The Lowdown

The Apres Ski Glow Face Palette is the latest limited edition face palette from Becca Cosmetics - this one was a holiday edition for winter in the northern hemisphere. These limited edition palettes are always a great and economical way to try a number of Becca products in one palette.

This palette contains one bronzer, two blushes and three highlighters. One of the highlighters (icicle) and one of the blushes (winter berry) are new shades exclusive to the palette whilst the others are existing shades. The breakdown of the shades is:

Rose Quartz - highlighter
Icicle - highlighter
Winter Berry - blush
Blushed Copper - blush
Opal - highlighter
Bronzed Bondi - bronzer

The palette is currently on sale at Sephora Australia for $64.00 (was $92.00) and internationally is available from the Becca website or Sephora.

The Verdict/Review

Becca really never disappoints with these limited edition palettes and this one is no exception. Overall, the quality of the shades are consistently pigmented and blend like a dream.

Rose Quartz - is a light blush pink highlighter with gold reflects. It would suit light to medium skin tones best and could be used as a gleaming light blush for fair skinned girls.
Icicle - a cool toned light icy highlighter, this one packs a punch on the pigment scale. This seemed a bit drier than the original Becca highlighter formula but beautiful nonetheless.
Winter Berry - is a matte, dark pink-peach blush which should suit range of skin tones. It is quite bright so may not be everyone's cup of tea
Blushed Copper - this one seems like a confused highlighter as it is very shimmery.....and I personally will probably only ever use it as an eyeshadow. It is a dark, shimmery copper bronze shade with a buttery smooth texture.
Opal - the old classic, everyone knows opal with its perfect champagne gold. The formulation feels slightly different to the original but the colour payoff seems equivalent.
Bronzed Bondi - is a medium brown bronzer with a reddish undertone. Although it looks quite shimmery in the pan it doesn't pull the shimmer when swatched (in my opinion). Would best suit light to medium skin tones.
