So we have finally reached the end of my trilogy of Cargo Beach Blushes. The final shade I have is Echo Beach which is perhaps is my favourite of the bunch but that may be altered as I am so tempted to order the last two shades of the range, so so tempted or perhaps I should venture into the individual shades...argh!
Yet again like the other Cargo Beach Blushes this is packaged in the industrial style metal tin, I dislike the bulkiness and feel of such tins and do plan to de-pot each shade into a freedom palette.
If like me you want to depot these blushes I'd like to add that these de-pot very easily without heat or excessive force, which might please you to learn.
Echo Beach is a fairly deep toned quad of shades with each shade being shimmer based, like the previous cargo blushes they do have a reoccurring theme of bronze tones but this particular shade has added rosy pink tones thrown in the mix too. Once again this is a warm toned blush palette but with the right application anyone could sport this. As I have pointed out before each shade can be used individually if you have a small brush and they can be used in a multitude of ways i.e. cheeks, eyes etc.
Each shade is pigmented quite highly and feels soft to the touch. I suffered very little fall out when swatching and applying this blush. Once all four shades have been combined the end result is a mid toned bronze pink shade that gives the effect of a day in the sunshine without the skin damage.
I really like shades such as Echo Beach as they give a slight bronze effect without ever looking muddy,which is great for those that struggle with bronzer. The overall result is a lovely healthy flush of colour that does not require any building up.However if you are darker skinned you can build this shade up without the worry of it caking. Although the blush has a shimmer finish it does not highlight any skin faults and when wearing the shade I did not feel the need for a highlighting product. Like I always say I do believe that wear of blushes is circumstantial
but I found this to last all day with the aide of a primer.
Product Summary
Round Up - A quad of warm sun kissed blush shades that are all slightly pink in tone.
Best For - Those who like rosy bronze toned blushes.
Pigmentation - (8/10) Really good and it should show up with ease in most skin tones and types.
Great review and thanks so much for the swatches. I adore any and all blushes/bronzers but something that is pigmented and shimmery means I have to have it.
