Holika Holika Peach Girl BB Cream Review & Swatches
Holika Holika Peach Girl BB Cream is an old favorite of mine that deserved a little love today on my site. Released in Korea sometime ago it was one of the few BB Creams offered by Holika Holika at the time.
No it doesn’t smell like peaches sadly but it does contain a peach lip and cheek tint of that makes up for the lack of fragrance.
Take a peek!
Unfortunately, Holika Holika Peach Girl BB Cream comes in two shades selections so it is limited to the typical two shade Asian BB Cream release.
This comes in a squeeze tube and the cap contains a small mirror and a peach shade of lip and cheek cream. I think the peach blush is darling on my cheeks and produces a nice glowing shade with a high pigment for building however, on lips it has a chalky, dry look that’s very zombie-like so I’d avoid using it on lips and stick to cheeks. The formula is creamy and blends very easily!
I love this BB Cream so much because it’s the perfect light beige shade for my skin. If you’re around NC10-15 it should suit you well but I am leaning towards saying NC20-25 (I believe I’m a 25 or a 30?) it should adjust well as I use it and have no issues with looking pasty.
This has a creamy, not too thick texture with a less than hydrating feel. Compared to other BB Creams I don’t find this terribly moisturizing or hydrating. It blends and absorbs easily into my skin creating a beautiful, perfected finish with coverage that can go from sheer to medium. Redness, blemishes, acne scarring, it should easily conceal these issues without a problem. The finish feels semi-matte to me almost hydrating but not quite. It does not accentuate my drier patches and settles over them like a second-skin even hiding them almost.
I get a great wear from this with a 12 hour day under my belt and not an issue of fading at all. Good BB Creams rarely fade or oxidize on me which is one reason I prefer them over any other coverage.
It has a fairly nice sun protection as well at SPF 37 PA++. However, I always feel like I need to really pile it on to get that sort of protection so using sunscreen prior would be a smarter idea.
Overall, Holika Holika Peach Girl BB Cream is one of those no nonsense BB Creams that delivers excellent wear in a fuller coverage formula that creates flawless, beautiful skin with breathable, weightless coverage. As for the peachy lip and cheek cream, that’s just a fun extra isn’t it?

Glad you’re back to doing some Korean beauty products, Muse!
This has been on my wants list and I’m really tempted to get this, but the new Sweets line for Etude is also calling my name…
glad to hear it tiffany as not everyone likes them.
yeah been reviewing the sweet recipe collection recently def cute stuff!
Hmm, I’ve yet to like a holika holika bb cream (I have the moisture petit and watery petit) because they oxidize very orangey on my skin, but this one looks nice. I might consider trying it out (it’s not to often that I see things that would work on skin paler than nc15).
Mmmm, Muse this looks great!
I was in Seattle this past weekend for Emerald City Con (got to meet Ben Templesmith and Jhonen Vasquez! EEEE!!), and was saddened by the lack of Asian cosmetics to buy there…only place I could find was a tiny counter at Uwajimaya. Anyone know of a good place to hit up next time I go? :O
ahhh that’s brilliant! INVADER ZIM!
hmmm in Seattle I’m clueless. Perhaps someone else can reply?
I went to a panel that starred Richard Horvitz (Zim) and Rikki Simmons (Gir); they were absolutely hilarious! XD
ooo do you think they uploaded on youtube?!
There’s an archive of all the panels:
http://flipon.tv/event/emerald-city-comicon-2013//
but it costs $15
I did find a small clip on youtube, though:
http://youtu.be/sKcle7zQ_MY
actually I’m considering dishing the $15 as some of the panels are awesome ;-D thanks Nat!
oooo! i have this in #2 but it’s still a little light for me. My skin isn’t as nice as yours so the coverage is not enough for me. What shade do you have?
this is shade 1 cinnabunnie! I’m surprised
it offers fairly excellent coverage!
I always wanted to try this, but every time I look for swatches, the shades they offer are definitely not for me.
is this color 1 or color 2 that you swatched?
1
Ohhh this looks adorable! What a clever combo, and the peach color is delightful. I will have to pick this up on my next trip to Korea!
Which shade is that? I looked and didn’t see if it was #1 or #2.
1 rebe
This stuff was great when I tried it, but too much for my sensitive skin. The shade wasn’t bad at all (I’ve not been shade-matched by MAC, but I’m definitely less than an NC15). My favorite face product right now is the Missha Signature BB Cream in 13.
Hi Muse!
Is that the shade 1 or 2 you have there?
I think I may be too dark for most Korean bb creams now (about nc30) I think the only one I have that’s dark enough is the missha perfect cover in the new shade 27)
that’d be 1 jackie
don’t say that as many adapt well 
it’s just a matter of finding a good one!
omg the blush in the cap! this is so up my alley
One BB cream that smells like nice peaches is the skinfood Peach Sake BB Cream!
I have the skinfood peach sake BB cream it smells AMAZINGGGGG but it makes me soooo oily after a few hours
Quite fond of this one, gives a flawless finish. My oily forehead doesn’t care much for it but it wears very well over all.
Purchase this myself, and I have to agree with you that this is a wonderful product. Wears great even for my oily skin.
I just have to to know. What is that lip product you’re wearing? You look dashing.
aw thanks crotchfairy that would be pop of cherry from maybelline’s LE vivids.
I use the darker of the two shades and love it during the winter time! I seem to get a little too oily with it in the t-zone in the summer. It has a nice finish and covers well.
I love this one on you! I love the Holika Holika brand <3
thank you misses
I was considering buying this! Because of the nice little added benefit of the cheek tint. XD I didn’t though, instead went for SKIN79 Hot Pink Enterlongnamehere BB Cream on Amazon. I also grabbed a Rilakkuma case for cheap.
I’ve been eyeing this for quite a long time now, but I think I’ll try the Face Shop oil-free BB, as this might prove a bit heavy on my skin
Do u have shade # 1 or #2?
1
Gorgeous look you’re rocking up there, Muse! Love those red lips. I have this in shade #2 and although I like the formula for my combo-oily skin, it’s a bit too light for me to wear except in the winter (when of course my skin leans dry!). Nice formula though, I should try to creme blush already. Are you wearing it in the photo?
hi hapa thanks dear!
yeah, that’s the blush on my cheeks.
Muse…Please, more Korean BB creams. I have finally found that these wonderful little concoctions actually will match(but not until 5 minutes after application) my fair, pink skin tone. I have tried several, but I am in search for my Holy Grail. Foundation, skincare, and sunscreen all in one makes the Korean BB creams a worthwhile purchase for saving time and money and looking good in the process….
eileen if you check the bb cream archives I have a ton of great reviews
Def agreed, they are marvelous and so happy you discovered the joy! yay!
I really don’t think your nc30, nc25 might be pushing it even. You said you wear brtc jasmine bb cream right? That’s almost a perfect match for me (a tad too pink based) so unless it color matches like cray cray on you I don’t think your that dark lol
i need to go to mac and get shaded ;-D I’ve NO idea what shade I am in mac foundations, I’m kinda saying nc25? but not sure?! I’m surprise jasmine is a good match for you, that’s kinda creamy beige.
I have to agree with cj, Muse! I’m nw30 and my skin is quite a bit darker than yours. I’m Italian and have that tanned look if that give you an idea of my coloring lol. I know you aren’t color matched though so its ok haha I hope I’m not coming off as being mean!
you’re not mean at all gabriella…I haven’t a clue what my shade is in mac ;-D def should get fitted!
When I go to NY we’ll spend the day at MAC n get you all fixed up
YES come! when!?
Well if I put myself in a box and ship overnight via FedEx I should be there sometime tomorrow
, hopefully they don’t have to cut me in half…
oh you’d be no use to me cut in half perhaps eyelash glue to put you back together!? I’m waiting on my porch for you now. I’ll sleep out here staking the fed ex man for your arrival!
Oooh gurl be careful last time I did that my FedEx guy got a restraining order on me
LOL!
I’d say you’re an NC 25, maybe NW. But def not NC30. You def should go get matched just so u can stop guessing lol.
I don’t use mac foundation so that’s why I’ve never bothered having them check my shade
Lol and I’m surprised it matches you
if it were more yellow toned it’d be perfect for me. Have you tried their “auto makeup pat” thingy? I bought the bb cream in a set with it, I am seriously loving it who knew a vibrating sponge would apply makeup so beautifully lol
ugh I have one with the Etude House Set and HATE it but very tempted to try the BRTC set to see if it is better. Every tried Lancome’s Oscillation (spelling?)? awesome powder foundation, vibrating sponge, works incredible!
I have this one (shade 1), I really like it too. The coverage does a lot for when my skin is broken out, and it doesn’t make my skin oily like some of my other BB’s do. It also seems to last forever.
I don’t use the blusher though, as it accentuates my pores like crazy. Never tried it with a good primer, so maybe that would cure the issue but without something to help the surface of my skin is like looking at the moon >:
Btw, I am so glad ur back to reviewing more Korean beauty products! I’m obsessed with them! Keep the Asian reviews comin’!
thanks glad to hear it
!
Yeah, I don’t wear Mac foundations either, but I love their bb cream compact!
Looks fabulous on you and I love the peachy bonus! I’m using lioele triple the solution bb cream at the moment but I just recently bought missha perfect cover bb cream so waiting for that to come in the mail. After trying the lioele bb cream recently I think I prefer them to foundations too as they make my skin look really smooth.
aw thanks heather
Lioele makes some great bbs!
It’s alright, I found the happy booster translucent face powder review
great
I just got this yesterday and I love it. I’m a touch lighter than NW15 and it’s perfect on me.
I have been in the search for a good bb cream I find for me i dont like using foundations as much anymore I dont like the heavy feel so I turned to tinted moisterizer laura mercier I love her. I also come to find I want to experiment w bb creams but the western kind dont do much for me. ugh any opinions on what to try?
hi monica check under my archives “Bb cream” I have a TON of reviews/suggestions
