Benefit Dallas Ultra Plush Gloss Review

One of my favourite blushers of all time is Benefit Dallas, as it is a cross between a blush and a bronzer and the colour suits my skin tone far better than Hoola does (although I do still own Hoola and use it from time to time) so when I found out about the Plush Lip Glosses that Benefit were launching to complement the boxed blushers I got rather excited.

I own Dallas, Dandelion, Hoola, Georgia (which I think has been discontinued) and Coralista in the powders and when it came to trying out one of the glosses I couldn't decide between Dallas, Dandelion or Coralista. I eventually opted for Dallas as I love the blusher so much. 

It's quite funny really, when I first bought Dallas, it took me months before I liked it, and considered it a wasted purchase. Little did I know how much I would grow to love it. This and Dandelion are the only ones I've used so much that I've repurchased.

I bought this back in June and I will be honest I haven't worn it as much as I would have liked. I'm more into lipsticks at the moment and I don't really like it when my hair gets blown into my lipgloss. Rather irritating!

I genuinely think like with the Dallas blusher, this is going to take a little getting used to. When I first wore it a couple of times I felt as though it would go a little streaky which I'm not sure was a case of applying it to dry lips, or just not being used to such an opaque lipgloss as this is my first lipgloss that isn't particularly sheer. Either way, I can't say I've really noticed it anymore. 

I don't regret buying this colour per sé, but I definitely think if I'd opted for Coralista or Dandelion it would I would have worn it more over the summer months. Especially as I was heavily into bright coral lips over the summer. However, with the winter months approaching, it may be now that this colour comes into it's own.

If I had written this review straight after purchasing it back in June or July time, I think this would have been a fairly negative review, however, after giving myself some time to wear it I've definitely grown to like it and I will definitely be wearing this more and more.

Consistency wise, this isn't too sticky and feels more like I'm wearing a thick lipbalm than anything which is good because I'm not the biggest fan of sticky lipgloss. I don't really know about wear time as I've never had time to check myself in a mirror whilst wearing it. It smells lovely, although it may be a scent that some people may not like.

Benefit is bringing out a miniature box set of the glosses in time for Christmas for £19.50 which I may well invest in, as one normal size gloss costs £13.50 so £6 more for 6 miniatures is a pretty good deal in my eyes. Despite the fact that means I will get another Dallas gloss.

Do you have any of these glosses? What were your thoughts?
