The Spring Season: Benefit Jing-a-ling Lipstick

Benefit Jing-a-Ling Lipstick ($18.00) is a creamy, mostly neutral pink with golden shimmer. Depending on what I wear it with, I’ve found it can look more blue-pink or yellow-pink. It looks semi-opaque when applied to my lips, but it does noticeably pink and pale ’em up with a very creamy look. It almost looks like a milky pink on me, but not quite so pale. I wore Jing-a-Ling with MAC Nymphette in this sunset-eye look. Benefit’s Silky Finish Lipsticks tend to have a little more slip, so I find they last about three or four hours, but the silkiness of the finish does make it a more moisturizing lipstick.

Is this the perfect pink 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.

I am absolutley getting this lipstick with my next Benefit order (with Erase Paste and Fawn over me eyeshadow). Love Sugarbomb by the way – great purchase 🙂

I went to pick up lady’s choice after seeing it on you thinking it would be a great everyday colour but it turned out to be too dark. It’s funny seeing this colour (jing-a-ling) look so pink on you because it turned out to be my perfect natural!! Thanks so much. I wouldn’t have given these a second look if I hadn’t have seen them here. They are my new favorite formula!

funny- i bought jing a ling based on these swatches (based about an hour ago) and when on my own lips i agree– more of natural, “my lips but better” type of look rather then one that pales em up a little bit. still a good buy though 🙂 and so silky to boot!

Christine, are these swatches pretty true to color????
I was so ready to buy this.. but yesterday a sephora, the one I had was soooo dark and coral – it did not look pink at all… 🙁

Hey Christine, was just wondering are jing a ling and urban decay naked lipstick similar?? And which mac lip sticks would they both compare to?? I really want both because they look gorgeous on you!!

I have Jing-a-ling and I love it! However that may be because I’m blonde and super partial to pink lipsticks. It looks really pretty on you 🙂
