Intro to Review: I had no business going into Sephora that afternoon but J.C. Penny sent me a coupon in the mail to have my color matched and to receive a free sample of my match at their Sephora inside of the J.C. Penny store. I walked into Sephora with my coupon in hand and instead of leaving out with a free sample, I had a small black and white bag full of goodies. My favorite of the purchase was Beso, a true red matte lipstick from Stila. I know you already know how much I love a red matte lip, and you know that I have tons of red matte lipsticks, but I had to add it to my collection after the girl at Sephora suggested it to me when I saw that Dragon Girl by Nars was still out of stock. I rubbed Beso, which is a liquid lipstick, on my lips and a few minutes later I fell in love. After the purchase, I wore Beso for a few days and was so impressed, I had to share my review with you guys.
Description from Sephora.com:
Beso is also a color that is very complementary to my complexion. Since I am dark skinned, when I purchase some reds, I have to keep building on the color to get full coverage…especially on my top lip where my skin is darker. One swipe of Beso provided full coverage for me and I was very satisfied. I also loved that this is a true matte lipstick and my lips looked so full and beautiful all day long.
Price: I paid $22 at Sephora for 0.10 Oz of the product. I know it seems like a lot, but since the product is a full coverage lipstick that delivers long wear with out transfer…I think it’s a steal. Trust me, I will purchase more at this price because this product performs so well. I also love the fact that this product does not contain parabens…
Overall Review: I just love this product. It last longer than 6 hours even after eating and drinking and kissing people all day long. When I was testing the product, I attended a Hair Show–Chew’s Hair Affair–and received complements from make up artists who asked what I was wearing and where I purchased it from. That was enough to seal the deal. LOL. I also love the coverage of this lipstick and the fact that it is so becoming on my darker skin tone. This is a dark girl’s dream lipstick and I cannot wait to dry different colors of this formulation in the future.
Until Next Time
