Becca Halcyon Days Collection

E'er since Sephora stopped carrying Becca, the line'south been harder to discover than Kevin Federline (remember when homeboy was all over the place?!).

Wait — did I merely use the words "Kevin Federline" and "Becca" in the same sentence? Wow. That's gotta be a get-go. The line has admittedly nothing in mutual with M-Fed. It brings to heed fresh, easy makeup looks, luxurious textures and classy packaging. And that'southward not classy with a "One thousand." 🙂

Today when I saw these promotional pictures for Halcyon Days, Becca's new 10-slice collection for spring, my innards actually quivered! My love for warm, summery corals, pinks and bronzes runs deep, and I've been hoarding colors like these for years. The release, with products for eyes, cheeks, face, lips and nails, launches this spring at Henri Bendel stores and select beauty boutiques (prices range from $25-sixty each).

Isn't the name, Halcyon, an interesting word? Manifestly, it'south Greek for the kingfisher bird, only I don't recall the bird, with its blue plumage, inspired the drove. The discussion as well means idyllically calm and peaceful — fitting words to describe the colors in Halcyon Days.

Looking at these pics and the promo shot upward top, it looks like the kind of wearable, easy makeup I might clothing to a mellow brunch with the girls or a lazy weekend picnic in the park.

Becca Halcyon Days Collection for Spring 2011

• Beach Tint in Guava ($25) — This new entry in Becca's line of multi-purpose, water-resistant foam stains for lips and cheeks is described as a fresh coral pink with a delicious guava aroma.
• Mineral Bronzer/Illuminator in Serrana ($25) — An illuminating powder duo designed to give a warm shimmer to the peel.
• Mineral Pulverization Blushes in Flower Kid and Halycon ($32 each) — Infused with fine particles of micro-shimmer, these 2 pulverization blushes requite cheeks a subtle glow. Pinkish orange Flower Kid has golden highlights, and Halcyon is a just a pretty coral.
• Automatic Eye Pencils in Goa and Majorca ($23 each) — The way Becca describes Goa, the first of these two new pencil liners, makes my tummy rumble. It'south a bronzy chocolate, and Majorca is an intense black. Both are supposed to be highly pigmented, long-wearing and waterproof. They also come with a built-in sharpener and a sponge tip for smudging.
• Nail Colours in Tangerine Dream, Dancing Barefoot and Summerdaze ($15 each) — Coral's the name of the game with Tangerine Dream (a bright coral), Dancing Barefoot (an apricot) and Summerdaze (a pinkish coral). I can't wait to requite these a attempt. They're supposed to be intensely pigmented and have a quick-drying formula and a super glossy finish. All good things. Oh, and they're formaldehyde, toluene camphor and di butyl phthalate-free (say that five times fast, LOL!).
• Halcyon Days Palette ($65) — An exclusive to the Henri Bendel Fifth Avenue store in New York City. The luxury retailer but started conveying the line (which will shortly exist bachelor at all Henri Bendel locations in the U.S.), and to gloat, Becca created this five pan palette of lip and centre products.
