Summer Handbag Loves: Luxury vs. Splurge vs. Save





I have a small obsession with handbags.  They are probably hands down my favorite accessory.  Today I've rounded up some of my favorite summery style handbags.  Lots of light pastels, light neutrals, and bright pops of colors are the best way to accessorize outfits during the summer months (IMHO).  My two favorite types of handbags are totes that can fit everything, and crossbodys that leave your hands free (usually to hold coffee and food because those are my priorities).

I've rounded up 3 levels of price ranges: The luxury buys that I am drooling over, The Splurges that are slightly easier to stomach price-wise, but still up there and the Saves: All under $100!

Review: Jaclyn Hill x Becca Face Palette


Top L-R: Rose Spritz (shimmer blush)/ Amaretto (matte blush)/ Pamplemouse (matte blush)
Bottom L-R: Champagne Pop (rose-gold highlighter)/ Prosecco Pop (Gold highlighter)

(L-R) Pamplemouse, Amaretto, Rose Spritz, Champagne Pop, Prosecco Pop


Jaclyn Hill has always been one of my favorite YouTubers. Not only is she inspiring, but the positivity she spreads always makes my day better (if you have never seen her videos I totally recommend that you check them out!).  I picked up Champagne Pop as my first Becca Highlighter last winter when they first came out and fell in love.  It is a gorgeous rosey-gold highlighter that you can create either an effortless glow or a majorly intense highlight with.   I fell in love.

When I found out that she was planning to launch a full collaboration with Becca I knew it was going to be amazing.  She has come out with a face palette, eyeshadow palette, a pressed version of Champagne Pop, a poured version of champagne pop, and a liquid version of champagne pop.  I was lucky enough to snag one of her face palettes before they all sold out.

In the face palette you get 2 full sized highlighters, Champagne Pop and Prosecco Pop.  And 3 full sized blushes, Amaretto, Rose Spritz, and Pamplamouse

I have been playing with this beauty for a few days now and I have to say it is amazing.  The quality of the products is incredible and I could not recommend this palette enough.  I can only imagine the rest of the collection will be just as amazing.   I think the standouts for me are the two highlighters (no surprise, Becca highlighters are some of my favorites) and Amaretto (loving the natural nudey blushes lately).  

It is sold out now on Sephora.com  but it hopefully will be restocked and sold in stores in the near future!
