First Look| Too Faced Perfect Flush Blush in Peach Beach

I bought this blush back in the middle of February, and I know it's been out even before then (yeah, I tried getting it 20% off on Vday but it was sold out >.>) 

The Perfect Flush Blush from Too Faced ($30 retail), as you probably know by now, comes in three colors in a cute cardboard heart that practically vomits pink and prettiness. I love it. I chose Peach Beach because of how useful it will be in the summer time where I want to amplify my bronzer with slight color and add a summer glow to my cheeks. Winning. 

Wow, look at those colors. This reminds me of MAC Warm Soul or TheBalm Frat Boy due to its sheen both in pan and on the cheeks despite glittering everywhere with glitter. The blush looks glued into the box but doesn't fall out when you tip it over. Perhaps you could re-use the box for jewelry once you're done? 

The back side is just as cute. I didn't know blushes lasted only 18 months. I don't know how much blush you use, but damn. As you can also see you get 5.5 grams of product. 

As I was swatching, I happened to be swatching my new Maybelline Master HiLight blush in Nude. The Peach Beach is on top. The Nude is on bottom. Very similar. One swipe. Much sheen. Wow. In comparison it seems like Peach Beach isn't as "peach" as you may think, especially because I blended all three colors onto my finger before swiping it to my hand. 

Here it is on my cheeks with outdoor but indirect sunlight. I layered it over my Josie Maran blush in Poppy Paradise. I remember swatching it in stores and seeing a glittery mess, so I passed the first time. The second time over I took a chance and found that there weren't noticeable glitters on my face at all, but fine shimmer. The end result is a natural flush *indeed* that doesn't look painted on. 

I can't say this is a quality blush or a bad blush, to be honest with you. I know my NYX Terracotta could probably do the same job, but I like how I can swirl a hefty brush into this pan. The drugstore dupe is also pretty close in terms of color and texture. The thing that sets it apart is lasting power, staying for 6-8 hours on my cheeks before fading down. 

Would I get the other two colors, one of which I know for certain is named Candy Glow? Nah. I don't even care enough to look up the other name. Those colors look flattering to cooler skintones, imo so I'll pass on those. The packaging sure looks cute on my vanity though...
