New Becca Lost Weekend Palette Review & Swatches
This is a very wearable palette - perfect for the day and achieving a simple, but gorgeous understated look.
Colours
Gorgeous earthy neutrals with a hint of colour and will match most skin tones.
- Chino: A matte cocoa brown. Perfect colour for creating a not-so-obvious makeup crease, so the result is a very natural definition.
- Moleskin: A matte light, muted nude/beige with a hint of mauve. Lovely for all over the eye lid, which you could wear on it's own for a no-makeup look.
- Moiré: A light mauve with a pinkish hue & brown undertone and subtle, ultra fine silver shimmer. This is the brighter colour of the three. Very pretty. Adds a lovely dimension to the eyes when applied just on the middle part of each eye lid and if you want, also on the inner corners of the eyes to freshen the look.

Texture
Uber velvety soft and very pigmented that can be used wet (for a more intense colour) or dry. Extremely easy to blend and goes on very smoothly. As with the other Becca eye shadow palettes I have tried, I do not experience any creasing and the colour pretty much lasts throughout the day.
Other benefits
Fragrance and preservative free making it awesome for those with sensitive eyes like me.
Packaging
Becca's signature dark brown and rubbery texture packaging with label of each shadow on the bottom of the palette. Comes with a large mirror and a very soft, tiny, but pretty good quality (synthetic bristles I presume) brush with a wooden handle that does a good job of applying all colours to create an entire eye look. It's small and tapered at the end so it's particularly good for contouring/defining the eye crease.

Size
Each eye shadow pan is 1.6 g / 0.056 oz.
Overall, I really like this palette - it's very quick and easy to apply (even with just fingers!) and perfect for on the go makeup application.

New Becca Nail Colour Range - Lost Weekend Collection Review & Swatches
Becca just recently released their range of nail polishes for the first time, which I'm very excited about! So far I'm loving them. ^_^ Three colours were released as part of The Lost Weekend (Autumn) Collection.
Colours
Consistent with the Lost Weekend Collection earthy neutral theme. Will match most skin tones. Each colour kind of matches each of the eye colour shades from the palette, too which I like. All shades are glossy and have no shimmer. Opaque colour is achieved with 2 coats. Goes on fairly smoothly and easily.
- Toasted Marshmallow: Muted, earthy, mauve pink or rose with a brown undertone. This is my favourite out of the three as I don't have a shade like this and it's very wearable, natural looking colour and will suit most skin tones - it's very pretty.
- Saddle Up!: Caramel or light brown with yellow undertone. I would suspect this would look better for medium/olive skins.
- Billy Tea: Dark brown - I also like this colour as it provides a better contrast against my skin compared to 'Saddle Up!'. It's very nice, neutral and modern colour.

Packaging
Square clear glass bottle with Becca's signature dark brown, rubbery textured cap/brush applicator handle.
Size
15 ml / 0.51 fl oz.
Overall, I'm happy with this new nail colour set for this collection - very suitable for autumn - although the Toasted Marshmallow is pretty much suitable all year round because of the hint of colour. You may be able to find dupes for Billy Tea and Saddle Up! may not suit everyone. So if I had to choose, I would definitely recommend Toasted Marshmallow, because it would flatter most skin tones and it's a bit different.
