Best Things in Beauty : Cargo Siena.

as my MAC Blush series is over i want to start showing you the rest of my Cargo blushes to complete that installment - see an overview here or on the sidebar.
Cargo blushes are quite hard to get from germany, on ebay there are only few but you can order them online at beautybay.com, that's where i got most of mine. i ordered 3 more when i noticed that they offer some new shades, amongst them Siena.
the blushes come in the by now familiar silver tin, they contain 8.9g and cost 15£/18.10€.
Siena is a warm muted red/coral shade, almost with terracotta tinge. it's almost completely matte but contains some very fine light reflective particles. the texture of this is heavenly smooth and fine, almost creamy to the touch. it's well pigmented so needs a light hand and soft brush to apply. it applies absolutely evenly and blends out so easily. i think it looks very flattering on my skintone, like a pinky coral flush that sculpts the cheeks nicely. the matte texture is really soft and allows the colour to melt into my skin, making it look even and refined.
colourwise it looks very similar to NARS Amour, but is a bit brighter, less muted than Amour and has an even better texture. you probably don't need both and if i had to, i'd choose Siena.
