CAT COSMETICS BEACH CHEEKS! GODDESS GRANNY!
Hello there, ladies! Goddess Granny here who was SO excited to get her first "Senior Discount" at the movies last Friday! (I got "carded" and was giggling like a loon at the ticket window).
I am pasty and proud...that is my mantra most days. I have tried spray on's, smear on's,andcome on's to no avail and with little hope of any color-deposit except some polka-dotted pores and sordid looking streaks.I am simply not meant to be tan in any way and have come to accept this fact.
Although I admire the "Goth Glam" look on many, it simply doesn't suit my lifestyle and I'm not sure my grandkids would think Mimi in black lipliner was that cool? Soooooooo.....I havefound a few "cheats" that allow me to look a bit "glowier" (is that a word? LOL!) withoutthe emotional distress and mess throughout the years but am always in search of perfection!
Oh...and let's NOT forget that any exposure to the sun (and that DOES include tanning beds)"ages"us all terribly and should be avoided at all costs,I'm serious here girls.
I have read about "Cat Cosmetics" here on Meg's and although good-intent has been there to order up a passle of products, I simply hadn't gotten to it yet. When I received a cute lil'compact from Cat Cosmetics to try I was delighted: nice small size, good little mirror, and a sassy gold cat on top. Pretty although rather bright coraly-orange-peach cream inside.Would it be too"Halloween-y" on me?
From Cat:"No matter what the weather, look like you've spent a fresh day in the sun with Beach Cheeks. This crème blush works great on bare skin or over foundation and will give you a sun-kissed glow." Can I just say this woman (Catherine Hickland) is sooooo STINKIN' GORGEOUS it isn't even fair?
I apply my "I can't live without this anymore" Boots #7 foundation on (see my profile) and every lil' yuckie is covered and smooth so I'm ready to dip into this lil' pot...very creamy, very nice consistancy...dab a bit on my cheeks and WOW! Almost no blending needed and I look GREAT! Gives a believeable "glow" to my cheeks so I hit up the bridge of my nose and temples...looking a LOT less pasty and nicely glowing at this point! The product totally made my entire face come alive and the looked completely "natural" (not a big fan of that word,HA!) and polished with a heck of a lot more "sun-kissed" color than usual! Lasted most of the day and even my husband noticed that I looked like I just had great sex.
Can't say enough about this very reasonably priced product: portable and chic and I think it would work well on any/all skintones. It looks much brighter in the compact but I've found that the "brighter blushes" DO work better as a rule.The shade is just fabulous on, it DOES make one look younger and fresher, and envokes that perfect Summer day on the beach in Malibu we all wish we were having right now...
This one from Cat is a winner for me, hands down!

I love everthing I have tried from CAT, so I may give this a whirl too! Thanks for the great review!
i have loved all my cat cosmetics i have ever ordered. so this might be added to the laundry list of products i want to try! carol b
I have never tried this blush, however I have bought lip gloss and bronzer from Cat cosmetics and have been very happy with it, I love her products! After your review I may have to give it a try!
I've loved all the Cat products I've tried. To me, though, a powder blush is a powder blush. Pretty much all the same. But I loved the reddish-orange-brown color -perfect for late summer glow.

this is a cream? what? in that case...i just retract my entire review then....

I checked back and mine was DEFINITELY powder. We must have gotten different products. So I un-retract my review.

I tend to shy away form cream blushes b/c I'm so prone to breakouts, but this color looks so pretty! I wonder if it's oil free? I do want to try it along with the smolder and panther eyeshadow! This line looks so beautiful and convenient!
Just to re- confirm...it IS a cream blush,not a powder...the one I got was very creamy and I'm positive thatif you have any problems,they will make it right,their customer service is outstanding! :)
I bought this blush a while ago and had to send it back as I thought it had dried out. When I got the second one, it was very dry like the first. I didn't bother to call Gillian (Cat's super assistant) about it. Because I felt the product was dry and I reluctantly can't make a recomendation based on the two I got. I, however, do believe that I got a product that was defective. I will give it a try again when I reorder other products.

I have emailed Gillion at Cat's Cosmetics with regard to the oil content. The ingredients were not listed on their site. I will post again when I find out & share the info with all!
I should go buy this... soon.... Since joining MMU I find my wallet size to be dwindling..
Another cosmetic brand discovery! I'm obsessed with blushes so this would be great to have!
I LOVE CAT Cosmetics!!! I want everything they have! :-)
A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.

This color is like Nars Orgasm...on crack!
It gives you such a great glow from within and looks like it should work well with all skintones.
