Etude House Fresh Cherry Blusher Duo

Hey girls, as you all may know, Etude House had its grand opening of their flagship store in Mega Mall last month. And with the help of Gem (since I got lost finding the store in mega mall) I dropped by, and I must say, the designer of the store did a great job because of its bright lights and inviting interiors, not to mention the cute uniforms of the SAs. So I looked around for a good 45 minutes and I fell in love with their cream blush duo.
They call it the Fresh Cherry Blusher Duo.




It comes in a small compact which has a mirror. The packaging is light weight and very convenient considering you are carrying around 2 different shades.



The blush names I cannot read since it is in Korean hehe but on the left is a Pinkish/Plum color while the one on the right is a more Peachy color.

Here is a poor attempt at the color swatch on my arm. Forgive me on the poor poor photo quality. :( As much as I wanted to try them on my cheeks, my face is in no condition to be photographed now. :(



But you can see even from the poor photo quality that each cream blush is really pigmented and the color you see on the pan is what you will get once applied on skin. :)

Tip: Use a clean brush for each color, apply on skin, then spread with fingers. Do not dip the brush again and/or use your fingers to dip for sanitary purposes. Using a spatula will be better but tends to pick up more color than needed (as you can see on picture above). hehe


What I like:
- Very light on skin, feels like nothing once applied
- Very Pigmented
- Good Staying Power
- Has a very light Cherry Scent hehe
- Compact packaging
- CHEAP! It's only PHP398!!

What I don't like:
- Hope they come up with more colors since this is the only cream duo available


Overall, I think this cream duo blush is a great buy! It is cheap, very light on skin and I have 2 blushes in 1! This is my first cream blush purchase and now I can see the ease of use with a cream blush.

It is also possible to mix the 2 cream blush colors to come up with a new color (but I haven't tried it yet hehe).

This product will merit a repurchase for me once I run out. I probably will be using this cream blush for days when I don't want to be heavy on make up like trips to the mall or the parks. :) I like to set this cream blush with Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil since it doesn't alter the color of the cream blush.

Yayy to my first cream blush from Etude House! :)


Toodles! :)

  1. Wow. This is exactly what I've been looking for! I've been wanting a cream blush because people have been telling me how pale I look. I wanted something to help brighten up my complexion but I have dry skin so I don't want to use powder blush. I also couldn't decide between a pinky or a peachy color so this duo is fantastic! :D

    Is it easy to blend on the skin?

  6. Thanks for reviewing Fresh Cherry Blusher Duo.
    I never tried putting blush-on in my face kasi di talaga ako mahilig sa make-up. Siguro I wear blush-on occassionally lang. Pero nung nalaman kong may Etude House na dito which is a korean beauty store, parang I wanna try it rin lalo na tong blush duo. Maputi kasi ako and maputla pa, kaya para hindi naman mukhang plain ung face ko, lol. I'll definitely try that product soon.

    thanks ah! wala pa silang concealer dun tapos ung iba pa like ung eyeliner... sana may binili karing ganun haha para nareview mo.
