Forbidden Flower is a peachy cream color. It’s rich and creamy with a soft fig scent. It looks orangey in the tube sometimes, but doesn’t go on orangey at all. It’s a soft peachy-coral. I find it works best when applied from the tube directly on the lips, blotted, then reapplied. Otherwise it can look a bit streaky. Blending with a lip brush helps too. Still love it. I got mine from Bergdorf Goodman in NY. The ladies there are fabulous and very helpful. So is Edward 🙂
See my other Edward Bess Lipsticks here. I’ve done a few other lip swatches with Pure Impulse + Soft Whisper, Bare Rose Lipgloss and Forever Yours. You can get a better idea of my skintone by checking my foundation swatches (see sidebar). I’m a Chanel Shell Teint Innocence in the liquid formula.
Edward Bess products can also be purchased on EdwardBess.com.

Ooh, want! A very lovely shade for summer.
It looks very peachy on you! The texture seems really creamy and smooth. very lovely!
Love the color, so pretty! Do you order Edward Bess from the website or from Bergdorfs directly?

Y'de I had been to this outlet mall and in the rest area a lovely lady carrying LV bag and wearing a Pair of Tory burch pulled out EDWARD BESS Lipstik to apply…I was literally staring at her lips…Maybe its Sabrina,…Needless to say, she freaked out…LMAO…
Hi ladies, hope the US girls are having a great 4th of July! Fireworks will start here in California in the next hour 🙂
Em, Stephanie, LS, LovelyAndroid, Martha, DSK Steph – I love EB lippies. Classic and lovely.
Diane – I order directly from the counter, but shipping can be a bit pricey at $12.95.
Catherine – Can't wait to hear about your trip! Glad you're back!
Resham – OMG, you didn't!!! That is hilarious!!!! But OMG, I would have totally freaked out if I saw another woman using Edward Bess too. I've been no where near the outlets though. I avoid them like the plague when it's holiday season in the US. Your post just nearly killed me, lol.
Wow what a gorgeous neutral on you. I bet it would be orange on me.
Forbidden Flower is a beautiful shade! It's gorgeous =)
