It’s no surprise that the Kardashian sisters are known for their love of makeup. We all know Kylie and her heavily sought after brand, Kylie Cosmetics, continues to have sold out releases and is one of the most debated products on Youtube (the consensus seems to be that you either live for it or you hate it. See: her over priced brush kit). Kim also recently launched her own cosmetics line after a collar with Kylie, and is also a polarizing product line.
So, imagine the beauty community’s surprise when it was revealed in December 2018 that Khloe Kardashian, the youngest of the three, and her best friend, Malika Haqq, were releasing their own limited edition makeup sets each. The full line includes a face kit a piece($44), four lipsticks (two for each gal at $24 each) and Glow Letters in cute X’s, O’s, and hearts($18).
beauty claims
Via Becca’s website, the Bronze, Blush & Glow Palettes claim to be an “Easy to use, all-in-one face palette, just like a photo filter, in real life.” They also state the powder formula is buildable, smoothing, and creates a natural glow. They also state the product has “light diffusing pigments & light reflecting pearl create a lit-from-within glow”.
ingredients
A quick peek at the ingredients lets us know that the first one listed (and usually the ingredient that is the most in the product itself) is talc. Now I in no way shape of form claim to be an expert on talc, but it is a debated product for makeup ingredients due to the fact that inhaling it is bad for your lungs. However, most reputable sites also state that that is only the case if it is talc in its natural form which may contain asbestos, which this does not.
THE PALETTE WITH & WITHOUT FLASH
packaging
One thing I was disappointed about was the packaging, on the website it does a good job of making it seem like its a heavy, luxurious metal casing. However, this is not the case, its actually a plastic type feel, and pretty light. It almost feels cheap. For the price of $44 I would have appreciated a heavier encasing of the product.
swatches
FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: GLOW UP, FIERCE, FABULOSITY, KOKO BRONZE
Each powder switched beautifully and definitely had the “lit-from-within” glow that Becca is known for. Full transparency, this is my first ever Becca product, and I picked it one for the color story, and two because I’m actually a fan of Keeping Up With The Kardashians (pleasedontjudgemeitsaguiltypleasure). I prefer the blush “Fierce” to the other blush in the palette, “Fabulosity”, as I feel it is warmer on my skin tone and more peachy, which I look for in a blush. The matte bronzer, “Koko Bronze” is also lovely, applied very smooth and I found that with continued use, I could either build it up slowly or go HAM and have a serious bronze. I shoot for a soft warm look so building it up is my go to. The highlight, “Glow Up” is by far my favorite thing about the palette, I was able to use a ton without adding texture to my skin, and have the nice subtle naked skin glow that seems to be trending these days in the beauty community.
overall
Overall I did like the product and would reward it an 9/10; one point off for the packaging being a little misleading. That being said I will be reaching for this product everytime I do my makeup, certainly for the highlighter as well as the blushes. The matte didn’t quite beat my love of the Hoola Matte Bronzer by Benefit, but if I didn’t have that one, I’d use this one. I also imagine that this will last me a good long while, so if you want to spend the money I really recommend it as an introductory product to Becca.
