Benefit Galifornia

Get those sunnies on! In today’s post I’m featuring Benefit’s Galifornia and why you need it this summer!

Benefit Cosmetics are known for their cult blush collection, I’ve got every blush from Coralina to Dandelion. With everyone raving about this new golden blush, it was time I got my hands on it!

We’ve been so lucky with the weather recently so of course a stunning blush is an essential for your makeup routine.

First up I love the packaging, with the 70’s boho theme – it shouts summer with the multi-colour hair and bug eye sunglasses. As for the shade, it’s a subtle pink-y coral with a sprinkle of gold. I wouldn’t say it has a level of shimmer though, after the first use it only has a very slight sparkle. Overall its a matte shade that has hints of Nars Super Orgasm but also Benefit’s Coralista too.

In terms of pigmentation, it’s just the right amount for a sweep over your cheeks. You may need a couple of swirls on your brush to get your desired pinky cheeks but that’s what I like about it. You can build it up! With a golden brusher this is just enough to add a pop of colour.

Overall I think this is a super flattering and subtle shimmer that adds a slight glow. For those who are scared of a bright blush – this could be the one for you.

It also smells really nice too which is a bonus. I can’t put my finger on the exact smell though I’m thinking vanilla?!

As you can see, it’s very subtle but adds just a nice peachy glow to the cheeks. If your into rose golds and corals this year – this is the blusher to add. I am glad I picked GALifornia up!

Have you got this? Would you try it?
