Peripera Smile Fit Blusher in #5 Coral Orange Review

I'm a little late in the game (as usual), but I have been getting more and more into Korean drugstore makeup. I find the quality is amazing and the price really affordable. Heck, I can't always be buying high end and pretending like I'm some princess of Arabia or something lol.

Korean brands are a plenty, and Korean women being very picky about makeup (this isn't a racial comment, I am Korean myself and this is an observation of my people) when it comes to quality, so I find that the quality is a lot higher than a lot of US and UK drugstore brands.  This is of course just my opinion and I'm sure many beg to differ.

So far, I have loved all my TonyMoly and Etude House products that I managed to grab off of ebay.  If anyone can recommend a place in the UK that sells Korean or other Asian makeup brands, please hit me up below or email me please.  I don't mind buying them from Korea on ebay, but I hate the wait.

So today's review and swatch is of Peripera blush #5 Coral Orange. Don't worry, it's not coral or orange, it's actually a very muted baby pink LOL

 

You can all see my camera lol

The packaging is a lace adorned mirror like plastic case. It's extremely light and compact.

The color does have a tiny tiny hint of something peachy, but definitely not coral or pink. It goes on very sheer as you'll see in the photos later. It has a mirror and brush compartment. I have't used the brush as I don't see the purpose of applying blush with a brush like this. It's a nice add-on, but really unncessary for someone like me who applies blush with a proper blush buffer brush.

The colour is very subtle and neutral. It appears great on fair skin tones like myself, and it's not chalky with a light application, but it can get a little chalky if you want to build up on it, therefore, I do recommend this colour for fair/light skin tones as this would not show up on someone with a darker complexion.

I love this blush as my travel blush as I won't cry if I lose it or break it and it mimics my other beloved blushes (that I won't take with me on travel) and at a fraction of the cost.

Peripera is picking up popularity over here in the west, so shop around on ebay or just do a google search for where you can pick up Korean makeup products. I know the US has tons of places to purchase from, but I am here in the U.K., where I have to import it (unless someone tells me otherwise).

US Peripera website (so cute!!)

I am excited to try more Peripera products since I am happy with this one.  What's your favorite Peripera product?

Korean Makeup Haul with Peripera, Etude House, and TonyMoly

Is it bad that I'm Korean and I have no knowledge of Korean makeup other than bb cream? Shame on me lol. Well my interest in Korean makeup started when my friend Sade started talking about it and showing me her ebay purchases.  I was amazed at how affordable some of these brands were so I decided to give them a go and made my purchases through ebay.  I know a lot of you are already familiar with these brands, so bare with me.

My haul includes: 

Etude House slanted eyeshadow brush

Peripera Smile Fit Blusher in #5 Coral Orange

and

TonyMoly Petite Bunny Gloss Bar in Juicy Peach

Out of these products, my favourite has to be the Peripera blush for it's amazing pigmentation.  There is minor fall out, but I really can't fault it as the pay off is more than enough.  I paid roughly £8 and I was impressed with the brush that came with the blush as it was amazing soft.

I have gotten the most compliments on the TonyMoly gloss, which was the product that my friend had and fell in love with.  I never thought I'd be a "kawaii" type of chic, but I can't help fall in love with this.  It is very moisturising and a great conversation starter ;)

I will give a proper review on the brush after I use it tonight, all I have to say now is that it is so soft and I really have high hopes for it.

I gotta run everyone, because tonight is my 5th wedding anniversary dinner date with the hubs and gotta get ready.  See you all soon xx :)
