NYX Beach Babe HD Blush
NYX Beach Babe HD Blush ($6.50 for 0.16 oz.) is a brightened, gold-shimmered brown with warm, reddish-yellow undertones and a frosted finish. Bobbi Brown Bronze (LE, $45.00) is less red. Urban Decay Strip Bronzer (P) is slightly darker. Too Faced Sun Bunny #2 (P) is lighter. Too Faced Sun Bunny #1 (P) is darker. Disney by Sephora Golden Sands (LE, $55.00) is darker. MAC Global Glow (P, $30.00) is lighter. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
It was nicely pigmented with color that could be applied at true-to-pan intensity. The texture was soft with a fairly silky feel that didn’t get too powdery–the least powdery shade I’ve tested so far from the new HD range–that blended easily on the skin. I also found that despite seeming rather shimmery when swatched, the finish is softer and more luminous than a true frost on the skin. It seemed to buff and diffuse especially well in practice. When I wore this blush (or bronzer), it stayed on well for seven and a half hours before fading.

Do you think this could work as an eyeshadow? I love the color!
I’m not sure if it would be safe for eyes!
Love this shade! I feel like this is a colour that would work on many different skintones!
It could!
Too dark for me, but I think it’s beautiful.
You can definitely get a sheerer application out of it without much work!
Good to know. At least it’s inexpensive enough if it doesn’t work, not much is lost.
I really like this one. I wish Ulta had free shipping because I have a feeling these are going to sell out and we are snowed in again,UGH! So, awesome to see quality in affordable products. I also appreciate your idea to use these more sparkly bronzers as blush. I have so many that come in kits or whatever and overly sparkly bronzers aren’t my thing generally. But as a blush! Eureka! Thanks for the Idea! You look so cute with this look too..very festive ! Not something I could pull off for sure.
As far as I know, these are permanent so no rush 🙂
I need to pick this up! I love everything about this look, so beautiful, I can see myself wearing it all summer long
Thanks, Mara!
What a pretty look, Christine! <3 And this blush looks really lovely on your skin.
Thank you! <3
Too warm for me but impressive for $6.50!
It is!
This looks much less chalky than the other ones.
It is much smoother.
What a bad ass look! I might get this in hopes that it would turn redder on pale skin. Do you think it would?
I think it might get a little redder, if you have pinker tones.
You always look gorgeous Christine but I really like this look. This blush looks really nice on you.
Aw, thank you, Markie!
Do you think this will show up on C4 skintone?
Yes!
Wow – that looks stunning on you Christine – and your eye look is gorgeous. What a great colour for you. I think it might be a little too dark for me, but it is a fabulous product.
Thanks a lot, Genevieve 🙂
One of my favorite parts about your face test pics is seeing what other products may be making their way to the blog in the future days. Your eye look is stunning! 🙂
Thanks, Allison!
Absolutely beautiful! I can’t wait to go to Ulta tomorrow lol
Hope you can find it!
The blush is such a lovely summer shade.
I’m so drawn to ur lip color too. Hope to see your reviews on NYX’s new Intense Butter Glosses. ^^
It is a very summery shade for sure!
What a pretty color!! I’m glad some of the new blushes are good!
You look so pretty Christine! Love those bright eyes!!
Thank you, Cat!
On my skin tone I think this would look better as a bronzer. It’s really pretty!
Yay!
The blush is a pretty colour, but it totally got overshadowed for my by the AMAZING EYE MAKEUP 😀
Aw, thank you!
At the price tag formula looks really good.. though I am not into bronzers but would love to give this a try!! 🙂
The blush looks lovely on you
Thank you, Poonam!
Christine, do you know if this is limited edition ? Thank you .
As far as I know, these are permanent.
Thank you !
Such a pretty colour for summer! Love. Hope I can get my hands on the new NYX products at some point!
Fingers crossed! 🙂
