Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be talking about the Etude House Lovely Cook ie Blushers! I co mpleted the set of these blushes sometime last year, an d it's take n me a couple of month s to photograph and review these blushes because I had a very hard time capturing how these blushes look on the cheeks which is super frustrating. This is quite a lengthly post with 58 images ( RIP page loading time ) so gr ab a cup of coffee and get settled in!



"A blusher that supplies cheeks with vivid color for a peppy and gorgeous look by just light dabbing with the included lovely puff. The BEST pink blush in 2015 awarded by 'Get it Beauty'

- Blur effect: The unique powder that reflects shine to various ways to express bright skin color is used to deliver excellent application and delicate vivid colors.



- Long lasting: Sebum Control Powder tech is applied to absorb sebum to maintain fresh makeup and it contains Coating Pigment for long-lasting clear makeup.



- Lovely Puff: Fluffy cushion type puff helps blend and build beautifully to desired intensity."( 1

These blushes have super cute, but super impractical packaging. It's really hard to store 12 round, dome topped blushes without them just rolling around everywhere, ugh! In general, these blushes all have fantastic pigmentation, apply easily and don't make pores appear any larger. They have a fantastic shade range with some unusual colours thrown in, and for around $5-8USD they are fantastically well priced.





Strawberry Mousse Strawberry Mousse is a super light baby pink. This is a shade I wouldn't have purchased if I had the chance to swatch it, because it's just so light!

It literally blends into my skin! I still find value in this shade though, when placed very high on my cheeks it almost acts as a incredibly natural looking highlighter and gives me a wee bit of coverage!

I still enjoy this shade though, it's not something I reach for often, but it's quite nice paired with a bold lip! Strawberry Choux Strawberry Choux is a light baby pink. This shade is one of my go-to blushes. It's the perfect baby-doll pink and makes any make up instantly look cuter!

It's not so light pink that it looks fake though, it still looks pretty natural! This is one of the shades that I recommend grabbing if you're into pink shades.

3 Raspberry Tarte

Raspberry Tarte is a vibrant fuschia pink with silver shimmer. This shade is different to the majority of my blushes which I think is pretty cool, it's a really vibrant shade too!

I only need the tiniest amount of this blush to give my cheeks a super natural looking flush. Though since it is such a vibrant shade, this one does tend to make me look slightly clownish if I go overboard.

I really like this shade, it's natural and easy to apply.

4 Carrot Cheesecake

Carrot Cheesecake is an o range shade with gold glitter. This shade is definitely more glitter than colour! You can't see much of the orange pigment on my cheeks, but you definitely can see the gold glitter! It's almost like a highlighter, but not quite. This shade isn't something that I reach for often, but it's still pretty!



5 Apricot Pudding

Apricot Pudding is a c ute pale orange. This shade is such a pale orange that it almost blends into my skin! >< It does look visably orange on my cheeks and when packed on which is a little weird for me, but it's still pretty cute!

This one doesn't really look that natural on my skin, but it's still quite pretty!

6 Grapefruit Jelly

Gra pefruit Jelly is a p retty coral pink. This is another of the very nondescript shades in the collection, it's perfectly lovely, but also perfectly plain.

This shade is quite pigmented and it doesn't take much to give my cheeks a cute peachy glow! It's very natural, it is a fantastic shade if you don't have something too similar!

7 Rose Sugar Macaron

Rose Sugar Mac aro n is a r ose pink with gold glitter. As you can probably tell by my chipped blush pan and quite frankly rachet looking puff, this is the first shade I ever purchased and I still love it!



I adore this shade so much, it's another one of those perfect colours for my skin that doesn't look like I'm trying to paint my face into something that it's not.

This is a shade that I think would look lovely on most people, so if you are wanting one shade from this blush range I highly suggest this one!



8 Blueberry Pie

Blueberry Pie is a light lavender shade with silver shimmer. This shade is another one that I wouldn't have purchased if I wasn't a crazy collection hoarder, but is actually pretty nice!



Luckily this doesn't look nearly as purple on the skin as it does in the pan, and gives a very luminous loo king flush to the skin!

It's almost like a very, very cool toned pink rather than an outright purple. I have never had anyone question my slightly purple cheeks so I take that as a good sign that it's not too out there!

Since this is one of the very hard to find shades, I've also swatched it in comparison to the Etude House Dreaming Swan blush in Releve Purple. The Releve Purple is also pretty hard to find, but at least I can still find a few to purchase rather than none for the Blueberry Pie! Releve Purple is a little pinker than Blueberry Pie, definitely less pigmented and has more of a slight sparkle rather than the silver shimmer in Blueberry Pie.

9 Sweetberry Muffi n

Sweetberry Muffin is the p erfect pretty pink. This is another of those perfectly pretty pinks, though it's a little deeper in tone than Strawberry Choux. I'll compare them at the end of the post too!



This is such a cute pink shade, it's less of a babydoll pink in comparison to Strawberry Choux and more of a mature pink.

I really like this shade too! It's really wearable for me, it goes with any sort of "look" that I'm doing and since it's quite pigmented I don't need to pack it on to get a good rosy flush.



10 Peach Parfait

Peach parfait is a p eachy o range shade. This shade is a perfectly plain peachy orange shade. It's lovely, but nothing extremely ground breaking.

It gives me a very natural look, it's not like a flushed look, but still very natural



11 Peach Choux Wafer

Peach Choux Wafer is a m uted deep peach. This is another of the more unique shades that I didn't already own! I hate the way this looks in the pan because to me it just looks so bleh, but when swatched it's such a lovely muted peach, almost like a light terracotta!



This is another one of my favourite shades on my skin (lord I'm sure you're sick of me saying this by now) because it looks so cute and natural!
