THE VERDICT:

Benefit has come up with these fantabulous lipglosses to complement the cult favorite, Box O' Powder blushes! Don't you just love it? They're coming to the Philippines this July, so please keep an eye for these babies. In the meantime, have a taste of Coralista. Click READ MORE and read my thoughts on this product!

Ingredients

The Box O' Powder lipglosses come in soft and lightweight squeeze- type plastic tubes.

It also has a slanted applicator for easier and hygienic dispensing. I wonder: To those who have lip glosses with this kind of applicator--Do you put the applicator directly onto your lips? Or do you squeeze some product on a finger instead? I do the latter because I'm afraid the whole thing might be contaminated with bacteria if I put it directly on my lips.

But I digress...

Coralista is a warm peach color. It's very reminiscent of the Coralista Box O' Powder blush, and I find that it's not very pigmented. It just yields a touch of color to your lips. It can be used on its own or on top of lipstick. I prefer using it on its own because I don't like topping my lipstick with lipgloss. I love the moderate pigmentation because I like my lipgloss discreet. Consistency is non- sticky, texture is very smooth, and has a fruity scent, yet no weird taste. I like.

Here's Coralista on me. Wonder why it's called 'Ultra Plush'? It is because it leaves a soft and satin-y barrier on your lips when it comes off. Other lip glosses leave your lips feeling sticky and heavy but this one? Na-ah. The barrier feels as if I'm wearing an invisible veil of lip balm, and it feels lovely!

Staying power is not pretty good, which is true for all lip glosses. But hey, we always retouch our makeup, so I don't find this as a problem. :)
