CARGO BeachBlush in Tenerife, $25.60 CDN @ CARGO.ca
Reason for Purchase
I really enjoy CARGO products, especially their BeachBlush products.
Notable Features
A BeachBlush is a powder product that can be used either as a blush or bronzer. It’s made up of four stripes of colors (typically different shades of the same color) that you can either blend together and apply, or you can just wear one of the stripes.
What sets Tenerife apart from the rest of the BeachBlush collection is that it’s matte.
Packaging
This product comes in a round tin. The word ‘CARGO’ is stamped into the lid (it’s a lift off lid - no twist-off lid). The shade name is on a sticker affixed to the bottom of the tin.
I like the CARGO packaging because it’s very clean and doesn’t take up ton of room (unlike square or rectangular packaging). The downside to this packaging is the lid - it just lifts off, which can be a downside if this product is just floating around in a makeup bag, purse, or suitcase - the lid might pop off.
Experience Using Product
Tenerife is a half coral, half bronze powder. What I like about this is the fact that when the color is blended, it looks neither muddy nor oompa-loompa on my skin. I use a big powder brush and blend all four stripes together when I want to wear this as a bronzer; if I’m using it as a blush I’ll do the same thing but with a blush brush, or sometimes I just blend the two coral stripes and use that as a blush.
I bought this in early spring (February or March...I can’t remember) and found it hard to wear then, because it was still very white and wintery out. Now that it’s sunny and the world is colorful again, this product is seeing much more use.
Would I Re-Purchase, Recommend, or Reject
Of all the BeachBlush shades available, this one is probably one of the safest to wear - and for that reason I recommend it to you. This will also be a great product for you if you’re looking for a matte bronzer with an equal balance of coral and brown tones to it.
I would certainly re-purchase this product; however, I doubt I will have to! You get a lot of product in the pan!
