    Red Hot Red

    The first two Besame lipsticks I purchased were Victory Red and Red Velvet. I originally wasn’t planning on getting another one right away but when I saw this color was based on Marilyn Monroe’s favorite color I couldn’t resist. (I’ve been a big Marilyn fan for years.) The packaging is pretty, as all Bésame lipsticks are. The color is a bright, warm toned red. After reading reviews and looking at swatches I was a little concerned it would look too orange on me. After trying it I saw happily that It didn’t. It feels light on the lips and wears well without feathering. Although the texture seems a bit creamier…
