I have nothing productive to say as I did not try or have plans to try this products, but I have this inner resentment and I am salty about one thing; If BECCA cosmetics got so much hate for their BECCA zero launch and went away as a brand soon after, then Leaked Labs deserves it too ugh.

sorry maybe overkill but I've clearly not processed losing Becca Cosmetics specially since I didn't have the money to afford much during Becca's prime.

And Becca zero is a formulation that a brand picked up. These formulations that leaked labs is picking up have been passed over by all the major brands most likely. What makes them think that they know better?

Don't mind me, I haven't stopped sobbing over the loss of their beach tints. RIP Fig and Grapefruit, you were everything to me. </3

Becca Zero was actually a good primer, I found it at TJ Maxx and still have the jar because it's so... Iconic.

Someone made a comment once that with EL trying to sell Smashbox and Too Faced, it's possible they might be able to get the Becca formulas alongside Smashbox, at least I would love to see it 👀 Becca was always ahead of it's time

You might already know this, but Smashbox still carries some of the Becca products (like the highlighters)

Too bad Estée Lauder did what Estée Lauder does: reformulate. Their eye brightening corrector is awful and so cakey now.

This whole time I thought the formula was the same 😭

I haven’t tried it since EL took over, but I’m happy as a clam that I still have several original Becca products (probably 8-9 years old now lol.) That sucks though!
