Benefit Cosmetics “Justine Case”
It seems that California Kissin was a one hit wonder, soon to be miniturized and is now part of the “Justine Case” Wrapped and Ready product category of Benefit Cosmetics. I’ve had California Kissin (in the “old” full size version) for a while and feel mixed about it…
California Kissin is Benefit’s “fake it” gloss for whiter looking teeth. It’s a clear gloss with lots of blue shimmer. Its minty scent and taste will keep you feeling like you just brushed your teeth (or you just have some Colgate Total action going on).
The mint isn’t a bad thing, just not expected in a gloss. When I think of mint on my lips it’s usually with lip balm. Even though there is so much blue shimmer in the tube that it looks like you will be applying blue gloss to your lips–no worries, it is a clear gloss. The blue shimmer spreads out evenly and will in no way make you feel like you are reliving the 80’s. I actually liked the way the color looked on my lips…but did my teeth look whiter? Maybe a shade, but nothing substantial.
Justine Case contains: California Kissin, Eyecon, Benetint and Some kind of gorgeous.
Have you tried California Kissin? What did you think of it?

This little set is just darling. I thought of 3 people I could give it too just as soon as I saw it!

I love this case and everything from Benefit. Everything is fun and really does what it says. The girls at the makeup counter at Macy’s are so sweet, and I never knew the makeup counters in Macys have 100% of the products, and Sephora has only a fraction of the line so I will now go to Macys and get my stuff plus they let you try everything on and even put it on for you and explain the products. Very impressed!

These kits are really handy. Even if you have other HG products that you use all the time, you wouldn’t want to be lugging them everytime you go out or to a sleepover right?
And these products are pretty great. I’ve tried all of them and even though they’re not my HG products, I certainly put them high on my list. And they cover all the bases! Eyes, lips cheeks and skin.

If anyone lives in the Pittsburgh area, the girls there are so great! the counters at Ross Park, Downtown and Robinson Town Center are awesome! Ross Parks number is 412-366-1400 ext. 358 if you ever want to make an appointment to try out products for free or order by phone! they will ship to you in 2-3 days! The new Thrrrob is so great! So is ‘That Gal’ Primer and the new “pink to please a woman, gold to get the guy” palette. It has Candy Store lipstick in it which is one of Carmindys favorites! Smooches Bene-babes!
