Cargo Blush--Key Largo

Today's offering from Cargo is Key Largo.  It is a lovely, bu unique color and rather hard to describe.  I'd say it's a coral-rose red.  Here's how it looks in the pan:


I really love the bright color!  It's even brighter IRL than it is on my monitor.  Hopefully you get a clue to the real beauty of this blush.  On my skin, I'd call it a bright pink-coral and I think it would work for almost anyone.  However us pale girls will want to apply it with a very light hand so we don't look slapped/sunburned.  Here are the swatches--Key Largo is the darkest/brightest one in the middle:


The texture is heavenly, just like the rest of the Cargo blushes.  I see no shimmer in this one--it looks totally matte.  I love this blush for the brightness and uniqueness of it.  It really is a beauty.  Here's the group shot:


I'll be back tomorrow with Mendocino.  Thanks for reading! TTYL

Week 2, Day 3. DC'd and LE Blush--Pout Apricot Totty

Yay, today is the day for one of my favorite blushes (Do I say that everyday??).  It's Pout Apricot Totty--a gorgeous, bright, pinky-apricot.  When I was starting my blush obsession, Pout was just being DC'd and I was obsessed with finding this blush.  Luckily, I was able to add one to my collection, along with a few other gorgeous Pout blushes.  A little bit of Apricot Totty swept on my cheeks makes me feel and look like summer.  It's just so bright and cheerful that I can't help but smile when I see it.


AT (#3 in the swatches) is probably a little more pink than most Apricot blushes.  It's a beautiful mix of coral, apricot, and pink that looks great on most skin tones.  It's fairly pigmented and you only need a whisper to add a gorgeous summery glow.  Sadly, this has been discontinued for about 3 years. Maybe sometime in the future, I'll do a series on dupes for discontinued blushes. Sadly, this one will be hard to match.


Here's another look at this week's group.  Tomorrow is Chanel Nude JC.  Another lovely blush shot down in its prime.  See you tomorrow!
