I got this on the same day when I bought my second Dandelion. It was such a lovely soft peachy blush that I just had to have. I had heard stories about it's not showing up on many girls, even some of the very light skin toned. However, I was glad that it did show on me when I tried. It's been a very useful staple item in my collection and it has traveled to many places with me and the quirky packaging actually works. It's another HG of mine.
Colour:
Benefit Georgia is a multi-functional pressed powder in the colour of light shimmering pale peach. It appears a deeper peach in the box than on the skin. I don't think this will work for very tanned girls as it's quite sheer on me and if I want to use it as a blush, It has to be buffed and layered on. Compared to Shu Uemura Glow On P Peach 40A, this is slightly more peachy and brighter and more pigmented (but it's still a very sheer colour.)
BeneFit Georgia VS. Shu P Peach 40A
Texture:
This is very soft and slightly powdery even though it is pressed hard into the cardboard box. The powder comes off the box very easily. The texture is softer and more powdery than Shu Glow On P Peach 40A and BeneFit Dandelion.

Application:
Personally, I use this mainly as a peachy nude blush and an eye brightener (alone or as a base shade.) It is also good to be used as a highlighter for face and neckline because of its translucent character.
Scent: Georgia had a delicate peach scent when I first got it but eventually it smells just like the rest of the Benefit Powders that I have. I am not sure why? Maybe I shouldn't have placed them next to each other? Anyway, it is still a very pleasant scent and not detected once applied. You have to sniff the powder in order to smell it.
Packaging:
It comes in a square cardboard box like. It also includes a brush in the shape of a bloom and the size of the box for the application. The brush is indispensable for me due to the special design of the packaging. The bristles of the brush are soft. Though personally I do not like cardboard packaging, my experience with Dandelion leads me to believe the packaging of this Georgia will be equally as sturdy and durable.
Price:
This is priced at 129 MYR/39.6578 USD in Malaysia so it's quite expensive! (It's only 28USD on Sephora.) However, its 10 g./ 0.35 oz. big size content makes up its high price tag. My first Dandelion, used daily for over a year, was still 80% (or even more) full when swapped away. It surely is a great investment. (I just wish BeneFit was cheaper in Malaysia!)

Georgia sounds lovely, but I think I'll get Dandelion first because I prefer pinkish shades for blusher. Thanks for the review though, because Georgia is now on my pending list! And oh, by the way, I always thought the brush looks useless and cardboard packaging is weak. Now I think otherwise! ^.^
I'm really lemming this now! Even though I think it won't show up much on me...I managed to test it out at the counter, but only on my hand. So it's hard to say. But I did like the shimmery glow i saw. :-)
Great review!!
"this site has stolen my content?"
I'm a bit confused ^^
