It was a dark and stormy night…
Wait — no it wasn’t. Not even close. It was actually a Lost Weekend earlier this fall, and matte Becca Mineral Blush in Wild Honey ($32) was there.
The sweet cheeks this pigmented peachy nude powder blush creates are always in style, but they feel like they hail from a kinder, gentler time, a time when afternoons meant studying at the library after school, and your cheeks would flush at a smile from your crush or a single word like, “Hi.”
Wild Honey isn’t a blush for the jaded or bitter. Wear one or two layers (the color lasts a solid eight hours without fading) only when you’re in the mood to smile. 🙂
PRICE: $32
AVAILABILITY: Available now online
MAKEUP AND BEAUTY BLOG RATING: A (I only wish it were cheaper)
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

November 8th, 2011 at 2:21 pmYou could, as long as you’re looking for more of peachy toned contour powder, rather than a bronze, brown or gold shade.
Have you worn Becca before? They’ve got some really nice products.

November 8th, 2011 at 2:16 pmSo pretty. Even $10 off would be nice, right?

November 8th, 2011 at 4:32 pmwhat a gorgeous blush! it would also be lovely layered over some peach cream blush!
Karen says
November 9th, 2011 at 8:26 pmThat’s a good idea! I’m going to try that tomorrow, I think!

November 8th, 2011 at 6:06 pmI love your scarf, where’d you get it? His blush is the perfect color, but I have so many already and I just stopped by Clinique for the bonus gift….

November 9th, 2011 at 8:25 pmHi Em,
It was a Christmas gift from my brother’s girlfriend. I think she got it from H&M.

November 8th, 2011 at 6:25 pmQuick alert – Pinkberry has brought back the salted caramel due to popular demand. Had it tonight mixed with pumpkin. T’was awesome! Added bonus – if you buy at least a small with a topping you can get the take home size for only $5 (normally $12.75). Yep. Got me a freezer stocked with yogurty goodness.

November 9th, 2011 at 8:25 pmOkay, have you had the peanut butter one yet? I had it two weeks ago and it was a REVELATION.

November 10th, 2011 at 4:30 amIt was fantastic, but it is gone now. I feel like their best flavors are the limited time ones.

November 8th, 2011 at 11:03 pmThanks, Karen! I’ve been waiting for this. Once you post the second blush, could you also compare the two new blushes with the Halcyon Day ones?
Karen says
November 9th, 2011 at 8:24 pmHi Rita,
I did swatches and a look with the second powder shade, Sweetpea, a while back. Here’s the link:

I’ll be happy to do comparison swatches for you w/the other two. I’ll have to do it in the morning, though, when I have better lightening. Adding it to my to-do list! 🙂
Kim says
November 9th, 2011 at 5:56 amI always think Becca’s stuff is so pretty and keep saying I need to own something from the line. It’ll probably be a blush and I’ll probably add it to my Christmas list. On a side note, the Hubs is headed to Albany today for a wake and I asked him to stop by the Clinique counter to grab an eyeliner and brow pencil for me. I’m pretty darn impressed that he’s going to do it! 🙂
Karen says
November 9th, 2011 at 8:23 pmNow THAT is love. 😀 What eyeliner did he get?
