Becca Beach Tint

February 20, 2011

This month in Australia, Madison magazine is giving out one full size of Becca beach tint with every purchase! This deal is absolutely a steal as it retails for $42 in Australia.

Being a long time Becca lover, I already have the Becca Tint in watermelon and grapefruit in my makeup collection. They are by far the best tint I have ever tried. Before I had discovered Becca Tint, I actually wasn’t a big fan of tint. They always come off streaky and patchy on my skin, no matter how hard I blend it. However, with the Becca tint, the formulation is really creamy but not greasy. Once it is applied onto my cheeks, it literally melts into my skin and gives the most natural flush of color, it just looks like your own healthy glow from within. Once it sets, it doesn’t smudge and lasts all day.

Becca Tint grapefruit is more sheer than watermelon, I am very pale (NC 20), I still have to layer it on a few times. As mentioned earlier, becca beach tint blends like a dream, they can be easily built up to the intensity you prefer.

To give you a better idea of how they look on the face, I have posted some pictures of me wearing becca beach tint. In the pictures below,  I applied the product with the MAC stippling brush (MAC 187). Basically I just dot it around my cheeks, and voila, no harsh lines at all. For photography reasons, I applied more product than usual to show you the effect.

I do not like them on my lips as they are quite drying and accentuating my lips lines. There are thousands of other lip products that I own apply and look better on my lips than the becca beach tint..

About me..About this blog

On me

As far as I can remember, I have always been a beauty junkie. Ever since I was little, I was more drawn to the beautifully packaged cosmetics than toys and games! Back in the teenage days, I would rather starve myself to buy things which were way too expensive for a teenage girl. Fast forward to now, I am in my twenties, have a well paid job to support my hobby of shopping. Over the past years, I have collected so many make ups (some have never been used!) regardless, they are all my treasure. This blog will be my avenue to share my passion with you all.

On blogging

All the products featured in this blog are purchased on my own. This blog will mainly feature high end cosmetics as well as some drugstore products and the products that are exclusive to Asia. I would love to hear from those of you who share the same passion as me via this blog. What can I say, I work in an industry where no one around me understands why I always have grey (or more specifically taupe) color on my nails.

On fashion

My second interest would definitely be fashion, therefore I might feature some fashion posts every now and then. I don’t follow trends religiously but I do like updating my wardrobe each season. As I age, I have come to appreciate quality a lot more than quantity. These days I mainly focus on buying well made clothes and accessories so they become staples in my wardrobe.

On lifestyle

I am the biggest animal lover. For some reason I have more sympathy for animals than for human beings. I am not a vegetarian..yet..but I am fully aware of the source of the food. These days I only purchase food that are ethically sourced. Decorating my home is my other weakness…you can always find the latest interior design magazines on my coffee table..

Okay, enough about me. Thanks for taking your time to check out my blog, please follow me or bookmark me for future reference 🙂
