I only have Bronze Beauty and I really like it. On me it is a peachy bronze color. It does give that sun kissed look, at least on me. I am warm toned, light to medium coloring. HTH

I'm not sure how much help I'll be, because I have Cider but only the older version of Bronze Beauty (not vegan, less pigmented than the current one) but the BB I have is a shimmery peachy bronze brown color, whereas Cider has no peach/pink in it at all - it is a warm golden brown.
I hope these show up - but here are a couple of pictures taken with my iphone...

I have both. I like Cider and have a full size on its way.

I wear the lightest warm shade in foundation, blonde hair and green eyes. Cider adds a natural warmth to my face.

Beach Bunny is my fave for faking a tan... but Cider is more like a warm glow... like a "fall tan" if that's even possible.

hey colie, sorry i'm late to the party. i posted this on the chanty forum but i'll do it here too in case anyone else is wondering the same thing.

this is a good question, i really like both of these blushes. here is a swatch i did just tonight:
Image

cider on the left, bronze beauty (this is the new vegan version) on right.
this is done with a flash--even if i did it during daylight, i don't think it would be too helpful because it has been so dark and overcast during the day here (i live in ohio, where the sun doesn't shine from october to may).

this swatch is really interesting, because in the jars, cider and bronze beauty look almost identical. bronze beauty looks extremely pinky/peach next to cider in the swatch, but on it's own, it is more bronzey with subtle pink/peach tones. it also has alot more shine/sheen than cider. i think it does give a nice sun kissed look. cider is really the only *brown* blush i own, but it looks so wonderful and natural. it has a nice subtle sparkle too. when i wear it, i don't think it looks "sun kissed" but like i just naturally have a pretty tan. cider is *not orangey*, which it kind of comes off as in the pic up above.

Ohhhh thank you!! I ended up ordering full size bronze beauty yesterday and just a sample of CIder, but after seeing these swatches I had no idea that BB was that....well pinkish. Hmmmmm, I hope I like it!!
