@sister13 ~ I'm very happy you posted these, thank you!  That palette had caught my eye as soon as it came out, but I was unsure of how opaque or pigmented it was going to be. You have convinced me that I'll love it! ❤❤❤

Thanks @sister13. Went in the store today to try them. Trying to get my list together for the Spring sale next month.

Beautiful swatches @sister13

[Luvstravel]

Thanks for the swatches. Are those brush applied above the swatches? I hope so. I like seeing how it applies. A lot of products swatch great, but they don't apply well. Like those Nars swatches from the eyeshadow palette, swatched great, still unsure on application.

[sister13]

Hi @Luvstravel, those are just blended out with my fingers, not a brush. They are so pigmented!

@sister13 - Beautiful! thanks for swatching and sharing. 🙂

Best Regards,

❤️ Raquel

I am so tempted by this, @sister13!  Your swatches are so pretty!💗

Swatches of the Becca Apres Ski and the Ocean Jewels palettes. I know both of these got some mixed reviews, so I thought I’d share the comparisons. I personally love them both!! @AnonymousApres Ski

Ocean Jewels

@Shosh85,

Thanks for the great swatches of both Becca palettes!!  🙂 

You enabled me to order Ocean Jewels!   I got tired of waiting for it to go on sale!

@Shosh85 Thank you for your beautiful swatches...Girl you just made me want to get these beautiful palettes .... I’ll get them when I’m back! I think I cannot get the Aprés ski eyeshadow palette anymore because it was a limited edition item .. Boo 😞

[Shosh85]

@Anonymous The Ocean Jewels palette is a little more exciting anyway! I’m in love with those sparkly shades! 🤗😍

[fieldsofclover]

Agreed, I really like Aprés Ski but I do think Ocean Jewels is a better palette 🐚

[fieldsofclover]

Bahhhh maybe I'll get this after all whenever it goes on sale... That shade third from the bottom is the one I'm really into 😭😍

[Shosh85]

@fieldsofclover That’s one of my favorites too. 🙌 I just love the sparkly duo chrome shades! There’s only a couple shades between the two palettes that don’t show up well on my pale skin😬

Thanks, @Shosh85! It's nice to see them swatched together!

Some unsolicited swatches of my recent drugstore haul! @tsavorite @Anonymous @Tamara76

Flower beauty highlighter palette (blended on the left) These melt when you put them on the face and then spray your facePhysician's Formula Butter Highlighters in Champagne and Pearl (has a slight pink shift)Milani Strobe Highlighters- Moon Glow, After Glow, Summer Glow, Day Glow- amazing creamy formula!Maybelline Molten Rose Gold vs ABH Kitty Kat (from Nicole Guerriero palette)- less of a silver shift but smoother and without glitterL’Oréal Lumi Bronze It in Light vs Marc Jacobs Tan-Tastic- Lumi bronzer has a sheen to it and is slightly warmer

[Tamara76]

@makeitup305  Thank you so much for the swatches!   And I am super happy you love the new products.

P.S. I am sooooooo sorry you don't like the way Butter Bronzer/Highlighter smells - I absolutely adore it, like, to the point if I could slather myself in this fragrance, I would!  I use a leave in conditioner mask that smells exactly like it - I think it's by Hask.

@Anonymous honestly, I can't pick! I can't remember the last time I did such a big haul and ended up liking everything. Nothing is going back, even if it's a little repetitive.

I just realized I forgot to swatch the blushes.

Here are some comments though:

-Flower Beauty palette- they apply a little powdery but if you spray your face when you're done, they melt into your skin.

-Physician's Formula highlighters- My only complaint is the smell. I HATE IT. I gave away my Butter Bronzer (which is flipping fantastic, too) because I couldn't deal with it. however, lots of people like the smell so it depends on your preference. Other than that, very pretty and not glittery.

-Milani Strobe Highlights- great great formula, super creamy powders. They just give your skin a sheen.

-Lumi Bronzer- I have no idea why this has no hype. This is a great bronzer, at least this shade. The two darker shades looked like they might have some specks of sparkle but this one has a nice sheen to it.

-Both the Flower Beauty and Burt's Bees blushes that I tried were pigmented but super blendable. I think Toasted Cinnamon (Burt's Bees) might be a dupe for Becca's Wild Honey.

Hope this helps!
