Benefit Silky Finish Lipstick in "Rocket Pop" Review

My First Real Review!!

pics from : Benefit

For ages i always love lipstick.. I've tried from a mid/low end brand lipstick like oriflame to a high end brand lipstick like chanel or dior. I never settle to a shade in lipstick, always changing color from peach to pink and even bright orange (never red i don't know why :p). I also never finish a lipstick, I'm a lipstick adventurer :D

so eventough  i love them, i never have an HG lipstick. Until one day my mom came home from Singapore and gave me a Benefit Silky Finish Lipstick in "Rocket Pop" and i just instantly fall in love.

1. The lipstick texture is smooth and silky and It goes on very creamy in my lips i really love i. you wouldn't even have to use a lip balm before this and your lips will never feel dry *NEVER*. maybe because it's so creamy cons : it doesn't stay long in your lips maybe because it's so creamy..
   
2. The color is so very pigmented, for Rocket Pop the color is dark rose that can make your lips look full and naturally pigmented once you use it.. The color is also buildable from sheer to very pigmented.
3. I try Using it with a brush, i like it but not as much as i like the usual traditional way on using lipstick lol
4. I LOVE THE COLOR!!! rocket pop had a very beautiful shade..
5. The finishing result got a slight shine but no shimmer *love it*
   
6. a little bit in the pricey side. In singapore the price is around S$ 32 . expensive if you compare it to MAC lipstick which cost merely S$26

So even there's a couple of cons i still love this lipstick and happily called it my HG lipstick. I tried to find dupes and so far i only found NYX in B52, kinda similar but it doesn't have that shine that make your lips look full like the benefit does. So i'm sticking with my benefit :D

On the cons side, this lipstick finish very quickly. one lipstick only for like 3  months more less, i don't know if i use it to barbaric but it finish too soon! i'm in my fourth rocket pop lipstick now and got only one backup.. i so cannot life without this lipstick hahahahaha

I'm still a lipstick adventurer but i will always have this as my HG and something that will never go wrong *wink*

Overall Rating : 4.5/5  ( .5 cut : pricey stuff for something that finish so fast!)
Will buy again : Definitely

*sorry for the not so good pics :p

Review.. Review.. Skincare and Makeup Part I

Kayanya september gue ga updatean post deh ya ehehehe.. today review day aja deh.. sebelum prajab :(

1. MAC lightful moisturizer : well i choose this than yerba mate from kiehl's.. and at first i kinda regret it cause i dont feel like it's doing anything to my face.. it's still the same dull and kusem (*kagak tau bahasa inggrisnya hahaha*) face, but then it hit me when i finish the whole jar.. a week after that, my face is so not healthy.. dry, flaky or sometmes over oily.. i miss my MAC :( but i think i'm going to try the yerba mate next.. wish me luck

2. MAC studio moisture tint.. akyu sukaaaaa tp kayanya a bit dark for me warnanya.. jadi suka gue tambahin pake feverlet HD yg pektay abeess itu hehehe.. * ga jelas deh ni kulit muka gue apaan, beneran bingung NC or NW or yellow or pink hahahha* tapi untuk sebagai tinted moisturizer ini very reccomended especially with the spf.


3. lagi jatuh cinta sama Everyday Minerals.. basenya makes you look so soft... tp kayanya again gue salah shade hahahaha.. karena oxidize di gue... but i love their brushes.. flat top and the LHK.. mi likey!!! gue lagi mau pre order lagi si ehhehehe moga2 dapet shade yg cucokk..
