Recently, my YouTube obsession and makeup artist inspiration Miss Jaclyn Hill teamed up with Becca Cosmetics to create her very own highlighter in the shade "Champagne Pop". Today I thought I'd give you all a taste of what it looks like and my thoughts on the product as a whole.
Packaging
The packaging that Jaclyn and Becca came up with for Champagne Pop is absolutely genius. The box is a beautiful shade of champagne gold with a subtle bubble effect. It is labeled in the same style as Becca's other Shimmering Skin Perfectors but with the addition of Jaclyn Hill's signature. The back of the box also has a beautiful picture of Jaclyn and a note of thanks to all of her fans.
The highlighter itself has the same packaging as all of the Shimmering Skin Perfectors by Becca. It's a nice thick plastic material with a metal overlay on the front. I love the compact because it's so sturdy that I don't really worry about it cracking or the product shattering. There is a thin film of plastic when you open up the compact that protects the product. This is once again labeled with Becca and Jaclyn's logos. I kind of wish they had done something to make it a bit more distinguishable from the other highlighters. I find that when I am in a rush and am looking for this highlighter I always seem to grab the wrong one. I actually just stuck a piece of neon duct tape to the back of the compact so that I can find it right away!
Consistency
I LOVE the way this highlighter applies to the skin. It goes on so smooth and stays where you put it. But even so, it's easy to blend out and diffuse if you want it a bit softer. I will say that I feel like there's a lot of fallout from the compact. When I swipe my brush into it, power goes everywhere. I've found it's best to press the brush in and don't swirl it around too much. Then I'll swirl the brush onto the mirror to evenly distribute the product on the brush. That way you don't loose precious product!
Pigmentation and Color Quality
There are so many elements to this highlighter that it makes it so difficult to describe. It has a stunning light peachy-gold base with flashes of pearlescent pink and cream. Lighting makes such a huge difference in the color of this product. Sometimes it looks more peach, pearl, gold, or bronze. That's what I love so much about it. You can totally play up whichever tone you want to see most by wearing a complementary blush, lipstick, or eyeshadow. I have always had a hard time finding highlighters that don't look to glittery when applied. However, with this highlighter I never have to worry about looking like a disco ball. There is the perfect about of sheen to this product that makes you look like you're radiating from within. The best part is that because of the various tones in the highlighter, it truly can be worn on all skin tones and shades. Just check out instagram and you'll see a huge range of people wearing this shade and EVERYONE looks fabulous!
I hope this has been helpful for anyone considering purchasing Champagne Pop! It truly is a work of art and I'm praying that Becca makes this a permanent product instead of limited edition. Champagne pop is exclusive to Sephora and like I said it's limited edition so if you're even considering purchasing, I say GO FOR IT! And go for it soon because who knows how much longer it will be available.
