If you ask me what my favourite blush is, as difficult as it is to answer this tricky question, a blush that comes to mind would be TheBalm’s Down Boy. I’ve always been a fan of blushes from TheBalm; talk about good quality blushes that’s not too expensive. Today, I’d like to show you a new addition to my blush stash and that’s the Cabana Boy.
The Cabana Boy is by no means a new blush by TheBalm. To be honest, when I first saw this in store years ago, I wasn’t sure if this berry shade would work for me as it looks pretty dark in the pan. But when I was gifted this blush, I decided to try it out on my cheeks properly and not just rely on a swatch on the back of my hand.
Ahh Cabana Boy … it’s been a long time coming but I think I’m in love.
Even though it looks like a dark berry/mauve in the pan, it’s actually a dusky pink blush. It’s not as heavily pigmented like the InStain blushes but it still packs a punch within the second or third layer. It’s just the sort of quality and colour that I love in blushes. It lasts all day with just a hint of fading by the end of the day.
If you haven’t tried any of TheBalm’s BOY blushes, I highly recommend them. They’re very close to top of the line in terms of blushes for me and is more than comparable to the ones from high-end brands. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up from me!
TheBalm’s Cabana Boy retails at AU$27.95 and is available at David Jones and Adore Beauty.
Have you tried the Cabana Boy or any of TheBalm’s BOY blushes? Did you like them as much as I did?

I haven’t tried Cabana Boy, but I am loving the sample of “Pie”, a cream blush, from How ‘Bout Them Apples. I thought it would be too red for me, but it’s a gorgeous pinked-red and because it’s cream it’s easy to blend out. Love it. Want the whole palette. But theBalm is da bomb

Ooh I’ve heard great things about the How ‘Bout Them Apples! I want to get that palette but erm, do I really need another blush though?
OF COURSE I DO! 😀
I wish they were a ‘little’ bit cheaper! The Balm do have a lovely collection of blushes. It’s a natural looking shade on you!

I only own Frat Boy from Thebalm at the moment.
Love it! Its my to go blush, a matte peachy pink that goes with anything!
Thebalm products last a long time, I’ve had this for 2 years now and only see a slight dip in the product 🙂
Currently eyeing Hot Mama and the How About Them Apples palette (but seriously..do I really need that many cream blushes?) LOL
Ooh Frat Boy’s a good one! And to answer your question, nah we don’t really need that many cream blushes. But do we want them? Oh yes we do! 😛
I bought all the shades- Frat Boy, Down Boy, & Cabana Boy. From the bunch, I also love Down Boy the most, next is Cabana Boy. They are really great quality and longevity is superb!
Take Care!
