If you are reading this blog post then chances are high that you love makeup and already know all about Jaclyn Hill and her amazing collab with Becca Cosmetics to create Champagne Pop. But just in case you don't know much about either of those things- Jaclyn Hill is a famous Youtuber beauty guru (you can watch her videos here) and Champagne Pop is a beautiful shimmery powder highlight that looks good on all skin tones. It is exclusively sold by Sephora and was initially limited edition but sold out instantly and then recently became a permanent fixture in the Becca family.

Champagne Pop became so successful that Jaclyn Hill has collaborated with Becca again to create the gloriousness that is called the Champagne Collection Face Palette. She has been hinting at a new product in the works for a while so I made sure to stay on top of any sneaky announcements that she might make through her social media. I have been following her on Snapchat (her username is jaclynrhill) and was watching her celebrate the launch of the Champagne Glow Collection in NYC when all of a sudden she announced that there was a secret presale on the app so her snapchat fam could purchase the palette before the official launch date!!! I immediately told my husband about it and was conflicted about getting it or not because we have been trying to save money for our vacation in August. He told me I should definitely hurry up and get it so I frantically downloaded the app, tried to remember my username and password, added it to my cart, and entered in all of my shipping and billing information. This seemed to take FOREVER and I was sure it was going to be sold out by the time I hit finished but by the grace of God, I was able to get it!

I impatiently waited 3 days for it to come in the mail and my first thought when I took it out of the box was "OH MY GOODNESS, THIS THING IS GORGEOUS!" I definitely don't regret paying the $52 price tag and I'm so glad I didn't hesitate any longer on buying it because the presale sold out in a few hours when it was expected to last 24 hours.

The packaging is very sturdy and high quality. I love the white and gold! I don't think I'll have to be overly cautious when traveling long distance with it but it isn't something I'd keep in my purse. The mirror is a very good size and takes up all of the top lid space.

The official launch date and time for the Champagne Collection Face Palette is tomorrow, May 26th at 12pm Eastern Standard Time on the Sephora website (link here) but I would keep checking a couple hours beforehand just in case.

I didn't know this until almost finishing this post but apparently there are other products in the Champagne Collection launch!!! (I guess the face palette stole all of the attention because I only found out about it from watching her Snapchat story...again.) It will include an eyeshadow palette (link here) and Champagne Pop shimmering skin perfector in a liquid (link here) and poured créme (link here)! The whole collection can be viewed at once with this link here.

I hope this post helps you to make your final decision on if you want it or not! I also hope that you are successful in actually purchasing it if you decide you do want it (Remember- DO NOT HESITATE)! May the odds be ever in your favor!

As a person who is always on the go, I love a good multi-tasking product. My interest is always piqued when a product claims to be able to do more than one thing. So when I was sent Paula Dorf's Perfect Color in the shade Ecstasy to review, I got excited by its 3-in-1 claims to perform as a blush, eye shadow and lip color in one product.

What the brand says:

This versatile multi-tasker performs triple results: for eyes, lips and cheeks. Light and creamy in flattering shades. Convenient and portable for on the go application. The variety of looks is infinite, and the effect is always natural and luminous. Directions: Use Perfect Color to create subtle shimmering accents, dynamic highlights, or dramatic contours. 

Ingredients: 

Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetyl Dimethicone, Diisostearyl Dimer Dilinoleate, Propylene Glycol Laurate, Silica, Beeswax, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Ozokerite, Nylon-12, Microcrystalline Wax, Octyldodecanol, Cetyl Palmitate, Tocopherol, Retinyl Palmitate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Water, Propylparaben, Ascorbyl Palmitate.  May Contain: Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides, Mica, Carmine, Chromium Oxide Greens, Ultramarines.

My thoughts:

The Perfect Color comes with a sleek matte black design in a twist-up tube. The shade Ecstasy is a very pigmented cool-toned shimmery pink. A little goes a long way on my cheeks. I love how this shade makes me look more youthful and glowy. I like to apply it by pressing it onto the apples of my cheeks straight from the tube and blending it out with a blush kabuki brush (like Bellange's Beautiful Blush and Bronzer brush). I love this product for my cheeks but it is very drying on my lips and I don't like wearing pink shades on my eyes. This means it is not a successful 3-in-1 product for me, but I will continue using it as a blush because it's long lasting and wears beautifully. I think this shade could work for most skin tones as long as light skinned girls don't get too heavy handed.
