Beauty Product Reviews
Ice Cold
Fantastic. These powders are MASSIVE, and come with a huge nice mirror as well. The shade of this is a warm white (verses crystal ball which is a cool white, but less good of quality.) Ice Cold is extremely buttery and smooth, and very pigmented- so its definitely one for someone who likes a strong highlight. If you want a less intense highlight with this then you'll need to use a fan brush. Another thing I noticed with the skin frosts is that the actual powder itself feels quite thick. Not like a cream or anything, but just a very thick heavy feeling. You of course can't feel it like that when it's on your face, but I noticed it right away when swatching and thought it was interesting. This is definitely a different shade compared to Becca Pearl- which is more of a pure white, not cool or warm. So if you love white highlighters, this one is definitely different enough from that (I debated for a long time and got both + crystal ball.) I personally prefer the neutral to cool white highlighters in general, but this one is not so warm to be a white gold or champagne. Compared to mary lou-manizer its definitely still white. I think it's only noticeable that its a warm white when you compare it to Pearl/Crystal Ball. Great purchase! Amazing price and SO much product (do the math per ounce, its really a great deal), plus comes with a great mirror! This is definitely going to become one of my daily highlighters
Crystal ball
First of all, the size of these is MASSIVE, and it comes with an equally massive mirror inside which is amazing. The shade Crystal ball is a beautiful shade. Crystal ball is more of a silvery white, with a very slight pinkish shift- but I wouldn't necessarily say its enough to call it duo chrome (crystal ball is cool white, verses Ice cold which is more of a warm white). HOWEVER, Crystal Ball is far less quality than Ice Cold. I watched and read many reviews which all said this as well, but I decided to get it anyway since I liked the shade so much more. I ended up getting Ice Cold as well, so I could compare myself. Crystal Ball is definitely more of a harder powder, chunky, and is a bit patchy- Which I was a bit suprised with. Just swatching it, you can instantly tell the difference. It does still look really nice when applied with a brush, but definitely takes a bit more work in terms of buidling it up to a strong highlight, but also you just need to blend it a bit more. I wouldn't say not to get this, I think just watch video reviews so you can see exactly how it swatches, and looks applied to the face. The outcome on the face is still very beautiful, but it a lot more work. So if you love the shade and are okay with these said things, then go for it! Its still a great price for how much you get and the quality of the FINAL RESULT. So I give this powder a 3 in terms of quality of powder, but a 4 in terms of the fact that it still looks beautiful once you finish applying it- and for the amount you get. Do with that what you will
Amazing!
I've wanted to try out the Becca Pearl highlighter FOREVER but couldn't bring myself to splurge on the full size without knowing how I liked the product- so this is PERFECT. 20$ for a mini AND a mini liquid is a crazy good deal. On sephora, they sell a mini of a similar shade, and its 20$ JUST for the mini. This is the only place I could find this set of the shade Pearl- so I am so excited! The quality is amazing, and so smooth/soft. I actually bought 2 of these sets so that I could keep one at my boyfriend's house, so the little mirror that comes with it is very handy. Its small of course, because its a mini, but the actual mirror is very nice quality and easy to see into. Would reccomend! I'm definitely gonna buy the full size of the powder asap. Also, in terms of Beautylish- the shipping packaging is always amazing- always protected and also looks cute!
Perfect
Perfect powder. Great for oily and dry skin, and you can apply as much or little as you want without getting cakey or ashy. Really recommend this. Sometimes other brands/products "translucent" shade still shows up as too dark on me, so I love that this has 0 pigment/colour - Can use it year round without having to worry if I can paler/tanner. Soaks up the oil beautifully, and gives a nice matte finish without looking dry. I know, you shouldn't put liquid on top of powder, but when you're at work all day, you don't have time to take off and redo your makeup- and if I need to touch up at work, I can apply concealer on top and reset it without it caking up on me. Plus, the price is amazing. If you actually take the time to calculate the price per ounce verses expensive/ but especially even drugstore loose powders- the cost of this is WAY less and you get way more and better product. Rimmel Stay Matte WAS the only one that would keep my makeup set all day cause of how oily I get, and this one is the only other one that can keep up the same way. I prefer the look/finish, and price of this one though. Regarding packaging, this isn't great. It definitely will not leak on you in terms of travel (as long as the lid is closed) however for using it, it makes a mess. I used to think it was silly when people said this until I got/used it. BUT this is hardly a complaint. I just used the packaging from a loose powder I used to use, and put this into it. Problem solved! Just put it into an empty loose powder container (you can buy these, or just use one from a finished up powder you previously had.) Also, in terms of Beautylish- the shipping packaging is always amazing- always protected and also looks cute!
