Benefit's Coralista
I have to admit Coralista was a bit of an impulse purchase, if I'd have thought about it I may have talked myself out of spending £23.50 on another blush but I'm pleased I did as Benefit's Coralista has quickly become one of my favorite products. I was introduced to Coralista by Lisa Potter Dixon, Benefit's Head Makeup and Trend Artist, when she did my makeup as part of the Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Roadshow. As a beauty blogger I was invited to attend the launch of Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow, so thought why not book in and have my makeup done with Lisa too! Ever since I purchased Coralista it has become a staple of my makeup routine and I have no idea why I have waited until now to review it!Coralista is one of Benefit's boxed blushes, as with all Benefit blush it comes with a little brush inside the box. The brush is great for traveling but for every day I use my trusted Body Shop blush brush to apply Coralista, as the brush provided makes precise application a little bit difficult.
Coralista on the cheeks and eye lid
Coralista is a gorgeous coral blush with a slight gold shimmer. I have a pale complexion and it is great for warming up my cool skin. I find Coralista to be super flattering and very pretty, its perfect for both warming up the skin in winter and adding a subtle pink flush in summer. I also really like wearing Coralista as an eye shadow, as again it is very pretty and easy to wear. Coralista also has a really lovely smell, which I personally think is a nice trait of the Benefit boxed blushes.
Coralista swatches
I love Coralista. It isn't the most pigmented blush but to me this is a positive as it is very buildable and makes it versatile for different skin tones. It is super soft and girly and if I had to sum up Coralista in a sentence I'd call it 'prettiness in a box!' I have become quite a fan of Benefit and Coralista is no exception. It is a staple of my makeup routine and one of my favorite products.
