During the holiday season, my Mom was describing her nightmarishly dry cross-country flight. For whatever reason, the climate in the cabin was incredibly arid, causing passengers to frequently request water from the flight attendants and compulsively apply lip balm. Curious about what product Mom turned to for soothing her tortured lips, I asked if she carried a lip balm. She said no… she instead leaned on an incredibly moisturizing, emollient lipstick that I had given her as a gift. Mom pulled a long, sleek black lipstick case from her bag that I recognized immediately as lipstick from Benefit.
By strange coincidence, it just so happened I had treated myself to a tube of this lipstick only weeks before. The shade Rocket Pop is a matches-with-anything neutral tone that can be worn in any season. Benefit’s Silky Finish Lipstick also happens to moisturize extremely well, making it the perfect choice for anyone who needs her lipstick to multi-task… Adding color to her lips while eliminating dryness.
Benefit Cosmetics Silky Finish Lipstick is available in 24 different shades, ranging from racy red to sheer pink, and retails for $16 st Benefit Cosmetics.
