benefit FULL-FINISH LIPSTICK no competition Betty Review & Swatches
This is one of the most popular
and lavish brands to have in India. I bought this directly from their official
site. Made them reach my cousin’s destination to avoid the crazy shipping. And
then waited-waited-waited for her to land in Bangalore.
Price: $18.
I saw grabmore.com selling silky
finish lipstick in the range Rs.1200 – Rs.1300. Very limited selection though.
The best bet is to watch the benefit official
space for offers and sale and send them to anyone you know in US. That way
there is no mess of International shipping and also any damage to the products
can be avoided. But, you got to keep waiting until your friends/relatives come
back home. :-P. It is worth waiting you know. :-)
Package: There is so much to say
about the package. The lipstick tube is
shiny black with some patterned curves at the bottom of the tube. The outer
carton is a combination of black and white with different style in each side.
The front side has a rectangular opening through which peeps a pretty lady.
Betty says – “men may come &
go, but lipstick is forever.” ….. How funny is that !!! :-P.
(Yeah, I have the outer carton. I
usually don’t throw them, be it any product, any brand.)
Shade: no competition, the official site of benefitcosmetics
defines the shade as heathered plum. Yes it is a plum
shade. (No further explanation for the color.) I like the shade.
Texture: It is creamy and looks
glossy in finish. Non-drying on my lips. Doesnot clump nor doe sit settle here
and there. But it does transfer easily on to anything when it is fresh on the
lips. (But every other lipsticks does that. :-P)
Staying power: It is good on me
for about 6 hours. And then it leaves behind the plum tint on my lips. I like
lip products that leave behind their traces showing ‘I was here, I am leaving now’

for this lipstick.
