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.
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
Teri says
You make it sound so yummy! It looks really wearable despite being very bright. Definitely on my wishlist!
Karen says
Awesome! You’ll love it. 🙂
Nicole says
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.
Karen says
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.
Sunny says
I’m putting this on my wish list! It’s ADORABLE on you, and I do like the formula a lot 🙂
Karen says
Thanks, Sunny! I like the formula too.
Marla says
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.
Karen says
Hi Marla,
Oh well! I guess they’re not for everybody.
Lilly says
I love this color! Will have to pick this up!
Karen says
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?
Chris says
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. 😉
Chris says
Oh and they really are waterproof! I wore them during a rafting trip and was still photo-ready right after.
Karen says
Hi Chris,
Agreed! I bring the Beach Tints to Hawaii with me and they’re the only things I want to wear.
Karen says
Hi Chris,
Oooh, what else did you get from the BECCA sale?
Chris El says
Peach and watermelon beach tints. Can’t get enough of them!
Karen says
LOVE the Watermelon shade. It’s like my go-to color. You’ve gotta try their powder blushes too (if you haven’t already).
Rae // theNotice says
Eee, what a great Spring shade! I love how fresh this looks on you, Karen 🙂
Karen says
Thanks, hon. 🙂 Found any great spring brushes lately?
Agata says
That’s a beautiful color. I have never tried anything from Becca. Might have to give it a try.
Karen says
Hi Agata,
They have lots of cool things, especially for cheeks. Their Damselfly blush is AMAZING!
danielle says
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?
Karen says
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.
Monica P says
Another product to check out from the Becca line ~ yeah!
Monica
Karen says
You’ll love it, Monica!
Sofie - Little Makeup Face says
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 😀
Karen says
Hi Sofie,
Thanks! I hope you check them out!
Sarah says
This is one of the best blush I’ve seen. Swatch looks so pretty. I need this!
Sarah
Karen says
Hi Sarah,
You do! Hope you’re having a nice week.
Jules says
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 🙂
Karen says
Thanks, Jules. No highlighter — just the new NARS Translucent Crystal Light Reflecting Setting Pressed Powder. Review coming soon!
Susan says
Girl-you have found your color! That stuff looks fabulous on you. Perfection!
Karen says
Thanks, Susan. Hope you give this color (and maybe some other Beach Tint shades!) a try soon. They’re fab.
Happy (almost) Friday!
sneha says
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?
Karen says
Hi Sneha,
Have you tried shaking the tubes first? That should help with any separation issues.
gio says
I love the color, it’s so pretty and fresh!
Karen says
Thank you, Gio!
Marina(Makeup4all) says
This shade looks very refreshing on you, I love Beach Tints, have several myself.
Karen says
Hi Marina,
Please tell me you have the Watermelon shade! It’s the best.
Selena says
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.
Karen says
It’s a cactus, right? Somebody on twitter sent me a pic today…it looks really yummy.
Becca @ The Beauty Sample says
Ahh another Beach Tint to add to the list. I really need to collect them all! 😀
Karen says
You should, they’re awesome!
Wendy says
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.
Karen says
Hi Wendy,
I hope you like them! Let me know what you think once you give ’em a try.
Ankita@corallista says
What a gorgeous color! Love how it looks on your cheeks!
Karen says
Thanks!
Jennifer says
I love the way that looks on you! I’m not a fan of gel tints for the cheeks though, hmmm…
Karen says
What is it about gels on cheeks that you don’t like, Jennifer?
Annie X says
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 🙂
jihan says
hi! i have olive skin, which do you think will create a better natural sun-kissed look: lychee or dragonfruit? 🙂 thanks!
