Dupe Alert: Affordable Alternative to Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Opal!

More Options For Less!

Today I have another dupe to share with you! Pardon my lack of posts recently, with the holidays and... life happening I've been short on time but hopefully these Dupe Alerts can make up for that! ;-) I'm very excited about this dupe because you can't detect a difference between the two products. Highlight makes the world of difference when your makeup is looking a little dull and Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Opal has been everyone's favorite highlight for the job. I have a little baby size that I've been loving! The full size retails for $38 but the alternative that I found is only $8 currently!

I love me some bh Cosmetics! They have amazing products at even more amazing prices. The Wild & Radiant- Baked Illuminating & Bronzing Palette is a great example of that. You get four universally flattering shades for only $8! You can use these wet or dry and I even love to use them as shadows. The one I wanna focus on today is the one on the top right. It's a gorgeous champagne shade, so silky and so smooth! Becca Opal feels more buttery but on the face the difference is undetectable.

Here they are swatched next to each other. They last so well and look stunning on the face! With the palette you get so many choices, you can even concoct you're own perfect highlight shade if Opal isn't for you. This is such a great deal all around, I highly recommend it! :-)

Review: Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Opal!

Best Highlight For All Seasons!

I always wondered why this product was always sold out on Sephora.com! I heard so many great things about it through the YouTube world but I just couldn't believe it would be worth the hefty $38 price tag... but it is and more! I've come to the conclusion that if I could only have one highlight for the rest of my life this would be the one. It's such a gorgeous shade plus a little goes along way! This is described as a golden opal pearl on the Sephora site, I'd say its a beautiful champagne highlight.

The packaging definitely feels luxurious! It's similar to the Nars packaging which the only downfall is that it gets dirty fairly easy.

Here's a closeup! It's breathtakingly gorgeous! The powder is so smooth to the point of feeling creamy. It doesn't have any chunks of glitter but it leaves a beautiful shimmering glow on the face! You barely need any product on your brush to achieve the perfect glow. It's pretty long wearing as well, I'd say a good 5 hours before its not as noticeable as the initial application.  Here's a swatch:

The one on the left is just one swipe across, you can tell how pigmented it is. I blended it out on the right side which it blends like a dream by the way!

 

Bottom line: I definitely believe this highlighter is worth the investment! I wouldn't purchase more than one because it's pretty pricey but for something that you will use everyday you will get your money's worth. There's more shades to the line so there's something for everyone. I found that this color was perfect for me on my tan-ish days and days where I look white as snow haha. I'm loving this product and if you've been on the fence about it I say go for it! You have to treat yourself every now and then, you deserve it! :-)
