Beauty Tuesday: Review Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector

I bought this product back in early August, and because it super cold all over North America, I thought I would write a review now to warm everyone up. This is a liquid-creme illuminator, and I have it in the shade Topaz which is a goldy-bronze. It is perfect as an all over face primer, or just as a liquid bronzer. It has an SPF25++ which is amazing in the summer. Since Becca is Australian, the SPF is a lot truer than in America, so it is great as a makeup base. I have worn this product for about 2 months,  and I have to say I love it! I love the consistency, it does not cause me to break-out, and it lasts all day. It also has almost like a blurring effect, that blurs all your pores and imperfections. It does not cause me to get oily throughout the day. The only downside I can find is that it has a rather strong smell, but even that is bearable, and does not affect the product. This is definitely a must have for me, and worth the splurge! xx JD

I have a love for white lace dresses, I currently own 4, so when I saw this one I had to have it. It is a small, so it will be a bit more roomy. For sizing reference I am 5'1'' and I usually take sizes 0-2. You can never have too many scarves; they pull together outfits like no other. So when I was in Ardenes, I picked up a turquoise with sparkly gold thread running through it; a simple black one; and an animal print scarf for a day when I want to add a little wildness to an outfit. I also bought two pairs of pretty shoes, they are from Suzy Shier, and I bought them in a size 6. The flats are just simple and black ...
