Review: Makeup: Benefit Cosmetics Silky Finish Lipstick Nice Knickers

November 24, 2008 Paris B 12 Comments

When I made my first ever Benefit Cosmetics order online, I picked up a Silky Finish lipstick in Nice Knickers. This was purely due to its name, I will safely say. How often can I tell someone that I am wearing Nice Knickers and not have them say “Too much information?!” LOL… 😉

Benefit Silky Finish lipstick nice knickers

I had no idea how the colour looked in real life as I had no time to get to a Benefit Cosmetics counter, but when I received it, I was very happy because just one sight of it told me it was just the right colour for me.

Packaging

Benefit Silky Finish lipsticks are packaged in a metal case with a glossy black finish. There is a stylised loop design on it in white, which is the only embellishment on this otherwise serious looking product.

Performance

You can see that the lipstick is well used. I have this more or less permanently in my lipstick holder in my makeup pouch which is transferred from one bag to another as I rotate my handbags. The colour is a cool toned berry red which I love and which looks pretty good on me, if I don’t say so myself. I wear it with cooler toned makeup as I feel it brings out the colour better. When worn with warm tones, it clashes a little.

The texture lives up to its name – Silky Finish. The lipstick applies very smoothly and a little sheerer than what you see in the tube. This is great because I like sheerer lipsticks as opposed to opaque colours. Not to say it isn’t pigmented because it is. It doesn’t dry out my lips – important! – but because its a little slippery, it does disappear rather fast after drinking and eating.

There is a slight shine (no shimmer) to the lipstick which is nice. I like using this lipstick for those days when I want a brighter lip colour but don’t want to wear red. I’d say that those wanting to wear red lipstick but are afraid to because it is too red, can try Nice Knickers. It is a wearable red because there is a berry tone that tones down the colour a tad.

Price

I bought the Silky Finish lipstick online at Benefit Cosmetics for US$18 each. I think it retails for RM68 in Malaysia and it can be easily found at all Benefit Cosmetics counters.

Pros:Nice finish with shine, Smooth, Nice colour

Cons: A little pricey

    i have one that’s LE, i think it’s called party crasher?
    and yeah, it’s really smooth and silky! rm68 for this is well paid. but i never spend tat much on a lippie itself 😛

    i think benefit’s lippie is quite nice 🙂
    but won’t buy it unless it’s a colour that’s super nice!
    like you said, rm68 is a little pricey

    @plue : I have found that some higher end lipsticks feel nicer than low end ones and at RM68 I don’t think it super high end because most of the brands are now in the RM90+ range for really nice lipsticks. That said its still pricey in these times.

    @Reese: Hehe… we must have the same coloring then for you to like colours like these too!

    yay on the lovely colour, but a big sigh on the local price…with the rising exchange rate, it’s working out to be a negligible difference!

    That’s such a nice color on you! No wonder it stays in your makeup pouch all the time.

    you know what’s the first thing i noticed when this page popped open? it’s how much you have used that stick!!! i remember a silky finish lipstick i bought at the same time (bouquet dive?) it is still very new. (shame on me!!!)

    it’s good that you utilize your makeup so well even though you have tried a plenty. i should dig into my silky finish as they are my HG. it’s a shame that our benefit is so expensive or else! there are more shades that i am tempted but i know i’d better not to..

    As often as you can tell them that you have an Orgasm…or a Super Orgasm, for that matter! 😉

    @Nikki : It seriously is! 🙂

    @beetrice: I fully agree on the prices locally. What we need is someone in the US to get it for us 😉

    @rinnah: Yep! Practically lives in there lol…

    @jojoba : Yep, I use up lipsticks quickly and am quite happy to dig into the products I enjoy. Even my Guerlain Perls d’argent is showing signs of a dip!

Famous last words 😅 Can’t believe how tiny he was last CNY. I could make him do whatever I wanted. Now, he’s got a mind of his own and it’s “no treats, no work!” 🤪
It’s an unusual Chinese New Year this year. It’s the first time since I left home that I did not make an early morning drive home for CNY for the reunion dinner (I always do so to beat traffic). It’s the first time I’m spending CNY in KL. It’s the first time my hair is looking such a mess for CNY 😂
Regardless, we do this not for ourselves but for others so we can have more joyful CNY celebrations to come. 
Wishing all of you a Happy, healthy Chinese New Year filled with Ox-picious tidings 🧧 Gong Xi Fa Cai and enjoy the festive break! ❤️
Low key CNY celebrations this year. No need to dre Low key CNY celebrations this year. No need to dress up or put on makeup since we’re staying home, but I’ll be damned if I don’t smell like a million bucks from head to toe! 🥰
I never appreciated hair mists but the Chanel No. 5 Hair Mist is a nice, light way to enjoy the perfume. Who says you can only spray on your hair? 😬
What’s your CNY shaping up like?
