AMW Reviews: Benefit Ultra Plush Lip Gloss in Poutrageous

Hi AMW family!  I want to sing the song "We Are Family" at the moment as that's how I feel between me and you!  *naks* *Group Hug*

I don't think there will be a day that I'm going to just sit, relax and do nothing! Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, but seriously, typing this blog post is a breathe of fresh air!  This is my "me" time and I am actually smiling right now!  (Just so you know, baby AMW is sleeping soundly at the moment) :P #KayaPala 

Anyways, Benefit's Color Collection was launched mid last year and I actually had the chance to try these products (during Photoshoot) before they were out in stores!  As much as I want to try them on me, I had to stop myself from doing so but use these lovely glosses on models instead   Read: BTS Ladies of Benefit Lane Photoshoot and AMW Makeovers: Benefit's Ladies of Benefit Lane.

I'm not sure how I got the New Ultra Plush Lip Gloss but I finally got my hands on Poutrageous shade after the launch!  Thanks Benefit Philippines for sending me this to try! 


Benefit says ---
The plushness is poutrageous! Our soft & silky glosses glide on sooo smooth, drenching lips in luscious color that’s never sticky. From crystal clear to hot pink, the luxurious formulas give your lips a kissable, sexy sheen.


Size: 15 mL, 0.5 US fl. oz.
Shades: Icebreaker, A-lister, Lollibop, Kiss You, Poutrageous!, Fauxmance

Ingredients:

AMW says ---
Pros
  • Nice packaging.
  • Smooth, gel-like consistency.
  • Non-sticky.
  • Non-drying and does not enhance lip lines.
Cons
  • Just like any lip glosses, not as long-lasting as compared to lipsticks.
  • To those looking for highly pigmented lipgloss, these aren't.  These are more of a sheer gloss with light to medium coverage.
Neutral
  • Scent.  Some may like it, some may not.
Overall
Sheer to light medium coverage lipgloss with high-shine, none of the stickiness with a bit of hydration.

Tips
  • Use with lip brush or cotton bud if you plan to use this on clients or friends.
  • Always wipe off the tip after every use.
  • For the color to pop a bit, conceal your lips with a lip primer, foundation or concealer before applying the Ultra Plush Lip Gloss.
  • For better pigmentation, apply this on top of your favorite lipstick.
Will I repurchase?Yes.  I love Icebreaker (Clear) to create "moist" and sexy lips on clients!

To whom do I recommend this to?
Lipgloss lovers who love fruity scent.

Where to purchase and how much?
At local Benefit Counters for Php900.00 (approx $20.93).
