50 and contained a full-size beach tint shimmer soufflé, deluxe size shimmering skin perfector pressed, a deluxe size shimmering skin perfector, and a full size beach tint. 

The BECCA Beach Tint Shimmer Soufflé is 0.20 ounces and retails for $27, and six shades are currently available. They can be found at Ulta and Sephora.com. Since the whole set I got at Ulta was $34.50 for two full size items and 2 deluxe size items, I went for it. And I'm so glad I did because this shimmer soufflé is SO gorgeous!

These Beach Tint Shimmer Soufflés claim to be water-resistant and oil free, talc free and paraben free. Each pot is a combination of their top-selling beach tint mixed in with a shimmering skin perfector. The one I have, Watermelon/Moonstone mixes Watermelon beach tint and Moonstone shimmering skin perfector for a gorgeous coral red infused with pale gold.

 The formula has an air-whipped gel like, cushiony consistency that provides buildable color with some natural looking radiance. With this, you will have beautiful radiant skin, and not look oily at all. As you can see in the picture above, the colors do eventually blend together, and possibly later down the road, more of the pale gold will incorporate into the coral red color.

I applied it with my e.l.f. Stippling brush and it applied so flawlessly. I absolutely love the finish and how beautiful this coral red with pale gold is on me. I may check out more of them!

Have you tried any products from BECCA?
