Good Girls Wear Peach

Wednesday, January 20, 2016

I'm sure bad girls wear peach as well but today, I'd like to share with you my peachy-pink blush collection which includes one of my favourite blushes this month and my favourite blush of 2015. Surprisingly, I don't actually have as many blushes as I thought, especially since I use them daily! Blushes are as staple to me as eyeliner is to my eyes. My face can appear quite flat and round if I don't put some colour to it. Peachy pinks are something I pull out whenever I'm not sure what to wear so they tend to be part of my most used items.

The blush that spurred this post would have to be Essence's Good Girls Wear Peach blush. I've always heard good things about Essence blushes so I picked this one up a few months ago. It's part of their Limited Edition Good Girl Bad Girl collection. I don't enjoy posting about Limited Edition stuff but it seems that Essence release their collections over a large span of time so things that were released in Europe over half a year ago may be just released in Canada. I don't quite understand it yet but for reference purposes, I'm going to post my swatch today.


Essence Good Girl Bad Girl (Good Girls Wear Peach) - I believe this is the only blush in this collection. It's one of the most powdery blushes I've ever own. However despite that, it does have a nice colour pay off. It's a true muted peach shade that is hard to find in the drugstore.  I'm pretty pale so it adds a light bit of colour on my cheeks and give them a bit of definition but not enough where I'm screaming blush. I really like this colour but I'm not sure this will show up all that well on deeper skin tones. Essence should really have released another shade as well so that there's options.  GGWP wore beautifully and at the end of 8hr day, I could still see it on my cheeks. In pan there's a bit of shimmer but on swatches, the shimmers don't really show.

Etude House Cookie Blusher (#6 Grapefruit Jelly): This is my favourite blush in 2015 and I love it so much, I'm already contemplating on buying a backup despite not having hit pan yet. I've reviewed it in its own post here. Comparing it to GGWP, it's much brighter and have a lot more pink in it. It's also not powdery at all. 

Tony Moly Crystal Blusher (#3 Pleasure Peach): This is very similar to GGWP but with a bit of pink added in and also brighter. I've reviewed the all the Crystal Blushers I own in this post. The texture is drier and more powdery than Etude House but less definitely less powdery than GGWP. It's also very long lasting. 

I'm wearing GGWP  - it's just a light wash of colour that is hardly detectable. On the lips I have Too Face Melted Lipstick in Melted Peony.

Etude House's Grapefruit Jelly is still my favourite but if you ever come across GGWP, it's not a bad idea to pick it up, especially since it's only $3.50 CDN.

  1. I love peach blushes too! I've been getting more into blush these days since it used to be the only makeup step I skipped but even back then when I didn't wear blush at all, I was still fond of peach. I think it really suits my skin tone. My favourite one I own is Milani's Baked Blush in Luminoso. Gorgeous glowy peach blush. The Essence blush looks really pretty!

    1. I've heard so many good things about the Milani blushes (Luminoso in particular!). Sadly, I haven't seen it anywhere in Canada.

  2. It's a shame that the essence blush is so powdery because it's super pretty! I think it's my favourite looking of the bunch, to be honest!

    1. It's definitely quite unique in that it applies on more like a nude-peach than a pink-peach. I haven't even realize how powdery it was until I watched it beside the others. On application, it looks completely fine :)

  3. Oh that Grapefruit Jelly one is so pretty! I can see how it made your fave of 2015. I've seen those Etude House Cookie blushers before but never tried them - will look for that shade next time I'm at my local Korean beauty boutique :)

    1. It's a pretty popular product so it shouldn't be that hard to find :)

    1. We only have four of the standard blushes here. I've also heard amazing things about them but the colours don't really call to me. This is why I love seeing LE's ^^

  5. Wow. That is a very nice peachy shade. I've heard of Essence a lot but for some reason never got to try any of their products. I should head to a drugstore and get this blush lol.

    1. Even if you can't find this particular blush, the other Essence blushes are good too :)!

  6. I love peachy blushes, my sister uses an essence blush and I think she likes it. My favourite peach blush is from Tarte's blush palette from their 2015 holiday collection, forgot the name of the shade though. Peony looks so pretty on you, I think I'm going to check that lipsticks next time at Sephora!




     Miriam ♥ A whole lot of serendipity

    1. Ah the Tarte one might be called "Beaming". It looks really similar to GGWP except with a bit of shimmer :) Peony has become my go - to nudey pink shade. I like it so much that I find myself gravitating towards drugstore shade dupes!
