Day 1 : Benefit Cosmetics Silky Finish lipstick – Frenched

June 1, 2009 Paris B 23 Comments

Day 1 of the 30 lipsticks in 30 days Project opens with Benefit Cosmetics Silky Finish lipstick in Frenched.

Benefit Silky Finish Lipstick – Frenched

Frenched is a scary bright RED lipstick in the tube. Just look at it. Its bright without discernable warm or cool tones although I’d say it tends towards the warm.

Benefit Frenched Lipstick

However, I knew right off that Frenched was a red made just for me. Its no secret I love red lippies and Frenched fills that niche, being at one and the same time bright and creamy.

Being a silky finish lipstick, the texture is smooth and silky but it goes on very creamy and pigmented. I mean pigmented… seriously.

It certainly is a colour for the night and promises to glam up any night outfit. Bit too bright for the day, even for me! 😉

Benefit Silky Finish lipsticks are RM73 at Benefit counters and US$18 online. You can read a more in depth review of the Benefit Silky Finish lipsticks and a review of Nice Knickers if you follow the link.

Stay tuned for Day 2 to see NYX Black Label lipstick in Opium.

Stay beautiful,

Paris B

    oooh la la, Paris. 😉 might i suggest plumping it up a notch with some gloss, just in the middle of the lips? would be so juicy to bite then. 😛

    *runs*

      Hiya yahui

      In real life, it needs no plumping! Seriously… 🙂 Thanks for the suggestion though. A couple of other lippies might need that treatment.

      Hi Reese

      Its a big jump from nude/neutral to red so try a sheer red before going in the deep end. A couple of sheerer reds are coming up soon. Thanks! Any girl can wear red lipstick!

    that lipstick is tooooo red for me. have you really worn it out on a date or an outing? 😛

    looks rather new to me. i bought the chanel LE red gloss jupiter and regret it. gave it away to MIL as it’s just too red for me and i can’t wear red.

      With a red like that, the date’s sure to be one wild night! *winks*

      I prefer taking product pictures before actually using them so they won’t look all “used” when I post them up :-/ Perhaps that’s why PB’s lipstick looks new.

    I love the Benefit lipsticks. I don’t have a red one so I’ll have to check this shade out. I have a few colors from spring/summer 2009 that I really like, and I did a post featuring swatches and pics of the colors a while back. Thrillin’ Brazilian is my favorite!

    hi there!
    I googled reviews/swatches for Frenched and came to your blog. It will be my first Benefit lipstick, and was the colour that got me the most from their site. I’m a sucker for reds and corals! is there any other you really liked? I liked the swatch of misbehavin and breathless (more plum/mauve colours).
    Any experience with them?
    thanks 🙂

      Hi Christina – I love Frenched! I haven’t tried Misbehavin’ or Breathless but I might have Swoonderful somewhere. Its not bad too but not a bright shade. Good for everyday I’d say. Thanks for coming by!

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜
Tell me your fave Antipdoes skincare product!

While I pack up gift boxes of treats for doggies 🐶 (I’ve tied so many ribbons I’ve finally started to get it right!) #loccitanemalaysia makes it easy to shop for humans 😅 at experienceloccitane.com with their L’Occitane en Demande service. Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
