Hello everyone! Hope you are all doing good. Today I sat down to write another review for you. I will be reviewing Benefit Cosmetics Galifornia Blush which I have been using for quite sometime and have alot to say about it. So let's get started!
Benefit Cosmetics Galifornia Blush launched in 2017 and I have been eyeing it since then because of its beautiful, fun and colorful packaging so one day I finally decided to purchase it.
Ever since I got my hands on this, I cannot stop obsessing over its packaging! It looks absolutely gorgeous in my makeup vanity. It comes in a square cardboard box with a mirror and a good quality brush inside just like the standard benefit blushes. The brush that comes along is very useful when you're on the go. In addition to that, one thing that immediately caught my attention when I opened it for the first time was the smell. It smells very fruity, just like grapefruit to be exact which I really enjoy but if you do not like scented makeup products then you might not like this.
In terms of color, it is a warm peachy pink blush with a hint of very fine gold shimmer in it. The shimmer is not too over the top and actually looks very pretty on the cheeks. The pigmentation is just right for a blush, niether too pigmented nor too sheer. However this color probably won't show up on medium to dark skintones. I have light neutral skintone and I have to really build it up to be able to actually see some color on my cheeks.
It is a nice everyday blush which isn't very noticable on the skin. It just adds a slight hint of color to the cheeks. If you are wearing a very bold eye look or a bold lip and you are not sure what blush color to go for, this is probably going to look good with every look especially with bold eyes and lips because it will just add a hint of color without competing with the eyes or the lips and looking too over the top. I always pick this one up whenever I am unsure about my blush color and want to play safe.
However, I was slightly disappointed with the pigmentation of this blush as I have to really build it up in layers to show up on my skin and for 30$ there are much better blushes in the market in terms of pigmentation. So, if you are a fan of dark, pigmented blushes and enjoy that flushed cheeks look then this is not the one for you. As I said earlier, it won't show up on medium to dark skintones. Even if you build it up it still won't show up on your skin so better spend your money on some other blush which has better pigmentation and a color that would suit your skintone.
It retails for 30$ in the US, I got this for around 5000 pkr from a facebook page named "About the fit".
To sum up, I do enjoy using this blush on everyday basis when I am going for a no makeup look, I have actually found ways to make this blush work for me to be very honest because It was expensive! I cannot bring myself to pass it onto someone else or just throw it away but would I repurchase it for 5000 rs? Absolutely not. I will keep using it until it finishes up but will definitely not repurchase as it doesn't show up on my skin very well and I have to really build it up to get some color on my cheeks. People with very light porcelain skin tones would get a better use out of this blush.
Overall rating 3/5
Until next time!
