Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Face Palette

This month, Becca launched their second collaboration with makeup artist and YouTuber, Jaclyn Hill, called the Champagne Collection. It sees the launch of four products (there was also an eyeshadow palette, but Becca has pulled it from both stores and online retailers due to manufacturing issues), of which one is new and limited edition, two are new and will be added to the permanent range, and one is a re-promote from the permanent range. The Champagne Collection features one new and limited edition face palette. As the name implies, it is inspired by Champagne: "Sparking with golden luminosity, Champagne lights up everything it surrounds, encouraging us to celebrate each moment. The perfect inspiration, this palette captures its luxurious effervescence, and who better to partner with than Jaclyn Hill, creator of the original Champagne Pop!"


The face palette features "all new shades created by Jaclyn in best-selling Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed, Mineral Blush, and Luminous Blush [that] can create endless combinations for your perfect glow. Simply sweep the luxuriously creamy powders across the face, wear shades alone, or layered for unique looks." It is packaged in a rectangular champagne gold compact with a white lid featuring Becca and Jaclyn Hill's logos and a sunburst design in metallic gold and silver, with a mirror spanning the entire inside of the lid. The palette contains a total of 20.4 grams of product, and retails for $59 CAD or $52 USD. It is now available in-stores at Sephora.

Champagne Pop and Prosecco Pop

Champagne Pop is a light warm peachy champagne with champagne gold micro-shimmer in a pearlized metallic finish. It has a very soft, almost creamy texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It can be layered and blended out easily. It is darker and more peach than Becca Moonstone, slightly lighter and warmer than Becca Opal, darker and more peach than Anastasia Bubbly, more peach than Anastasia Sunburst, lighter and more gold than MAC Soft and Gentle, and more peach than TheBalm Mary Lou-Manizer.

Prosecco Pop is a light-medium warm gold champagne with gold micro-shimmer in a pearlized metallic finish. It has a very soft, almost creamy texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It can be layered and blended out easily. It is darker and more yellow than Becca Champagne Pop, more yellow than Becca Opal, brighter than Anastasia Dripping in Gold, darker and more peach than Anastasia Bubbly, lighter than Anastasia So Hollywood, and lighter than NARS Jubilation #1.

Whether or not you're a fan of Jaclyn Hill, this face palette is well worth the hype and has the quality that Becca is known for. Each powder is ultra-smooth and incredibly pigmented; almost creamy to the touch and blends out like a dream. Due to the intense colour pay-off, a little really does go a long way with all the powders here, and those who like more sheer, buildable shades will probably want to use a more feathery brush and/or a light hand. All the shades included in this palette are warm-leaning with two squarely in the bright coral-pink family, and three of the five powders have a high metallic finish, so if you were looking for cooler tones or more subtle highlighters, this is not the palette for you. That having been said, it should work well on almost all skintones, though those who are extremely fair (NC15/NW13 and lighter) might find the highlighters too dark and the blushes too bright, and those who are extremely dark (NC50/NW45 and darker) might find the highlighters too bright and the blushes too light. 

Each pan is appropriately sized to fit a variety of face brushes into; it's a pet peeve of mine when a product that is specifically designed for face is too small to fit a brush into without having to manipulate it. I think the palette really hits the right balance with form and function — it is both sleek and pretty without a lot of extraneous detail, and the powders are laid out in a way that is clear and practical to use. It also has a nice weight to it that makes it feel more luxurious, with a beautiful, ultra-clear (e.g. no distortion) mirror spanning the entire lid. It has a sturdy clasp and the lid stands up on its own when the compact is open, so it is great for travel as well. Overall, I think Becca and Jaclyn Hill did an outstanding job on this collaboration; the palette is reflective of Jaclyn's personal style and aesthetic and upholds Becca's formula quality and company integrity while being widely flattering and a pleasure to use.
