Champagne Glow

Youtuber and Beauty Blogger, Jaclyn Hill has done it again! Partnering with BECCA Cosmetics, she has extended her Champagne Pop "family." The collection has launched in Sephora stores as of today and has already sold out! -- No surprise. But don't worry, it will be back in stock and officially in Sephora Stores June 16th.

This collection includes: Champagne Collection Face Palette, Champagne Collection Eyeshadow Palette, Shimmering Skin Perfector in Champagne Pop (liquid), Shimmering Skin Perfector in Champagne Pop Poured Crème, and Shimmering Skin Perfector in Champagne Pop Pressed. 

Jaclyn explained she does not come out with just anything and is very picky when it comes to the quality and colors in what she creates. She is not afraid to say "No" if she truly doesn't agree with the product until its perfect, in her opinion at least. She was one of the first MUA I looked up to since the beginning of my passion in the beauty industry. She's genuine, honest, and not to mention a beautiful person inside and out, so of course I had to go ahead and talk about this product. 

I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Champagne Collection Face Palette from the limited release sold during her #ChampagneGlow launch party. I'm excited to share with you swatches, packaging and thoughts about the palette. 

The packaging is so luxurious looking and so are the pigments! 

When you first open the Champagne Collection Face Palette you will notice 5 different pigments. 

The top right two are Mineral Blushes, top left is a Luminous Blush, and the bottom two pans are Shimmering Skin Perfector Highlighters. Becca Cosmetics is definitely known for the amazing formulations of their highlighters and these two are nothing less than amazing as well! They're so versatile and look great on all skins tones -- That's a plus! These pigments look amazing on their own or one on top of the other. There are so many combinations you could play with. 

*Becca's full size Shimmering Skin Perfector Highlighters usually retail for $38, so to get these 5 different pigments in this face palette for $52 is awesome! The huge mirror is a big plus too and I will be getting a lot of use out of it considering a lot of products released don't usually offer a full sized mirror.   

When looking at the palette listing from the top left to right:

• Luminous Blush in Rosé Spritz
• Mineral Blush in Amaretto
• Mineral Blush in Pamplemousse

The bottom two from left to right:

• Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Champagne Pop
• Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Prosecco Pop

I tried to get swatches of each in natural light (but it's been a bit cloudy lately.)

From Left to right:

Prosecco Pop, Champagne Pop, Pamplemousse, Amaretto, and Rosé Spritz.

A few fun tips I've learned from Jaclyn Hill about this Palette:

• You can use Amaretto as an eyeshadow shade. I like it as a transition color. You can really use any on the eyelid if you wanted to be extra crazy. 
• Try Rosé Spritz with a "pop" of Champagne Pop over it on the apples of your cheeks 
• Try Champagne Pop and Prosecco Pop on top of each other for a custom highlight color
• Also you can try any of the Mineral blushes under one of the Highlighters for a custom look

Here are some animated swatches. You can kind of see the difference:

*Hopefully you can now get an idea of how pigmented these highlighters are and how you can mix the  colors over one another.

Here is to give you a more in depth description of the colors in the palette according to Sephora's website, because let's be real they always describe it perfectly!

• Champagne Pop: soft white gold with pinky peach undertones
• Prosecco Pop: medium warm gold AKA Liquid gold
• Amaretto: matte toasted almond
• Pamplemousse: matte warm coral pink
• Rosé Spritz: soft peachy pink with pale gold shimmer

Products I'm loving

In the fall and winter the lip color always ties in a simple outfit. It can change any look going from day to night. My personal go to colors are nudes, berries, and reds. These are some products I catch myself reaching for lately. 











The pigmentation and buttery feel of these lip and eye products are amazing! These are definitely some of my favorite products this season!  Too Faced Melted Lipstick - Melted Berry M.A.C. (frost) Lipstick - Viva Glam Rihanna M.A.C. (Retro Matte) Lipstick - Ruby Woo M.A.C. (Satin) Lipstick - Brave M.A.C. Lip Pencil - Dervish Gucci Eye Pencil 010 - Iconic Black M.A.C. Pro Longwear Concealer - NC15 M.A.C. Fix+ - Skin Refresher/Finishing Mist

Lush favorites for the Holidays

This year I have been exposed to many new exciting things! Lush fresh handmade cosmetics was definitely at the top of the list. The best part is Lush is all natural and fights against animal cruelty. I'm happy to share some of my holiday Lush favorites and staples in my bath and body care products. 

Mask of Magnaminty

You can use this minty mask on your face or all over the body. It pulls out all the bacteria in the skin and also has honey mixed in to hydrate the skin. It comes in a self preserving version too!

Hot Toddy Shower Gel

This cinnamon shower gel is great for around the holidays! It has just a little bit of sparkle in it. Don't worry though, it's not the annoying sparkles that you can never seem to get rid of, but a very fine shimmer to give you that amazing glow we all love!

New Charity Pot

Not only is this one of the most moisturizing lotions I've ever come across, but this little slice of heaven also gives back! 100% of the profit goes to it's grassroots charity to help preserve the environment for animals.

Celebrate Hand and Body Lotion

This lotion was something I instantly fell in love with as soon as I opened it! It smells like citrus, but not overbearing. It keeps my skin smooth and hydrated all throughout the day during the dry seasons.

Hottie Massage Bar

Ever need something soothing for those sore muscles? Look no further! This massage bar has bumps specifically to apply extra pressure to soothe those tense muscles. The massage bar melts with a buttery feel and leaves hydrating oils to the skin. You use this dry by rubbing the sore area. It also has an amazing aroma smell of vanilla! 

Holly Golightly Bubble Bar

This is one of the best bubble bars for the holiday season. Crumble it up under some warm running water and let the scent of spices fill the room. Hop into the tub with this soothing piece of joy, and as soon as you hop out it leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth to the touch.

Karma Soap

This is one of Lush's top soaps. Filled with amazing oils, lemongrass, and a hint of Cinnamon. This has to be one of my favorites. I always feel squeaky clean and can't stop smelling myself, because of the amazing scent it leaves lingering on my body. 

Cinders Bath Bomb

One of the most fun bath bombs I've ever used! Drop it into a hot bath and watch it fizz away changing your bath into a different color, and having pop rock in the center for even more fun. The smell brings you back to those flower power days and puts you in a great mood!

Lord of Misrule Bath Bomb

This bath bomb is classic for the holidays! This changes your bath water to a wicked green color as you pop one of these bad boys in for a wonderful bubble bath. It soon has a swirl of silver and eventually turns your bath an awesome wine color! What could be better? 

♡ I love going into Lush and playing around, finding new things to experiment with during bath time! I find myself going to take baths more often than normal now that I've discovered this amazing brand, but hey thats fine by me!

Fitness and health tips

Want to lose that extra weight you've gained over the holidays?

Here is a few things that are great for your body and will make you feel better than ever!

• Before every meal, consume a mixture of 1 cup of grapefruit juice, 2 tablespoons of Apple cider vinegar, and if it's too tart for your liking, then add 1 teaspoon of honey. Drink this 30 minutes before every meal and you will start to see a difference! 
• Drink water! Simple, right? Well we think so, but yet we don't take the time throughout our day to consume enough. 8-12 cups a day is the proper amount. Go ahead and add some lemon juice or honey to it. It's great for a fat burner and it adds a little something to just regular water. 
• Make sure you eat breakfast! You hear it all the time, but it's actually key to staying healthy and losing weight. Lately I've been eating Oat meal, which is great! You don't need to add anything to it but water. For lunch a salad with some fish is awesome. The biggest meal should be between your breakfast and your lunch. You should not eat a big dinner before ending your night. I suggest not eating dinner past 7 o'clock! 
• One other thing is exercise! I try to do my abdominal circuit workout in the morning and then hit the gym to run in the evening. My ab circut lately consists of 3 sets of 20 repetitions of crunches and leg raises. You can watch how to do these correctly from these two videos: Crunches, Leg Raises. I also like to do 4 sets of 60 second planks. This all seems like a lot, but honestly it really isn't. 

*Please note: I am not, by any means, a professional when it comes to health and fitness. These are just some tips I've learned throughout the years that have really worked for me.
