Looking for the latest spoiler for this box? Find it here:
This Cargo blush is described as a "Sheer pink with gold and red grapefruit undertones."
You can't see it in the pan, but it does have a little shimmer, too.
Here it is swatched:
The pigment is buildable and blendable, so you don't have to worry about overdoing it in one brush stroke. (Above swatch is 3 layers to demonstrate the color). There also is a subtle shimmer that is visible at certain angles.
I think this could also work as a highlighter or you could use it over a matte bronzer if you wanted to add a little shimmer.

Weird.. I have a bunch of Cargo and I don’t have issues opening them. The blush would totally make me buy this box.. it’s $26 retail… my fave blush brand. 🙂
So I’m curious of what the August box will bring. Hence the last two month of horrible boxes- I’m sure didn’t go as planned for PSMH.
Now I did get an email from PSMH telling me my box will be delayed because a item in the box was received in time. Did anyone else get this message??? I do hope they really thought about what people were saying and actually paid attention the the reviews and this is not another month wasted on my hard earned money of thrown in useless items.
This blush color is nice, but am a little worried its not my tone. Maybe to wear at home on a Sunday or a quick run to do errands. I guess time will tell. I can’t wait to see the other spoilers for this box.
Please be a good box, please, please.

I’ve been a pretty consistent subscriber of PSMH (and bought the majority of the LE boxes, including the Neiman Marcus ones) since 2013 (only taking a break here and there when I’ve moved or was trying to cut down on spending) and communication from them is spotty, at best. Thank goodness for Liz and MSA, because that’s where I get most of the updates! Not sure what’s going on there. Would have not known at all about the spoiler or delay had it not been for this site.

Wow, I LOVE that color! I’m super excited now.

Yeah, no. I have this blush from Birchbox and the tin is hard as hell to open. It constantly annoys me. This is a great color, though, but the packaging is so frustrating at 6:00am in the morning… especially on Mondays. 🙂

Elizabeth
Right!!?! I thought I was inept at opening the tin and didn’t realize it was a common problem! I end up usually whacking it on the counter to pry the lid loose. How the blush hasn’t disintegrated by now is beyond me. 🙂

It’s a no from me.
I’m 33 and all of a sudden PSMH feels too young for me. I do miss the snacks! If they do a food limited edition box I would totallt buy it!

Seriously their spoiler to entice people to get their box is blush? I don’t understand te thought process behind it.

I just laughed out loud when I read this. Seriously was thinking the exact same thing…come on popsugar. What happened? Plus, just like they said cargo is so hard to open, great product, but it’s too hard to use.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that color of blush ever!
It’s a fabulous pink. I’m curious how it will look on skin.

Tanya
I like the color…..It will go well with my skin tone. Looking forward to seeing what else is in the box.

I nearly bought blush last night and waited. This is the perfect color for me (porcelain/fair redhead, pink undertones to) and it’s practical and saves me a little chunk of money on makeup.

If we have a 6 month sub, can we skip this box? The blush is a pretty color but b/c of my red undertones, any blush at all makes my face red. 🙁

Katie
You cannot skip boxes.

Thanks for letting me know. 🙂

This look like it wouldn’t work for different skin color.

It looks pretty similar to benefit’s dandelion, which I wear all the time, and I have olive skin, so you might be okay. 🙂

So funny you say that, Emily! I was just flipping through the Ulta circular and saw Dandelion and thought, “hey, that looks like the Cargo blush in Popsugar!” I haven’t bought any of the Benefit blushes because the box packaging is way too bulky for me. I think the shade is beautiful, but I’m not going to buy the box just for it. Hopefully there will be lots up for sale/swap!
Cindy
Agree. Anyone with an olive or deeper complexion (myself included in that)…this blush will be useless, even as a highlighter. Oh well.

I cancelled my subscription for the first time ever, and I was oh so expecting the first spoiler that sent me screaming back to them to take my money.
Instead, it’s more of an eh?
Reply
Chantel
I feel this exact same way! I have been subscribing for YEARS and finally canceled. I was thinking I would be signing back up/ regretting it as soon as I saw the first spoiler. Nope.

I like this spoiler . I unsubbed but if I like the rest of the box I may sign back up . I wasn’t really happy with the direction pop sugar was going after a while and was giving away most of my boxes . Hoping this box picks back up a bit in their old direction , instead of where they had went in a different direction .

This blush isn’t doing it for me. I logged into my popsugar account, but alas, I signed up for a 6 month subscription back in May…….I think I’m popsugared out!

So, is this the item we are waiting for?
It’s ok, not bad, just not excited for a blush, buthe hopefully this box rocks!

Natasha
Quite nice! Never tried this brand, but I’m glad to see that others like it.

I think I would love to receive this blush, mainly because I’ve been using a Cargo eye shadow as a blush for about a year now. I was in a pinch and needed some color for my cheeks and all I had was the Cargo shadow in the Pasadena shade. I used it on my cheeks and haven’t gone back because it’s such a great color for me and it has a slight shimmer to it which is perfect!

I love Cargo – it’s actually my go to for blush but this color isn’t going to work for me my undertones are much too warm. Might be able to do it over a bronzer…

I’m excited on this one! I’ve been SO disappointed these last few months, and I’ve heard good things about these blushes from Kristin Gehm. At the very least, there will be one item I’ll truly enjoy trying in the box (unlike the last few… sorry PopSugar… but grrr.) If you asked me what was in last month’s, I’d have no clue as it was that bad 🙁

Excited. Really nice color, very cute and girly. I like this spoiler better than the last few month spoilers….excited to see the themes. Good job popsugar!

Glad I cancelled, I have decided to just get the Limited addition boxes…those have been really great as of late and the month to month for me has been meh.
Reply
Tamara
Meh. Yawn. The color looks pretty but I barely ever wear blush. I hope the rest of the box is more interesting.
Reply
Randi
Its not the most exciting item, but its a pretty color and its something I’ll use.
I really like that boxes are sending you spoilers ahead of time – it makes a huge difference 🙂 (I loved the RZ spoiler on you way more than the models)
