Bend it like BECCA
Known for their finely milled and incredibly glowy powders, luxury brand BECCA is taking the world (and our cheeks) by storm. With the successful launch of their collection with YouTube star Jaclyn Hill, the brand has been upping their glow and highlight game ever since. Cut to their newest release, a powder that’s aimed to give you that summer bronze glow all year long: the Bronze Amber Shimmering Skin Perfector.

Sponge-tastic!
Sam and Nic Chapman, the geniuses behind the affordable British brand Real Techniques, are definitely pioneers in their own right. From starting out as makeup artists to becoming one of the most successful YouTubers in the UK, these women are changing the drugstore makeup tool game and we couldn’t be happier!
Following the success of their $7 Miracle Complexion Sponge, which rivaled the famous $20 Beauty Blender, comes something that’s going to make sponge-obsessed converts of all us. According to Sam, the three new beauty sponges will aid in the three Cs of makeup: cover, correct, and color. The Miracle Diamond Sponge ($10) has a marble effect that makes blending face bases so much easier and faster. Though oddly-shaped, the Miracle Sculpting Sponge ($6) is the perfect companion for highlighting and contouring with its six different sides, allowing for precision and easy blending. The adorably-sized Mini Eraser Sponges ($6) may look puny but these little egg -shaped purple sponges actually work great for final touchups and blending.
