Packaging:
The Peony Blush comes in a sleek and shiny black round compact. The powder is pressed with the outline of the Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon. The included mini face blender brush is a small blush brush. I couldn't really find out on the Bobbi Brown website whether the brush is synthetic or natural but the bristles have a nice texture that picks up powders really well.
Formulation:
Peony is a pretty baby pink matte with no shimmers or sparkles. The formulation is super soft, creamy, and smooth and the color gives the cheeks a very natural flush. This blush reminds me a lot of Down Boy from The Balm, which is one of my all-time favorite blushes.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and to contribute to the cause, Bobbi Brown is offering a limited edition Peony Blush Set ($58 CAD). With a pretty pink blush and a mini face blender brush, this set will be available all throughout the month of October and $12 from the sale of each set will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
