I love Besame Cosmetics, that’s no secret…and I subscribe to their newsletter because I love hearing Gabriela’s makeup tips. So imagine my surprise when I opened their newsletter to find one of my reviews featured for their Delightful Rose Lotion! It totally made my day!

Here’s a great expert tip from Besame Cosmetics owner, Gabriela Hernandez on how to get that smoky eye look. She always offers great tips and expert advice in her newsletter!

Foundation or primer for your lids
Loose powder to set

Dark grey shadow

I’m not one to stick to a particular brand and just about everyday I mix and match my makeup to suit my mood. I would find it inherently blaaaaahh to just do my face with just Este Lauder or Nars each day. How boring.
Some of my favorite mix and match products are:
* Lumiere Mineral Makeup’s Lavender Pearl along my lower lid with Jane Iredale’s Think Pink eyeshadow trio on my upper lid and brow bone.
* NYX Comsetics Super Volume Lip Plumper and Lulu Beauty’s Velvet Lip Lustre.
* Max Factor Volume Couture for thickness and length and Imju Fiberwig Mascara for …read more

My previous encounter with Besame Cosmetics Enriched Lip Glaze was a positive one; this time is no different. I was in love with their Chocolate Lip Glaze when it was just a small sample and recently I was sent Cotton Candy and Shimmer Peach.
Both have a very light Vanilla fragrance and both have a nice thick and creamy consistency. The Cotton Candy is a pale pink that gives your lips a frosted color and the Shimmer Peach has some nice sparkle to it.
The Enriched Lip Glaze is made with vitamins A, C, E and anti-oxidant green tea extract. They also …read more
