Benefit Sugarbomb
How did this one escape my attention, I scream at myself when I learned that Benefit has recently come out with another square pot of wonderful blushing goodness! Call it Christmas and New Year intoxication that has led me to overlook this!
I have been a firm user of Benefit Coralista for the past 8 months, no joke, the blusher is heavily pigmented with a hint of shimmer, probably the most pigmented blusher of them all that you only need a small amount to add a nice pop to your cheeks . It is wonderful stuff and I am absolutely in love with it (click here to read my full review on it). However I am nearing the end of it and it’s gotten to the stage whereby I am having to dig deep in the four corners of the box with my brush to pick up some colour as there is a huge indent in the middle. Sign of a well used blusher, I say.
Love it? Or leave it?
Got my eyes firmly set on Benefit SugarBomb. Encased in its traditionally high walled cardboard box, SugarBomb contains four shimmery powders - two shades of peach, a plum and a rose and they all blend to create a subtle flush on the cheeks. Having seen the colour on the website, it does indeed look very pretty but my only concern is that I would need to apply several layers in order to see the blusher. If you have light skin or prefer a very natural, subtle look, perhaps this might be just the thing for you! I know that not everyone is a fan of Coralista as it is indeed quite pigmented but I personally ♥ it, I love the coral-pinky hue on my cheeks and I even brush a very light layer on my nose for that slight sun-burnt look that I like to sport even in the middle of winter as it just makes my face look that much more alive. Will have to see if this new Sugarbomb deserves a spot on my list of Absolute Must-Haves.
If you have used this, let City Geisha know…do you rate it or not???

I love Benefits blushes! This is my 3rd blush!! I am fair skinned so this looks really good on me. It looks natural and I only need a quick swipe of this on my cheeks and I also like to sweep a bit across my nose and temples.
I find that this is quite similar to Dandelion, which I really like because it’s not too heavy yet gives you just enough color to add some liveliness and a nice glowy pinky glow to cheeks. Definitely would buy again!
I have olive skin and I found that the color looked fake and too obviously shimmery against my skin. I found that if I use it on its own, it just gives me a very light wash of pink so end up having to mix it with my other blusher to make it POP a bit more on the cheeks. Plus I find it a bit overpriced. Cute packaging though.
I really like this blush actually! I have read reviews on line from various women who complain that either the blush is too light on their cheeks or that it looks too shimmery and fake. I myself have olive skin and LOVE it. When swept lightly on, it gives me a really nice, believable golden pink glow and I love you can have all four shades picked up in one swirl, it just gives you a really nice mixture of pigments. And if I want to go brigher, I can easily build up on the color without it looking garish or fake. i LOVE it. Also I find it quite useful having a dark shade as I can sneakily use the edge of the square brush to pick up some of this color and contour my cheekbones with it. Clever!
LOVE Sugarbomb!
