Benefit Lipstick in Do Tell Review – Glam Radar

I won this lippie with a Flake a couple of weeks ago and was impressed when it turned up less than a week after I’d entered the code online despite being told it would take 3-4 weeks to be with me.Here is my review Benefit Lipstick in Do Tell !

It’s rosy pink in the tube but when swatched heavily to show what it’s like on the lips with 2 coats, it’s definitely got a purple hint to it as you can see on the left. For that reason it’s not great on me worn in this way. I prefer to dab it on lightly as it looks fresher and brighter and on the right I’ve just patted on a little bit. Anything with a mauve tone makes me look half dead.

I was a bit unsure which one to pick when I entered the code. The colours look vastly different on the Flake website compared to the swatches on the Benefit website and we all know how misleading online swatches can be anyway. I figured that I’ll probably end up with at least a couple of them (damn my weakness for Cadbury’s chocolate) so I just picked one. It’s not as wearable as I’d like but I probably should have gone down to the counter and had a look at them rather to make a better decision. Ah well, I’m not that sensible.
