Welcome back to my little corner of the interweb!

I'm really bad with introductions - small talk-ish conversations are just horrible. So, without further ado, lets get into the new release from Becca Cosmetics and Jaclyn Hill!

I've been watching Jaclyn Hill's videos for a while now, and champagne pop is one of my all time favorite highlighters (remind to write a post on all of my favorites). So when she was hinting at something being in the works, I was dying to find out what. Around the beginning of May, Jaclyn showed us the most beautiful face palette ever - enter the Champagne Collection Face Palette (which is sadly limited edition). It was revealed that this palette would be released on May 26, 2016. It's still not May 26th and I don't know how I would have waited that long.

On May 17th, the Champagne Collection launch party was all over the internet. So many social beauty gurus were flying to NYC for this coveted event. This day began as any other; I went to work, I came home, I started catching up on a show I was watching. I had decided to pick up my phone and check Instagram. Oh what a great decision that was (not for my wallet though). Becca Cosmetics has posted an image of the palette announcing that if you went on the Sephora mobile app and searched #champagneglow, you would get access to a limited supply of these palettes. Needless to say I lost my sh*t - I have zero chill. Of course I had to order one. But alas, It was not that easy.

I had searched every possible variation of #champagneglow I could think of and still nothing. Based on the comments on Becca's Instagram picture, it seemed as though this was an issue for Android users (yet another reason I loathe Android and cannot wait to switch back to an iPhone). So I looked to twitter to see if I could find out anything else - while simultaneously downloading the Sephora app on my iPad (Spoiler: that app didn't work either). When I got to Becca's twitter, all of the replies to people who were having the same issue as me were told to try calling Sephora's customer service line. I bet you can guess where this story goes next.

Yup, I called Sephora. When I got to a representative to order the palette, I was greeted with attitude. I was told I had to search the code word (I had already done that). I was then told to put that code word into the promo section of checkout (that didn't work either). Finally the representative took my order over the phone (her attitude had dissipated by this point as well - which resulted in me not contacting Sephora about the matter). And so it was ordered! I was ecstatic! I didn't bat an eye at the price tag of $52 because I knew this was limited edition and it has been on my wishlist for a hot second. It arrived in the mail three days later and it was the best way to end my work week.

The Champagne Collection Face Palette includes Champagne Pop (0.19 oz), Prosecco Pop (0.19 oz), Rosé Spritz (0.10 oz), Amaretto (0.12 oz), and Pamplemousse (0.12 oz).

I have to say, out of the blushes, I am most excited for Rosé Spritz. I usually go for matte blushers, but I do love a good rose gold. It reminds me of Orgasm blush by Nars and Rose Gold blusher by Sleek Makeup (Disclaimer: I am not saying these are dupes). The pigmentation on both highlights and the three blushers is insanely good.

The packaging comes with the usual plastic insert - which has to be the cutest one I've ever seen. But fear not, you can toss it - the names are also on the back of the packaging so you never have to worry about forgetting.

 I am incredibly impressed with this palette. It will definitely be my go to for my makeup looks for the foreseeable future. If you weren't able to get your hands on this during the surprise limited launch, it's online on May 26th and in stores June 16th. You can also check out the rest of the new releases for the Champagne Collection here. I cannot wait to glow through the summer months (and let's be honest - all year round).

Are you planning on purchasing one of the new products? Which one are you most excited for?
