Benefit Silky Finish Lipstick

I don't usually wear lip products. Not even just a clear gloss. But I had a vision of the perfect outfit, and bright red lipstick just seemed perfect. So I ventured to Boots, thinking I'd be spending about a fiver on a cheap brand such as Rimmel or Maybelline. However, the brands just didn't have the colours I was looking for. They were either too dark and 'plummy,' or too orangey. I have loads of Benefit products, so I walked over to the stall knowing that I would find a good quality product. I was put off by the price, £13 is quite steep for something I thought I wouldn't use very often. I chose the brightest red I had seen all day, and called 'flirt ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to lipsticks, I am something of an addict and can't bear the sight of my naked, nature given lips! My natural lips are very pale and look odd against my olive skin, so I'm rarely seen without a flush of colour on my lips. My favourite kind of everyday lipsticks are those that seem to achieve for me what nature should have seen fit to give me - a pinky, berry coloured sheen that looks almost natural.

When gettin it i explained to the sales girl that my lips sometimes get quite dry, but she assured me that it would be fine and that the lipstick is so mouisturising that noone would notice my dry lips. Unfourtunately that didnt happen and it just sticks to the dry ...  Read the complete review

I had played around with lip-gloss for a while and finally decided that I should make the move to lipstick. I am a big benefit fan so decided to go to the counter and get some advice. As I hadn't worn lipstick before, the friendly and not overly made up assistant suggested a pale pinky tone. She chose an excellent colour for me and I loved wearing it. I wasn't used to wearing lipstick but found it very easy to get used to. There wasn't a strange taste and it didn't feel thick and greasy. The colour was great and suited me, the only problem was that it wasn't as long wearing as I would have liked. I found it melting onto my mug during my first morning tea ...  Read the complete review
