Benefit California Kissin' Lipgloss

Benefit California Kissin' Smile Brightening Lipgloss £14.00

I have been dying to try out this lipgloss as I am obsessed by anything that promises to make your smile brighter. As a huge fan of Benefit makeup, I was eager to test out California Kissin' as it's described to be a minty fresh gloss with a hint of blue, which you apply over or under lipstick and the colour makes your teeth look whiter. On its own, the lipgloss has no colour and made my lips looks quite pale but not in an attractive way, so it's not something you can carry in your bag as an instant colour - you need to have a lipstick with it. I then tried it with a bright pink lipstain underneath the gloss and voila! I could see the blue tint on my lips, and I'm not sure it made my teeth look any whiter but my completion was definitely brightened, eyes emphasized and skin softened. It hasn't been my miracle "whitener" but I do like the lipgloss for the colour it turns pinks into and the minty fresh scent :)
