Bite Beauty Melon Mojito Daycation Whipped BlushBite Beauty Melon Mojito Daycation Whipped Blush ($ 32.00 for 0.33 oz.) Is a muted, medium-sized coral with warmer undertones and a fine, pink pearl. It appeared to be more pigmented when initially pushed out, but it shimmered immediately in practice, so the best coverage I could get was semi-transparent, but that was patchy. When I left it as a very sheer layer (barely noticeable on my skin tone), it was only lightly stained.
The consistency felt foamy, but it dried quickly and didn’t mix evenly or spread out evenly, which made the job difficult. The finish was very flat and matte rather than “natural” and tended to emphasize the texture / dryness of the skin, if any. It stayed on decently for five and a half hours before fading was noticeable.

The formula is said to have a “natural looking finish” with a beaten feel that is “not cake-like” and “lasts all day”. The pigmentation has been described as a “buildable flush” although it was more semi-transparent and harder to build up as the formula dries very quickly and is harder to fade out / apply without staining or lifting the original layer (or worse, foundation).
The bead of each shade seemed too large, so it added to the inconsistency and movement of the product without sticking evenly. It was one of the harsher cream blushes used in more recent memories. They showed signs of fading on my cheeks after six hours.
I found that the wide and squeeze tube is more difficult to dose, often gets a lot of air and really has to squeeze to get the product out … and sometimes a pinch that was barely there gave off more product than necessary!
