Cargo Beach Blush in Sunset Beach

today is about Cargo Beach Blush in Sunset Beach. this was also part of my beautybay.com order when they had a 10%-off-code.
normally it costs 16£/18.80€ and contains 9g of product.
it comes in the familiar silver tin. the Beach Blushes are bronzer/blush hybrids with 4 stripes of different but harmonious shades which should "work together to provide perfectly flushed cheeks with a sun-drenched glow. Golden Goddess effects in a flash!". from using my Beach Blushes, i can only agree! i really appreciate their refined and never greasy shimmer which gives a great radiant effect and doesn't emphasize too much on uneven skin.
Sunset Beach contains:

• a warm peachy pink with white shimmer, this has a fine texture and applies quite sheer
• an orangey bronze with gold shimmer, the shimmer is pretty apparent with this
• a cool toned candy-pink with gold shimmer and pink sheen, it's quite sheer
• a peachy gold with gold shimmer and sheen, almost frosty but with very fine shimmer. it's the softest of the 4 stripes but also the most powdery one.

all shades mixed together give a rosey tan shade with really fine shimmer. again with this, you can't concentrate on each colour (but you can use an eyeshadow brush to apply it to your eyes - oh, great idea, i'll have to try!!! would be a great colour coordinated look to use the bronzey shades of the Beach Blushes as eyeshadows.) but you could emphasize on each half with a smaller blush brush to get a more bronzey (first two stripes) or more pinky result (last two stripes). i prefer to swirl them altogether for a subtle warm flush. as i have mentioned few times before, the Beach Blushes have a waxier texture and are less finely milled than the normal blushes (esp. the matte blushes have a great texture), but this doesn't affect application negatively. it applies evenly and blends out easily. it doesn't look too greasy (even not at the end of the day, although i have oily skin) but has a beautiful glowing finish with a sheer but buildable colour effect, while building it up also doesn't make you look like a grease ball, but makes you look more dewy. you know how you can sometimes look very dull right after setting your foundation with powder? putting on a bit of these Beach Blushes will bring life and dimension back to my face instantly, and especially Sunset Beach is a great versatile shade.
so although it's shimmery (and i usually avoid too much shimmer for work), i really love to use it as a pick-me-up these days for a healthy sheen in the early hours. i feel much more summery and awake after my blusher ;)
