More Comparison of Peach Blushes

After replying to Ann’s comment, I realise that I have one more peach blush to compare HK F&G with.  That is MAC’s Dainty Mineralize Blush. 

So I took some photos again and lo and behold, it looks to be that HK is not similar to any of the 3 other peach blushes I own.

Peach Blushes Comparison 1

L-R clockwise:  HK Fun & Games, MAC Dainty, MAC Fafi Hipness and NARS Orgasm

HK F&G, MAC Dainty, NARS Orgasm

Upon closer inspection, you can see that Dainty is even closer to NARS Orgasm than Hipness (Hipness is ‘rouge-ier’)

MAC Fafi Hipness, MAC Dainty, NARS Orgasm

Now, these 3 definitely belong to a group.  NARS Orgasm will have the highest level of iridescence, followed by MAC Dainty then Fafi’s Hipness will be the most matte blush of the 3.

Comparison of Fafi and HK Peach Blushes

There were some talk going around that the HK Fun & Games Blush is similar to Fafi Hipness Blush.  So I did a comparison since I have the two.  And my conclusion is that:  they do not have an ounce of similarity where I am concern.

Here is a pix of the MAC Fafi Hipness Blush

This is a comparison of the two, side by side:

Fafi and HK Blush 2 Fafi and HK Blush 1

You can see that the Fafi is much ‘redder’ than Fun & Games.  Fun & Games is definitely peachier than Hipness.  However, Hipness has more iridescence than F&G which is something very much in character with NARS Orgasm.  So I did a three-way picture comparison below also:

Hmmm, the picture does not show up the iridescence of Hipness IRL but you can clearly see that where colour is concern, Hipness is more like NARS Orgasm rather than F&G.  I hope this help someone:)

My hauls came! Many thanks to dear Whiterz for having the patience to answer my 101 logistical questions and making this haul possible.

I didn’t dare to go overboard for this collection and so being a newly reformed recessionista (yes that’s the term my friends are all using). I shared the haul with another friend. It definately helps that I ordered from one MAC counter rather than over the net cos then my stuff will definately be shipped in one box rather than a few boxes (then I can save on shipping since the redirection service is based on volumetric weight)

Here are the spoils of my little haul:
