Bésame Cosmetics

Bésame Cosmetic’s Enriched Lip Glazes are slowly becoming a staple in my handbag. I’ve mentioned earlier that I don’t necessarily like lip gloss because they are so sticky and reapplying is rather annoying, but these Lip Glazes are almost worth all that, they simply look beautiful!

Bésame’s Enriched Lip Glazes contain vitamins A, C, E, and heals and protects lips with aloe vera, macadamia nut extract and sweet almond oil. The lip gloss is amazing for moisturizing, and gives a hint of color, so it’s not over the top (there are other colors, like Chocolate and Red Berry, that I’m sure gives more color for darker skin tones), but since I’m pretty fair, lighter colors look better on me.

I first heard about Bésame Comsmetics in 2006, and I was definitely impressed with their beautiful, old-glamour packaging.

The Story

The formula of Gingerbread formula dates back to the 1930s and was recreated by Besame Chemists for a “truly special mascara, made out of only 8 simple ingredients to give you defined, beautiful and healthy eyelashes.”

After hearing that the formula dated back to the 30s, and that this mascara was completely natural and healthy, I couldn’t wait to use it – it almost felt like I could take a step back in time and see how makeup was like in that era!

The Product

Gingerbread mascara lives up to the brands glamorous image, in its beautiful gold plated tube decorated by their signature Chrysanthemums. What’s different about this mascara, however, is that it is natural and scented – its gingerbread scent acts as a guard against bacteria.

This mascara is also made of only natural ingredients, is allergy tested, paraben-free, and is safe for sensitive eyes, making Gingerbread one of the most natural mascaras on the market today.

My thoughts!

Firstly – how refreshing that this mascara actually smells nice – I couldn’t stop smelling it! The mascara delivers a very natural, lengthening look and has great staying power (it is waterproof, which I normally hate, but this was very easy to remove).

However, it is almost too natural looking for me – if I’m gonna wear mascara, I gotta have big eyelashes! (A great mascara for that is this and this.) For those who like an everyday, natural soft mascara that stays, this would be perfect.
