Review: Makeup: Benefit Cosmetics Georgia powder blush

September 16, 2007 Paris B 8 Comments

Update: I believe Georgia has been discontinued, much to my dismay!

I’d go so far as to stick my head out and say that Benefit Cosmetics has 3 iconic products that people either love or hate. They are Dandelion, Georgia and Benetint.I was planning to review both Dandelion and Georgia together as they fall in the same category, but its not happening. So, you get to read my review on Georgia instead. I’ll do Dandelion when it gets to me.

Georgia is marketed as an all over face brightening powder and not a blush. However, I won’t personally recommend that you use it all over your face because although the colour is subtle, there is a peach tone to it.

The colour is very very light but that is the attraction because although it is so light, it does impart a peach tint to the skin that somehow makes you seem to glow with health. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but every time I use this blush, I get friends telling me that I’m looking exceptionally good that day. When I look in the mirror too, I see a faint peach flush on the cheeks that looks very natural.

There is minimal shimmer and it doesn’t show up much on the skin. Don’t even bother to try it on the back of your hands. You’ll be very disappointed because you won’t see anything. However, on the cheeks, its a different story. It goes on very sheer and light so don’t expect to see color straight off. I initially thought it was quite a disappointment as it did not show up, until I had people telling me that I was looking radiant.

However, since its peach toned, I don’t think it’ll suit those of cooler skin tones. Warm skintones will benefit from this powder (no pun intended!) as will those with fair skin tones. If you have darker skin tone, I’m not sure if the radiance will show up too because this powder is very light.

There is a peachy smell which doesn’t bother me and goes away after application. If you are sensitive to smells then maybe watch out for this one. It isn’t strong, but I know of people who hate it nevertheless.

This powder/blush retails at Benefit Cosmetics counters at RM129. If you can get it in the USA or on www.benefitcosmetics.com its $28.

Pros: Light, brightening qualities

Cons: Light, fragranced, expensive

    Hi Paris,
    Have you bought online from benefitcosmetics.com?
    If we purchase item around USD200 there, will there be any tax when it reach here?

    PB says: I haven’t bought from the online store so I dare not say. From previous experience I’ve never had problems with any cosmetics though but I honestly cannot say.

    er… i tot this 1 is illuminative powder like in stila’s… coz i went to their counter that day, the SA explained one by one items they have there to me.. she said that the blushers from benefits are dallas, 10 and the benetint.

    even dandelion also not a blusher.. its some type of finishing powder to make our skin look more vibrant..

Famous last words 😅 Can’t believe how tiny he was last CNY. I could make him do whatever I wanted. Now, he’s got a mind of his own and it’s “no treats, no work!” 🤪
It’s an unusual Chinese New Year this year. It’s the first time since I left home that I did not make an early morning drive home for CNY for the reunion dinner (I always do so to beat traffic). It’s the first time I’m spending CNY in KL. It’s the first time my hair is looking such a mess for CNY 😂
Regardless, we do this not for ourselves but for others so we can have more joyful CNY celebrations to come. 
Wishing all of you a Happy, healthy Chinese New Year filled with Ox-picious tidings 🧧 Gong Xi Fa Cai and enjoy the festive break! ❤️
Low key CNY celebrations this year. No need to dre Low key CNY celebrations this year. No need to dress up or put on makeup since we’re staying home, but I’ll be damned if I don’t smell like a million bucks from head to toe! 🥰
I never appreciated hair mists but the Chanel No. 5 Hair Mist is a nice, light way to enjoy the perfume. Who says you can only spray on your hair? 😬
What’s your CNY shaping up like?
