AMW Reviews: Benefit Coralista Blush

Benefit blushes has been known to be a hit rather than a miss to most beauty bloggers worldwide!  I have always been lemming for Benefit's Box O' Powders but I waited until I visit a country that sells Benefit to get myself one!  

Lucky me, the brand arrived our shores and I can easily try these on prior to purchasing!  One of my favorite Benefit Blush is Hervana and I always pair this blush with a pink toned lipstick!  On days I want to look warm and healthy, my to-go-to blush is the Benefit Coralista as my Nars Orgasm blush is in my train case for good!

Pros

• Cute box.
• Has a tiny hint of scent.
• Good pigmentation.  Build-able shade.
• Gives a very natural glow.
• Gives an instant "warm" on your overall look even without much makeup on.
• Flattering on most skin tone.
• Has a nice hint of shimmer but not too much.
• Blush lasts up to 6 hours for normal and dry skin, around 4 hours for oily skin.

Cons

• Price.
• Putting back the brush without the divider may break the blush powder.

Overall
Versatile blush shade that works for most skin tone.  Good pigmentation, gives a nice glow to overall look.

Tips
from Benefit

• Swirl brush in the box & blow off excess. 
• Smile & brush lightly across the apples of your cheeks, starting from the hairline and working in. 
• Then lightly dust over high point of face for that touch of sunshine!

from AMW

•  Do not throw out the "divider" that comes with the packaging as to protect the blush powder from the brush.
• Wash the brush upon purchase to make it softer.
• If you have fair to medium toned skin, apply with light-hand for a very natural warm glow.
• If you have medium dark to darker skin, apply a bit more for the color to pop.
• Just like any other powdered blush, to make the blush last longer, use a cream blush underneath.

Will I repurchase?
This box will last me for a long time so I guess I'll try other shades for now!  Any other recommendations?

To whom do I recommend this to?
Anyone into peachy pink blush that gives a natural, warm glow.

Made of natural hair with a wooden handle.

Coralista on Box

Warm peachy pink with a hint of shimmer. Based on my observation, this looks like the lighter version of the famous NARS Orgasm. 

Swatch on fingers

Light hand application from the apples of my cheeks going upwards

Without eye makeup and lipstick, a swipe of Benefit Coralista Blush makes me look more lively.

What is your favorite Benefit Box O' Powders?
