Every once in a while, a beauty product comes along that quietly captures a moment in time. For me, that was the Tarte SEA Breezy Cream Blush. Before we officially mourn the discontinuation of these ocean-inspired compacts, it should be noted that the ‘Berry Bliss’ shade remains available for purchase directly from Tarte. Sadly, ‘Peach Sunset,’ ‘Pink Sky,’ and the ‘Seychelles Bronzer’ are the shades that have quietly disappeared from the lineup. Now, let’s dive into all the breezy details of these coveted cream blushes.
Let’s start with that packaging: Coastal Calm in a Compact
Tarte’s Breezy Cream Blush is housed in a charming, rounded turquoise compact that looks like it was plucked straight from the ocean floor. The design is minimalist yet elegant, featuring a smooth, slightly domed lid that mimics the sophisticated curve of a vintage clam shell.
The Formula That Melted Into Skin (and Hearts)
Infused with the skincare benefits of the sea, Tarte’s SEA Breezy Cream Blush delivers “just pinched” color for an effortless, fresh glow. The formula features an air-whipped, cushiony texture that melts seamlessly into skin, while helping minimize pores & fine lines. I prefer applying this blush with my fingertips, as the silky, lightweight formula blends seamlessly while smoothing & hydrating skin with slip grip technology.
Swatches
Swatched above in golden-hour sunlight are shades: Pink Sky, Peach Sunset, and Berry Bliss.
Shades That Feel Like Summer
Tarte didn’t go overboard with the shade range, but what they did, they did well.
‘Pink Sky’ was the perfect sunlit coral, ‘Berry Bliss’ gives that cool-toned, just-bitten look, and ‘Peach Sunset’ was the shade equivalent of golden hour.
Why I Miss Them
Maybe it’s because beauty trends move so fast now, but the Tarte SEA Breezy Cream Blush feels like a relic from a calmer time in makeup — when products didn’t need to go viral to be loved. When “dewy skin” was just a personal vibe, not an algorithm.
Availability
The Tarte Breezy Cream Blush is available at TARTE (Save 15% off Tarte with code: allintheblush)
So, Tarte — if you’re listening — please bring back ‘Peach Sunset’ and ‘Pink Sky.’ The people (and our makeup bags) are ready for a little more breezy nostalgia.
