The BlushBeam (Bloom Beam) from POPBeauty easily manages to add extra glow towards your features, but appears to be missing a crucial part of its concept: the blush. While the product manages to express its “beam” aspect perfectly, it falls short in color and pigmentation. Ulta describes it as:

“Unique cream-to-powder radiance catching cheek colour palette. These rare hues will sculpt your cheekbones and add the healthiest touch of radiance to the skin. Beams of face brightening hues create a natural flush for a fabulous skin finish. Formula is packed with pure silky pigments for lasting color and lit-up POP-perfection!”

Excuse me, what color?

First Impressions: The packaging of the product isn’t extravagant by any means, but it’s somewhat charming. I was already in love with the colors at first glance, immediately drawn to the bright yet natural-looking colors. My thoughts immediately revolved around the versatility of these colors. Oh, and it comes with a cute little application brush which obviously isn’t ideal (it’s rather thin and feeble) but at least usable.

Performance: I took some swatches of the shades and came to a single conclusion: the color had somehow escaped from the palette. Observing the samples I’d picked up on my fingers, I noted that there wasn’t much contrast between the colors. As a matter of fact, they all appeared to just shimmer. Beautifully though, I should add. Aside from the missing tints, I managed to enjoy other aspects of the product including its even finish and smooth application. (The photo above shows some swatches of the shades, they are incredibly similar.)

Overall: If I were to recommend this product to anyone, I’d refer to it as a gorgeous highlighter or luminizer, rather than a blush. My heart still yearns for the colors that could have been in this palette. The shades shone magnificently, but the lack of pigments was pretty disappointing.

Rating: 2/5

Bunnies, flowers, candy - there’s a bunch of happy things that you can receive that would make your life a bit sweeter, but there’s nothing quite like cupcakes. Though this particular one from Etude House is more likely to make your face sweeter, rather than your tummy. But either way the Sweet Recipe Cupcake All Over Color looks to be a treat for your eyes.

I’m not one for lip gloss usually, though somehow, they’ve made it into my makeup stash anyhow for those special occasions. Sometimes you just need that extra bit of shine that will really make your lips stand out and when that time comes, you also want it to last. CARGO’s Long Wear Lip Gloss looked like a fun contender to try out, especially since the last item I tried from them wasn’t too bad More »

For the most part, we all want what’s best for our lashes, and the best usually involves thickness, length, and curls. And while, you could look for the best in each category, if a product pops up that offers all three in one, that cuts the search short, at least for now. With Cargo’s Triple Action Mascara stepping up to bat, let’s see if it’ll score or strike out. More »
