Millions of Peaches, Peaches For Me

Hello internet,

At the moment I seem to be spending Monday evenings snuggled up in my dressing gown, nursing a cup of tea, and generally regretting my revelry of the weekend. I know everyone hates Tuesdays, but for me its Mondays, I really need to live in a 3 day weekend world. And if that happened, then I wouldnt have to put up with people  who insist on calling Wednesday "Hump Day". Urgh.

But anyway, really must stop complaining. Time to talk of all things good... My wonderful friend gave me a blush today, for no reason except that she is lovely. Oh and she said she was fed up of my cheeks being so plain. Weirdo.

So I thought I'd share it with you & do a quick review!

So, drumroll please; she got me Mac's powder blush in Pinch O' Peach. And here are some pics:

And now a swatch:

It is a sheertone blush (so obviously not a strong matte colour) and mac describes its colour as "A wash of warm peach". Well, I suppose this could be true, but it is definitely more pink than peach (to me at least). I have been wearing it everyday for the past week & I absolutely love it. It gives a natural wash of colour without screaming "Look at my cheeks I'm wearing blush!". And because it is quite natural, I have been wearing it with a variety of different eye looks & colours. I was quite cautious about it as I had not heard much about it on the blogosphere/youtube, and apparently I am a massive sheep and tend to only part with my dolla if people have raved about a product!

I have never been a big blush wearer, but I have been trying to change this as I get older further away from my teen years. But whilst looking through my itsy-bitsy collection I realise I have been acquiring a variation of a theme, the theme being peach! I didn't even realise I liked peach blush!

Stereo Rose, Pinch O' Peach, Peaches

I already had Peaches blush (pure peach) & Stereo Rose MSF (coral/peach hybrid). These are my most reached for blushes at the moment, but I have to say Pinch O' Peach is now my new favourite. It's a bit girlier and more natural flush-like than peaches, and I find I have to work a bit harder to blend Stereo Rose in to decrease the shimmer factor. So, this is now the one to beat!

Time for swatches:

Pinch O' Peach, Peaches, Stereo Rose

Here are some photos of me wearing Pinch O' Peach & Peaches. Please excuse the quality as I put this on before bed & am quite looking forward to sleeping! Oh and also I really piled it on to show the colour, I do not wear it this strong in real life.

Peaches

So, that is that. Pinch O' Peach costs £14.50 for the palette refill pan (don't you hate how mac keep putting the price up!). So now it's time to scrub my face, watch Skins (and wish it was as good as the first generation) and sleep perchance to to dream.

Goodnight chicks


Seeing as I clearly have a thing for peach blushes, which ones would you recommend? How do you wear Pinch O' Peach?
