REVIEW: Benefit Blush in Coralista



Product Brand and Name, Price (CDN), Where Purchased

Benefit Blush in Coralista, $32.00 CDN @ Shoppers Drug Mart

Reason for Purchase


Hype. Seriously. That’s the only reason I bought it.

Notable Features

This is a pretty, shimmery, coral colored blush.

Packaging

It comes in a small cardboard box, with a small brush. It tossed the brush in favor of using one of my full-sized blush brushes.

Experience Using Product

Consider this to be the better-pigmented version of NARS Orgasm; the color is VERY similar - I would say it’s a dupe. Coralista is very powdery (produces more blush-dust) compared to Orgasm.

Here is what the product looks like in the box:



And here is a swatch:



Would I Re-Purchase, Recommend, or Reject

I am keeping this review short and simple: I would not re-purchase this product. As I already own Orgasm (and can simply layer it to get better pigmentation), this was a bit of a waste of money for me. It borders on a ‘Reject’ item for me, just because of the fact I already have something similar in color to it. I am sure I will use it, but I really wish I hadn’t bought it.

I would recommend this to someone who does not already own Orgasm. Buying this blush is no cheaper than NARS, so if you don’t own either it really boils down to which brand you would rather buy.

To clarify - just so we're all on the same page, I do not hate this product. It's pretty decent; my experience with it was just poor because I already own something very similar to it.

If you would like to get your hands on Coralista, you can order it from Sephora or try checking out your local Shoppers Drug Mart.
