Becca Beach Tint in Apricot on cheeks
Okay, so you know the Becca Beach Tints? Talk about makeup salvation for the lazy. They’re these multipurpose, oil-free, water-resistant creams for adding a hint of scented color to cheeks and lips. Not only are they easy to blend without streaks, but you can layer them beneath blushes, bronzers and lip gloss, too.
Tubes usually go for $25 a pop, but you can save a few bucks on them with the limited edition Becca Beach Tint Holiday Set ($63). It comes with three full-size Beach Tints in Watermelon (a pink from the permanent collection), Grapefruit (a coral from the permanent collection) and Apricot (a new limited edition peach).
And the scents are delicious! The Watermelon like watermelon, Grapefruit like grapefruit — you get the picture.

The Beach Tint Holiday Set’s expensive, but I could easily see these blushes becoming an every day staple because they’re so easy to apply and they stay on all day. If you’re the type of gal who’s always rushing out the door and you’re in the mood for a splurge, this could be the perfect excuse to treat yourself this holiday.

Do you do hats?
I was chatting with a friend the other day about how people usually fall into two camps: hat people and non-hat people.
I’m a hat person, but mostly for convenience. Hats hide my crazy town bangs while simultaneously keeping my head warm. The gray fedora above is my newest addition, which I snagged it at Forever 21 for $13 (!).
Which camp are you in?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
im a hat person during the winter … a cute hat cheers me up when its cold outside! 🙂
and im also a sucker for fruity scents! 😀
Hi Nina,
These tints are fruity in the BEST possible way — not too overwhelming or synthetic.
What’s your favorite winter hat?
i have this black knit cap that my best friend gave me last year — its a staple, to say the least! 🙂
Sounds cute! Plus black goes with everything. 🙂
true! 🙂
ill see if i can find a gray version of this cap too. i do love me some gray esp during the winter. or what passes for winter here — its hot today!
I love gray hats. I think they’re neutral enough to wear with everything too!
You’re so lucky for your nice weather. It’s freezing here today and rainy.
Interesting set of tints!
When I travel to cold climate, I would wear a hat/cap.
and that’s a nice fedora and for $13, it’s a steal! Forever 21 is pretty expensive here.
Hi Vonvon,
I picked it up on a whim and am so glad I did! I didn’t know Forever 21 was global…
I Want! Apricot looks fab on you!! I like to wear hats in the winter–cute berets or knitted hats.
Hi Cindy,
These are fabulous lil’ blushes. 🙂 As for hats, I’m a big fan of the knitted ones too!
How do you apply these to your cheeks? I have two of them and I always over-apply.
Hi Stella,
If I have some time, I put a little bit of product on the back of my hand and then use a skunk brush to apply. Here I used the NYX “Flat Top Small”:

When I’m in a hurry, I squeeze a wee tiny bit on the top of my finger and blend it directly onto my cheeks.
How do you apply them evenly? I love the apricot and grapefruit ones. I’m a hat person, only in the summer.
Hi Bella,
My preferred way is to put a lil’ bit on the back of my hand and then apply on my cheeks w/a skunk brush. If the color’s not dark enough, I’ll then build up the layers.
I’m not a hat girl. They just don’t look right on me. I blame my big head.
And as for the Becca Beach Trio, I have a very important question: You said the watermelon smells like watermelon. But is that watermelon the fruit, or watermelon the fake scent (that doesn’t smell like real watermelon, but that everyone goes ‘hey! watermelon!’ when they smell it)?
Hi Trisha,
It’s like real deal watermelon! Not synthetic at all.
Wow! That’s awesome. Frankly, I’m surprised.
Me too. It’s hard to get watermelon right, ya know?
I just got into hats a few years ago, but feel like I can’t wear them when my hair is short, lest I look like a teenage boy!
No way! You’d only risk looking like a teenage boy if you wear a cap with team and a flat bill! Rock those hats, babe!
Wow, these look great on you! Ack, I might have to buy!
Thanks, JJ! 🙂 Are you already a Becca fan?
Nah, I don’t really know much about this company 🙂 But it looks like a great product!
Sephora used to carry the line, but they don’t any more. 🙁 They have some really nice things and are known in the industry for foundations/powders.
Watermelon looks beautiful! And the scent sounds wonderful too! 🙂
It smells lovely, Gio! I think you’d really like it.
This may be a silly question but can you use tints with powder foundation or only liquids?
Hi Debbie,
I tried them on top of bare skin, liquid foundation and liquid foundation/powder. It looks best on top of bare skin and liquid foundation, and pretty good on top of a liquid foundation/powder combo if I’m careful with application. I’m betting you could probably wear it on top of powder foundation as well, but you might want to layer it beneath it rather than on top for the most natural look.
Those are pretty, but that price!!
I would love to be a hat person, but I think they usually look silly with super-curly hair.
Yeah, Becca’s expensive, no doubt. At least with the kit you can save a few bucks.
Karen, I just voted you my favorite beauty blog in Allure’s online beauty poll! I couldn’t believe it when I was answering questions about how often I visit assorted sites and there you were! Temptalia didn’t even make the list!
That’s a lot of exclamations. Can you tell I’m about to leave work?!
Oh wow, thanks for letting me know, Amber! Can you please send me the link to the poll?
I can’t, because the link was personalized. 🙁 Anyone who is an Allure Expert should have received it in their email today. You can register to be an expert at allureexperts.com.
I’m a HUGE Becca fan-but it’s so hard to find in Canada. I really want to try one of these beach tints.
You look great in hats!
Sephora used to carry the line here in the US but that’s no longer the case. 🙁 Have you checked their store locator? Maybe there’s a place near you that has a few pieces!
I love hats, but I wear them pretty seldomly. I’m maybe a little over-sensitive about hat hair 😛
Hi Shannon,
Haha, I know what you mean. I just kinda go with it and tell people I did my hair like that on purpose. 🙂
Oh I love how these are matte so they can be much more versatile. Also, charging so much, it’s nice that they didn’t skimp on the luxury touches like a different smell for every color! We’re all too smart to think these higher price tags really just mean better ingredients and results, it’s all about that bit of luxury too.
I like the matte finish too. It adds just the right amount of natural color.
I have a bright yellow sou’wester (think the Gorton’s fisherman) that I love to wear in the rain. Totally brightens my mood on dreary days.
Your hat sounds awesome! I would totally rock it in a hot second. 😀
Hat person here,I cant apply liquid or cream blush 🙁
Yes you can! Do you want some tips?
I am NOT a hat–or a headband–person. I don’t like anything that constricts my head or neck is the best way I can put it. I only wear a hat in winter. People say I look cute in them, but I can’t stand the feeling! I just end up taking it off just like Zena does (i.e. swiping it off with my hand)! It’s so hard to explain how it feels from my perspective!
I am getting into the whole scarf thing though. Maybe not around my neck so much, but I do like putting scarves on my purse. It’s fun!
I love scarves! I think they add a nice touch to an outfit, plus they keep my neck warm.
I kinda hate them around my neck, except in winter time. It depends on the scarf sometimes!
oooh love how Grapefruit looks on you!! I am a no-hat person. I used to have to wear them a lot when I was a kid, and they were always such un-cute hats. kinda ruined that experience for me lol
Ah, gotta love those childhood traumas. Mine was a terrible short haircut in sixth grade. I think we all have them!
Love this post! I just watched a youtube video on how to apply this and wanted it! Soooo beautiful..and it doesn’t hurt that I’m addicted to grapefruit scented ANYTHING. Bascially, I will be treating myself this season!
On the subject of hats, I always want to wear them but I never find it logical unless I’m outside in the summer. I can pull off a Jason Mraz every once in a while with a straw hat but in the fall and winter, I’m clueless. Love your hat though!
Hi Lowelli,
I think you’ll like the scent of this blush then! It’s delish!
OH! What nail polish are you wearing???
That’s the new Chanel Riva! Here’s a review with some swatches:
https://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/product-reviews/chanel-riva-le-vernis-nail-colour-like-the-ocean-in-a-bottle/
These look great on your cheeks! I’m worried that they’d be a little drying on the lips, though.
I’m a non-hat person, but only because I have a tiny head and they don’t look good on me. I will sport a ball cap occasionally to hide my hair (or keep it out of my face while golfing, etc) and will definitely wear a winter hat in the winter. I wouldn’t wear hats to enhance my look, though. Because they don’t! And they make my head feel matted and itchy. 🙂
