Benefit Georgia

I got this blush at a Sephora shop in one of my visits to my relatives in L.A. I've been long time after it, but $28 was a bit excesive for me, fur a single blush. Lastly, I decided to make a present to myself.

I still think about the high price sometimes, but the quality of the product, the colour and the lovely smell makes me forget about it.

I have medium skin with yelloz undertone and this peachy colour fits great and looks really natural. It doesn't make my skin look like a cake, nor my pores get visible. The pot is huge, so I guess it will last really long, because it's very well pigmented and I don't need to use so much, so maybe it's worth the money.

I love it, easy to put on - impossible to make a mistake with, and leaves a nice matte finish with very little shimmmer (which can be aging if you're over 30!)

If like me, you're not overly keen on the sun-kissed/tanned look, then this is the perfect compromise.

To me, BeneFit Georgia blusher gives that effect of having gone away for a nice refreshing weekend rather than a week in the Tropics - far more healthy looking!

BeneFit Georgia - This powder which is advertised as "giving your complexion a warm glow," turns those with fair skin to a not very attractive peach-pink.

There's really no way to regulate the hue. Whatever color pigment is used is certainly evident, resulting in a rather harsh, false appearance rather than a glow.

Don't really believe that a respectable Georgia peach would look like this even in the middle of the burning of Atlanta.
