Product Review- Pacifica Alight Multi-Mineral BB Cream

Pacifica Alight Multi-Mineral BB Cream Review


From the Brand: 
Think sheer moisturizing tint with benefits.  A true multitasking miracle that hydrates, primes, illuminates, and perfects leaving a sheer bare skin finish.  Specialized mineral pigments that instantly adjust to your skin shade allows one color to work for many.  The sheer application can be built up for just the right amount of coverage.  In addition, this amazing BB Cream formula contains high performance anti-aging botanical ingredients that revive and re-mineralize skin for a natural glow. Your skin will look natural, dewy, youthful and radiant without looking like you are wearing heavy make-up.

What you should also know: Don't expect this to be a heavy foundation.  This is more close to a tinted moisturizer leaving you with a natural finish.



Retails for:  $16.00


Where to Buy:  Pacificaperfume.com, Select Target stores


My Thoughts:  I wish this came in more colors.  I love the finish of this BB cream.  It has a very soft glow to it, almost like a luminizer but not as shimmery.  I'm so pale in the winter that it was too dark for me.  It tinted my skin just enough to look almost dirty.  I definitely can't wear it on it's own without some foundation over it to bring my color back to normal, which kind of defeats the purpose of the BB cream.  I'm not one of those people who use a BB cream as a moisturizer.  There really isn't a whole lot of pigment to it, so if you're looking for coverage I'd go elsewhere.  But if you're fair skinned, you do need to get a different brand, too.  Not sure if it would be enough to wash out a darker skinned person or not.


Final Verdict:  It will be time for a retry and probably follow up post this summer when I have some sun and get little tanner.  But the finish is great, it feels nice on my skin, and it gives some hydration.

Retails for:  $7.00


Where to Buy:  Pacificaperfume.com, Select Target stores


My Thoughts:  These aren't my absolute favorite tinted lip balms ever, I'll be honest.  The color is sheer and muted, but looks more like you've worn your lipstick off rather than looking like it's "supposed" to be a sheer lipcolor.  And the formula can feel a little gritty. 

At first I was so in love with these, having a few colors I picked up individually from Target this summer.  However, I found that after about an hour, my lips felt parched and in need of more product.  But the color was still there, and if I layered more on top of it, it just didn't look right.  Overall, I was pretty disappointed in them.

They do have a very pretty color when you first apply them and smell great, so I'll give them that.  $7.99 isn't that expensive, but I'd rather buy a sheer gloss or a cheaper Chapstick layered over lipliner for the same effect.


Final Verdict:  Didn't live up to my expectations after the first application.

Retails for:  22.00


Where to Buy: Pacificaperfume.com


My Thoughts:  Did you see yesterday's post about the Pacifica Good Karma Skincare Set?  Well, they have another set as well that gives you a taste of what their makeup products are like here with the Wanderlust Beauty Set.  Both kits contain their Alight BB Cream, so you can even out your skin, as well as one of their Color Quench Lip Tints.  This beauty kit also contains two eyeshadows, one in a gorgeous golden brown and one in a soft sea foam color.

The quality of these products is very good for a relatively inexpensive all natural brand.  I love that all the makeup products you buy from them is good for your skin.  The packaging is super cute and a lightweight yet sturdy plastic.  The lip tint is slim and fits easily in your purse.  They have just enough color that is between a stain and a lipstick, with hydration and yummy scent.  The color Sugared Fig is a nice deep plummy color that's great for someone who wants a fall lip color without the heavy pigmented commitment of a lipstick.

The eyeshadows come in a nice screw top case with a clear window, so you can see what the color looks like.  The golden brown is super pigmented while the sea foam green is a bit sheerer.  The formula of the eyeshadows is very velvety and glides over the skin nicely, and they both have a good amount of sheen to them. They aren't sparkly or too "young" looking, but they aren't matte either.  I found that they wear nicely throughout the day without fading, although I did wear them over either a cream shadow or an eyeshadow primer.  I've been wearing the golden brown shade with a soft pink and a deep burgundy in the crease, and I've gotten so many compliments!

I haven't worn the BB cream yet, but I'll be doing an in depth review of that product coming up soon hopefully. 


Final Verdict:  I'm in love with these eyeshadows and will be looking for more of them!  I'm already a fan of the lip tints, and I can't wait to try the BB cream. Overall, it's a fantastic value!

Product Review- Pacifica Good Karma Skincare Set

Pacifica Good Karma Skin Care Set Review


From the Brand: 
Travel sizes of our new skin care line in a beautiful and giftable box. A great way to experience our new, highly effective skincare line. What else do you need to know?  Experience truly effortless natural beauty with Pacifica’s incredible skincare formulas.
Set contains:
1 Sea Foam Complete Face Wash .7 oz (travel-size)
1 Dreamy Youth Day and Night Cream .7 oz (travel-size)
1 Alight Multi-Mineral BB Cream .34 oz (travel-size)
1 Guava Berry Color Quench Lip Tint (full-size)


Retails for:  $22.00


Where to Buy:  Pacificaperfume.com


My Thoughts:  I recommend this skincare set if nothing else for the travel size of the Sea Foam Complete Face Wash {review here}.  That's not really going to give you a great value since the full size of the face wash is only $11, but you get the idea about how great it is.  This set is a fantastic way to experience a variety of products by the Pacifica line though.  In addition to the face wash you get a travel size moisturizer and a travel size BB cream, so you're skin will be looking great wherever you go.  It cleans, hydrates, and evens your skin tone in three portable steps!  The Color Quench Lip Tints were actually the very first products by Pacifica that I ever bought months ago, and Guava was one of the colors I already had.  But it's nice to have a back up now for when that one is finished.  They are hydrating and provide a nice wash of color, and they smell delicious!


Final Verdict:  If you're looking to try out a variety of products for your skin by a great all natural line, this is the way to go.  If one product isn't 100% perfect for you, you haven't bought the full size and still have other items to make it worth it for you.  Whenever trying out a new line, I always try to get a set of some kind to get a feel for their products.

Product Review- Pacifica Sea Foam Complete Face Wash

Pacifica Sea Foam Complete Face Wash Review


From the Brand:  Harness the power of the ocean with marine extracts.  Coconut water and natural actives come together in our gentle sulfate-free foaming cleanser that removes daily toxins and make-up. Deeply cleanse, balance and refresh tired skin. Remember, one of the best defenses against aging skin is daily cleansing.  5 oz.


Retails for:  $11.00


Where to Buy:  Pacificaperfume.com, select Target locations


My Thoughts:  I got this in a skincare set (blog on that next week) and tried it out right away.  I'd seen the full size tube at Target before and reading the back had me intrigued to try it.  I always struggle with finding a face wash that will cleanse my skin deeply enough to keep the pores clear without over stripping it and causing my dryness to become worse.  After my new-found love of coconut oil back this spring, seeing coconut water as a main ingredient made me think this would be a good fit for me.

I'm really loving the way this cleans my skin as well as the way it smells.  It's amazingly scented.  I can't even begin to describe it.  It's sweet yet refreshing at the same time, and not in a sickly sweet overpowering kind of way.  And you can tell it comes from natural ingredients, not made from a bunch of crap with chemicals added to give it a smell. 

Just a dab will do you now.  It really foams up a lot!  It doesn't leave my skin feeling dry or tight, so the claims that it tones this skin I think are fairly accurate.  Overall, I really like this and will be taking it with me to the iFabbo Social Media Conference this weekend.  (This is set to post on Saturday, while I'm at the conference, so I'm writing it on Wednesday.)  Follow along with me on my Instagram as I attend the conference!


Final Verdict:  The trial size in the kit is perfect for travel, and so far I'm loving the feel and smell of this face wash.  Only time will tell if it's worth the full size, but for now I'll be using up every last drop!
