I already love Benefit Cosmetics for so many amazing products. But the California Kissin ColorBalm has become one of my must have lip products. This amazing multi-tasking lippie gives you the color of a lipstick, comforter of a balm, and the long lasting power of a stain. Formulated with hydrating ingredients like: •Hyaluronic Acid •Mango Butter •Loofa Seed Oil This amazing Colorbalm gives you a splash of color while it moisturizes your lips for comfortable wear. Especially in the wintertime this beautiful product leaves my lips nourished and soft while giving me a glossy pout to boot. It’s long lasting formula gives the lips a beautiful stain that last even after the gloss starts to fade. I’m serious about that staying power, 24 hours after that stain was still ... MoreI already love Benefit Cosmetics for so many amazing products.

Even after showering I can still see the stain on my lips, amazing right! The packaging is simply adorable, a silver bullet with clear plastic casing adorned with a different girl on every shade. This shade is actually *Whine, a pretty glossy burgundy that is perfect for fall and winter time. Benefit California Kissin ColorBalm is a fabulous lip product. You get a really pretty flush of glossy color in a formula that is hydrating and nourishing to the lips. A long lasting stain that last even as the gloss starts to fade. It comes in a variety of 12 shades for every skin tone. I have this in 3 different colors and still want to have more. I’ve gotten all my friends hooked on them and recommend them to any and everyone that will listen❤️ #benefitcosmetics #lippie #lipbalm #lipstain #moisturizing #hydrating #musthave #lips #beauty #makeupobsessed

LOVE

I have this product in shade Pink Quartz and it's my favorite lip balm ever! It gives the lip a nice shine while also providing a cute, natural color. I like products that look good on their own and sit comfortably on the lips, and this product definitely checks off all the boxes. It's smooth and has a slight, almost fruit-like scent. I also love the packaging as a fan of anything 60s-70s. Slightly reminds me of 60s model Pattie Boyd!

Long lasting and comfortable to apply

This was my first purchase of this eyeliner. I have tried countless brands over the past few years since I started to experience watery eyes. I also wear contact lenses. None have lasted more than a couple of hours, some even less, and I constantly have to re-apply.I did not have high hopes to be honest but thought I would give it a try as I do like the Benefit mascaras. It surpassed my expectations and lasted all day. There was no irritation and it is not "scratchy" to apply so I will definitely be purchasing it again.

Moisturizing and great color!

I bought this in the shades Berry and Ruby. Berry is a perfect plummy-pink for a "your lips but better" look that is buildable to a darker mauve. Ruby is a classic red that is neither too orange nor too purple. Just a pure red. The formula is so silky, moisturizing, and the finish is shiny without being sticky. The pigmentation is good-not too saturated so if you wanted a sheer look it would work. But buildable if you want more of a lipstick type coverage. It's very long lasting as well. One last thing-it smells great!

More of a Lipstick

Love Benefit cosmetics, and I'm a lip balm girl- so I was really excited to try this Benefit lip balm (in fact I love Benefit so much, I bought these in 3 colors). In terms of hydration, they're great. But in terms of color and coverage, they're much more a lipstick than a lip balm. Even if I apply a very thin layer, the color is super-pigmented and looks like a lipstick- every single time. Would have given these a 3, but ultimately I gave them a 4 because they didn't go to waste- I use them as a lipstick on the rare occasion I need one.

Not what I expected

I bought coral somewhere that had it on clearance. Not sure why review is saying a different shade. I love a good tinted balm. This is not a tinted balm. Coral is exactly like it looks....definitely orangey which I expected. But was more like I took a crayon to my lips than a lip balm.If you do like more color this may be great. But don't be fooled by it saying lip balm.

The WORST Lip Balm - How can they even sell this?

Bought a warm red color that isn't even showing as available anymore at Ulta. Looked heavier than I expected, BUT the issue? OMG the TASTE of it! Toxic. Either it was fused with motor oil or it went bad. Should not be on the shelf. Hey, I didn't lick my lips or have it on my teeth. Just probably a micro touch, and I became nauseous and couldn't get it off of me fast enough. I can still taste it. Returned it within 15 minutes of trying it in my car. How can Benefit even sell this?? Not being a drama queen, but it tasted like poison. This is my second purchase of a Benefit product, and both were subpar. this was beyond that.

Very hydrating and very pigmented!

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite lip products to use. It's very hydrating but also also very pigmented, and a little goes a long way. Even though it transfers, the color lasts quite a while and also leaves a bit of a stain (I've purchased Fuchsia and Pomegranate and they both leave a gentle stain). However, I don't like the packaging much, as it's quite large compared to a normal lipstick tube. It also has a floral-sweet scent that I'm not a fan of, but you only smell it when applying, it doesn't linger or make it taste off.I'd recommend this product if you're looking for a very hydrating and pigmented lip product!

so pretty and moisturising

This feels like a holiday to me. the colour is lovely - bright in a way that just lifts the face without making a colour statement and the texture makes you look like you're properly moisturised even if you re a bit rough from lack of sleep and heating. I find the packaging quite young and mall-ish- like the sort of thing I would have used in my teens- but the lipstick itself is a real pleasure to use. I dont know about staying power- I think the pigment lasts moderately well. It's a very pleasant product.
