New In: Benefit Dandelion Ultra Plush Lip Gloss



Honestly, six years after buying my first Benefit product, Dr Feelgood primer, I'm still on the fence if I'm mainly paying for packaging or product. I'm a total sucker for anything beautifully packaged but there's always that bit that thinks is the actual product worth it? 

My second Benefit product was one of their box powders, Hoola. Which was followed by Georgia and  Dandelion. They have recently released 6 new Lip Glosses to match their Box O' Blushers, and Dandelion, a peach shade with gold flecks was the shade that caught my eye.

I love the effect gloss has on my lips but hate the sticky, heavy feeling it can give. Which is where I fell in love with Dandelion. The texture is very very sheer feeling absolutely weightless on the lips but looks really glossy. Not being drying at all with a typical Benefit fruity scent.


Of course being a lovely weightless gloss means one thing, a lack of staying power. I would say these last around 45 minutes on my lips at the most, which is of course not the best but that's to be expected from a light textured gloss. 

Like I mentioned there are 6 available shades for £13.50 I really do recommend going to test out the texture of these if you're passing a Benefit counter!


What was your first Benefit product?

    I really want to try these, like you I am a sucker for the packaging. Shame they don't last that long on the lips. x

    This looks very pretty! Neat idea for them to bring out matching lip glosses :)

    This does look gorgeous but pity they don't last long - on the bright side you can look at the lovely packaging each time you bring it out to top it up!

    I bought this very one on Saturday and I am in love with it! I agree with you about the staying power, but I love the sheer colour, it's not sticky and it feels super moisturising which is unusual for a gloss. x

    That's gorgeous! I love pale pink lips and am not put off that it does not last because I'm either sipping water, nibbling food or my biting my nails!

    my first benefit product was hoola and the blush thrrrob. they work amazing on my skin tone, which is fairly light. and next i'm going to get hoola lip gloss, for some reason not too many people seem to like this gloss. they all prefer dandelion or bella bamba.
