Besame make one of my favourite ever red lipsticks - Red Hot Red, which is a bright classic red with just a hint of orange that makes it flattering and wearable on my pale skin.
This is a US line that is aimed squarely at the retro beauty market. There are lots of fabulous red lipsticks and the products all come in vintage looking mini compacts. The lipsticks are tiny - the metallic bullet shaped container is the size of my little finger - but they are intensely pigmented, and the special blend of clay, pigment and moisturising factors mean that you don't need to constantly reapply. They don't bother my dry lips either.
Update: these aren't available here quite yet - I've emailed Cult and Besame lipsticks will be available at Cult Beauty in the UK from September, and I believe they will cost £11 each. In the meantime, you can see the colours at Besamecosmetics.com - look at the Enchanting lipsticks, not the Voluptuous sets.
I'm going to finally buy Carmine, a hot reddish coral that's ever so Grace Kelly. Picture is courtesy of Cult Beauty, and is of Red Hot Red.

I am sure these are available in Selfridges too. Or were....
ReplyDeleteHello BBB
ReplyDeleteBesame was available at Selfridges briefly last year. Unfortunately it was just before the brand had a bit of an overhaul, and the display was a terrible, messy little thing on the end of a display in the beauty bit at the back near the chocolates (and they never had Carmine in stock.) I think it's gone from there now.
Thanks for visiting :)
