Wearing Becca Dragonfruit Beach Tint ($25)
It’s what I feed my dragon, and he lurves it. 
Dragonfruit. I don’t even know what that is. It sounds vaguely Asian and familiar, like something my friend Cindy’s grandmother tried to feed us back in the day.
I do know what a BECCA Beach Tint is, though, because I’ve been wearing them for years. Dragonfruit ($25) is a relatively new one from BECCA. Came out in the fall, and it’s made its way into their permanent line.
A multi-purpose poppy pink lip and cheek product (say that five times fast!), part blush, part lip stain, pure convenience, and it’s water-resistant, too.
Dragonfruit unblended on the left and blended on the right
The only downside I can see: you might not want to wear any other blush.
I love this color! It’s brightening, goes great with warm and cool eye makeup shades, and it doesn’t even require a brush to apply. Lazy girl love 
, to infinity and beyond!!
Oh, and it smells and tastes like Sweet Tarts. Faintly. Or maybe it’s Dragonfruit. I’m just not sure.
PRICE: $25
AVAILABILITY: Available now at BECCA counters and beccacosmetics.com

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
You make it sound so yummy! It looks really wearable despite being very bright. Definitely on my wishlist!

Awesome! You’ll love it.
It looks so pretty! I don’t even know if we can get BECCA here, but I want it.
How does it fare on lips? I find a lot of multipurpose cheek/lip products get complaints about being drying.
Hi Nicole,
It wears really well on the lips. Stays on for hours, even through a meal, and fades evenly. It’s non-drying, too.
I’m putting this on my wish list! It’s ADORABLE on you, and I do like the formula a lot
Sunny recently posted … Chanel La Favorite Rouge Allure Velvet Is an Instant Favorite!
Thanks, Sunny! I like the formula too.
I’ve tried two of these tints and for some reason I just don’t like the consistency or the smell. I prefer YSL creme de blush so much better.
Hi Marla,
Oh well! I guess they’re not for everybody.
I love this color! Will have to pick this up!
Hi Lilly,
I hope you do. Even though it was a fall launch, it should be fab for spring/summer.
Happy Thursday, btw! Any plans for the weekend yet?
Like everything else, this looks gorgeous on you! I’ve had this since Becca’s black Friday deal but haven’t had a chance to play with it. You just made me want to run home and put it on.

Oh and they really are waterproof! I wore them during a rafting trip and was still photo-ready right after.
Hi Chris,
Agreed! I bring the Beach Tints to Hawaii with me and they’re the only things I want to wear.
Hi Chris,
Oooh, what else did you get from the BECCA sale?
Peach and watermelon beach tints. Can’t get enough of them!
LOVE the Watermelon shade. It’s like my go-to color. You’ve gotta try their powder blushes too (if you haven’t already).
Eee, what a great Spring shade! I love how fresh this looks on you, Karen

Thanks, hon.
Found any great spring brushes lately?
That’s a beautiful color. I have never tried anything from Becca. Might have to give it a try.
Hi Agata,
They have lots of cool things, especially for cheeks. Their Damselfly blush is AMAZING!
I love the colour! I have two other ones from Becca, but to be honest, I am a little confused about the best way to apply them. Any tips?
Hi Danielle,
I use my fingers to pat and blend onto cheeks and lips. I usually wear ‘em either on bare skin, or on top of tinted moisturizer or foundation.
Another product to check out from the Becca line ~ yeah!

You’ll love it, Monica!
I loveeee that color on you. Even though is a very light/natural look, it looks so pretty! I need to check that Beach tint ASAP
Hi Sofie,
Thanks! I hope you check them out!
This is one of the best blush I’ve seen. Swatch looks so pretty. I need this!
Sarah
Hi Sarah,
You do! Hope you’re having a nice week.
Karen, you look absolutely gorgeous in these pictures! And Dragonfruit looks totally effortless. Are you wearing any highlighter in these pictures? Your skin has got a great, natural glow going on
Thanks, Jules. No highlighter — just the new NARS Translucent Crystal Light Reflecting Setting Pressed Powder. Review coming soon!
Girl-you have found your color! That stuff looks fabulous on you. Perfection!
Thanks, Susan. Hope you give this color (and maybe some other Beach Tint shades!) a try soon. They’re fab.
Happy (almost) Friday!
I have one of these and I want to love it, but every time I go to use it, it has separated in the tube and all of the oil comes shooting out all over the place. Do you think I might have gotten a defective one?
Hi Sneha,
Have you tried shaking the tubes first? That should help with any separation issues.
I love the color, it’s so pretty and fresh!

Hi Marina,
Please tell me you have the Watermelon shade! It’s the best.
Hmm I don’t hear so much buzz about Becca products very often but they seem to have a consistently quality line from what I can gather online. And you’re right, Dragonfruit is Asian! They’re a really bright shade of fuschia; I remember thinking how pretty the color was when they stained my fingers as a kid.
It’s a cactus, right? Somebody on twitter sent me a pic today…it looks really yummy.
Ahh another Beach Tint to add to the list. I really need to collect them all!

You should, they’re awesome!
Well, I took the plunge and got this one and the Watermelon tint. Was debating on the guava tinted one. Maybe, later. Wished they still sold the strawberry tint since the swatches online looked like a beautiful orange based red color.
Tried dragonfruit the last time I was in Thailand. It looked so pretty. I had to buy one from a sidewalk vendor. I was so disappointed to discover that it doesn’t have an exotic taste. It tastes like water. I was told people usually eat it if they’re on a diet.
Hi Wendy,
I hope you like them! Let me know what you think once you give ‘em a try.
What a gorgeous color! Love how it looks on your cheeks!

Thanks!
I love the way that looks on you! I’m not a fan of gel tints for the cheeks though, hmmm…
Jennifer recently posted … Testtube – Winter 2013 Edition
What is it about gels on cheeks that you don’t like, Jennifer?
Looks pretty on you! reading this made me run to sephora first thing in the am yesterday but too bad they sold out already.
I’ve never used becca before, Karen n tabs, what other products and shades would you recommend from them for an asian light skin girl? (I use light in smashbox bb cream or 020 in dior nude liquid foundation). Thank you
