Too Faced Ginger Peach Peach My Cheeks Melting Powder Blush Review, Photos, Swatches
Ginger Peach
Too Faced Ginger Peach Peach My Cheeks Melting Powder Blush ($30.00 for 0.44 oz.) is a medium orange with warm, golden pearl and a satin sheen. The finish wasn’t matte, but it wasn’t particularly dewy–just a light sheen from the shimmer–as it dried down to a powder finish almost instantly upon contact with my skin.
The texture was smooth and more cream-like initially, but after that initial swatch, it had a drier, slightly thicker feel over the area exposed. It was a dense product and not at all squishy, to give you an idea about the texture, which made it thinner and less blendable on the skin. I was able to apply this decently by patting the color on with my fingertip and then using the edge of my finger to diffuse the edges. I had to be very careful applying it over foundation, as it tended to lift the base away from the skin and start to clump up. It lasted for six hours on me before fading noticeably.

Formula Overview
$30.00/0.44 oz. - $68.18 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be a "cream-to-powder blush" that has "buildable color" and a "creamy, velvety texture" paired with a "radiant-matte finish." The consistency felt creamy to the touch, but it also felt a little powdery. It had a candy-coated shell initially--very shiny--but after one or two uses, the texture looked more matte and felt a lot drier. It seemed almost as if it was drying out over time, so ultimately, it felt more like a powder going on most of the time.
The texture was thinner and while it was no trouble to diffuse the product across the skin, it did not do so that evenly, and I noticed a lot of color that seemed to sit in my pores (like dots of deeper color). The coverage was more buildable when applied with a fingertip, but it was a challenge to get more coverage that was still blended as the color seemed to disappear as I blended it out (even just a little). The only way I could manage decent application was patting color on the apples of the cheeks with fingertips and lightly pressing to blend, and then going back with a bit of foundation actually blend out the edges. The wear was short end on bare skin at six to seven hours.
Over foundation, they were worse, as they lifted liquid foundations a lot, which resulted in uneven coverage and some unevenness in overall texture, too, as the cream-to-powder formula caused clumping with my liquid foundations (I tried three different ones with this blush formula).

Bleh…
Exactly!
Another shade flops. TF seems to have dropped the ball with this odd formula (dries to powder on contact, but lifts foundation). Since this one and Spiced Peach were the 2 I was most interested in, one could conclusively say that my lemmings for these died.
I don’t know what’s going on with this formula 🙁
Somehow, I don’t think the latest TF blush ranges is going to be good…..
I don’t think they will be either!
Pretty color but this formula isn’t scoring well 🙁
That formula sounds difficult, and I do not have the time for that!!!
So happy about this review. I started to pick this up last week during the VIB preview, but something told me to put it back, and then I read this review and I was like “good job intuition.” lol
LOL! Phew!
