Excited about this. I got an email from Becca saying coming soon but I read somewhere that it was coming in May.

So as with any brand release on the horizon, I go back to my stash and make a point of using stuff I already have.
I pulled out my Becca x JH palette this morning and boy of boy...I forgot I love it!
...so I am all about the new Becca x CT! Especially because I did not jump right on the release of the Rose Gold Shimmering Skin Perfector...and I WANT IT!

I do the same. I start thinking about other or similar products I have from the line. I will say I have been using the Jaclyn Hill palette fairly often but I do use the mirror almost daily so that probably helps. But this release has me thinking about Opal. I recently found it shattered in my collection. I don't use it much but I'm thinking about buying another. I have no interest in repressing a permanent product. I feel like I better use the shattered one a few times to make a decision but I hate dealing with messy things.So as with any brand release on the horizon, I go back to my stash and make a point of using stuff I already have.

Messy things is no fun!
That happened with one of my LE MAC Wonder Woman MSF palettes. I loved it so much I saved the shattered pieced into another container. I ended up using it for travel.

I purchased Maui Nights to use as a blush and I love it.

I thought that Temptalia might mention if the bronzer formula is the same, but she didn't. She did give it a high score though lol

Karen's swatches of the new Becca Sunlit Bronzers...
@boschicka ~ I would totally buy Maui Nights to use as a blush too!
For anyone who missed out on MAC's Taraji Glow (or whichever fricking one was the darker one
), I think Maui Nights is in the same vein. Maui Nights is definitely more....pigmented? Rust? Something? But definitely gives a similar look for me as a blush.

I wore Taraji Glow (or whichever one it is, right? *smh*) yesterday. MAC needs to bring that back! It's like nothing I own and lasts all day. I think Maui Nights has less red/burgundy but I think the vibe will be very similar. I'm definitely going to grab Maui Nights as some pint *cue bronzer that actually shows up on me* lol. I like the look of Ipanema Sun on Karen but I think that's one I'll have to swatch in store. That may give me more of a sunkissed glow than bronzing but I do like the sheen it seems to have on her.

This is why I love this forum! We remind each other of what we have in our stashes! Hands down, the Taraji Duo (Taraji Glow and Highlight The Truth) are/were my favorite purchase last year! Thank you @Shars ! I just pulled that out of my drawer to play with
In other BECCA news...there are some people making a stink because the new BxCT palette has close dupes to other BECCA and non-BECCA products.
I like Sabrina's comparison images...It is nice to see if you already have something duped in your stash, you do not have to run out and buy the CT palette.
I have the JH, CT and NARS BdS palettes and I love that they compliment each other/are in the same color family. I can intermix using them together and they will all continue to get heavy usage this spring/summer.

They are definitely very similar on you!! When you get a chance would you be able to take a pic of both in the pan to compare?

You're most welcome! Those are two of MAC's best products in a while in my opinion! I wish the highlighter one would last longer on me though.
Maybe I'm just a makeup obsessed individual, but apart from the blush, I don't think the Chrissy Teigen palette is similar to the Jaclyn Hill one at all. If you got both I don't think it would be duplicitous. But I can see that they're the same family. They also seemed to be marketed to different crowds - Jaclyn's was the sky-lighter crowd (a.k.a. the glow from space army) and Chrissy's is more a safe but everyday palette (a.k.a. the one we'd use on the daily until we hit pan). I don't see why people are mad that it's similar to non-Becca palettes though lol!
Side note: has anyone successfully depotted a shimmering skin perfector pressed? I have a mini rose gold that has that same packaging as the NARS blushes and it's gone all gooey. I need to get it out as it's driving me nuts! I know these pressed ones are super fragile so I don't want to ruin it.

The lighter Mac Taraji highlighter (not even going to worry about the name lol) is one of my most used products. Love it! Amazing product!
I also really like the CT palette! Haven't had it long enough to put it in the love/hg category. My JH palette was initially used a lot, but now it is kind of hidden away in my stash.

I agree 100%. I don't get why people get mad or make a fuss. It's not like anyone is being forced to buy the palette! If you think it's a dupe, pass on it. There will be others. I think some people just like to find something to complain about.

These are most likely the same people that go to Sephora's review section to complain about a limited edition product that was hyped to the heavens, that they didn't get their hands on.

Don't get me started on that review section. Sephora needs to do a better job of monitoring posts. I don't want to read through complaints about shipping, availability, customer service, etc. At the very least, they shouldn't allow reviews before a product has been released!

Somebody said recently they've been going through and deleting those types of posts. Not sure how often they do it, though. Many times I also wonder if people read the "how to use" section because many times you can tell just by reading that the bad experience was user error or using a product meant for one purpose for a completely different purpose *smh*
