If you follow my twitter feed, you will have seen from my (over-excited) tweets last night that I attended the blogger launch of the Edward Bess make up line in the UK at Zuneta.
Edward Bess is lovely. He's every bit as pretty in the flesh as he is in photographs and videos, and very charming in a quiet and non-flashy way. What came across in the two hours he spent with us was how much he genuinely likes and gets women.
We were all given the same lipstick to take home; Secret Desire, a peachy pink shade. Like the classy ladies we are a bunch of us went to the pub afterwards and while there did a mass application - it was surprising how well it managed to suit a variety of different colourings.
Applied. Peachy pink, not too pale, chalky or dry-looking.
Swatched on my hand. I think this shade works for me despite not being in my usual comfort zone because it's quite sheer and has a sheen.
Edward Bess is available at www.zuneta.com in the UK.
Disclosure: product was provided without charge as part of launch event.

I was a great evening and a pleasure to meet Edward and others that share an real enthusiasm for beauty.
ReplyDeleteI have to admire how he has created such a quality range that holds it's own against the many brands out on the market.
Of course I cannot go without saying as well that he is even more beautiful in real life.
Go Team Edward!

wow this lipsick looks lovely on you...really nice subtle shade for everyday x
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty but maybe a bit pale in the context of the whole pace? I love better your reds :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a really nice lipstick, I'm planning on wearing it over the weekend - whilst it was just a tiny bit surreal seeing 8 bloggers with the same lipstick one, what was probably oddest about it was that it looked good - and slightly different - on everyone.
ReplyDeleteLovely range, and an adorable creator. I still think he'd snap in a strong wind though.
I'm kicking myself for not coming to the pub now. I would have loved to see the mass application!
ReplyDeleteI've been wearing it today and again, it's not my usual kind of shade but I like it. I found I quite liked the fig scent too. I'm really looking forward to getting the bits I ordered. :)

What a great colour! This could be your 'nude' lip :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous you got to meet Edward Bess...
Hi Athena - it was great evening, and really nice to say hello to you too. Team Edward! ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Marina - thank you. x
Hi Amina - for this kind of colour, it is easy to wear. I usually find the peachy colours very hard.
Hello Beauty Geeek - thank you!
Hi Anonymous - me too, I still prefer my reds and won't be chucking them out any time soon ;) Because my colouring is quite high contrast I feel like I look better with a brighter lip too. Thanks for your comment. :)
Hi Get Lippie - he was very slim - I think BBB wants to feed him up! It was funny seeing everyone applying the same colour.
Hey Jane - it's a shame you couldn't stay. I'm looking forward to reading what you think of your order when you get it. x
Hi Dempeaux - he was lovely :)
