Becca Champagne Collection Eye Colour Palette
Becca Champagne Collection Eye Colour Palette ($40.00 for 0.30 oz.) includes five neutral eyeshadows with two shimmery shades and three matte shades. All five were fairly blendable, pigmented, and easy enough to apply; this palette will be best for someone who likes warmer neutrals with semi-opaque, buildable coverage. It’s decent but not particularly impressive overall.
Chardonnay is a bright, yellowed white-gold with very high-shimmer content. The texture is denser and more silicone-like–almost feels like a cream–than other Becca eyeshadows I’ve tried (including the ones in this palette), so you might want to use a flatter, synthetic brush if you haven’t worked with the formula before (I used a Chikuhodo GSN-09 without issue, though). It had good pigmentation with a blendable consistency that sat well on the skin. This shade started to crease after seven and a half hours of wear on me.

Champagne Toast is a muted, medium copper-brown with warm undertones and a frosted sheen paired with some looser sparkly bits. The texture was somewhat dry and prone to sheering out; it reminded me of eyeshadows with more of a glittery overspray/overlay where the glitter doesn’t bind as well with the base color and tends to get everywhere. I had a fair amount of fall out initially, and then there was some more as it wore on. The eyeshadow color lasted for seven hours on me. theBalm Fit (P, $16.00) is warmer (95% similar).

See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
Cordial is a muted, medium pink-leaning mauve with neutral-to-warm undertones and a matte finish. It had a thinner, somewhat dusty texture that kicked up some excess and tended to sheer out. As a lid color, I would highly recommend a primer underneath, and as a transition shade, it was easier to work with as it built-up fairly well and blended out nicely. This shade lasted for seven hours on me before fading noticeably. Urban Decay Laced (DC, $19.00) is cooler (95% similar). Wet 'n' Wild Silent Treatment #1 (PiP, )(95% similar).

Cognac is a slightly muted, medium-dark brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. The consistency was soft, lightly dusty, but very blendable and buildable to opaque coverage, though it was more semi-opaque without layering it on. It lasted for eight hours on me before creasing. LORAC Black #4 (LE, $19.00) is more shimmery (95% similar). Sephora Hot Chocolate (LE, ) is darker (95% similar). Urban Decay Faith (PiP, $19.00) is lighter, brighter (95% similar).

Bordeaux is a dark, plummy brown with warmer undertones and a satin-matte finish. It had good color payoff, though not fully opaque, that applied well, blended out easily, and lasted for eight hours on me. LORAC Impress (LE, $19.00) is darker (95% similar).

I think the colors are really pretty, but this isn’t something I need.
I hear you, Rachel!
Hmm, looks like a mixed bag here!
It really is!
Hi Christine! I am just curious about “the world of you tube”. I’ve watched lots of channels and each one says how fabulous this palette is, a “must have”. That includes her other palette that includes the blushes. It seems like when each “you tuber” does a collaboration and the other channels view it, they all say how fabulous it is! Wondering if it’s the “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours” thing. I used to enjoy watching the videos but, for me, they all seem to blend together now, if that makes sense.
Hi Wendy,
I’m not really active on YouTube, so I’m not sure if anything has changed, but generally, it really just depends on the relationship between the person and the brand/collaborator. Some companies engage influencers via press samples, others provide samples and compensation, and some don’t provide anything (a reviewer purchases). From my experience, I’ve very rarely received a pitch or offer from a brand that actually states that it requires a positive review, but I do not receive many as most of my contacts are well-aware that I don’t accept compensation for reviews so I’m probably not the best to speak on that aspect of the community!
There are definitely some brands that will pay for positive reviews, or influence reviews in some other ways. (I recently got an offer for a “free” brush set that asked me to pay for the set, on the promise that after posting a positive review my money would be refunded. And of course some brands seek to discredit or harass people who post negative reviews.) But I think that also a lot of reviewers are (1) concerned with maintaining relationships and goodwill with brands and (2) influenced by the opinions of other reviewers, so that even if they’re not consciously posting a dishonest review they might be more apt to overlook issues with the product.
As pretty as this looks, and as pretty of an eye look you got using it, I won’t be buying this one. It’s just SO dupable that it’s ridiculous! That, and it only gets a B, make it very “meh”.
Thank you, Nancy! 🙂
I loved the idea of this palette, the colors as they look in the pan go well together. But I’m glad I ended up just ordering the face palette 😛
They do coordinate well!
Gorgeous palette! Too bad not all shadows are the same great quality, but still they’re all such pretty colours!
They could be better, especially the copper shade!
Too warm for me, but the eye look you did looks beautiful on you!
Thank you, Pami!
This collection looks terrific on you, but as others have stated, I’m taking a pass on this one. There are too many good palettes out there for spring/summer.
Thanks, Dina!
Interesting review! From what Jaclyn has stated, she came up with the color/level of sparkle for the Champagne Toast shade and Becca kind of worked the rest of the palette around it.
I don’t mind the shimmer or amount of sparkle, but I definitely wish it had more binder 🙁
What a shame that the namesake shade, which should be the star, turned out to be such a dud.
I wish it was better!
You have been so busy this weekend. I do hope you will get a chance to relax. Thank-you for the heads up on the Lorac Pro 3 palette which I ordered and is being shipped to me now. Thank-you also for your hard work.
Happy I could give you the heads up, Dena 😀 Hope you had a great weekend.
Gah.. I love the light gold shade, Chardonnay. It looks beyootiful on you. I’m all over pale golds these days. The rest of the palette is nice from a colour story perspective, but I feel pretty dupeable in my stash.
That was the really nice one in the palette!
I think the only one Jaclyn Hill actually had a hand in with this palette is the bronze one!
Anyway, all the YouTube review I saw about this palette said how amazing it was. I knew I should’ve waited for your review! I figured it’d be pretty dupable, but I missed out on the face palette, so it was a compensatory purchase for me… 🙁
Hopefully you love it anyway 🙂
I think I’ll still get some use out of it 🙂 I have a weakness for eye palettes!
It will be back online June 16th. Just make sure to mark the date. I guess it will be around 12PM or the very early morning(0:00) east time.
What a shame all the shades were not of equal quality. It looks very subtle and pretty on you Christine.
Thank you so much, Genevieve!
That’s a very pretty, warm colour on you, Christine!
Thank you, Claire!
Same old colors . Nothing outstanding in this palette .
They are definitely dupable!
Thank you so much for your honest review. Every YouTuber has been raving about this product. Then again they are using primers so I’m sure it definitely helps the shadow. I’m glad I waited. I’ll just swatch it in store. I have 4 dupes out of 5..so probably won’t be getting this. The only thing this palette has in its favor is how compact it is for traveling.
Yes, primer will definitely help perk it up a bit! 🙂
I saw swatches earlier and was only mildly curious to start.
The shades look lovely on you, Christine, as always.
Thank you, Tracey!
Oooooh so lovely! I already thought the swatches looked nice but then I saw the eye look and MAN! So pretty.
Awesome to hear!
Thanks a lot for this revieuw! I was really looking forward to this review but that will be an “easy” pass for me. Easy in the sense that at this price tag, I expect/want the shadows to perform better. Even though a good technique, proper tools and a primer can make up for it I consider that a eyeshadow palette is good when it is a no brainer.
It’s too bad because it would have been a nicely packaged and portable glam’ look but I’m sure I’ll find item to spend my money on hehe!
I’m with ya, Marie-Estelle! I’d rather it perform really well without extra effort/help, because it just makes it that much easier to apply regardless!
This palette reminds me so much of the Carli Bybel palette by BH Cosmetics. It has the same range of colors, but with 10 eyeshadows and 4 highlighters. I mean, the quality isn’t amazing but it’s a good dupe for under $15!
Thank you for the heads up, Kalli!
Thanks so much for your review. Once again, your honest and thorough review saved me money. I had planned to purchase this, but now I will pass.
You’re welcome, Nique!
I think I will pass on this. The colors aren’t special and I have many dupes. I was going to purchase this a few days ago and almost did but it became sold out while putting it in my Sephora cart. The matte products look dry and patchy.
Phew!
Too warm for me! Pretty though.
Seems to be the theme of the collection!
What a fabulous look on you, Christine! I bought this eyeshadow palette the minute it was available — no regrets. I love, love, love the new cheek palette, so if it’s even 1/3 as nice, it will be a hit for me. I’m sure it’s dupable, but I enjoy collecting. I think this will be great for travel and a quick eye look, esp. when I’m wearing the highlighters. I’m also a sucker for collaborations with YouTubers and bloggers; it’s really cool to see the cosmetics companies embrace them.
Thank you, Kim! I hope you enjoy your palette when you try it 🙂
I purchased it and can’t wait for it to get here to play with. I wish it would have scored better but I’m glad I will have it in my collection. I love the colors for an everyday “have no clue what I’m gonna do today” look. I also purchased the face palette, I don’t even like highlighters but I have a for real obsession with becca’s blushes. The eye look looks amazing on you, very pretty.
Thank you, Lisa! I think it can create a pretty look, and as long as you use primer, I’m sure you will enjoy it!
I like the colors but these are easily dupeable 🙂
Very true!
I’m glad I passed on this. Definitely not wowing me!
Phew!
I bought this even after reading your review – which for me, your reviews are typically spot-on. And this was no exception. When I got it I thought, ok, lovely little neutral and that is fine by me. But when I applied the shadows to my lid… meh. Champagne Toast is a fallout mess and the other shadows do not provide enough oomph to warrant keeping the pallet. So as much as I don’t like returning products, this one had to go back.
Thanks for consistently keeping your reviews very honest and true, you have saved me countless $ over the past few years. Why I thought I had to defy common sense this time, I’m not even going to try and rationalize.
smooch!
I’m sad to hear you had a similar experience such that it didn’t live up to your expectations 🙁 I am glad you are able to return it, though.
Thank you! 🙂
BECCA has (temporarily?) pulled the plug on this palette and it’s no longer being sold on Sephora. Why? Quality issues.
Yes, I saw!
Not sure if you know but Jaclyn announced that the palette is being pulled from the launch. The palettes were sent to another lab for the time crunch but the formula wasn’t up to par after that.
Yes, I saw!
I always come to your reviews. I love them.
Well it’s sad that you got the one from china. That’s why the eyeshadows didn’t swatch that good.
Thanks for letting me know!
