I have to say: I would never have purchased this product without MUA (especially because you can't see the blush when it's in its packaging at the drugstore).

I've never been a fan of blush because it never looks "natural" and usually makes my (sallow) NC15 cheeks look clownish, with magenta splotches. I've realized now that this is because I was buying cool pinks vs. warm peaches (even the Cover Girl "Pretty Peach" -- a high scoring shade on MUA -- was too pink for me, and I have a feeling Nars Orgasm would be, too).

Once I figured out that I was a "warm," I used MUA to narrow down a good drugstore peach (if I had more $$ I would try Illamasqua "Lover"). This L'Oreal color looks a teeny bit orange if concentrated on the cheek, but with some blending it gives me glowy, healthy-looking cheeks. I think I may have finally found my HG blush!

As some have mentioned, the packaging is a bit bulky, but the brush that comes with is actually usable and the compact has a lot of product - this should last a while (which is good, because it's kind of pricey). The color is nicely pigmented, but it's lasting power leaves a little to be desired (haven't tried it with primer on underneath).

It's worth it, though, because it's the perfect shade of peach for this otherwise-ghostly PPP.

Defntly, my HG blush. Prefer over Nars orgasm. This is just a beautiful peach color and wonderful on my skin. Will buy it for as long as they sell it. I also happen to love the brush that comes with it, can deffntly use it. Its a short fan brush but with lots of bristles... .

I bought this blush about 2 years ago and I keep coming back to it - my skin is a medium tan and it gives a nice natural peachy flush that doesn't scream blush - just like I've actually gotten some sleep. It has a tiny bit of shimmer, but not too much. The compact is big and bulky but that does allow for a big mirror which I like, and a large surface area for the product. I would suggest using a big fluffy brush instead of the compact brush, for best results (duh). I wish L'oreal would make a cooler looking compact than their current grey box. On the upshot, I have dropped it a few times and it doesn't break like my little MAC blushes :)

This shows up a bronzey-peach on my yellow-toned skin. I really enjoy the mirror and brush that comes with it. Sometimes I feel it is perhaps too unnaturally orange. Meh.

Just picked this up at CVS...it's a nice color and though it has some shimmer it's not overpowering. It's very natural looking on my warm Asian skin which is what I was going for - something to give me a little color without being obvious for the daytime. I also picked up Color Riche lipstick in Peach Fuzz and I like the way they compliment each other.

I've just purchased this product and have fallen in love. I have VERY fair skin, almost like a milky-white color. I used the brush included, and it turned out horrible. I re-tried it with my other blush brush, and only needed one sweep. It looked incredibly natural. If you use too much product however, it turns orange.


I liked how it had some shimmer in it, which wasn't too over-powering. However, it looked a little too matte for my taste. I applied a sweep of Maybelline's Vanilla eyeshadow- and voila! It was the cherry on top!


As for the compact, I understand why others would think it's bulky, bu I like how it has a lot of the product in it. :)


I would recommend this blush to those with fair skin, and I would definitely re-purchase. However, I wouldn't use the blush alone without the vanilla coloring.

Charmed Peach looks like a very pretty light peach with shimmer in the pan. On my LLL Asian skin, however, it goes on very matte and orange. It actually looked a bit muddy on my skin. I also didn't like how large and bulky the compact is. At $11.99, it's kind of expensive for a drugstore blush. I far prefer Jane's Blushing Earth Sheer blush -- really pretty peachy pink with shimmer. Plus Blushing Earth is under $4.

I hate how bulky the compact is. It won't fit into my makeup bag. I love the color though. It doesn't go on as pigmented as NARS blushes which i love. But that's great cus it leaves a very nice natural finish. It's peachy and matte. I like that the surface of the product is large, so my MAC brush can pick up the right amount of product. Its lasting power is good.

packaging & price are fine, but the color comes off very orangey for pale asian skin. at best, i'll use it on top of my armani #4 blush, which is kind of a dark peachy color.

I can see how this would be a great blush for many people however... it's completely orange on me.. I've had it for 1.5 years and when I first tried it , it was too orangy... fonud it today in hopes of trying to make it work... but no, still too orangy.. I suppose it just doesnt work on certain types of skin tones.. I (think) I'm yellow undertoned... I need more pink

I've used this for years but never reviewed it. This is one I wear regularly. It has a great smooth texture and adds a nice hint of peach to my cheeks. I use it alone or with my Nars blushes used as a pop of color on my apples. This is a great blush for any price.

I see this as being a classic peach blush with a hint of shimmer. It's a great long wearing blush and finely milled, even compared to dept. brands. This was one of the first blushes I ever owned, and I have since accumulated tons of blushes. Yet I always come back to this one. I love the name and the healthy flush it gives me. Super!

This is a true peach blush with very minimal shimmer. I can see how it would look orange on cool-toned people. However, if you are warm, this should add a nice healthy glow to your cheeks. Pigmentation is medium, but since it's somewhat "flesh" colored, I can see how it would disappear into some people's skin tone and result in a sheer effect. I'm super warm (C3) and I like this a lot.

beautiful peachy pink color. Blends really well and is affordable. I like to use this on days when my skin needs some livening up.

The peachy shade looked very pretty in the pan. However, just as someone said belew, it turned into a kinda orange colour after applying to cheeks, which is not very pretty on my fair skin.

GREAT colour, highly pigmented and showed up nicely (layerd) on my nc40 skin. Really brightened up my face! HOWEVER, made me breakout smallish red zits the very next day. I tried going back to it many weeks later since it's quite a lovely blush (denial), but again my SKIN BROKE OUT BADLY (only in the cheek area!) I knew it wasn't meant to be! ARGHH! Those who are acne prone- BEWARE! I have since moved on to MAC sheertone blushes.

charmed peach is a true peach-colored blush with minimal shimmer. the pigment quality is great and the color is buildable to one's liking. there are a couple of cons that are worth noting. the cheap looking packaging is bulky, but you do get a a huge amount that will last you a long time, plus a huge mirror on the inside of the compact. the lasting quality is less than mediocre. it doesn't last very long on me, but over all i will still repurchase b/c i love the color so much.

I'm so glad i got this from a swap! It's one of my favourite blushes, and i find myself using less of Benefit Dandelion nowadays while going for this! It's VERY pigmented.. i usually just need ONE swipe of my own blush brush (the given brush is similar to dandelion's and didn't look too good to use) and the colour shows up adequately on my skin already! At this rate i'll never finish using this! Lovely natural peach blush for my asian skin!

this lasted me for 2 years, after which i tossed out, and still didnt finish using, lol. this is great, natural, i recommend for asian fair skins with a slightly pink tone to it~ true match has a more natural color range tho ~ and more colors, to look more natural than this~
