The Spring Season: Benefit Lady’s Choice Lipstick
Benefit Lady’s Choice Full-Finish Lipstick ($18.00) is an ultra creamy pinky-nude with a glossy sheen and no shimmer. It’s pink enough to be almost like a very light and pale pink, but it’s still more of a nude. I love the full coverage of the formula, and it is such a moisturizing lipstick formula. It feels like you’re putting butter on your lips at first, and then it just melts into your lips beautifully. This is the kind of shade that pairs exceptionally well with smoky eyes.
Is this pale pink-nude the one for you? Would you wear it?
The Spring Season is a series of posts featuring my favorite soft beige, coral, and pink lipsticks and lipglosses — all perfect for the first blossom of spring — that runs through March 2010.

Christine, I want to ask you how does it compare with YSL's Rouge volupte in #1 Nude Beige (colour wise) , since my local Benefit counter is out of this colour :(
It does seem pretty similar!
wow this color looks so pretty and pinky nudey on you! on me it looked soooo dark..loved the swatch on my hand and on other people but once i bought it and tried it on at home it was really pink brown on me..but my lips are naturally not so pigmented and I'm pretty pale so I guess thats why :(
pretty color! how similar do you think it's close with Mac 3N lipstick? That color is my HG
Hmm, paler, I'd say.
I got this color from Sephora as a gift (Beauty insider gift) and I absolutely love it. Thanks to that sample I've discovered my favorite lipstick formular, which is Benefit. I also bought "Dessert First" from Benefit and it's a gorgeous color with the same wonderful glide-on ease.
Yayy! I'm so glad you discovered Benefit's lipstick!
this is my favorite lipstick from the spring season thing so far I NEEEEED IT!
mines too!!
ooh, nice color! I wonder if it is too much like MAC's 2N lipstick from the LE collection a long time ago... Do you think it is a dupe for that, before I go out and run to Sephora and buy it?
On me, it's definitely not, but 2N didn't show up very well on me :(
Benefit makes the creamiest lipsticks! They're like butter! I got a sample of this color from Sephora (100 pt perk). Just ended up looking more brown than pink on me. Looks great on you though!
ohmygosh! SO BEAUTIFUL! <33! I WANT WANT WANT! So pretty!
I think this is a pretty nude on ya! Particularly, it covers spot on your lips flawlessly. I really should check this out, thanksfor mentioning it!
I love it!
this looks like my fave "cheapy" lipstick! check out baby pink color comfort lipstick by sally hansen natural beauty
I was shopping the other day and was set on buying a new l/s. I wanted to try something other than Mac, so I headed to Benefit and purchased this. In the store this was super creamy and the salesgirl was so complimenting that I caved in. But when I tried it on again in the car it looks more like an opaque, brown/pink than a pink/nude shade. I am enjoying the 'creamyness' though, but I'm not sure that I can wear this for a 'work look'. It may have to go back to Benefit....
Hmm, maybe Benefit's Fame Game... it's really, really pale on me - http://www.temptalia.com/benefit-full-finish-lipsticks-review-photos-swatches
i have this lipstick and i love it. its so creamy and shiny.
Hey beautiful, love this shade. How long does the moisture last? Is it more moisturizing than the lancome one?
They're about the same, IMO! The Lancome is lighter, but this one feels very creamy.
Very pretty!
OMG! SO excited I looooove Benefit lipsticks but they had barely or actually no Nudey Pinks!!! Their formulation is AMAZING butt their color selection to me was not so good. Jing-a-ling was the lightest color they had and to me it was to Pink, I'm a Creme de' Nude kinda girl though! This is a must get for me!!!
Definitely check it out!
I forgot all about this lipstick until I saw your post. I'm tempted to run to Sephora to see it for myself. I love the concept of the Spring Season series. I have a soft spot for coral and pink lippies.
Thanks, Kit :D
I really liked this color but it was too light on me so I gave it to my mom lol.
This lipstick is part of Benefit's Celebutanta kit that I have. It's a very pretty color, but really does show up more mauve on me as well. I'm still on the search for the perfect nude!
Sorry- it's Celebutante! And, it's a wonderful collection of products!!
Gorgeous, I'd likely wear it with my usual smokey. I LOVE this type of color and it'd be perfect on me. :) You say it's a moisturizing formula... However, how does it compare to the other Benefit lipsticks? I own Benefit's lipstick in "Guilt Free (Betty) " (basically a dupe of MAC "O") and it's gorgeous in the tube but I never wear it because it dries up my lips horribly (and they get tiny like grandma lips at the end of the day, yuck). Does this one feel different from other Benefit lipsticks? I love it but wouldn't want to throw away 18€...
When did you get it? Benefit completely reformulated their lipsticks last year or late 2008, I believe. I've loved every single shade (I think I have like 10 or so?) in terms of the formula/feel...
It is pretty and I have never tried Benefit lipsticks before. This one might be a good one to try!
They are amazing! Def my favorite brand! I also love YSL but not crazy about paying $30 for a tube of lipstick their formulations are very similar to me!
I love this color! I am loving the spring season feature, I've bought almost every color you've recommended so far :)
Thanks, Samantha :D
another nice shade to add to my nude collection! love the description about the lipstick, has yet own any lipstick from benefits though.
This was one of the 100 point deluxe samples that I got from Sephora! I really like the texture and the color. Great nude lipstick, in my opinion.
I just bought this lipstick. The color & texture are simply amazing! :D Love it!
this colour is so me! love ittt
I've been looking for a color like this! It looks gorgeous.
Hi Christine, I've been loving all your Spring lip color posts and was wondering what skin tone you are? More specifically in MAC foundation shade? I just want to gauge if the color will look the same on me.
I am NC25 :)
Such a gorgeous color :) I'm lemming
GORG!!!!! Oh man... the Spring Season round up has only just begun and already I have four l/s on my wish list!!! hahaha
Wow Christine this color looks so great on you! I love this color too, I wish I could wear Mac Creme D nude and those kind of color but it makes me look dead....but Ladys choice from benefit actually look s very nice on me as well....I love it.
this is gorgeous! i just might have to pick this up on my next visit to sephora. i looove benefit!
I have a Benefit Silky Finish l/s. It goes on really smooth and glossy but doesn't last long and when it wears off, it wears off in the middle but leaves a ring around the outside. Have you noticed that with the Full Finish l/s? My shade's a little darker, maybe that makes a difference? How was the wear with this one that you reviewed? Thanks!
Nope, I haven't had any problems with the way it fades or stays. I get about four hours or so!
I'm usually not a fan of nude lipsticks (I feel they end up looking the same) but for some reason this one actually stands out to me and it looks very pretty. I think I'll check out this lipstick next time I'm at Sephora :)
OH CHRISTINE!! You are totally making my wallet hurt with all of these GORGEOUS Spring Season colors! I must get them all!
