Review: ColourPop NKLA x Laura Lee Los Angeles Collection

Hey Guys,

Today I'm going to share ColourPop's new Laura Lee x NKLA collection! This is the 3rd year that ColourPop has come out with a limited edition item in collab with No Kill LA & Best Friends Animal Society. 100% of the net proceeds are donated to this effort to stop euthanasia in animal shelters. You can see my review of their first shadow for this cause called Puppy Love HERE. Last year they came out with a shadow called Cat Nip. Both shadows as well as this collection are available right now on ColourPop's site! Each year I purchase for this cause since it is so near and dear to my heart. As soon as I found out they were doing it again this year, I knew I was going to get it regardless of what it looked like. I had mixed feelings about this collection. Keep reading to hear my thoughts, see swatches, and see a look that I created. 

All of the items in the collection can be purchased on their own or as a bundle. I purchased both the lip bundle and the shadow quad bundle. The super shock shadows are $5.00 each and the lip products are $6.00 each.

Right away, I fell in love with the packaging and color scheme. Its's so beautiful. I love the metallic rose gold detail. 

Review: Ulta Best of Becca Kit

Hey Guys,

Today I wanted to share my thoughts on the Best of Becca set from Ulta! It was $34.50 and such a great value. I have wanted to try Becca products for quite a while so I was so excited to see this set! Becca products are pretty expensive so it was awesome to be able to try a bunch of deluxe samples of them.

This set was $34.50 but I haven't seen it online or in stores anymore. Ulta just released a similar Becca set which you can check out HERE.

Here is what came in the kit:

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Rose Gold

soft gold infused w/ rose tones

Here is what is said about this product on the Ulta site:
"Find refined luminosity in any light - this formula features ultra-fine luminescent pearls that absorb, reflect, and refract light so your natural radiance is never lost. Unlike the traditional pressed powder method which simply mixes and compresses dry ingredients, this unique process blends pigments with proprietary liquid binders, resulting in unparalleled, creamy application with balanced color dispersion. Like a compact full of crushed gemstones, the multi-toned, ultra-fine pigment pearls adjust to skin's natural undertones for a truly unique glow."

I really love this highlighter. Its such a pretty unique color and gives just enough highlight without being too much. I was so upset when this broke! The whole entire highlighter came out of the pan and crumbled. I didn't even drop it or anything. I'm going to try to fix it. Hopefully it works.

Becca Beach Tint Shimmer Souffle in Watermelon/Moonstone

coral red infused with pale gold

Here is what is said about this product on the Ulta site:
"Water-resistant and oil-free, each pot combines BECCA's top-selling Beach Tint with a Shimmering Skin Perfector for effortlessly buildable colour with a splash of radiance.

An innovative air-whipped gel-to-powder that provides a wash of luminescent colour for the cheeks. Infused with skin-soothing, redness-reducing brown algae, this formula hydrates and revives dull skin for a youthful glow. Water-resistant and oil, paraben and talc-free.

Whipped to perfection: Each soufflé begins by pulverizing Beach Tint and Shimmering Skin Perfector pigments and pearls into an ultra-fine powder. The powder is then combined with a proprietary blend of liquids and whipped into a perfectly delicate soufflé." http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod10921044#

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal

golden opal pearl

Here is what is said about this product on the Ulta site:

"Achieve a subtle luminosity. This formula features ultrafine light-reflecting pearls that melt into your skin for polished, natural-looking radiance. Water-light and sheer, it has a prismatic effect that allows it to adjust in any light, so your refined glow is never lost."

This is a pretty highlight and I love the opal color but I prefer the pressed highlighter over the cream one. I feel like the powder is easier to apply.

Becca Beach Tint in Guava

bright coral pink

Here is what is said about this product on the Ulta Site:
"Apply a beautiful flush and a pretty pout with this blendable two-in-one formula for lips and cheeks. The oil-free, streak-free stain is enriched with antioxidant vitamin E to repair and soothe skin and the water-resistant formula stays put with a subtle, fruity scent."

Here are swatches of each product:

L-R: Opal, Guava, Watermelon/Moonstone, Rose Gold

Overall, this was a great kit to try out a bunch of Becca products. I wish that they had more kits like this from all the different beauty brands. If I can't fix the Rose Gold pressed highlighter I will probably buy the full sized product. I recently picked up the Opal pressed highlighter and like it but I prefer the Rose Gold one!
