Enchanting Lipstick in Red Velvet
When my signature red lipstick was discontinued, I was so bummed that I considered having it reformulated. Then, the nude-gloss revolution distracted me just long enough for a tiny tube of Besame’s Red Velvet to arrive in the mail. This deep red makes me want to purr seductively in soft lighting, and it smells great too–a little like chocolate. It will have you winking at strangers in no time.
$18 at Besame Cosmetics
