Edward Bess Night Orchid lipstick applied, and chance to meet Mr Bess

This post is for Lucia, who is considering an Edward Bess lipstick, and specifically Night Orchid. Please excuse the non-pristine state of my lipstick - I've had it for a while.

Night Orchid applied to my lips and in context of the rest of my face. Do please bear in mind that my lips tend to mute colours, and on someone with more pigmented lips this will appear pinker.
Swatched on my hand. Edward Bess Tender Love lipstick on left, Night Orchid lipstick on right. Tender Love is a more rosy/plum shade, to Night Orchid's slightly milky pink with subtle coral undertones.
I definitely find this shade easier to wear in the summertime - it doesn't work for me on my slightly green wintertime complexion. 
I'm very excited by the imminent launch of the Edward Bess line in the UK at www.zuneta.com, and there is an event to meet him next Wednesday, 14 July. Zuneta are offering five customers the chance to attend the launch - but the draw is happening tomorrow so you'll need to hurry. Details are here

  2. Hi Sabrina - I think it's a more wearable alternative to the Lancome Chris & Tell - it's not so 'Look at these CORAL lips!' if you know what I mean.

    You have me very tempted by Forbidden Flower too!

  6. Are you going to the launch? I won a place, I am so excited. Absolutely beautiful lipstick, though honestly from the name I was expecting something much darker.

    I really hope you'll be there, it'll be so lovely to meet you in person.
