I have 4 different shades of these, and I love all of them, though, Please go and get the shades matched to your skin tone, as you may get caught out otherwise!
they are smooth and creamy, easy to apply, but in the summer they do wear easily.
They are beautiful colours and do what they say on the tin, they're not drying (very much the opposite) and in not-very hot conditions- are long lasting.
I reccommend these lipsticks : ) xxx

i love Benefit's lipsticks. Bought 3 different shades because i just love how rich and creamy it is...better than Guerlain's. The color pigments are wonderful and unlike Estee Lauder's lipsticks, it doesn't give me that "bite" at all. I would still like to try YSL's lipstick line and compare.

I really like all the products sold at Benefit, unfortunately it doesn't like me.

I have the lipstick nice knickers and although the colour range is fab, the colour doesn't stay on for very long.

On first application, it goes on like a dream... sadly not long after (even if you are literally just sitting still 20 minutes later) the lipstick tends to matt down quite quickly and sometimes it ends up on your teeth! This is in fact true in two cases of seperate lipsticks, one in 'nice knickers' and the other in 'cherry red'.

I've done the 'stick your thumb in your mouth and pull away the excess' trick but it's only with the brand Benefit which seems to be all toothy.

I won't be purchasing it again at £13 a stick.

I hope others have better experiences with Benefit.

My fav lipstick you ask? Mac - Viva Glam Cyndi... It goes with EVERYTHING.

I recently bought the full finish lipstick in Wild Card by Benefit. This has to be the best lipstick I've ever used. It's very moisturizing, feels great on and it lasts. The case is a stylish sturdy metal and the lipstick is designed to go in very easily. I will be buying this great lipstick in other colours.

I have this in Sassy. I think I bought it because the packaging was so pretty… but the product itself is lacking. Needless to say I will not be repurchasing another one of their lipsticks.

I have Candystore (ginger with slight gold shimmer) and My Treat (pink with a coral undertone). My Treat doesn't seem to be available anymore.

I bought Candystore and wore it on my wedding day! It really moisturises the lips but doesn't stay on that long (that's why i minused a lippy point) but the colours are gorgeous and they feel amazing on the lips. The shimmer makes them look fuller.

These lipsticks just glide on and feel so smooth. They make your lips look luscious and enhanced. There is no scent or taste.

The colour choice is good and they are really flattering.

I just purchased three Benefit Lipsticks and they are incredible. The tubes are huge and pretty. The lipstick is so creamy and moisturizing with no waxy horrible taste. The colors are fabulous and the staying power is great. These are my new favorite lipsticks!

Update: I am still really happy with my lipsticks, but I do wish the colors weren't so saturated and dark. I choose some of the lighter shades, but still wish they were a little lighter. I use very very little and tone them down with some gloss. They really will last forever!

ABSOLUTELY I would buy Benefit lipstick again! In fact, I am writing this review right now just to keep me off the Sephora site so I don't make a drunken order for a couple more shades! I have "Lady's Choice" and "Candy Store" but honestly, I haven't tried a shade on that I haven't liked. They are smooth and moisturizing (feels as comfy as chapstick!) and all the colors are so well thought-out and classy.
Usually, I never wear lipstick because whenever I try drug store shades on they look or feel weird and I end up never wearing them. Lip glosses always look fabulous but last about 30 seconds and I'm too forgetful to care about reapplying. But Benefit has turned me into a lipstick person overnight. I love this stuff! I decided I wanted to try some raved about lippies, but to tell you the truth, I ended up returned Kat von D's Lolita that I was on the fence about just to swap it out for a Benefit shade that I knew I'd love no matter what. The only down side to these are that they don't last an incredibly long time, but I'd trade long-wearing lip color for nice, lush color that didn't make my lips feel tight and dry at the end of the day. Yay, Benefit lipsticks. Love.

These are my current HG lipstick, at this stage I only have two - Skinny Dip and Dessert First, and gosh.. from a girl that used to ONLY just like gloss (because I don't want my full lips to be that bright) and especially for work.. these go on sooooo creamy, and sheer with the right amount of colour, my lips always feel so smooth, and soft. (kissable too lol) I am definitely going to collect more, I can't get enough. The packaging is exquisite, you can tell this is high end, I can't WAIT to get more!

I own 'Frenched' lipstick and is their reddest lipstick. However on my lips, its not really true red and appears to have an orange undertone to it. It IS nice though and is a sheer, buildable colour. It's soft and moisturising but it doesn't have great staying power. I think I got distracted by all the pretty packaging the day I bought this but It has come in handy because as of yet, I don't own a red lipstick only pink toned ones. It does tick a few things I look for in a lipstick and that is the fact it is unscenter and moisturising.
This is benefit's only Lipstick collection but I really think they need to expand on this one. Proably won't buy again and will look elsewhere for my HG red lippy!

I love the color, the texture, and the design of the packaging. However, it doesn't last very long at all or it would get a perfect score. It looks like you applied gloss over your lipstick, but without the stickiness.

UPDATE: Bobbi Brown's rose petal is almost identical, except it has a little less shine. It lasts longer though, and is moisturizing so I'm changing this from a 4 to a 2 just because it doesn't last long at all.

i fell for benefit's cute cute cute packaging. AGAIN. i swear, the only thing of theirs i like is that benetint cheek stuff. this lipstick smells BAD and has a really waxy texture. i needed to apply vaseline before i applied it because it drug so badly on my lips. it doesn't last all that long which was fine with me, since is smells.

It doesn't stay on long enough even with lipliner. It's nice and moisturizing, though. I won't but again for long wear.

I have a few older colors: Peel Out, Hot Cross Buns, Rawhide, Rockin' Betty and Liar Lips. As the colors have been discontinued it doesn't make sense to describe them, but most of them are creamy and wearable. None of them are HG status for me, but as basic lipsticks it's pretty hard to go wrong with these.

I fell in love with the colors....all of them. The first application was wonderful.....smooth and silky. Then, in about 30 minutes, it felt dry and I had to keep reapplying throughout the morning! So disappointing.
I should have listened to the Sephora sales person......they told me the whole BeneFit line was, and I quote, "crap." This was surprising since Sephora bought BeneFit (according to the employee). Oh well. I love lipstick though!

I never thought I'll find a lipstick I’ll like: w/o scent, moisturizing, perfect natural color & natural finish. Well, Jing-A-Ling is the perfect one for me. I hope they never discontinue it.

I first got "curtsy" as a sample and I loved the color and consistency. It's a matte, dusty rose with some pearly shimmer. I loved it so much, I bought "I think I love you" which is supposed to be a natural color (I have pale skin with yellow undertones). It looked good when I put it on in the store but at home it made me look sick. However, I would like to try more colors because I still like the lipstick.

Zero Guilt.... my favorite red lipstick, looks great on either really fair or dark skin tones. It lasts, it isn't that sparkly sheer, but a matte and it's not fire engine red. I am in love with this color, I wear it all the time. Definately worth $17.12

Good lipsticks. I have them in 'move over' 'um ta ta' and 'I think I love you.' Great lovely natural yet enhanced colour, lovely moisturising and comfortable texture and good staying power. Highly recommended. This is a Benefit Product I hugely support - many of the other products in their line I find total rubbish but the lipsticks are great great great! Worth paying the over inflated UK price for, especially when Boots offer 500 points on the purchase of any 2 products!!!!

I bought my first Benefit lipstick in "But Officer" and I am in love with it!! It is a great shade of pink... pretty, natural, and sheer. Before applying l/s I usually have to put a moisturizer like SoftLips on in order to make the l/s glide smoothly...not with Benefit! This l/s is so moisturizing that it goes on nice and smooth! Staying power is not bad either! I plan on purchasing many more lipsticks from Benefit!!
