What cosmetics foundation came in a container that looked like this?

About five years ago, I used a foundation on my face that I really liked. I stopped wearing makeup around four years ago. I've just decided to go back to some basic makeup, but I can't remember the brand of foundation or the name of the color. All I remember is the packaging.
It looked sort of like this (I am no artist). It was a mostly flat, rectangular container with a screw-top at one end. Think of like toothpaste, except a flat rectangle instead of a tube. The colors of the packaging were two/three shades of very light peach/beige.
Can anyone help me identify this? I don't even know if it exists anymore.

Do you remember whether you got it at a department store or a specialty store (Sephora?) or a drugstore? That would help narrow it down...
JINX! Great minds think alike ... :)

Best answer: Might it have been this Cargo foundation? It used to have a different, more beige/pink design on the pouch.

ANYWAY is Covergirl Clean Fresh Skin Milk on the right track? I can't tell if the tube you're thinking of is meant to be wider than this.

Oh sweet! I used to wear that foundation, so your drawing was spot on. You might also try Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder. It's my go-to foundation now, and it's everything I liked about the Cargo, but even better.
