And that’s when my father-in-law said something I’ll never forget: “I was traumatized by peaches.”
To clarify, he wasn’t referring to MAC Blush Ombre in Ripe Peach ($25). No, when he spoke those words a few months ago, I’d assumed he was talking about the singer, Peaches, who can be kinda scary, no doubt!
It turns out my father-in-law was talking about a summer job he had as a young man picking peaches.
But I digress…
Ripe Peach, the guest of honor in today’s giveaway, was released with MAC Spring Colour Forecast. Since then it’s become notoriously difficult to find.
If you, too, have been traumatized by peaches — rather by an inability to track this one down — today could be your lucky day!
The prize
One lucky lady will win MAC Blush Ombre in Ripe Peach (a $25 value), a coral powder blush with a finish that’s about halfway between shimmer and matte.
How to enter…
Entering is easy. There are two different ways, and you can do both of them for two chances to win.
First, you can enter by leaving a comment at the bottom of this post. In it, tell me about your current favorite blush.
It’s hard to pick just one, but Blushbaby comes to mind. It’ll always hold a special place in my heart (it was my very first MAC blush). A matte rosy pink with a natural finish, I reach for it when I want a quick, pretty flush.
Second, enter by following me on Twitter and retweeting (RT) the following message:

Urban Decay’s Score blush is my number one right now, it looks good on everyone, and it’s so pretty. It shimmers… is it coral or pink? It’s both! and its my love <3
It would look purrfect on Tabs
I only own two blushes at the moment, and my favorite would probably be Physicians Formula talc-free blush in Rosy Glow!
MAC personal style. it’s a good everyday neutral blush.
my favorite blush is fun and games!
my favorite blush is mac’s fun and games!
My current favorite blush is Orgasm from Nars. I love the flush it gives my face
My current favorite blush is a mineral makeup dupe of NARS Orgasm.
Dude, I’ve been a blush junkie since sixth grade. Right now I’m obsessed with layering Tarte Cheek Stain in Tickled under a VERY gentle touch of TheBalm’s Hot Mama. I love that look of flushed cheeks all winter, and that combo really makes it stay for me. Now if only I could keep my nose from going as red as my cheeks…
OMG this blush looks almost too perfect
my favourite blush atm is MAC Springsheen.
It’s gotta be NARS orgasm for me. It just goes with my skin so well! Except I think the BF is slightly jealous of it. lol
Favourite has to be Rouge Tangerine from Perfumeria Gal in Spain. A touch of soft orange – I love it on the eyes, lips, accessories, everywhere!
MAC mineralize blush in Dainty
Soft and pretty and amazing.
this blush is really pretty!!
.-= monica’s last blog post… Nars Sheer Glow Foundation =-.
my current fave blush is actually a combo of MAC’s Personal Style on my cheeks with TheBalm’s Hot Mama focused at the apple. It gives for a very nice, flushed finish.
My favorite blush at the moment is the new sugarbomb by benefit. I have so many blushes, but I JUST LOVE this one!
Nars orgasm!!
I’m going to cheat and say Benefit Powderazzi; it has Hula, Dallas and Coralista included so I can mix and match!
my fave blush is nars orgasm!
Right now it would be Kevyn Aucoin Tansoleil.
I regret not buying that! Instead i chose to go for lipsticks getting the lady gaga and cindy lauper viva glams! Darn it…. Its sooooo pretty…. PICK me
My favorite is Unrequited from Illamasqua
A very sweet color for fair skin tone like me ^^
bobbi brown shimmerbrick in nectar
gawjussssssss~!
MAC Dainty is my favourite at the moment!
.-= Purity’s last blog post… China Glaze Re-Fresh mint =-.
My current favorite blush is NARS Cactus Flower. I’m quite surprised at how versatile it is!
I’m going to be boring and say Nars Orgasm. It’s the only blush that I’ve ever put on that made me gasp at how nice it looked the first time I put it on. Unfortunately it doesn’t show up as well when I’m a little tanner in summer months.
My second favorate is actually one of the Jane blushes that they have since discontinued. I think it was plum blossom.
Umm, my current favourite is Nars Sin, hadn´t used it in a while, but goes just perfect with my skin tone!
My favorite blush is MAC’s Lovejoy Mineralize blush. It’s my favorite everyday go to blush. It’s the perfect pink for my brown skin.
I am loving an azalea pink cream from 3 Custom Color Specialists. It’s perfection.
Wow, this is so cool, I love this color, but is it opened internationally ?
I’m re-tweeting the message anyway…
.-= diane’s last blog post… Red lips – hot or not? =-.
I love Lorac cheek stamps. I currently use one in a pretty coral shade.
DEF. Nars’ Orgasm! Its so pretty pink!
Mac buff. It was my first blush, I actually never wore blush until my late 20′s. Strange now, but back then I thought of my grandmothers rose cheeks and couldn’t fathom it for myself!!
MAC Springsheen, at the moment!
I have been enjoying Benefit’s Benetint especially because I have been so lazy this week with getting ready in the morning!
thanks for entering me!
fave is dallas from benefit!
My favourite blush would be Nars Orgasm. I only put it on when I need a little perk me up on my face and this blush always makes me feel pretty and confident whenever I have it on.
Currently Well Dressed. Since we’ve been covered in snow for so long, its a natural rosy blush on my skin tone. Wish MAC would stock more of their best items =)
I don’t really have a faveorite blush right now, I am still trying to find the right blush for me!
I think my favourite blush is the Redhead MSF. Since it’s an MSF, it gives me glow and the colour looks like a natural flush.
I am totally into Rock & Republic’s All Nighter
Lancome shimmer mandarin sky
I love MAC’s Stark Naked.
Finally! I have Dollymix… Love it!
Pink swoon is my all-time favorite — it’s a blush that just keeps going!
My favourite blush is MAC’s Hunger Red…it’s a blushcreme and I love its color on my cheeks!!!
RIght now it’s a tie between MAC’s Springsheen and Fun N’ Games….. if I want natural glow I reach for Fun N Games, and if I want a little more color I go for Springsheen
.-= Grace’s last blog post… Curly hair and Quick Face of the Day =-.
Current favourite is MAC On a mission from Style Warriors. But another big favourite of mine is MAC’s Perfect cheek. But I adore peach blushes as well.
Fav blush is Deep Throat by NARS. LOOOVES it! I also use Orgasm sometimes.

I used NARS Madly for a while, but decided I wanted something brighter.
Right now, I’m into the bright pink of Deep Throat.
With a light hand of course!
My fave blush is actually a highlighting powder… Stila Glow in Rose gold
MAC’s Buff blush powder. It seems to be the one I use most.
It’s a Lancome dual color that I got free at Christmas (free w/purchase). I like it but really need something fresh and springy!

A lovely pink with a hint of coral/peachy base. Instantly puts me in a girly mood whenever I have this on!

Benefit Dallas. It’s Gorg!

My favorite blush is actually a Mac eyeshadow pan in “Pink Venus”. It’s a light pink with tiny flecks of glitter in it. I bet you’d love it if they still make it!
My favorite blush at the moment is MAC’s Redhead MSF. Gorgeous blush, highlighter and even eyeshadow all in one.
My current favorite blush is Nars’ Deep Throat. It’s a bit darker than Orgasm, so it looks a bit better on me.
…man this comment sounds weird, haha!
I like Tricia Sawyer’s blush in the Essentials pallette.
Smashbox Blush Rush in Masterpiece, from the Muse collection last spring
Right now I’m totally digging NYX Pinky – this beautiful Barbie pink looks fantastic on my tan skin!
I really want to own one of these Blush Ombres and I’ve been wanting to try an coralish/orangey shade for a while now…
I’ve actually just re-found my Maybelline peach blush – bought a couple of years ago, because “it was the one Carrie used on SATC”
Nars Orgasm.
Pretty Pink Peach Shimmer !
.-= Kia’s last blog post… Valentine’s Day Makeup Tutorial! =-.
I use Benefit Coralista blush every day. I’d like to switch it up, but when it comes down to it, nothing beats my coralista.
This is such a rich color!! It would really brighten up one’s face!
My favorite blush is Orgasm, it really is gorgeous and gives a nice flush to my cheeks. This is the only blush i own, I’m kinda scared of them, lol! But Ripe Peach looks stunning and not too over the top, I’d love to try it out!
I haven’t experimented with all that many blushes, but I love the glow I get from Nars Deep Throat.
My current everyday blush is Madly from NARS. I’ve never tried Mac’s blushes, so I’m definitely curious! The blush ombres look so pretty!
My fave blush ATM is MAC Don`t Be Shy from the Barbie collection – I love it so much, and I keep waiting for it to make a reappearance in a new collection, as I`ve soon finished it *sniffles* Give Tabs a big kiss from me!
Favorite is NARS orgasm by far! My first and favorite blush, and I always come back to it.
Right now, I love Flirt’s Caramel belle.
My all-time fave blush is Mac “Stark Naked!”

My favorite blushes right now are MAC’s Melba + Pink Swoon.
My current favourite blush is umm…the leopard one from too faced and papa don’t peach in second!
I like benetint!
I do not have many Mac blushes as I am just starting to use Mac. So far I would have to say Sincere. Thank you so much for doing the contest. Have a lovely day.
I really like Breath of Plum by MAC. It looks dirty in the pan but it looks really natural on my skin.
My favorite blush is an old-y but a goody- Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in “Peony”
I am loving MAC’s Cheek and cheerful mineralize blush right now. It’s in between a glowy blush and a bronzer. Love it!
Karen, I like Laura Geller’s Ethereal Rose baked blush, which is now 20 percent off on her Web site. XXOO
My favorite blush of all time is pink blush by clinique because it has a nice matte finish with a little bit of shimmer, it adds just a sheer amount of pink to my fair skin!
Plus its under 20 dollars!
Favorite would be Nars Oasis!
I’m currently in love with my Nars Orgasm blush. I think it’s the perfect peachy glowiness
I have to agree that Blushbaby is just an everyday great blush. Never fails.
MAC blush in Gingerly is my current love <3 Looks very natural on me
My current fave (and has been for awhile now) is Nars’ Mata Hari.
I loved this blush when I saw it in the store but just couldn’t justify the price with all the other goodies in the collection. A peachy color would look good with my warmer complexion, I think.
That blush is gorgeous! my fav will have to be Nars Taj Mahal
My favourite blush right now is Mac’s Pink Swoon. I like it for it’s fresh pink loook.
My fav. blush is Nars Orgasm. It always looks perfect

I’m really loving Nars’ Amour blush lately. (: I’m a blush fiiiiend. It’s just sooo gorgeous… I don’t think I wear the same blush color twice in one week. :p
.-= Brigitte’s last blog post… Formulating A Type =-.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE BLUSH! It is my most favorite makeup product ever!! My favorite blush ever is Benefit Dallas…no matter how many blushes I own, I always come back to this…and I’ve actually finished and repurchased this a couple of times already…if you haven’t tried it..you really really should!
It’s hard to choose one since I’m a regulation blush ho, but right now I’m totes diggin’ my BB Nectar Shimmerbrick. So fly. And yes, Peaches is a little frightening… I’ll never forget the first time I heard that song….
My old standby, MAC Pinch o’ Peach is great for this time of year. I feel like it’s a great transition from the murkier winter shades into the bright colors of spring and summer. <3
Mac Melba! It wakes my face up like nobodys business, regardless of whether ive had my 7 hours of sleep or not = ]
love the concept of ombre – so pretty and trendy!!
lovejoy! it’s making me look bronzed and flushed when im not!
my current fave is something local: ever bilena amethyst blush. it’s a peachy brown that looks natural on my morena skin.
Because I don’t wear much foundation (mostly tinted moisturizer) MAC’s creme blush in posey (pink) is a definite fave! It looks so natural and makes my skin look healthy and glowing wear it everyday. LOVE IT!
loreal true match blendable blush in rosy outlook and precious peach. They are super cheap, really pigmented, and come in a ton of colors. You NEED to check them out!
My favorite blush would have to be NARS Desire. It gives me a “just worked out” flush.
favorite blush i’ve ever tried was nars taj mahal
My favorite blush will always be NARS orgasm! It goes well with almost any eye makeup look. I love MAC Tippy blush too, though.
In eager anticipation of spring, I’ve been reaching for Bobbi Brown Shimmer Blush in *Coral* lately. It really wakes up my cold, tired winter complexion, and looks fabulous glowing out from under my Gucci shades, yo
I really, really like Swedish brand Make-Up Store’s shade “Complex”, it’s that perfect pink with a slightly warmer hint to it. A warm shimmery pink that always brings a natural, healthy glow
Love it!
That is a hard one but my fav blush is Revlon;s cream blush in Berry Flirtatious it gives me that “just in from the cold” cheeks that perks up my face every time
nyx angel blush!!! gawd i love it.
My favourite at the moment is catrice Soft Peach, a German brand LE drugstore blush which is the most glowing, light shade of beautiful pinky peach <3
I currently use MAC’s On A Mission daily because I’m in a routine. Looks nice and I feel too uninspired to reach for anything else.

its so hard to pick one! i guess my current favourite blush is Cargo Catalina. Its a bright matte baby pink
MAC’s Hello Kitty Tippy for it’s super pigmented pink blush that I have to use a duo fiber brush to apply. But love it for it pure pink shade. Tided with Chit Chat from Everyday Minerals the colour is DC’d but love the pure pink tone of it that is a bit more on the cooler side.

Hi karen…I would have to say my fav blush is Coygirl by MAC.
I have two blushes that goes for the no.1 place in my heart: MAC’s Enough said blush from last year’s Red she said collection, and Bpurjois’ Ambre D’or (similar to the mac mineralize blushes, it’s also a baked blush)
my favorite at the moment is nyx powder blush in spice, which gives off such a natural flush. it’s great for every day use.
my fave’s atm are the body shop blush in 04, kinda pinky colour with gold sparkle, what i imagine nars orgasm to be like although never seen it IRL, and the revlon matte in rose.

My favorite blush right now is this pink slightly shimmery color just from a makeup kit. It really compliments my skin tone and has great staying power!!

Living up to the hype (for me), Nars’ Orgasm provides the perfect peach shimmer for my cheekbones!
My current love is Detrivore’s Spoiled Blush. Such a awesome pink color!
