Apothica $25 Gift Certificate Giveaway plus Review!

I am so excited to share a wonderful new site with all of my readers! The website is Apothica and it offers name-brand cosmetics and beauty products at a reasonable price. Its fantastic to be able to get the products I love at such affordable prices from the comfort of my home! Any time I run out of something, I can simply head over to Apothica and order what I need, no hassles of getting dressed and trying to go shopping with little Abby’s help.

Of all the amazing products Apothica offers, I was most excited to find BECCA Cosmetics! I absolutely love the BECCA Skin Perfecting Makeup System. This is a simple three step system designed to correct, perfect and enhance the complexion. This system allows me to choose the level of coverage and finish that is just right for me and with over 34 shades of concealer, BECCA is able to exactly match any complexion.

With all the bright sunny days and warm weather, I decided to look into a foundation that not only helped my complexion but that would also help protect my skin.
BECCA has the perfect product: BECCA Cosmetics Mineral SPF Primer. BECCA Cosmetics Mineral SPF Primer works under your foundation, give you a smoother, silkier application and a level of SPF 30 protection. It leaves a matte finish and actually allows your makeup to become water-resistant. Protecting my skin from harmful UV rays is extremely important and being able to have that protection while wearing my foundation is exactly what I want/need. This product is definitely a must have for me!

Another amazing product I came across was the BECCA Cosmetics Luminous Skin Colour. An anti-aging treatment, moisturizer, illuminator, and sunscreen all-in-one, BECCA Cosmetics Luminous Skin Colour envelops your skin in glowing moisture, while providing sheer coverage, sun protection of SPF 25+ and antioxidant benefits.

BECCA Cosmetics is ideal for a busy mom like myself, so many wonderful cosmetic products that will not only help me feel beautiful but will also help me protect my skin and keep it healthy! Apothica offers all of the BECCA Cosmetics I’m looking for along with many other great products. No matter what make-up you’re looking for, whether its a new product you’re interested in trying or a product that is a main part of your daily beauty routine, Apothica carries it at great prices! Some other fabulous brands Apothica carries are NARS, Too Faced makeup, Oscar Blandi, and more!
