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.

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. 😛

      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!
