Estee Lauder Ombre Blush 'Witty Peach'

In the past, whenever i thought of Estee Lauder, it conjured up images in my mind of twinsets, pearls, blue rinse and false teeth. It was the kind of brand my granny would be reaching for.

Luckily that was a long time ago, and I am now in a completely different mindset!! With the launch of the Bronze Goddess 2012 Capri Collection, they have really caught my attention recently.

On a random trip to boots not so long ago, my hawk eyes spied a beautiful new release blush from Estee Lauder; the Pure Color Blush in 'Witty Peach'.

The fact that it was an ombre blush, and had the word 'peach' in it meant that it had to be bought of course. I have wanted Mac's Ombre Ripe Peach for ages, but seen as it now sells on eBay for ridiculous prices, I figured this was a good alternative.

'Witty Peach' retails for £24 for 7g of product. The packaging is simple and classic with the Estee Lauder logo displayed in gold on the front, a good sized mirror and a small brush.

The only thing that put my off this blush was it was described as a 'satin' finish and when swatched it felt quite chalky in texture. However when you use a brush and swirl it around the pan it does not translate as chalky at all.

You can of course use the lighter or darker side of the blush separately, but when swirled together it gives a very subtle yellow toned peachy-pink. The finish it gives is nearly matte so looks very natural, and it has fast become my go-to everyday blush.
