Cargo Suede Blush Sunshine Coast

I received this blush from a giveaway by the lovely Amy Naree. Thank you so much my dear!


Name: Cargo Suede Blush Sunshine Coast
Price: US$ 24 for 12 g
MUA rating: 4.0

Description: A unique, multi-colored, patterned blush combines a mixture of three blush colors pressed into one tin.

When combined with a blush brush, the three colors create one harmonious and easy-to-wear shade that is both blendable and buildable for foolproof color application every time. The ultra sheer, lightly opalescent color gives the skin a translucent glow rather than a heavy, overly shimmery look and the oil-free formula is suitable for all complexions.

Closeup~


Packaging: Sunshine Coast is housed in a tin can. I don't own anything packaged in this way, all of the blushes that I own come in plastic compacts.

Colour: A mixture of vibrant pink, warm gold and neutral pink. I get a light pinkish coral shade with a silvery shimmer when I swirl these three shades together.


Texture: It feels very nice and smooth. I don’t understand why most of the reviews in MakeupAlley.com said that Sunshine Coast doesn't have much colour payoff! It IS pigmented!!!

On my cheeks~


This blush is oil-free so that's a plus for my combination skin =] I would love to try the other colours, especially Montebello. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately for my wallet =P) Cargo isn’t available in Malaysia.

The blush looks gorgeous on you, sweetie! I love that it's oil-free. Amy rocks!

FriendzCentury said...

I haven't seen Cargo blushers sold in HK either, this is a very pretty shade you. On another note, I've finally munched through the Plum Soda Kit Kat's and they're delish'.

miss wiggle said...

Goorrrrgeous! I love how it turns the perfect baby peach color on you.

Happy Thanksgiving! .... wait, is Thanksgiving a holiday in Malaysia??

Happy Holiday Season! ;P

Hi Blair!

I'm glad you like the Cargo blush!! The color looks so cute on you. I have oily skin as well and this blush suits it perfectly. So far I own 3 blushes from them and love them all.

Thanks for the shout out! Have a good weekend sweetie ^__*

the blush looks nice on you! but it's quite pricey for a blush.

Babybubblz said...

Pretty pink! I like the unique packaging as well, looks like candy might be inside too hehe.

adin_22 said...

that's is such a pretty blush on you!!

RicAdeMus said...

To me, make-up is like all of the many fine the ingredients that go into a great meal. I don't know anything about them, but I really do appreciate the results! =)

izumi said...

that's a super pretty color on you! ^__^

Jian said...

It is quite cool being in a tin! =D

It looks quite pale though, I think it must be because you're pale too that it shows up?It's quite pretty though!

Carine said...

sunshine coast : even the name of it is enticing ^^ But gosh, 24$..I wouldn't spend that much on a blush to be honest (maybe because I don't wear blush xD)

Tammy said...

So cute! I see hints of pink and coral even in the swatch. Thanks for sharing :]

Music said...

Cargo never really grab me somehow. The packaging reminds me of a cheaper version I saw years ago.

I assume your S'pore trip was fruitful? I really want to eat Mee Siam, Roti Prata, Rojak, etc. Whether from S'pore or M'sia doesn't matter, I WAAAAAANT! ^.^

AtelierGal said...

the blush looks so natural~ now you got me tempting :)

Jennifer said...

Blair, I have a few Cargo blushes and I love them equally!! they're very pigmented, although the tin packaging can be a little bit inconvenient to use/differentiate the colors without opening the tin, but it's great quality anyhow!

I wish our Sephora in HK carries Cargo, Tarte, UD, TF...etc

Daituf said...

Wow, that blush looks great on you!
It's also a very nice picture... when i take pictures, all colors gets washed out... I would have to load on until I look like a clown for blush to show up...

Sugar Bunnie said...

great colour♥ personally I would use it as a eye shadow

Blovet Beauty said...

That blusher color is very pretty... Its like a mixture of a few pinkish shades with some golden undertones. I think it looks pretty on U :)

xphoebelinax said...

Zoe said...

evie said...

Pop Champagne said...

cool! I have a cargo blush but I find it chalky, do you find that with yours? Maybe that's just the "oil free" working... HAHA yeah my friend and I always joke "I'm not a gold digger, I'm an investor" cuz really the point of marriage is to have twice the income and buy twice the amount of stuff?! no!? :D LOL

cLaRa711 said...

Marce said...

This blush is so pretty! Just the perfect peachy pink shade that I fall for over and over again...and it looks lovely on you!

acutelife said...

Im not so big on blush department so any blush that I saw I generally like it as long as it has a hint of pink on it lolz the cargo looks nice on your cheek, it freshen up the face..I just saw an orange blush and actually it turned out nice on the skin, very interesting! :D

ilyana said...

I've never tried any blush from CARGO but everyone seems to love it and now I can see why - that shade looks so pretty on you! Such a delicate shade of peachy pink <33~

Luna said...

I have this too!! love! I think Cargo is a pretty underrated brands.. they make pretty good stuff.. by which I mean the blushers.. lol..

Have u seen EP's website updated with the Spring collection?! Is it wrong for me to start lemming for all of them? lol..

evie said...

haha yeah!!! their blush looks very nice too!..feel like trying it! XD

Luna said...

hahaha my wallet is in hell.. level 14 le..

I will control myself for EP.. haha but def getting at least F-2 or F-3.. or both? lol..

I still waiting for see the combis for MQ.. maybe they'll be hideous? hahahah

Luna said...

Haha I still have love for both EP and MQ.. they're my most anticipated mid price range brands..

haha I am easily persuaded by pretty photos.. so right now F-2 is top of the list and F-3 is right behind.. F-4 not bad also.. hahahhahaha

Luna said...

wahahaha the banila co palette is really pretty good.. you shld get it from gmarket!

hahaha I shall wait for them to launch at metro and go haul during the 20%.. since they're not LE, no rush..

Luna said...

Oh tts too bad tt they don't ship internationally..

I nv noticed about concealors.. hahaha I'm too lazy to bother with them..

Clothes!! ooh winterish clothes sounds nice.. haha you know my answer is always BUY!!

Luna said...

hahahaha wear to air-con places.. my office for one is like winter country.. hahaha

Eh i nv bother with concealor doesn't mean i don't need it.. hahaha

Yup I'm heading across the causeway to JB City SQ tmr.. haha but not too early.. prob head in for lunch..

Marce said...

Hi Blair! Thanks for the visit =)
I really like MAC's Peachykeen, it reminds me of this colour. I don't have CARGO since it's not sold here, but I'll be sure to check it out if I ever visit!

Miss K. You said...

Blair, the blush gives a nice natural flush :) btw thanks for joining the giveaway! It's pretty upsetting that Shiseido isn't cruelty-free.. I am waiting to finish my moisturizers from them so that I can switch to something that is crueltyfree.. is Lancome and Maybelline part of L'Oreal? I don't try to buy any of those.. =\

Viva La Fashion said...

pretty! :D

Jennifer said...

Blair, I wrote a review for the Canmake concealer finally, lol!

Jennifer said...

thanks blair :)

do you mean Canmake is marked up higher in their prices compared to Japan?

I bought mine in japan but I don't think it's much cheaper to buy it there! Coz the JP currency keeps going up!

stellarvixen said...

good for daily use & touch up!

i like the way you line your eyes..
gotta try your way ;)
