Besame cosmetics

[Audrey Horne]

Eek! I just placed an order. I spent entirely more than I should have but I'm sure it will be worth it. I've been wanting to try Besame for ages and this seems like a good time. I'll post pics when it arrives

I just ordered the Souffle Foundation in Bisque, the Boudoir Rouge in Crimson, and a refill for my Cashmere Powder Compact in Light.

I've used the Bisque foundation before and liked it but I've been using drug/discount store cosmetics for a while now due to being on a tighter budget. I'm looking forward to trying the Crimson shade of the Boudoir Rouge. I ran out of powder in my Cashmere Powder Compact a long time ago so it will be nice to finally refill it.

The Souffle Foundation at only $10 is less expensive than the drugstore foundation I've been using and the rouge at $10 and powder compact refill at $9 are comparable to drugstore prices as well so I figured there was no reason not to purchase the Besame.

The only thing I see for $10 is their foundation. I'm thinking of buying a lipstick too. Am I missing something?

The rouges, foundation, lotion, and powder all are $10. HURRY! LOL

 

[Audrey Horne]

I bought the foundation, translucent powder, two eye shadows, and the vanity case. Thanks for the heads up!

The scuttlebutt on the interwebz is that Besame is doing away with their 1940's inspired packaging and formulas. I don't believe it but I can't find information to corroborate either side of the rumours.

Anyone have information? If they are introducing new colors and formulas.. honestly how can they improve on an already amazing line of products?

I made a purchase last evening and again today.

I am caught up in all the PANIC!!

I love Besame and have been wearing it for about a year and a half now. I wish their great products were not going away I would like to think that they will stay with the 40s packaging and colors, along with the great quality.

Who knows...[huh]

 

[RetroMom]

I really hope it isn't true that they are revamping and getting rid of the "vintage" packaging and going modern. Especially since the founder stated in the beginning that the line was created to celebrate old fashioned glamour.

I guess we will just have to wait and see and enjoy the bargains while they last!

Also, they are still including the catalog with their orders, which doesn't make sense if the line is being revamped.

I wonder if part of moving some product isn't creating a panic among gals like us..

PLEASE EMAIL BESAME

SAVE OUR BESAME!!!!

I got on their website (after placing a mega-order) and left an email with their customer service pleading for them to reconsider doing away with these products.

Why would they want to abandon the retro glam makeup and become just another beauty company. Isn't this what set them apart.

Ladies-- pleasssssse do the same and send them an email!

Well its -possible- that they are redesigning the packaging and not necessarily towards the more modern...and thus want to clear out the older stuff....

Really hard to know until they do what they do...

That thought did cross my mind...I would like to think they are being honest about it...otherwise they risk angering a lot of us who purchased a great deal of their products thinking it would no longer be available.

 

[NoraLoy]

I'v also heard that they're reformulating and repcakaging some things and coming out with new products.So we'll have to see.

 

[Blondie]

I have asked around too, and was told they are reformulating their products.

 

[Pina Bridgette]

Thanks for all the updates, ladies!

I recall hearing that they were coming up with some bakelite molds for their products, I thought I missed them but maybe its the new packaging?

 

[Miss Neecerie]

Uggggg

I was lured in...and now my CC is gonna hate me........bought way too much

 

[JazzBaby]

Last year they were advertising as 'coming soon' a lipstick in an Art Deco style case. Maybe we have this to look forward to? *crosses fingers*

 

[PS]

I emailed them last night and received this response this afternoon........

I'm really happy to hear they are doing full sized lipsticks at last, but at what cost?!
