Red Velvet is a holy grail red for me! I looked for a suitable red for day for quite a while before I finally tried this. I'm so impressed with Besame's formula -- a lovely vanilla scent, a creamy...

I only got this as a sample, which didn't last as long as I had hoped, but I was impressed with the quality of the lipstick. A good creamy/waxy consistency but reasonably long lasting, doesn't...

This is my ultimate red lipstick for my colouring. Whenever I wear this I get positive comments, and it always adds a little spring to my step. Being a lover of vintage items, I find the...

I loved the lipstick in terms of color payoff and moisture--and the packaging is very cute too although the lipstick does slide out of the velvet casing. However this lipstick looks more fuchsia...

This is in my top 5 red lipsticks, and I'm a collector. A deep, rosy, slightly cool red. On me (NW20), it is quite dramatic, although not screamingly bright--definitely a color to be saved for...

I agree that this is more of a rosy red than a true red. It actually reminds me of Nars Trans-Siberian (officially described as a "ruby rose") which is getting harder and harder to find. The...

This shade is genius. Besame describes this as a neutral, everyday red. You might wonder if such a shade could really exist but Red Velvet is it! It looks equally beautiful on me (ivory-skinned)...

This is by far the best "true red" for my fair complexion. It is truly an "every day red" that does not scream "look at me--I am wearing red lipstick." Instead, it's the type of lip color that...

Just as the others have described, this is the perfect red. Not warm or too cool, just a perfect neutral shade. Consistancy is great, nice and creamy. Love it!

This is definitely (as the site describes) a very nice neutral red perfect for day or night and even the office. Although red screams "DRAMATIC", this shade definitely is not. What's even more...
