Edward Bess Forbidden Flower Lipstick

July 3, 2010




*FYI, this swatch photo looks a tad washed out,
the lipstick is the slightest bit brighter in real life

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.

    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.
