Three reasons to FREAK THE EFF OUT when you meet BECCA’s latest highlighter, the new $38 Shimmering Skin Perfector in Rose Gold…
1. The geometric design on the pan
So modern… So elegant…. I almost couldn’t bear to touch it with my finger the first time.
2. The gorgeous rosy gold color
What is this 1849 again? The start of another gold rush? 🙂 The pan really does look like it’s made from rose gold, doesn’t it?
It also makes skin glow, but not in that disco ball/oily way. I like this glow a lot.
I think BECCA gave it a hint of warm peach, too. The color seems more complex than your average run-of-the-mill highlighters.
3. The limited edition-ness
Uh…what do you mean this is a holiday release that I won’t be able to get whenever I want?
Excuse me??
I might have to squirrel away a backup (like I did with BECCA’s Cabrera Liner), because like their fabulous Opal and Moonstone Shimmering Skin Perfectors, Rose Gold gives skin a flattering glow without making pores look like the Great Lakes.
I’m cray-cray in love with how my skin just glows when I wear it, and it seems cruel not let it live in the permanent collection. 🙁
What else you should know about BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector in Rose Gold…
- The ultra-fine, luminescent pearls reflect light in complex ways, ensuring that your skin doesn’t lose its glow when you step inside or out.
- Can be used on the face and/or body
- Paraben-free formula
- The grains of powder don’t look like they’re just maxing and relaxing on top of the skin
- It’s also long lasting. When I sweep it on the tops of my cheekbones, down the bridge of my nose and on my cupid’s bow first thing in the morning, it lasts the entire day.
- Great for all skin types, including (and especially) mature
PRICE: $38

That is so gorgeous! You’re killin’ me with these Becca reviews. I have 2 of their highlighters. Do you think I really need this one? I have NC20 skin and I’m afraid if it’s “rose gold” it will cast a reddish hint to my skin. Can the lighter skinned pull this off well?

Agata says
That is beautiful on you!
Sylvia says
That is stunning! I have heard great things about the liquid Shimmer Skin Perfectors but I like powder highlighters better than liquids so this is right up my alley.
PS. That bangle is awesome!!
Xuvious says
I’ll be keeping an eye out for a cheaper version! 😉

This looks amazing! Happy Friday and I’m sorry, it’s been crazy busy but I wanted to stop by to let you know that we added to our feline family. An orange tiger BOY of all things. The fellas want to name him Milton. We’re now officially cray-cray cat people with four! 🙂
PS He’s feral but only 8 weeks and the boys are thrilled to have a kitten for the first time. 🙂

So pretty but I think already have my heart set on the Hourglass AMbient lighting trio, also LE. Dang those LEs!!! If you had to pick one for mature skin- which would you recommend?

So this is off-topic but I LOVE your shoutout to the Great Lakes- even if it was a comparison to big oily pores, I still smiled to see that because I live on Lake Michigan 😀 And the highlighter looks amazing as well!! Rose gold is my fave, whether in makeup or metals!
Chelsea says
I need to wear highlighters more often! This is gorgeous.
Lisa C says
This reminds me so much of my beloved Rose Illumination from Elizabeth Arden.
fancie says
This looks gorgeous on you Karen!! I love the color and the design. It’s just so pretty!
poulomee says
Hi Karen, how would you compare this to the Laura Mercier spellbound highlighter? Are they pretty similar?
Janna says
Now that Rose is no longer limited edition, which of the 3 are your favorite? I mean, if I were only to buy one which do you think is the most outstanding?!?!
Karen says
Hi Janna, Opal is my absolute favorite, hands down. It’s the one I reach for over and over again. It has a lovely golden warmth that looks like sunset on the skin. If you have any other questions please ask! 🙂
