Beauty Care: Bite Beauty Coconut Rum Daycation Whipped Blush Review & Swatches

Coconut Rum

Bite Beauty Coconut Rum Daycation Whipped Blush Bite Beauty Coconut Rum Daycation Whipped Blush ($32.00 for 0.33 oz.) is a light brown with warmer undertones and a pearly sheen. It had the finest pearl within the range, so it was easier to work with than others in the line, though it was still a drier formula that did not like to diffuse and blend out.

It had semi-sheer coverage, which didn’t really build up; the best way to get higher coverage was to over-apply product and barely blend it out, wait for it to dry, and then apply foundation on top to soften the edges as the dried down finish wasn’t that blendable without lifting up product and/or base products. It was very quick to dry, and it was fairly matte, so I would not have described it as a “natural-looking finish” as marketed. There were signs of fading after six hours of wear.

Formula Overview

$32.00/0.33 oz. - $96.97 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have a "natural-looking finish" with a whipped feel that is "non-cakey" and "lasts all day." The pigmentation was described as a "buildable flush," though it was more semi-sheer and hard to build up as the formula very quick-drying and harder to blend out/layer up without creating patchiness or lifting up the initial layer (or worse, one's foundation).

The pearl in each shade seemed too large, so they contributed to patchiness and the product moving around without adhering evenly. It was one of the harder cream blushes to use in more recent memory. They showed signs of fading after six hours on my cheeks.

I found the wide and squat squeeze tube to be harder to dispense product, often getting a lot of air and having to really squeeze to get product out... and other times, a barely-there squeeze dispensed more product than needed!
