For anyone interested, Besame just sent out an email last night with exactly the same info that Honey Doll posted. AND, in addition, they are selling the Satin Rolls that the brush sets used to come in (no brushes, :( )for $8 each. Also, they are selling the puffs for the rouge, pressed powder... -

I'll give it whirl, LOL! I tried dry rice/water, and that didn't work for me. -

Cold Cream- Brands and advice!
I actually bought an old "cream top" milk bottle to put my locally-produced, organic, non-homogenized milk into. But the inside is not clean, and I can't seem to get it clean, so I gave up. Now it just sits on a shelf, looking cute. -

Those are in good shape! I didn't see those, I've been looking for a good vintage cold cream jar, too. I like the lower, shallow ones better, but they are harder to find, esp. with good lids. -

Cold Cream- Brands and advice!
My update report on the cold cream cleansing: I finally got some Thayer's Rose Petal/Witch Hazel and used it last night. I still used my Avene in between the cold cream and the Thayer's though. Well, I noticed quite a few previously stubborn (and even some previously unseen) blackheads that... -

Oops, I should mention that I don't own that particular set, though I do have some similar! I don't have a digital camera yet (grrr) so I used that photo I found online. I'll post some pics of my actual stash soon, I may have to borrow my sis's camera to do it! -

YAY!!!!!!:eusa_clap I am so glad to hear this! Made my day, thanks for emailing and getting a straight answer. Now, I will be impatiently waiting for the new line. (where's the impatient, foot-tapping smilie?) -

I love those MK refillable compacts, if only they would make them more stylish and attractive, like the Besame vanity case! -

Life Before/After? Besame
Really? The part that wears off of my Besame products is the red of the writing and logo. I haven't had any of the gold-tone wear off yet. I thought I read somewhere, in an interview with GH, that she even customized the metal alloy mix to use for the packaging, because she wanted a certain... -

Oh, now I want to buy that! How cool! Is the brush, paper, and tube of mascara inside that cylinder? Something like this? Edited to add: I'm in trouble, it seems they will ship that La Bella mascara to the U.S. I can't imagine the shipping costs, though... -

Life Before/After? Besame
Cool find! While looking for vintage cigarette cases online (which were the inspiration for the Besame Vanity Case), I found what seems to be the actual case that Besame used, and customized for their Vanity case: So, if you want to buy your own vintage-style vanity/cigarette case, and... -

My pleasure! These come up on ebay quite often, and I've noticed that lately, the selling prices are alot lower than what I have paid in the past! -

Wish I had the confidence to make a video that many people would see, LOL! Hope you win, and that there will be new products for you to buy with the winnings! I was always hoping they'd put out a cake mascara, at least as a limited edition, in a metal mascara compact like the vintage ones... -

I hadn't considered doing the video, but come to think of it: that is yet another very recent promotion that Besame started just before the big clearance. It seems that the winner of the contest, if there still will be one, will have a very limited choice to spend the coupon on! -

Life Before/After? Besame
Alot of women over on MUA who liked Julie Hewitt also liked Besame, and there were quite a few comparisons made. It's supposed to be a very good line, though (like Besame) very pricey! Those lipsticks are nice looking, more of a "generic" retro case, without the Besame decorations. I used... -

I'm not sure if that would help. But I think those expiration dates are for products that are being used, not for unused products. Products being used are being exposed to microbes, while unopened, unused items are not. Though, the more water (or other volatile solvent) in a product, the more... -

I don't see the lipsticks, pencils, powders, etc. going bad. Maybe the mascara, or the rose lotion. Maybe the foundation, but I think it would take awhile, it's not overly watery. -

Cold Cream- Brands and advice!
Well, I bought some of the Queen Helene last night, but couldn't find the Thayer's Rose and Glycerin toner, might make my own. The QHCC smells just like orange blossoms, which I love! I massaged it on in the shower, wiped off with a warm wet washcloth. Then, since I had no rosewater toner, I... -

Yes, but it seems like she is being very cynical and sarcastic about the so-called "all-natural" movement in cosmetics. That beet one is hilarious, and so true! The one with the soot "eyeliner" made me think of my sister's family: her in-laws are Indians who are very traditional Hindus, and when... -

Ummm, this is strange... Okay, I don't know if we are allowed to post youtube links, so I will simply say, there are two very strange, short videos on youtube from "besamegirl" that were posted a month ago, starring Gabriela Hernandez. (There is a third one from 9 months ago that is more, shall...
