Bihada Ichizoku Cheek Beige

Today I’m reviewing a peachy blush from Lovelabo’s Bihada Ichizoku beauty line. This beauty line is noted for its sheet masks, and these masks have been exceptionally popular ever since their conception in May 2006.


Name: Bihada Ichizoku 美肌一族 Cheek チーク Beige ベージュ
Price: S$ 20.90 for 5 g
@cosme rating: 4.5
Release date: 1.9.2007

It comes in two variations, pink and beige.

Packaging: It comes in a pretty box but the case itself is plain and not impressive at all =[


Colour: A pretty peach with silvery shimmer. This silvery sheen is very subtle.

Texture: It has a smooth and fine texture and it’s so easy to blend. This blush is very pigmented, so do apply with a light hand.

Peach blushes are very natural and they give you a flattering sun-kissed glow… however, I still prefer pinks XD I'll leave you girlies with a teaser of the items that I'm reviewing next:


Thank you all for reading ^^

Marigold has a good colour payoff, and all three powder shadows are silky smooth with a refined pearly sheen. The champagne white cream based shade is glittery and it's perfect for adding some dimension to looks. They are easy to apply and blend.
