The Spring Season: Benefit Candy Store Lipstick
The Spring Season: Benefit Candy Store Lipstick
Benefit Candy Store Lipstick
($18.00) is a semi-sheer medium pink with golden shimmer and a glossy sheen. On my lips, it really deepens and emphasizes the natural rosy-pink of my lip color while adding golden shimmer and a reflective, glossy sheen. Benefit’s Silky Finish Lipsticks have this really moisturizing, glossy feel. It’s almost like lipstick and lipgloss had a baby and called it Silky Finish. It’s very wearable all on its own, partially because it does have such a nice sheen without having to add a gloss (which also makes it convenient to keep in your bag!).
Is this the right pink lipstick 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.

Benefit Candy Store Lipstick
I love this! Its so pretty. Def have to get it!!
Hi Christine! Is this color similar to MAC Fresh Salmon Lipstick?
I think it’s darker – it doesn’t have the same brightness of Fresh Salmon!
if u had to choose between the two for someone who’s an nc30 which would u recommend?
wow the color looks so much better on than in the tube!
Noooo you’re enabling me!!!
pretty! did you have to layer it a lot? is it sheer?
Nope, I didn’t have to layer it a lot. I’d call it more semi-sheer.
kind of reminds me of fresh salmon from the colour forecast collection. what do you think christine?
Darker/deeper – they’re kind of similar, but I don’t think they’re the same!
This is so absolutely gorgeous!
I feel like it looks really similar to MACs new Fresh Salmon (which I really want to get my hands on!) Which one do you prefer?? And which one do you think would last longer?
IMO, this is darker/deeper pink. I find MAC lasts a little longer, but Benefit isn’t drying at all (MAC is a little).
This is really pretty. I might have to invest in one. 🙂
Very gorgeous.
Oh, it’s absolutely boooooty-ful! I am forever looking for a colour like that! And it looks gorgeous on your lips too. Total winner.
This color is fantastic, but for some reason I have an issue with lipstick that’s not shaped like lipstick. I know that’s weird, but it bothers me. LOL!
I LOVE Benefits lipsticks. I absolutely want ALL of them
Ooh I think I’m gonna grab 1 <3
wow! Gorgeous! It reminds me of the fresh salmon lipstick thats caming out next week with MAC spring colour forecast.
i have this lipstick but it looks crazy gold and frosty on my lips. it looks fab on yours though!
This is really pretty! One of these days, I’m going to have to splurge on a couple of Benefit lipsticks!
Ooooh, I think I need this! I have two other Silky Finish lipsticks – Jing-a-Ling and Sugar Cookie, and I love them! 😀
I have this lippie, and I must say the staying power is TERRIBLE. I love Benefit’s Full Finish lipsticks, but I’ll never buy another from this line…
Oooh I like this one a lot! The golden shimmer is perfection. 🙂
ooooh, I love this….gorgeous but simple! Do you know of any cheaper dupes?
Sorry, I don’t know any of any cheaper dupes at this time!
Is it similar to MAC Vitorian?
Darker, deeper pink!
Hmm.. so many similar pink shades now.. I don’t know! I already have Peach passion.. Now I am lemming this and UD Naked! 😀
The color is gorgeous! Its got enough color to carry into to summer too!
When I went to Sephora the girl recommended this to me because the shade looks good on most skin tones and I love it!
Needs! I love this shade.
omg this is so pretty
I really like the look of this. I’ll have to visit Sephora if I can dig my way out of this blizzard.
Benefit’s Silky Finish lippies are so fantastic! Will definitely have to snap up this little baby!
candy store is the perfect name for this!
I have this lippie: the color is pretty, agreed, but there is just wa-a-ay too much shimmer… 🙁
