Benefit Cosmetic’s California Kissin’
In case you haven’t heard yet, Benefit Cosmetics has come out with a new lip gloss called California Kissin’ and get ready for this…it’s…blue! Yes, it’s a lip gloss that is tinted slightly blue. Benefit says “the subtle blue sheen makes teeth appear whiter and the minty taste freshens breath”.
I was a little skeptical about the blue tint and whether it would really brighten my smile, however given Benefit’s proven track record at producing results I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt (no pun intended) and give this product a try. Upon first using it I just put it on my lips alone, curious to see what effect the blue produced. I noticed nothing in the color, it looked clear however the minty freshness of this gloss is wonderful! It makes me feel like I just brushed my teeth every time I use it.
Thinking I must be missing something about the blue tint, since it looked clear I decided to read the directions. Funny enough those tiny little words can make a difference, especially with specialty makeup products. Well what do you know? This lip gloss should be used over or under lipstick in order to get the desired smile brightening effect. Feeling now slightly more prepared I decided to give it another shot and applied it over my favorite nude lipstick.
I really like this stuff! I couldn’t believe it, but it did actually brighten my smile and not only that it gave my face a slightly brighter look. The blue in this lip gloss comes in the form of small bits of aqua-blue glitter. This is not your gaudy glitter that we mixed with Carmex in the nineteen nineties to make eye shadow, but rather a subtle sparkle of just what you need.
I like this lip gloss best over, rather than under, nude lipstick and with it’s quite blue sheen it will look especially good with your best smoky eye.
