Product – Benefit Powda Wowza, a medium sized square box is broken up into 4 equal smaller squares with 3 powders and a mini brush in the respective compartments. While the full size boxes all for these 3 are all 8 gms, my box has 3 gms of powder of each. I think it’s a perfect way to try out what works best for you.
Shade – Benefit Coralista is a coral blush matte blush with no shimmer at all. The colour is almost peachy in the box but comes out looking a little chalky on my medium skin tone. There are a lot of fans of this colour, but personally this does not work for me. Coralista has also a number of dupes available now, so if the colour works for you, you can easily get a brand that is more affordable and more easily available.
Benefit Bella Bamba is supposed to be a 3d brightening pink blush. This one is best suited to the Indian skin tones, it is a beautiful rosy pink shade. I’m not sure what they mean by 3d but I’m guessing it is the presence of shimmer that makes it stand out. I love how this looks on my skin, giving it a lovely flush of colour.
Benefit Hoola is barely visible on my skin and in the swatches, that is what makes it an excellent contouring powder. Hoola is a bronzer with no shimmer in it and blends beautifully into the skin. It has a light milk chocolate, coffee kind of colour in the box.
Staying Power – Lasting power is 3 to 4 hours without primer and more than 6 hours with. They do tend to start fading out within a few hours of application if you have oily skin.

This is another case where a “universally flattering” shade like Benefit Coralista has not really worked well for me. Benefit Bella Bamba is my favourite from this set and I’m sure I’ll be buying a full size of that soon. Benefit Hoola is great for contouring, but I don’t really need much of that on a daily basis, so it’s only for special occasions.
