Tender Peach is a bright, muted pinky peach. The color is very opaque, the formula is very smooth and the finish is glossy. As far as long wearing.. not so much. Rouge Volupte doesn't have the best staying power.. and for $34 a tube.. It is quite pricey for a lipstick that you may need to constantly reapply. Nevertheless, it comes in a beautiful, classy gold tube and the color and consistency on the lips is amazing. This is my 2nd Rouge Volupte (I own #2 Sensual Silk as well) and I now have got my eyes on #13 Peach Passion and

#30 Faubourg Peach.

Here are some swatches I took indoors with a soft flash. I swatched Tender Peach next to a couple of lipsticks I found similar in color.

Tender Peach looks almost exactly like Just Peachy except for the fact that the finishes are completely differnt. Tender Peach has a high shine glaze finish, while Just Peachy is matte. I'm not sure if my mind was playing tricks on me or not after staring at both swatches.. but Tender Peach seems to be the tiniest bit more peach toned than Just Peachy. Shygirl is the lighest of the three and has the strongest peach tone. Tender Peach actually looks like the Love Child of Shygirl and Just Peachy.. It's like the exact mixture of the two shades.
Here are some additional swatches with no flash. These swatches are a better representation of the shades. (Sorry there are so many, I figured the more the merrier)
