Benefit CORALista

I will be doing my first review today on a product that I have owned for quite some time now. I think I bought this product in April of 2011. It’s the CORALista blush box from Benefit. I bought this from Ulta for $28 dollars (for .28 oz) you can also purchase this on sephora.com and benefit.com, or at a Sephora.

The box that I have is the original box where the lid is separate from the box itself and I hate this design, it’s not very convenient. I noticed that all of the newer boxes are starting to have the lid attached now, so I’m happy to see the change!

This blush is a coral, peachy pink that has some golden shimmer in it. When I apply this blush, it is very illuminating and warms the completion. Many times when I wear this, I don’t feel the need to add a cheek highlighter on top of this because it is so brightening. It applies smooth and has decent color payoff. (In one of the pictures below I have the color built up on the left and sheered out on the right) This color works best on lighter to medium skin tones. I think on darker skin tones this could look a little ashy.

One thing that is big positive for me with this blush is the scent. It has a light floral scent to it. You can’t smell it too much on your cheeks but you can when you open up the box to apply it. I’m not a huge fan of floral scents but this one is light enough that it is very pleasant and not overpowering.

This blush is a little on the expensive side at $1 per every .1 oz but with the color and scent, I think it is well worth it and I would defiantly repurchase this product.

Do any of you have this blush? If so, let me know what you think of it!

Always will be,

  1. thanks for stopping by at my blog. i hate benefit packaging with a passion! those stupid cardboards really wind me up! I've depotted mine and stuck them in a palette. Saying that, I do love Benefit's blushes! I have a few but coralista is missing in my collection. I think I'll get it next time along with the new one - hervana.
