Besame Crimson Cream Rouge for Lips and Cheeks



If there's one product you need on your vanity, it's the Besame Crimson Cream Rouge. Not only is the packaging unique and vibrant but the product iteslf is a high-performing red tint for both cheeks and lips. Besame Cosmetics is a brand that recreates elegant, vintage luxury makeup from the 1920s to 1950s. The classic chrysanthemum motifs are found across all of Besame's products. 


The Besame Crimson Cream Rouge is a cream lip/cheek tint that retails for $22 at http://www.besamecosmetics.com/. Pricewise, it's mid-range (not drugstore, not high-end) and the packaging plus awesome product makes it worthwhile. I got mine in my May 2013 Wantable Box



The product itself... crazy. Tap your finger onto the red cream and get an insane amount of product on your finger (enough for both cheeks, lips, and then some). Since you literally need the teeniest bit for one application, I know this one's gonna last me a long time (I went through the NYX cream blush in less than 8 months).

The texture is creamy, but not too soft or sticky. It dries to a matte finish which is great for the cheeks but a tad drying on the lips so you might want a balm underneath or a gloss on top. 
Oh, and let's not forget the saying power. Long-lasting is an understatement. The Cream Rouge lasts 6+ hours on my oily skin. 

The only issue with such a pigmented product is that you can end up looking like a doll or clown (or just plain crazy). For example... 




Blending with a light hand or a brush with loosely packed hairs is absolutely necessary. A little time spent buffing and blending the product into the skin makes for the perfect natural flush.

Do you own any red blushes?
