I have both and will swatch them tomorrow when there's daylight, unless someone else does it first. I agree w/Jenise---CG is veryyy yellow gold & WOG does not appear that way in the compact.

ahhhh darn!!! Well it's still pretty...ended up buying it anyway
I absolutely love all the becca highlighters...but I will be mwking the trip up north this weekend to purchasevthe kiko 208 which I know realky is almost an exact dupe..just thought maybe I could save myself the trip since it is an hour and 30 minutes away...but oh well what can ya do. Oh the struggles lol! I do have opal as well which I think may actually be more comparable than the champagne gold. I'd love to buy the real whisper of gilt but 300+ is just crazy!

Thank you all for this feedback! I want to try one of the Rose Golds but I don't know whether to try the pressed powder or liquid. I'm light-medium skintone (YSL BD50 which I think translates to about Mac NC30 if that helps).I totally agree the Rose Gold (both liquid and powder) ended up being too dark for me. I could have stuck with the powder version to make it work, but I know I would hesitate to reach for it. Opal and Moonstone work more effortlessly for me. The liquid Rose Gold will be perfect for darker skin tones though! It has a beautiful sheen to it.

I don't know, I might be going crazy lol.
Any other observations or opinions about powder vs liquid formulations? I have the liquid in Opal and I love it. Never tried any of the Becca powders previously.

I have it in my cart, and am also debating it. I have seen it in real life, and tried some shades. They are beautifully nude, and many are matte or satin, not sparkly, which i love....I really want it, I just have wayyyy too many neutral shadow palettes...but I reallllly want it.....the shadows seem like a smooth texture too.

I got it but returned it. for some reason they just melted right off after a couple of hours.
I ordered it and it should be here by Wednesday. Hoping it works for me!

Ohhhh let us know how it works out.. I really think I am going to order it too, even though Jol0 had a bad experience...
Although I despise my dry skin - it does help in regards to eye makeup staying in place all day..
Someone on YT said that it is an awesome palette.. and they said to skip the UD Naked Basics 2 palette and buy Becca's palette instead... sooooo I dunno.

I never bought these because there's just too much shimmer and not enough color but I love mixing Rose Gold Shimmering Skin Perfector with my foundation. Totally worth $41. Your skin will glow.I ordered 2 and they just arrived (Watermelon/Moonstone & Papaya/Topaz). Papaya/Topaz is quite pretty; W/M I'm not a fan of, and it's because of its mix with Moonstone. It's a pale gold that comes off as frosty on my dark skintone. I think if it had been a bit warmer like Opal or Topaz, I would've liked it a lot more, because the Watermelon Beach Tint is a lovely color. They are also lightly scented. I will take more pictures at home with my DSLR camera.
Here are some pictures (these are more pigmented/vibrant IRL, my phone is notorious for washing out colors):

Those are amazing! I'm going to end up buying a powder to go over the liquid just because they blend so well and I love highlighting!

Get the liquid if your wanting to mix it into your foundation. Get the powder if your just want to highlight. It's more convenient to get the powder to highlight because you won't have to wash your hands from blending the liquid. I think the powder blends just as well as the liquid but the powder can be built up much more.
As for foundations Becca has so many shade ranges so I'd definately check them out. My sister has neutral skin tone so undertones are usually too yellow or too cool. But she tried the Becca foundation and found an exact match to her face, neck, and body. An EXACT match. She's a miser but she's gonna shell out the cash for the color Mink without one regret.

I got the Becca Ultimate Color Gloss in Hummingbird (shown here) and Rose Gold Shimmering Skin Perfector (worn above mixed with foundation). I also got Malibu Punch and Strawberry Beach Tint. I'll post pics of those tomorrow. Hummingbird and Malibu Punch are being discontinued so pick them up while you can. My Sephora shipped their's back to the company already but they're still available online for a discount on Becca's site. I can say that the glosses are thick and moisturizing and last a super long time. I don't really have to touch them up unless I eat.

Thank you Sharee! I appreciate the advice
Both are so pretty I may end up getting both at this point. Also in case anyone wants more swatches here's a video swatch of the Champagne Gold and Rose Gold (powder & liquid). I've cued it to the point where she's about to swatch them. HTH! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFlnh9B_Xrk&list=UU5CLbqqdnKUzYNyS_kMbnIg#t=558

You're so pretty! I saw those lip glosses on hautelook a few months ago at a really good price but I didn't even think about the fact that they may have been there because they were being discontinued. If I see them on there again, I'll be sure to grab them up.
