Okay, I know it's been around for about a year now, but I don't know, I just noticed it now! The story behind this particular lemming:
This afternoon I ventured all the way to Makati (I live hours away) to get my little girl's medicine. I commuted and took the bus and a cab...I actually wanted to take the car but that's what I get for being too lazy to renew my license. Anyway, sorry I digress, after I got the medicine from Medical Plaza Makati, I again looked for a cab. I waited and tried to hail cab after cab but no success. I didn't want to wait anymore so I thought, hey I could just walk to Glorietta (this is the nearest mall). Ooh, even though I was entirely unfamiliar with the area I thought I had the greatest idea.
So I walked and walked and walked, and walked! Damn, it was far. I was sweating like a pig. I kept hoping I'd see Glorietta soon, and after walking more and more, I finally did! YAY!!! Upon entering the mall. I headed straight to the nearest bathroom and cleaned up. Looked at myself in the mirror...surprisingly decent! And I had the loveliest flush on my cheeks from the exercise. I loved the color of this natural flush.
I tried to remember if I had any blush with a similar color, and even though I've never tried it, Benefit Coralista came to mind.
I still love my mineral blushes but I'm also looking into collecting pressed blushes. Always been a lipstick girl, but lately, I find that I have a thing for blushes. I'm not sure if I should go ahead and get Coraista now though because I have loads and loads of mineral blushes (many samples, some full sized) that I haven't really used, some I haven't even touched!
So my question to you is, what do you think of the Benefit Coralista blush? Have you tried it? Should I buy it? :)

they say its a dupe of NARS orgasm. ^_^ id get the NARS na lang since the price is bound to be the same if you buy the Coralista in the Philippines.
oohmu shud stick with mineral blush !hehhe
i mean u already got tons,i was lemming for those benefit blushes once but i managed to go with MMU instead,so i dont feel guilty while putting on my makeup
:P
I was thinking of getting one too..:D
Been on my lemming list since it first cam out too. I have a full cabinet of mineral and non mineral blushes but I would still get this because I'm a blush ho! LOL!
I am a blush fanatic and LOVE Coralista!! It is gorgeous. I bought it in May I think and wear it at least once a week. I have NARs Orgasm too and they are different. Orgasm has more shimmer and Coralista has more depth to the colour. I love coralista more. Trust me. You would love it. I think it would look gorgeous on you.

I love reading about the Philippines. I haven't been there since I last visited in 1980 when I was 8.
i haven't tried benefit blushes yet..
i would actually love to try their pop palette..
3 blushes in one cute box..
i don't think we have benefit here in the phils...do we?
I think the color is pretty ^_^. You should get one and make a swatch and post about it hehe. :)
liz, well, i have heard about it being compared to NARS Orgasm a lot...i'll have to check out Orgasm first. that's another lemming! :)
verina, very practical advice. just what i was thinking. you're right! :)
adin, post about it on your blog when you get one? :)
nikki, i think i'm kinda turning into a blush ho too hehe.
michelle, ok, you've totally convinced me to get it. haha :) wow, that's a long time since you've been here! :)
thiamere, benefit has such cute packaging no? :) we don't have them in the stores here, but benefitcosmetics.com and tamera online do ship to the phils hehe :)
twinsouls, glad you think it's pretty too. i'll definitely post if i do go ahead and get coralista :)
The coralista blush looks like a pretty peach shade, which I believe will suit you sis. Practically, I wouldn't get it if I were you as you mentioned that you've LOTS of blushes already. But it's still up to you sis if you're gonna get it or not. *wink*
By the way sis, I got a tag for you. Check it at:
