PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: BENEFIT SILKY FINISH LIPSTICK IN MY TREAT

Here's an initial review on BENEFIT SILKY FINISH LIPSTICK IN MY TREAT
PRICE: 730PHP
PLACE BOUGHT: EBAY
OTHER LOCATIONS: ONLINE; MULTIPLY RESELLERS; BENEFIT SALON (?) I'M NOT SURE WITH THE NAME OF THE SALON IN EASTWOOD THAT SELLS MAC AND BENEFIT COSMETICS SO CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.
THE VERDICT:

This is my first Benefit Lipstick. I decided to make it part of my lipstick project because I've read so many great reviews on the silky and full finish line. I was supposed to get Lady's choice or On the Sly from the Full Finish Collection. On the Sly is a bit too dark on the tube and I can't find any picture reference online so I'm not sure how it looks like. Lady's Choice is much like Chanel's RA in Comedia. Hubby got me Comedia so I don't want something that almost looks like it.

I took a risk on My Treat since it's the only color I liked from the Silky Finish Line. However, I was hoping that it wouldn't look too loud since it looked too pink on the tube. I love pink lippies but I wouldn't want this to turn into a fuschia pink color.

My Treat is described as a cream/vibrant rose color by Sephora.com. It is in a sheer formulation and it does give off a good (but not OTT) shine on your lips.

Skin Swatch

This lipstick is unscented. so it's good for those who don't like scented lippies. It doesn't have any taste too.

Check out the lurve- ly color. It gave me this sheer yet pigmented candy pink color on my lips! Once the lipstick settles on your lips, it dries off to a sheen, leaving your lips with a juicy looking shine that's not OTT while still giving your lips a nice pigmented pink hue.

It just gives my lips a sheer pink color that makes someone look fresh and younger! However, since this is too wet, it just hangs on for a short period of time. But, it's not completely wiped off, which goes to show that this lipstick tries to hang on to dear life. But if you use your mouth often, this might run off easily. But if you don't use your mouth at all, it does last long.

I looove the formulation. It's glossy without being too slick!

However, I'm not willing to repurchase since this is kinda' expensive. But if I have extra cash, why not??? I wanna try Sugar Cookie next, or one from the Full Finish line. :)
