Benefit Dancing Queen Ultra Shines Lipgloss Is My Jam

July 2nd, 2010 by Karen 19 Comments

benefit dancing queen lipgloss swatches reviews photos

Everyone has at least *one* song that always gets ’em on the dance floor (and don’t even pretend; I know what you do when you hear “Oh, my, god. Becky, look at her butt,” LOL!).

As a lifelong lover of public displays of ridiculousness, I actually have quite a few booty-shaking dance jams. One of my all-time faves: Dancing Queen! 🙂


See that girl, watch that scene, diggin’ the dancing queen…

Yeah, “young and sweet and only 17” — that was a loooong time ago for yours truly, but the song still totally moves me. And when Benefit announced the new Ultra Shines lipglosses a few months ago and included a color called Dancing Queen ($18), I thought, “It’s destiny!”

I’ve really been into bright lips lately, like Dancing Queen, a flirty, shimmery hot pink with subtle blue iridescence.

Like the other Ultra Shines I’ve tried, Dancing Queen goes on silky smooth, with loads of pigment and shine, and I love how great it looks on different skin tones. The color looks lovely on Erin, a pale blonde beauty with green eyes, and Marisol, a brown-eyed babe who’s a few shades darker than me.

Benefit Dancing Queen Ultra Shines Lipgloss!

Mandatory goofy face!

Suffice it to say, I’m crushing on this color, hard.

NOTE: It’s unflavored, but it does have a faintly fruity vanilla scent…just in case you’re not a fan of scented lip products.

If you’re in the mood for something bright and fun, consider taking this Dancing Queen out for a spin. Available at Sephora, as well as Benefit counters, stores and online at benefitcosmetics.com. Makeup and Beauty Blog Rating: A+

You might like Benefit Dancing Queen Ultra Shine Lipgloss if…

  • You like the look of bright pink gloss
  • You want a moisturizing lippie
  • You don’t mind lip products with a subtle fruity/vanilla scent

What’s your dance jam?

Speaking of dance jams, I put the question out there on twitter. Is there a song that always gets your booty on the dance floor?

Come on. Fess up! 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Haha you look really cute and funny in that picture! As for the dance jams question, I usually don’t like dancing (I know I’m a weirdo) but I can’t resist Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” and “Rock & Roll All Night” from Kiss 😀 Haha even the thoughts of them are provocative.

    You are sooooo my sister. LOL. That is her jam too! I love this gloss. I’m overdue for some Benefit love, too, so I’ll have to check it out.

    God, anything from Michael Jackson is my JAM. Anything–but PYT is my all-time fave. Poison by Bel Biv Devoe is another one. Never trust a big butt and a smile!

      I think it’s mandatory to have a sister who’s obsessed with this song, LOL! I know about 5 of ’em.

      Benefit’s been having a GREAT run as of late. When you go peep the Ultra Shines and the new palettes!

      Funny that you mention old school MJ. I have been listening to Off the Wall non-stop all week long.

      And those boys of BBD… what wise sages!

      What are you up to this weekend? Doing anything fun?

    I love magenta colours for the summer and Benefit glosses feel so nice on the lips.

    Karen,
    I absolutely love the words you use. You are such a funky teenager at heart. Can I come live with you? You seem like you’d be an awesome mom.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
