Becca Blushed With Light Palette

Becca stands out to me as a brand primarily because of the Jaclyn Hill highlighter, however I've been curious to try their other offerings. They brought out a blush palette - the Blushed With Light Palette

It has three very different shades in it in regards to colour and at the moment my favourite is the far left - Wisteria - as it's very a very subtle pinky/nude and looks good with any look. Songbird almost doubles up as a blusher and bronzer as it has that warmth to it and Snapdragon is a very vibrant strong dark pink with gold flecks running though.
They are all finally milled and apply beautifully. Some blushers can sometimes look too powdery and as if they just sit on the skin however these blend really nice into what ever is already on the face.

I'm super impressed with these and definitely will purchase more. They have definitely lived up to my expectations!

Have you tried any Becca Blushers?
I hope you enjoyed reading,

Favourite hair care!


I am a massive hair fanatic and even though I don't style my hair in that many styles I really enjoy looking after it. My hair care collection has grown to be quite extensive over the last few months and there are some things that are real staples in my collection and routine (apart from shampoo and conditioner)

Every time before I wash my hair I deep condition it. There's something very relaxing about lathering my hair with something that feels really luxurious and letting it do its magic before I hop in a shower. I really enjoy the one that Mark Hill does, as well as the Lee Stafford Fix it treatment and the Aussie three minute miracle range (they smell so good! I've noticed my hair looks a lot healthier since I've been using deep conditioner and it is probably my favourite step out of them all.

Once I've towel dried my hair I always put some sort of oil on the ends and through the lengths. My hair can sometimes be quite dry so I find this step adds in shine as well as moisture. I have a few on the go, because I can never be consistent with each product, and so some of my favourites are the Mark Hill (can you tell I like the brand?) XL volume serum, the OGX weightless revising oil treatment and the John Frieda repairing oil elixir. Also none of the ones I own make my hair feel heavy or greasy as some oils do!

Another product that has made its way into my daily routine is a shine spray. Pictured is a 'gloss' spray by Charles Worthington, but there are some great ones out there and I must have about 5 in my collection, no where near as many as the amount of masks and oils I own however! L'OrĂ©al do a wonderful mist - the miracle shine booster and Mark Hill (again!) have a 'taming humidity spray' which doubles up as a shine spray and a protection spray against the sun! Bonus. A spray is always something I use before heading out the door  and I find it makes my hair look really nourished and healthy.

The last product is dry shampoo. Everyone and their mother is on board this wagon, however I've never seen the appeal. My hair is usually pretty good and doesn't get greasy very often and I wash it every other day so I never thought I needed it. However I thought I'd try it and I'm pretty impressed. I have an Aussie one - the festival fresh bottle and it's great for adding a bit of volume and texture however I've gone over board a couple of times and it's left my hair feeling quite wet.

My hair seems to be in much better condition now and it feels healthier as well. I'm so happy with it and all of the products in my rapidly growing collection.

What products are your favourites in your routine?
